Boardwalk Empire Season 5 Thread

another thing. fukking margaret schroeder

been wanting her dead since season 1. I wish they would have gave her the boot.

in the 7 years that have passed since season 4, rothstein got murdered. they really didn't even discuss that.

Eh, people would've felt this way if the show went 15 seasons.

This show could have easily went 10 seasons though because they have the material/history to go off of. It's not like other shows where they have to come up with storylines from scratch. This show found it's stride in Season 4 and now they jumped 7 years to end it and I'm worried already.

That premier had me just waiting til it was over to see how The Leftovers wrapped up

Its only 7eps left, it aint gettin no better. It's going to be rushed. They shoulda did Nucky's back story in season 1. AR just gone. They ruined a show that had so much promise

see my last post. AR got murdered in 1928. the year on the show is 1931.

lucky is the one who set up the NYC mafia to be 5 seperate families. he'll be the most powerful mobster of all.

THE COMMISSION!!!

Maranzano created the five families.....Luciano kept that structure but got rid of the "one-boss" title after he had all the old world niccas killed

It was an OK ep.....but I'm more interested in Chicago than anything in Nucky's past. I want Capone and Nelson.....mostly so we get to see Graham and Shannon

Well you might want to stop watching i doubt it's going to be much.Nucky always been the main character and they just trying to finish this shyt.


As far as this episode.I actually thought was one of the most well put together episodes they've ever done.They gave us a alot in a hour.

It would've been nice to see Maranzano & Masseria in a scene together popping off at each other or discussing their beef...then later on show who Lucky decided to side with...I think it would have been better for viewers who don't know who Maranzano is and not familiar with the Castellammarese war..also it would have gave Maranzano a proper introduction and the meeting when he became boss of all bosses would have hit harder

Instead he just popped up outta nowhere at the meeting and I'm sure viewers who are unfamiliar were prolly like "who the fukk is he" and "how did he get so powerful"

That's the problem with that time jump...should have atleast gave us one episode in 1928 giving us the Castellammarese war and AR gettin bodied then jumped 3 years into Cuba...this season should have been 12 episodes

Ijs

Not even close.

Just because "they gave us a lot" doesn't mean it was good let alone one of the best. The pacing was bad, they go from flashback, to violence, to flashback, to violence... and this is after a 7 year jump where a lot of stuff happened that we won't see on screen. The flashbacks came off as forced to me, because like you said, they're trying to finish shyt up

The flashbacks were dope though.At first i was like what is this? But it ended up being pretty good.It didn't drag to me like i thought it might.I legit felt bad for Nucky going through that shyt with his sister being sick and his dad. And his mom giving him that paper to look at hiding it from his Dad.

Felt like they were Mad Men inspired, but the difference is Mad Men has been doing the Don flashbacks for multiple seasons now... it was just odd to have them NOW in Boardwalk IMO.

I know they jumped over it. I hate how they did that. He was my favorite character.

And we already know Nucky aint fukkin with Murder Inc. Shoulda had a spin off or something.

And why was Chalky locked up?

 

[Blankthawtz]

fukk that...i DEMAND a spinoff for this show...they HAVE to give us detailed storyline and seasons for Luciano and Capone....protest HBO....

 

[Lefty Gunz]

The episode was

I think Masseria's death could have been better and more significant had we had 1/2 year build up to it by displaying The Castellammarese War

Yea but, he had to kill Merranzano first. Lucky wanted The Commission to be like the Roman Senate whereas Merranzano wanted it to be a Dictatorship, with him being the boss of all bosses. They whacked his azz so fukkin quick
