Boardwalk Empire season 4

[Req]

fuckin boring narcisse still alive.

smh, dude is a great villain and jeff dawg is actin his ass off

oh wait, I forgot, it's a black person

[samdoom]

finale was a downer and a bit slow. thought it was decent but ended the otherwise good season on a somber ass note. That being said, they set up TONS of potential awesome developments (Eli in/around Chicago, AR working (or more?) w Margaret, Narcisse still being alive/around, etc).

I'm hoping that Chalky isn't essentially done as a major character but the ending made it appear that way.

[ardamus]

I was hoping Narcisse got popped at the end and Richard didn't die. Good ending to the season to keep everyone on their toes still.

I think they're more using that as a way to explain why he's gonna be away from AC for a while. He's def gonna show up next season to bring da ruckus

pretty obvious richard is dead. not watching again until i'm told otherwise.

[tehgiftofgab]

Finally watched the whole season in about 4 days, fuck man Richard better come back as a zombie or something fuck THAT

[alpha]

Next season is the last, according to hbo

[tehgiftofgab]

glad eli got to kill that piece of shit fbi cop, scene was mad intense

[samdoom]

Next season is the last, according to hbo

yeah. kinda disappointed to hear this. while I'm mostly on board with shows ending before they wear out their welcome and spin their wheels, I feel like the wealth of characters on this show would have allowed them to go for at least two or three more seasons, even if smaller players became larger focuses of the show.

to me its simply a matter of nooki being the heart of boardwalk empire and the writers running out of things to do with him. how many more seasons of: "a new challenger approaches and tries to take the throne" can they do? I'm all for expanding upon minor characters, and I love all the branching storylines, but it all comes back to nooki.

so boardwalk empire season 5 started last night

i was only mostly interested in the chalky and luciano stories, didnt care too much about nucky's current situation in havana, although his past story is interesting, like how he he started on the boardwalk, and how his relationship was with his father. irish queen shcroeder story is ok, with the bank manager depressed and killing himself

too bad its gonna be a short season (only 8 episodes) so they have to cram a lot in quickly.

[samdoom]

yeah i dont know why they'd choose to only do 8 episodes in the final season, especially with the glacial pacing of the show.

Last night's episode was ok, nothing special. much rather have capone and van alden involved than do long flashbacks to nucky's childhood, although i think the flashbacks were interesting- just wish they'd have done them in previous seasons so this season could be more focused.

[zombie]

apparently they shortened the season because it's expensive as hell to keep the show going. the show is beautiful so i can understand that it takes a lot to maintain that 1920 era feel to the show.

also, i heard the other reason was because they can't keep the fans, they keep flocking over to Game of Thrones, haha...so Game of Thrones is actually the main culprit as to why Boardwalk Empire is failing. That, and the director and Michaal Pitt (Jimmy) couldnt get a long so after Jimmy's character was killed off the director's story kinda jsut went downhill.

[siLLy KiD]

Boardwalk was the only thing keeping me afloat until GoT ;__; fucking whack it's only 8 eps, but maybe it'll be way more fast paced. It also starts off 6 years after season 4, so It's kind of interesting not even really needing to remember where shit left off since so much has changed. We doin a new thread for this tho? or jus lettin it die here with the show?

[zombie]

whoever can make the topic and move posts, i dont care.

can we spoil as we talk? base don articles read?

i'd like to talk more about this season but dont want to get banned or anything.

[siLLy KiD]

i'd rather keep the spoilers out...or at least put em in

brackets...

[Joe Pesci]

Not crazy about the flashback scenes in this episode. Should be better once they get into his relationship with the Commodore.

Hope we get a lot of Chalky, Luciano, Capone, and Van Alden this season.

[alpha]

Pretty solid start. Didn't realize they made a time jump. Gonna be interesting explaining what happened to some of the characters

[zombie]

well history spoilers, by the 1930ish whatever this episode started,

rothstein is fucking dead, and al capone is at the height of his power in chicago.

[alpha]

that bank manager killing himself, and maszerah finally getting merked were the highlights for me. I hated him and his stupid accent

[siLLy KiD]

i meant ACTUAL spoilers about shit that hadn't happened yet...lol. its ok to talk about the episode tho. Agreed on maszerah accent tho so corny.

[The Ivy League Nigga]

I hate the idea of a seven year time jump, especially that it essentially ends Capone's rise to power arc.

[siLLy KiD]

eh. Show isn't really about Capone, it's about nucknuck. And we already saw Capone's beginning of his rise with the death of his boss, and we all knew it was coming anyways. If I had to choose, I'd rather see him in the full swing of things than a season of him climbing to power.

[zombie]

^that

with that being said though, i'd rather skip whatever BS is going on in havana...

its not interesting.

Agreed, HOWEVER....the sets/costumes are absolutely gorgeous

[zombie]

I can agree with that.

[alpha]

that background band in the Cuba scenes made the episode.

[djjeffresh]

first ep was too flashbackey and jumpey. it was time for joe maz to go bc of the story but i always liked his acting, and his accent.

[Smitty]

2 eps in, 6 left in the entire series, and still no Narcisse? Maybe he's behind the attempted hit...

[alpha]

he was in the previews for next week.
also, pretty clear(imo) that charlie and meyer are behind the hit.

wtf happened to chalky? how did he end up getting locked up.
only took 4 seasons but Gillian is mildly interesting this year.

I kinda feel bad for Eli.

Also Van alden yelling " pandemonium" had me
