Boardwalk Empire Season 3 Banter

[Powers]

The new season of Boardwalk premieres tonight! :banger

Who's gonna be rockin' a zoot suite and sippin' on bathtub gin? :D

[EricF]

Me!!!!! :noon

[688sonarmen]

I'll put on my wing tips.

[TJarv]

I'll be watching

[elderboy02]

I will be watching :)

[Mikey202]

ME!!!:noon

[elderboy02]

That was a really good episode. It sure did set up a lot for the season :tu

[icehog3]

Billy is HOT! :dr

[Malakai]

Yep...watched it. Still plenty of ????

[irratebass]

Manny had it coming.

And yes, Billy is hawt.

Jimmie's mom is still psycho

[twm2wyat]

It was fantastic. I have seen that trailer.

[elderboy02]

I like Al Capone when the guy said "I thought you made a resolution", and Al replied "Well, it isn't midnight yet" :r

[irratebass]

I like Al Capone when the guy said "I thought you made a resolution", and Al replied "Well, it isn't midnight yet" :r

That was great!

[newcigarz]

Good Start!

[icehog3]

BILLY!!!! :dr

[Powers]

They sure started off with a bang! Really cool that the party revolved around the discovery of King Tut. I like the new gangster bad guy too, looks like he'll be a good villain.

And I guess Richard went rogue! :gn

[Bill86]

A bit disappointed with Al, he should have taken that dude out. Whatever was in the trunk (obviously not a gun but if it was) no way he could draw it fast enough. Al's buddy had him.

Still a great start for sure.

[irratebass]

I agree Bill, Al backed down too easily, but I am sure that's just building up.

[Powers]

More nekkid Billy and the return of Chalky = good episode :D

PS - How awesome was that Southern FBI guy's line "Ordinary men avoid trouble. Extraordinary men turn it to their advantage." :tu

[elderboy02]

Nekkid Billy is awesome! :dr

[hscmit]

like that they are building chalky's story line back up

[icehog3]

More nekkid Billy and the return of Chalky = good episode :D

PS - How awesome was that Southern FBI guy's line "Ordinary men avoid trouble. Extraordinary men turn it to their advantage." :tu

Nekkid Billy is awesome! :dr

I'm in love.

No, not with Chalky, though there may be a slight man-crush there too. :r

[James In NC]

I was a little confused at the start of the second episode, when Billy got out of bed naked. No, that did not confuse me! But Nucky was wearing a TShirt and Shorts, and pulled on his pants. Now, I have no interest in seeing Nucky's shiny, wrinkly, white backside; but if I was in bed with a side piece like Billy, I sure wouldn't be wearing clothes!

And Nucky getting all upset that his side piece might be not just his side piece... this ought to get interesting!

[Mikey202]

I don't understand the whole " Bone for tuna" statement.....

[14holestogie]

I don't understand the whole " Bone for tuna" statement.....

Bon fortuna...italian? for good fortune.

[elderboy02]

Rosetti sure is a crazy mo fo.

[icehog3]

Rosetti sure is a crazy mo fo.

"Everybody got guns!!". -(P

[TJarv]

"Everybody got guns!!". -(P

That was a great scene

[Powers]

I can't wait till someone whacks Mickey Doyle but that actor does a great job of playing such a quirky weasel of a character

[irratebass]

Rosetti sure is a crazy mo fo.

Such a different character in the movie Win Win

I can't wait till someone whacks Mickey Doyle but that actor does a great job of playing such a quirky weasel of a character

Gotta love his little laugh

[Powers]

Al Capone can't sing for sh*t :r

[irratebass]

Al Capone can't sing for sh*t :r

Those scenes with his son were touching, I actually could feel his kids pain when Al was trying to teach him a punch, it was like "dad, I can't hear you, I don't understand what you want from me." Just tore me up.

Kind of a boring episode though.

[newcigarz]

Kind of a boring episode though.

was thinking the same thing, spent a lot of time in the basement.

[icehog3]

Yup, hoping we get some more action next week. And some Chalky White. :tu

[Stevez]

I actually thought it was a great episode; not boring at all. This show seems to be getting more violent by the week and Nucky is getting real mean. Seems like a huge difference since the first year's episodes. I thought the basement scene was intense because you were almost sure they were going to get caught. I agree about the scene with Capone's son; very touching. Can't wait until next week's episode.

[Powers]

Definitely a more character driven episode than event driven.

But I will echo the sentiment that we need more Chalky! :tu

I agree Nucky is getting more mean, I seen that killing coming, but I didn't think Nuck would do it, I thought for sure the other guy (name escapes me) would while he was lighting his cigarette.

[Powers]

This season has been great for one-liners so far. My favorite from this week's:

"Go buy a personality"

:r

[elderboy02]

I really enjoyed this episode :)

[Powers]

Best episode so far this season I thought :tu

[elderboy02]

Best episode so far this season I thought :tu

I agree. I loved when Chalky and Mr. Pernsley showed up at the singers place and made him sing. Those are 2 scary dudes :tu

you mean Milky? :r

[elderboy02]

you mean Milky? :r

Yeah, that was a great line :r

[newcigarz]

:sleep:

[elderboy02]

Jimmy's mom is still crazy and hot :tu

[Stevez]

Not sure if I'm alone here, but the last 2 episodes have been a bit boring to me. Sure, there were some good scenes, but overall I thought they were boring. It's not that I need a lot of violence every episode, but not much really grabbed me. Except for Jimmy's mom. Agree, she is crazy and very HOT! Steve

[hscmit]

I am hoping the writers are just getting a lot of things in motion so the action can get going again

[irratebass]

So Jillian is back to being psycho and Teddy maybe set the fire, but kept saying a Gypsy........creepy

Any thoughts on who set the fire?

[hscmit]

I think teddy set the fire, I think he saw his mom and slater and I think he will tell nucky

[Powers]

With similar writers and all its no coincidence that they decided to do a whole "boss's driver & boss's wife" love interest thing like they did in Sopranos with Carmela and Furio. Except in Boardwalk they actually get it on :xxx

[elderboy02]

Last night was an extremely boring episode. I am a bit confused, why did Jimmy's mom kill her boy toy?

[icehog3]

Last night was an extremely boring episode. I am a bit confused, why did Jimmy's mom kill her boy toy?

She put Jimmy's dog tags on him, so she can have Jimmy declared dead and take ownership of the house.

It was boring...No naked Billie. :(

[elderboy02]

She put Jimmy's dog tags on him, so she can have Jimmy declared dead and take ownership of the house....

That is what I thought, but I don't see how that will hold up since he will obviously have different finger prints.

[Stevez]

Finger Prints!! We don't need no stinking finger prints.

[icehog3]

That is what I thought, but I don't see how that will hold up since he will obviously have different finger prints.

I think they are "disposing" of him quickly to try and avoid that. Maybe it will come back later to bite them, Dan.

[Powers]

Another slow episode event wise but several good acting moments. I like Eli and glad that he appears to be back in the inner circle

But can this show ever have Capone, Chalky, Richard, Rothstein, Slater & Van Alden in the same episode?? Its frustrating that the writers can't weave everyone together. If we get Chalky, there's no Richard, etc.

[elderboy02]

Hopefully Richard gets to bang the crazy guy's daughter. She is hot! :tu

[irratebass]

Richard is the man! Straight up told that dude he would kill him.

Wow is Jillian wacko! I wasn;t sure what she was going to do to Roger, but wasn't expecting that....wow!

Richard: How are you feeling today?

Jillian: Murderous

NO KIDDING!!!

I liked the interaction between Eli and Nucky...who knew Buscemi could juggle heh.

Rosetti's family is some OOOGLY cows man wow!

I like Tommy too, something about that kid.

I was into this episode for some reason.

[elderboy02]

Wow, that was a great episode. Van Alden went postal!

[icehog3]

Billy!!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[elderboy02]

Tom, I was just about to post on here that we will no longer get nekkid Billy :( :td :( :td :(

[Mikey202]

Wow, that was a great episode. Van Alden went postal!

I was wondering when that was going to happen. His "wife" is one cool lady.

I also was wondering, are we going to get to see Nucky use all those Tommy guns he has? You remember, last season, he traded some to the Irish.

Time to rally all the troops, and unleash Chalky with some Thompsons.:noon

[irratebass]

Finally got to see it last night.

Wow, best not to cross Jillian eh?

Bye Billie.

Van Alden going postal was hilarious to me, and yep his wife rules.

Next weeks preview I seen a glimpse of Chalky

It's war people!!!

[PearlS4]

I was really into this series last year, and was excited for this years new season, but have come away disappointed. It's getting to the point now where they are creating too many random story lines that are never resolved, kind of like making it up as they go since the series is popular so the can drag it out, on and on. The first three episodes this year just opened up more questions. It seems to be taking on the haphazard writing style used on the series "Lost" which was another disappointment of writers pulling things out of their a$$ to continue selling shows.

[icehog3]

Bye Billie.

[Mikey202]

Why doesn't Nucky, get Chalky and his crew, go down to the American Legion Hall, recruit a bunch of disgruntled veterans, (that have combat experiance), arm everyone with machine guns from the Armory, and ambush the delivery site on the beach.
I would have the head of that crazy Italian, delivered in a box, with a bottle of Scotch, to his boss.

Might happen that way!

[Powers]

Really enjoyed this episode! Thought the writing w/the concussion allowed Buscemi to show off his acting more than in most episodes. Plus the meeting of the minds w/all the ward bosses (including Chalky!) and later w/the various East coast mafia dons was what I've thought they needed to do more off.

And it looks like Richard's gonna get him some! That would be an awkward scene of bonin', though ;s

Agree 100%. Really enjoyed this episode and was rather sad when they noted that there are only 3 more episodes. Find myself really looking forward to Sunday's and getting my Boardwalk fix. I think old Nucky's going to open his stash of Tommy guns and get some revenge. I also think he's going to recruit Richard to help.

[irratebass]

Man after that last couple of episodes of The Walking Dead I thought for sure that Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) was a shoe in for the Emmy, but after Steve Buscemi's performance I am torn.

I thought Steve was awesome in this episode, I was laughing my a$$ off, he thought Chalky was a shoeshine boy :lr WOW!

I felt bad for him when all the bosses basically turned their backs on him, but then Arnold spoke up and it was like oh yeah, I remember that.

Richard better tread lightly around Gillian.....ugh

I wish Margaret and that guy would just hurry up and go to Ireland and get it over with, I cannot stand her drama anymore.

Bet you a fiver neither Lincoln nor Buscemi win the Emmy for best leading actor :D

[elderboy02]

Great episode!

Richard.... APOLOGIZE!!!!

Luciano/Lansky teaming up with Masseria

Richard finally getting him some :tu

Chalky going against Nucky?

Gyp crazy as usual :tu

Wish granted

[Gabe215]

Does HBO think it's artsy or something creating a character that people like, (like Jimmy, Angela, now Slater) then killing them off? Who's next Richard and Chalky? Was hesitant about this season to begin with and it's been pretty weak, might have to pass on season 4 unless they hook me in next two episodes!

[icehog3]

Unpredictability is one of the keys to keeping a series fresh. :2

[Mikey202]

Richard breaking out the hardware, to go on the warpath!!! Chalky won't turn on Nucky. Richard and Chalky save the day!!!

I hope Richard and Chalky, go medieval on thier asses!!!!.:gary

[Stevez]

I also think Richard and Chalky will come around and save Nucky. I sure didn't see that ending coming though. And Gip isn't just crazy, he's a f#$#ing pyschopath. While a few episodes have been somewhat slow, all in all, I loved this season so far. My biggest "complaint" would be that they have introduced so many new characters that it's hard to keep some of them straight. That could be just that I'm getting old.

No, it is hard trying to keep up, not as hard as Game Of Thrones, but still.

Wow Gyp is psycho!!!! I can't believe he went that route....wow!

Is it me or is it just hard to understand Stephen Root when he talks?

Well I really hated to see Owen go, now we have to deal with more of Margaret's BS!

Al put a fork into Nelson's face!!!!!! Then gave him the food.

Nuck is really burning bridges......I think his only ally left is Richard right? He pretty much turned his back on Chalky.

[icehog3]

I miss Billie....

[elderboy02]

I miss Billie....

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa73/icehog3/billie.jpg

I do too :(

[irratebass]

I thought Owen's "Other" girl was better looking than Billie

[PearlS4]

I don't miss little rubberface at all. was excited they wrote her out.

[icehog3]

Too each his own, Brother. :)

I don't miss little rubberface at all. was excited they wrote her out.

Great minds think alike. Not sure what that says about yours. ;) :r ;s

[PearlS4]

Billies character just kind of popped up from nowhere, some writers vision of a diversion, nothing was really there.

Nothing? Opinions vary. ;)



http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa73/icehog3/Billie2.png

[PearlS4]

I'm not saying her looks, I'm saying it was like someone wrote the part for her as a favor or if she won a contest, her character was unnecessary to the story.

[icehog3]

We can agree to disagree, James. :)


I miss Billie.

[Mikey202]

Can't wait for the bloodbath next week. Richard looks like he goes Postal, and Al Capone on a water-cooled Browning? For get a 'bout it!!!!!

[icehog3]

Chalky!! :wo

What happened to Nelson?

Hoping to see some shenanignsn from Richard and Al as well.

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa73/icehog3/chalky1.jpg

[elderboy02]

I LOVE the fact that Capone is teaming up with Nucky. I have always loved his character and was getting upset that he wasn't a bigger part of the story. :tu

[hscmit]

really looking forward to next weeks episode
payoff finally coming after a few uneventful weeks

[elderboy02]

Uneventful? How is getting a body shipped in a box to your door step uneventful? ;)

[Mikey202]

I hope Richard goes back to the whorehouse and kills everyone, and the last person is Jimmy's crazy , Mom.

I hope he shoots her in the throat, and gets in her face and says, " I told you, the boy doesn't belong here." Then grabs the kid , and him and his girlfriend live happily ever after, at the beach. :D

[hscmit]

Uneventful? How is getting a body shipped in a box to your door step uneventful? ;)

the last three, not this past one.

[688sonarmen]

I hate to say it but I think Richard is going down in a blaze of glory.

[Gabe215]

Richard will get medieval on everyone, Jake I think you're right but let's hope for happy ending, and Rothstein will get Luciano out and then they'll go after Maseria, and Rosettis men will turn on him especially the dude whose cousin was shovelled to death, my thoughts,

[Powers]

Great episode : tu :tu

Love the line by Capone to end it. Was wondering when they'd have Al take over in Chicago. Think the deal's gonna be Nucky back Al taking over in exchange for his muscle to take out Rosetti

:banger

[irratebass]

Nothing more to add, just a kick azz episode and the 1st 5 mins....mind blown!

Who doesn't love Eddie? He's great and takes such abuse from Nuck, the fact alone that he has been by Nuck's side his entire life almost and Nuck knows squat about it.

[sam a]

Was wondering when they'd have Al take over in Chicago.

i just figured they'd play it out how it did in real life... and torrio would just hand the chicago outfit over to al when he retires. either way next expisode should be sweet.

[Stevez]

Looking forward to tonight's season ending episode. Expecting Capone and Richard to kick some serious ass tonight. I'm gonna hate when this episode is over tonight. Just love this show. Steve

[Powers]

And Chalky!! Can't wait for tonight, gentlemen :tu :tu :banger

[Robulous78]

So I figured with the season coming to a close soon I would download the third season and start watching it... Really excited to have something to catch up on while I am stranded at work... I'll be posting my reactions so you fellas can laugh at me while I go through the ride.... :tu

S3 Episode 1
I wonder how the story will go without Jimmy...?

[Robulous78]

Gotta love when a show starts with a random beating... :tu
Love the music from this show...
Steve Buschemi really owns this character I love how forceful he is with Nucky's mannerisms...
Half Face guy seems like a sleeping bad ass... with Jimmy's death will he take revenge?
Nice of him to look after Jimmy's son...
Ah... Momma Drama... from that crazy bi*ch who would have thought... :r
I have heard about this Billie character on other threads... my first time seeing her... looks like she's going to bring alota cheer...
I love it when people crap on the Van Alden guy...
Handing out gold jewelry on new years...? I wanna be at that party...:tu
I really dislike Jimmy's Mom... the incest think was Damnable as far as I am concerned...
The Rosetti meeting was very well constructed... fantastic actors...
Midget new-year?
LoL - Rosetti gave her the dog...
Another argument with the wifey... Well acted but I want to see some mending there...

HALF FACE BLEW THE LID OFF THAT GUY.... AWESOME!!!!!

Ahh... Now I see why Icehog (Tom) misses Billie... LoL :r

[Mikey202]

Perfect L-shaped ambush by Capone and Chalky.

Richard did not disappoint.

Glad Gyp got his.

[Angry_Pirate]

WOW! How long til season 4?

[icehog3]

Great episode, Nucky back to being Nucky. Chalky and Al teaming up, Gyp sleeps with the fishes. Rothstein has some problems. Richard...well, I just don't know.

Can't wait for next season, gives me a reason to live. ;) :r

Rob, gonna be tough to hang with your reviews of episodes that most of us watched months ago. :)

[elderboy02]

Richard is a total bad ass. Sniping dudes, blowing them away with a 12 gauge, etc.

I wanted to see more Capone.

Liked seeing Gyp finally get his, but I will miss his crazy character.

[Stevez]

What an episode. Already can't wait for the next series. I didn't realize that it would be back in February. Hope that's right. Neither Richard nor Chalky disappointed that's for sure. And Nucky is back. Loved one of his last lines to the guy who killed Gip....if you come back to Atlantic City, I will kill you myself! That and the line about telling the Italian guy (forget his name, but Gip's old boss) that either peace or war, either way he'll oblige. Ballsy for sure. Loved it. Steve

[icehog3]

Nope, I was thinking Walking Dead, Steve, my bad. I don't imagine Boardwalk Empire will be back until late summer at the earliest.

[Powers]

Curious how the Rothstein and Nucky situation will play out. Is Nucky having Rothstein arrested and will then take back Melon's operation?

[icehog3]

Curious how the Rothstein and Nucky situation will play out. Is Nucky having Rothstein arrested and will then take back Melon's operation?

Yes on having Rothstein arrested, that's what he meant by "big bait" afer his phone call to A.R.

Not sure if he will run Melon's operation afterward or not, but sounds plausible.

[irratebass]

Got to see it last night, Holy chit lots of killings in that episode. Best episode of the season (next to the one where Nucky is having memory issues) and it's the season finale.....WOW!

Sorry to see Gyp go,. like someone else said I will miss his craziness.

So is Gillian still alive?

Richard is STILL the man!!!!

I hope Rothstein gets out of being arrested, I really like him and the actor who plays Lucky was AWESOME!

[14holestogie]

So is Gillian still alive?


I'm going to guess no. I think she was injected with the same stuff she used earlier this season on her boy toy. I would guess she had enough in the syringe to kill Gyp, so her being half the size, my guess is gone, gone, gone.

[icehog3]

I will go the opposite direction, I think she lives. The boy toy got enough to be able to drown him w/o a fight, not necessarily kill him on its own. Not sure if she was going to kill Gyp, or put him under and hand him over to Nucky. My guess is she will be back.

There's just no reasoning with a Bears fan. :r
....but, you could be right.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, I wasn't sure if her dose was enough to kill Gyp or not, so that's what I was curious about

[Stevez]

My son and I were talking about that last episode after he watched it last night and he reminded me of the coolest scene. The one where Richard comes on the last guy who held a gun to Jimmy's kid. As he lowered his gun slowly, he told the kid to close his eyes and shot the gansta dude in the head from low down. One of the coolest scenes I've watched in a while.

[688sonarmen]

Unfortunately Gillian does not die according to an interview with one of the writers. Gyp went out in Ceaser fashion being back stabbed by his own guys in the end. Fitting that it was done on the beach.
