Boardwalk Empire, I thought we were good.
I thought we were getting somewhere.
Maybe I didn’t give you enough time to sort yourself out.
But then you go and you do something like this and I just …
I just don’t know that I can do this anymore.
It hurts me,Boardwalk, it really does.
More than you know.
I mean, we’ve been through some real stuff, you and I. I saw it coming, I’ll admit.
But I didn’t know it would go down like it did.
Obviously, last things first.
And the fact that Nucky could smell what was happening before the lid was fully off?
Come on, throw us a bone here.
Can’t we have anyone likable on the show survive?
Damn my eyes and these tears.
It was the natural culmination to the dream life he sees with Julia and Tommy.
At least I hope so.
Unless Gyp slaughters Tommy and Julia next week, which I wouldn’t even doubt at this point.
I mused aloud with my friend Martha, “will they poison him?
Smother him in the night?
Or just shoot him?
Gaston did creep up on Jess but, surprise!
Jess was waiting with a gun.
Jess kills himself and Gaston looks on with disgust.
The scene by the beach was a great example, again, of how excessively gruesome things have gotten.
Many will die terrible deaths.
But do we need to actually hear the sound effects of a shovel being repeatedly beaten against a skull?
That’s not something that will leave me any time soon.
I could have done without hearing that in my life,Boardwalk.
It’s disgusting, it’s unnecessary, and you should be better than that.
When your story is in doubt kill some people and fuck some corpses up I guess.
It doesn’t bode well.
Unfortunate, I was starting to really like where that was going.
I appreciated the nun acknowledging how helpful it had been, though.
– So now Nucky knows about Owen and Margaret (I guess) …
I don’t know where that’s going to go, though.
He doesn’t really have the moral high ground.
– “What’s the difference between an Italian and a catfish?
One is a filthy scum-sucking bottom-feeder, the other is a fish.”
– I think Katie will come back as a very loose canon to haunt Nucky and Margaret.
– It looks like in the preview for next week that Nucky tries to reconcile with Chalky.
It is at his own peril that he be so dismissive with him.
Seriously, like he can afford any more enemies?
– “Jess may say anything to anyone about everything.
It’s the nature of hysteria.”
- Gaston
– Whiskey in the water … opening credits callback.
– In useless news, I learned the other day that “race car” is also a palindrome.
– “Why do they keep killing off the young, good-looking ones?
Who the hell are we supposed to look at now??”
