Boardwalk Empire Season 5 Thread

It wasn't them though. Hymie Weiss is the same actor who played meadows boyfriend on the sopranos. He's been in a bunch of scenes and he was not at the Torrio hit.

Bugs Moran shot Torrio...Hymie Weiss and Moran were apart of the same crew...and no Hymie wasn't there for the hit on the show but in real life it was Hymie, Drucci and Moran there for the Torrio hit

And Moran ran outta bullets before he could finish off Torrio just like it happened in real life

Never been proven but it's a theory/rumor/urban Legend. I saw a doc on it. Pretty interesting stuff that had me

you got a link or remember the name of the doc? No matter how degenerative the coli is I still learn new things at least once a week

Yeah, man. We know that in real life the standard narrative is that Weiss and Moran shot Torrio in retaliation for the Obanion hit. We are discussing about how on the show Boardwalk Empire an alternative narrative is strongly implied.

Yea but why have the guy run out of bullets like Moran in real life if it was really a Capone hitman?

I see what y'all saying but I think the show stuck to history right there...they just added the Capone/Torrio tension and the suspicion to add more drama to that situation

had no idea that was Finn Detrolio

Anyone think Eli is planning an even bigger robbery. I felt like his eye lingered on Capone's mountain of cash a little long.

There's doc on youtube but I can't find the one I saw which was way better and newer. It basically a number of things that linked the mob to Kennedy assignation. It invloves Robert Kennedy betraying the mob, Cuba, Fidel Castrow, the CIA and Sam Giancana sharing a mistress with JFK

I'm just spitballing here, but is it possible Narcisse is the Dr. Cotton that head nurse mentioned? I could see him taking his need to control and dominate women to the next level and getting into the sanitarium game. It is also allows him back in the story when Gillian starts snitching. Also, the name kind of makes sense for that Narcisse=harlem=cotton club.

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

speaking of Bugs Moran we all thought he would be in this season, we were all looking forward to Capone vs Moran

man fukk this time jump

 

[Makavalli]

Gillian got them eraser nipples:hulkbanderas:

I thought gillian was about to eat ol boss bytch's box there for a min

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

I thought for sure there would be gifs of that tub scene this morning

nikkas' slippin.

 

[killacal]

Hold up hold up. JFK got killed cuz of his relations with the mob and not cuz of the Federal Reserve?


I don't think we're gonna get a better quote all season

Mob aint killing no president it was always about the federal reserve those lansky kike types are something else

 

[the cac mamba]

as far as quality/disappointment, i feel like this is gonna exactly mirror season 5 of the wire

lotta shyt can happen tho

 

[TheGodling]

WHY MUST IT ALWAYS BE PANDEMONIUM!!!

That line had me dying. Van Alden never seizes to be awesome.

 

[K-Deini]
