Boardwalk Empire Season 4

[sonatine]

So far so good. Very into the accent on photography. Great ties too.

Give zero point zero fucks about the plot.

Ties are really awesome this season tho. Not sure if I made that clear.

[4Dragons]

I gave up on Mad Men mid season, is this show watchable? I mean, for the ties, of course.

[sonatine]

ties are fabbo.

its rough tho because steve buschemi is mysteriously looking younger as the series progresses. so you gotta work really hard to ignore that and concentrate on the gorgeous ties.

[JimmyG_415]

The fact that they brought in the guy who had to flip a coin for his life w/Javier Bardem in No Country gets them a + 1.

[sonatine]

Tonights neckware was pedantic and lackluster.

[sonatine]

Not unlike your mothers.

Rothstein: I raise 200000, Im all in.
Nucki: I call. Queen high flush.
Rothstein: I thought you had a straight. Fold.



Someone explain to me what Rothstein had that beat a straight but lost to a queen high flush? A jack high flush? Did he think put Nucki on a straight and think he could push him off it?


God I love nonsensical TV poker.

yeah ive seen this before tho, some games arent table stakes and allow reloading mid-hand.

the cincinatti kid for example has the same thing take place.

[WillieMcFML]

it was a pretty bad call, but to be fair plol told me rothstein could still probably make $100k+ playing 5/10 live once or twice a week

Had the same conversation this afternoon. Made zero sense unless he tables a smaller flush.

[RichardBrodiesCombover.]

Aww man. And he had just became a made nigga.

[JimmyG_415]

Of all the things Nucky has done, this week has to be the lowest.

I get that his nephew comes first, but WTF???
THEN, when his nephew's roommate comes into the room, Nucky goes out of his way to be nice to the guy.
That turned my stomach it is so scummy.

[JimmyG_415]

So is no one else watching this?
This season started slow, but last week was great, and this past week was the most suspenseful TV I've watched in a long time.
Great lead up to the finale

They had the full on homage to OMAR, talking "corner boys", Baltimore, and that last scene was some serious Omar De Ja Vu.
I hope he makes it to season 5. Louis Gosset Jr was fucking great.

Did you get the thing with Roy? Can someone tell me exactly what happened with the old man wit the gray beard and Gillian? Also Harrow is still a badass fucker. What does he actually know about Jimmy's mom?

Questions...

I pretty much called the Roy thing after the random meeting in the cafe with the friends of the boy (who gillian killed) showing up and asking about him. Verified a few eps later when they show Roy on the phone. Grey beard was the lawyer for the Commodore (old man who knocked up Gillian at 13 with the seed of Jimmy, Jimmy eventually kills him season 2)

[gut]

This finale should be amazing. Possibly the best season yet, or at least right there with season 2, depending on how this ends. Here's my lines I would set on odds of biting the bullet this Sunday:

 

Black Singer chick +150
Eli +200
FBI agent Knox +200
William, Eli's son +450 (Only if Eli survives, I feel like 1 of the 2 will go, but not both)
Narcisse +500
Chalky +600
Patricia Arquette +750
Harrow +1200
Van Alden +1500

With O'bannion already killed this season, none of the other characters playing real people should die. My guesses are my first 3 I listed on there. Eli would be the big one, but he seems to have run his course as a character. I have a feeling the Narcisse/Chalky feud will continue for another season. The Chalky and Harrow characters are both so popular and still somewhat being explored, so I would be surprised to see them die.

as a bonus, Mickey Doyle +800. Probably won't even be in the episode at all, but I can't stand that character and am surprised he is somehow still alive.

Title of the finale is "Farewell daddy Blues" by the way....

I guess we will talk in spoilers so Barry doesn't have a fit if he decides he wants to watch it w/in the next 10 years. J/k

 

So you think the kid that went up to her in the restaurant wasn't random?
I thought Roy was that dude's brother or something, I didn't see the detective thing.
I did know that him killing that guy was staged.
Uncle June being behind the whole thing makes me think that was a random thing.

I'll take Eli, he has to go this time, he already is alive instead of Jimmy, when it was Eli that pushed Jimmy over the edge as far as killing Nucky.

well, I figured going into the season that Gillian's character had run its course as well, so there had to be something fishy with Roy. After that cafe scene, I figured he was a detective, but hired by the boys family perhaps. The kid was from the midwest, and Roy mentioned that he was as well. Now knowing who did hire Roy, I still don't think it was random. I'm sure ole greybeard was privy to any local police reports, such as a GI gone missing in AC after hanging out with a lady. I just think they didn't explore that angle on-air for us, because it was a rather small plotline to the overall show.
