The Boardwalk Empire Thread

When Nucky calls he is fooling around with a girl but completely disrespects Nucky by getting head (nucky hears everything), then on top of that he starts double guessing and questioning Nucky’s decisions. The kid’s death was a statement to Owen who has been getting too comfortable around Nucky, it’s a shame because the kid was very likeable - I guess that was the point.

Yeh I remember when he got told to get rid of the kid’s hat. He has been trying to change his way ever since.

The phone call between Rothstein and Doyle was amazing. The smirk on Rothstein’s face is priceless.

since we’re talking about undiagnosed medical conditions, what’s the deal with the fat guy? it was implied that he has some sort of fear of water? but that might be a lie because he’s actually clean looking? and then he admitted he always smells bad no matter what he does?

dat new york douche is a huge douche

doesn’t scrub his balls

Probably excessive sweat, did they have deodrant in those days?

It’s like the kid in freaks in geeks. He just smells. That is all.

Gotta love vicious murderer Al Capone as the man of the people. Prohibition dude needs to join the mafia already and fight people.

A Few Points

-Wow just when I was thinking “Gee there havent been any raunchy sex scenes this season”

-Meyer Lansky and Luciano’s boy is a G for making it out of that house alive.

-Nucky looking real weak now. Crazy how loyalties change.

A strong dialog episode i must say

  • the convo between roth an nuky…wooooooooow.

  • whoa gyp… didnt know you need that choke em style… smh wouldve never thought of it.

  • i understand why they went at gyp the way they did now… took a second but i get it now… an not for nucky either.

  • yeah nucky losin his power grip… he couldnt even get the actor to budge at first. normally people move the moment he opens his mouth

  • um why does jimmys mom think he is still alive… come on she knew the game an knew her son was in it. its either one or the other

—still think harrow shouldve been used to take out gyp. thats just me.

Yeh I did raise an eyebrow when she was writing a letter to him. Maybe she’s in denial

Yeah Definitely some denial going on there.

They gotta go at gyp he threw a wrench in the whole fuckin thing walking around swingin his nuts around (literally even).

Gyp came walking out of that looking like a big nude red hulk. :rofl:

Gyp is the best character. Gyp vs the world.

I don’t think Jimmy’s mom thinks hat Jimmy’s alive, I believe she KNOWS hat Jimmy was killed. I think she is writing those letters to make it seem like he’s stll alive and is just in hiatus. I think she is living in denial and everyone knows it so she tries to live that lie to keep what little she has left which is the whore house.

Oh and Lanskys " boy" is none other than Bugsy Siegel when he was younge and coming up. Him and Lanskys had a street gang called " the Bugs and Meyer mob" when they were growing up in the lower east side of manhattan up into the begining of prohibition. They were hit men for hire and Luciano, Frank Costello, and Joe Adonis who had there own gang called " the Broadway mob" handled the bootlegging and would hire them to protect there shipments coming in and for hits. The " broadway mob" was backed by Arnold Rosthein ( what we see on the show now) and The Bugs and Meyer mob would later become Murder Inc. the broadway mob would later become the Luciano crime family after theySPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY*take down( and assimilate there crime family)Joe the boss Masseria and the boss of bosses Salvatore Marranzano who Masseria went to war with for control of the New York Mafia.

And for the person who said that Masseria was the Black Hand, that really isn’t accurate, the mythos of the Black Hand died out around 1915(in america anyway) before prohibition even started.

Oh and Bugsy is a crazy motherfucker, can’t wait to see more of him on the show. I bet either him or Harrow will take Gyp out for good.

Man Nucky is a piece of shit now. I can’t stand watching his 2-faced bitchass. Even though I had to see Gyp Dick and watch him Carradinin’, at least his craziness catalyzes the events of this season.

I have to get me a Swedish chick if they all have that “Ride Or Die” mentality. Swedish Nanny going all in, even though it was stupid and unnecessary.

Oh and Jimmy’s mom is the hottest piece of crazy I have ever seen. That letter was wow…

i felt so bad for ‘george’… she just mollywhopped him outta no where… did she hit him wit the damn iron he was selling???

well it was noted as the black hand in the show (season 2 by roth)… an the show shaves a few things (ie roths baseball scandal) an flows with others. the history is flowin a smoothly as possible even down to the rise of the chi town war between the north an south…

welcome to the thread though…

Also the fat dude that got beaten up had Trimethylaminuria, a body odor condition that is genetic in nature.

Yeah, I thought it was such a senseless killing.

Gaston Means is my favorite character on the show now. His amusing quips and elongated manner of speaking is so humorous. Stephen Root is a great actor.

I see all the George scene as hilarious pieces of comedy. Maybe I am watching the show wrong though.

It was a meat tenderizer. You could actually see the spike imprints on the dude’s forehead.

So I googled erotic asphyxiation and turns out the first recorded case was in 1791. ~~~~★ The more you know…

No its hilarious… i always laugh cause it just shows how sheltered he was an his social skills. plus I know he is not used to being without full control as noted at his job when the guys cut up
