Might not be the most comprehensive site on the web, but if you're like me and only watch a few select series, it's great.

One of the worst scenes in any show in recent memory. It looked like something out of a Frank Miller film adaptation and didn't jibe with the studied period realism that the show tries to strike.odium-LSC wrote:Whoa. Ma'fucka got baptized to death.

I don't want to agree with Popeye cause I'm trying really hard to like the show, but it has a lot of weaknesses that I think get overlooked or disregarded because of the good will the show gets because of the pedigree of its producers / creators / actors and it's subject matter.
For one, plot twists or scenes just get thrown in at random without any foreshadowing or rationale (eg, the Ponzi scheme victim lashing out at everyone and this setting off Margaret leaving Nucky; Jimmy's girl getting powned by the photographer and his wife, even though there wasn't any reason given as to why the photographer's wife would pull such a fucked up stunt on her; Nucky and his brother having a blow out even though they reconciled after his brother got shot; etc.). The writing and dialog is frequently poor (Jimmy saying, "I should piss in it!" [the cackling guys drink], almost every interaction Van Alden has, etc.).
Boardwalk Empire is basically a bunch of great scenes mixed around with a bunch of average scenes in a narrative thread that doesn't feel like it has any overriding direction or creative vision. Even though The Sopranos, Deadwood, and The Wire had different writers and directors for most of its episodes, it consistently felt like Chase, Milch, and Simon & Burns, respectively, were overseeing their shows and making sure they were even-keeled and had a unified vision. Boardwalk Empire doesn't have that.
Its first episode is still one of the best, if not the best, debut episodes of any show I've ever seen, but the show hasn't lived up to its promise.

I didn't "repeat exactly" what he said, though, unless by that you mean I agreed with what he said and then expounded on that and added some additional points.

Classic scenes, probably better acting than any other HBO show outside of Deadwood
