What's wrong with one legged women, Bill? :confused:

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I knew you would say that.

I will be here all za veek, Dan....try the veal. :)

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

What did you all think about the agent's "night out"? That dude is a mental case.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I woulda traded places with him for an hour.

Oh, let the "bitter beer face" bashing begin! :r

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I'm w/ya Tom. It not be becoming of a gentleman to turn a lady away ;)

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

'zactly, Michael. :D :tu

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

As long as she is still a lady :r :r (not talking about Paz de la Huerta).

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

Another great episode tonight. Can't wait for the finale next Sunday

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

Interesting that the Commodore is Jimmy's father... looks like he makes a full recovery.

Cheers,
G

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

This episode was quite slow. I don't want to say it was boring but it definitely was one of the story/filler episodes without much excitement. Jimmys gotta deal with his wife. The agent kills his partner. I hope the last episode is EPIC. We'll see.......

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

One thing I didn't like last night was no nudity ;)

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

Lots of underling drama in this one. I thought Nucky was Jimmys Dad. And yeah kind of a let down about the nudity:D

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I didn't want to be the FIRST person to mention that.

But one thing that sucked last night was there was no TnA.

Also no shootings if I'm not mistaken.

The only death was a boring drowning.....MEH

Wow bummer.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

Jimmy`s mom[Gretchen Moll of Rounders fame]was poisoning his dad,
probably with the help of the maid. Lots of groundwork was laid[although no one got laid yesterday]for the finale and next season. I think the writers are wingin it as they go, pretty much. Promises to be better and better.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

Wait until next week... I'll bet something really bad is going to happen to the Italian brothers. :tu

Cheers,
G

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I really hope the finale is a full 60 minutes of pure bliss. There better be LOTS of bodies.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

some episodes this show is great, others slow

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

This was one of my favorite episodes in this show. Good progression on all the major story lines. Margaret left, no idea where she's gone yet. Jimmy reconnected a little with his dad, and we found out who he was, as well as some additional developments with his mother and wife. The wife just pisses me off. At least Margaret and the mom are presented as strong females, who know what they want and are willing to take risks to get it. Interesting that they choose to present that behaviour in two regular characters who practice one version or another of the oldest profession. The wife is just annoying, blowing whichever way the wind blows, taking the easiest path. Jimmy knows it, the only question is what does he plan to do about it. No Chalky this week, but I think we'll be seeing more of him next week. And Richard, the tin mask guy, is awesome, asking Nucky if he wants the families of those guys killed in Philly. First the mother, then the sisters, then the dentist. Delivery on that line was priceless.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I agree with your post 100%

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I also agree, 100%, the masked man is doing a great job of acting, he even has me spooked.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

Some of the comments here remind me of an old Richard Pryor routine on boxing:

"It wasn't a very good fight....no one got killed".

It's like saying a hockey game can't be a good game unless there are a bunch of fights. I disagree.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

You're correct. Except if the game is boring and no one is scoring, a few good fights will pick things up a bit. Not saying it make or breaks it but it definitely brings up some excitement in a non-exciting game. The game can still suck sure but at least there would be a highlight or two.

In your language say you're smoking a Gurkha, you immediately want to forget about it. But what if 2 draws in you see 5 sluts take off their shirts? Still a bad cigar but hey.....it was an experience with some highlights/excitement, no?

*note I'm referring to attractive sluts with nice knockers, not that you care....but still*

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

You crack me up, Bill! :r

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

:tpd: I thought it was a great episode...

Cheers,

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

This episode really was about showing the dynamics of the characters. It was classic format for one of the last episodes of any drama: leave ya w/a few cliff hangers and have the characters at a crossroads.

I think Nicky's brother has the potential to be a rival or try to oust Nucky, maybe a long term Freddio character as in The Godfather

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I am looking forward to the next episode. Margret leaving was a little unexpected for me, I am curious how it will play out for her.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter

Season Finale Tonight! :ss

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I know, I cant wait brother! It should be good
-(P

"Cause if i had used the shotgun, I would have had to clean the mess up myself" priceless

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

She better burn that damn postcard from Paris

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I've got to admit, very predictable up to this point, and the only good thing about this finale so far is the Cohiba I'm smoking during it-(P

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

Wow that finale really sucked guys, I'm genuinely disappointed right now. By the rest of the season I should'nt have but I did have high hopes for this finale. Oh Well, GREAT COHIBA though-(P

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

2 shotgun deaths, one handgun, one straight razor, pregnant hookers, million dollar deals, illicit backroom plotting, double crosses, philandering postcards, family reunions, intregrated celebrations,......all just setting up season 2.

Yeah, it wasn't the exciting finale, but I guess they know what they're doing.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

If you watch the scene again, it's actually Jimmys boot knife and not a straight razor. But I completely agree it is all setting up season 2.

Shame the finale couldn't be more exciting. The last 2 episodes were kinda MEH.....I really hope they did this to start season 2 off with a huge bang.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I liked the season finale. I love the line that went something like "It isn't Halloween" and then BOOM! That mask guy is going to continue to be a great character.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I hope so to, I believe it will though. If not, I can honestly say if the season goes the same as this one did, I wont be as a dedicated viewer as I was this season.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

can someone tell me who Luciano was shooting at the end there (it was a delivery truck full of booze)? was this important or just filler?

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I don't know man, I was wondering the same. It was almost like it was a deal going wrong, but I was'nt for sure.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I liked the finale! I think season 1 of the Sopranos is very comparable, that wasn't a mind blowing season either, but a solid one that set up things to come. I think HBO knows they've got the next big there w/Boardwalk and are setting it up for the long-haul

Tying in Harding's "Return to Normalcy" speech w/Margaret and Nucky getting back together was brilliant. My favorite line of the night though: "Woodrow Wilson, that Southern son of a b*tch" :r

And I couldn't figure out who Lucky whacked either, I think it was a Dalesio brother?

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

That's what I thought.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I would be shocked if a Dalesio brother was out doing casual business with Luciano after 4 of his brothers just got whacked....documented in the newspapers and all.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

You are right as ususal Admiral! From IMDB:

In a closing montage while Eddie Cantor sings for the celebratory crowd, we see Van Alden sitting alone and tearing up. We see Eli, the Commodore and Jimmy plotting something while Gillian quietly sips a drink. Lansky and Luciano pull another whiskey heist, with Lucky shooting a kid who'd just taken payment from Lansky for a truckload of liquor. Nan sits alone and puts on the ring she found in the cake, smiling dreamily. Rothstein sighs as he talks on the phone, and Eddie counts stacks of cash. Angela sits at home in an empty dining room.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

You know, everybody was saying how they didn't like the finale...but I really enjoyed it. We saw a lot of character development from the first episode to the finale, and I think the finale really was a nice chapter end to a lot of journeys the different characters were taking. And yes, as people have said, I think they've set themselves up for a GREAT second season and possibly more.

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

If only I could be right about fantasy hockey line-ups, Steve! :r

Re: "Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter
 

I finally watched the finale yesterday and was not disappointing in the least. One thing I have found about some of my favorite shows is that the finale's are often nothing spectacular, but they set the plot and characters up for season 2. That is exactly what happened here and I think season 2 is going to be spectacular.
