great episode...I think it's awesome tonight's show had such ballsy ladies!

while the scene with Margaret and Nucky was rather slow...Nucky saying to her 'I'd never put anything alive in a box' ...awkward


I've read some reviews on this episode and saw quite a few men saying it was boring because it didn't show any murders. it's kinda strange to see peeps (women too) being so inane and insecure...tho I suppose that shouldn't come as any surprise


guess changing affiliations, alligator fights and crazy hate fucking isn't exciting enough for some...

Good to see Maragret back.

Pretty dumb of Eli to confide in the FBI agent and allow him inside info to re-open the case against Nucky.

Glad Richard Harrow has reappeared in AC.
He has changed his ways? Or has he ?

Large emphasis on Chalky White also.
( * weird having a character named Daughter )
Wonder how his involvement with Daughter will lead him to Dr. Narcisse,
or was that the whole idea?

Sally- " I hate a goddamned whiner " .

i am thinking that line about putting something alive in a box was a reminder of owen, who as we know, was found dead in a box. that was what seemed very awkward to me. it was nice to get some info on eddie and what he meant to nucky.

Alot of hype over a 2 minute appearance.
Shouldve been billed as a cameo .

Agree that I think Eli is digging his own grave and will wind up in jail ( again ) .

good episode.. wonder what they're going to do with Margaret this season.

just read this on another board:

Chalky getting his Nuck off and Nucky getting his Chalk off

that they featured van alden so prominently in the scence where frank capone was killed....i wasn't expecting to see that :shock:

Italian mobster, in a great suit, killed in a trap at daylight by a milion of bullets in front of a car? That scene made me remember Sonny's death, son of Don Corleone at the toll!

That scene with Sonny was filmed out near Jones Beach .

Oh, and I also noticed that in the S04E05, when showing Eddie's room, there were a paper of FranZ Schubert.
Any clue of what instrument he played?! :P
Or it is another Schubert? hahahah

I got curious about it.

Bathgate66

sure it was good to see purnsley finally get dunn in

however, it's not cool you posted this spoiler before it aired in the rest of the country and elsewhere. :nono: it was rude when all you had to do was put a "Spoiler Alert"" at the top of the post. next time have some consideration for those yet to watch B.E. in the later time zones

Bathgate66

Apologies to everyone who might've looked at the Boardwalk Empire thread
just before watching the show in your time zone(s).


Anyhow, loved the episode even more after the 2nd viewing.

Aside from the enigma that Sally Wheet is as a whole,
how the fuck does she just blow into town,
and with Mickey Doyle? :fp:
Loved Nucky cracking him in the noggin with Eddies cane.

Agent Knox and Eli are getting real tense now.
No doubt this will be a carryover until next ( 5th) season.

And for the life of me I cannot figure out the dynamic between Narcisse and Daughter.
( Is it exactly that as in a father/daughter relationship, or is there something more creepy and sinister ? )
Whatever the case it appears their bond is not as strong as Narcisse believes, which was good to see. I was pulling for Chalky all the way in that one.


Looks like the florist in Chicago gets whacked next week ? ,
and Van Alden has something to do with it !

I don't see Sally as enigmatic. on the contrary she's free-spirited, independent and smart....while perhaps not many women were traditionally like her in the 20's, her character is refreshing. she didn't come to town with mickey (he was already there.) notice she was laughing at him, not with him. at the bar she only pretended she was gonna hook up with Mickey in order to get Nucky's reaction. props to her for being a ballsy gal when she told Nucky she she expected $ in return for protecting his rum shipment

it was fucking awesome when Nucky took Eddie's cane from Mickey to hit him upside the head with it.

I though the end scene of last week's episode spelled out the dynamic between Daughter and Dr. Narcisse-ist quite well. he killed her prostitute mother after she threw lye on him for getting too rough, then he took Daughter and raised her. he has her twisted into believing he's saved her from a similar fate, so she owes it to him to fulfill his ego demands. all that 'worship me...now, go sing for me' stuff was sinister and creepy as hell. he's obviously a psychopath with a major messiah complex... :twisted:

damn, I really hope Narcisse doesn't discover that she's in love with Chalky and she stabbed Dunn in order to save him...if he does the psycho will take out some horrible revenge on her

it oughta be interesting to see next week how they work Van Alden into the story about offing Dean O'Banion...he was a real-life mob rival of Torrio and Capone.

I was under the impression this thread was full of spoilers?

If you havent seen the latest episode, I suggest staying away from the thread the night of/day after episode airs.

davidtrios

this is getting good, i have a feeling eli's song gets killed.

actually peeps in this thread have been generally really good about not posting spoilers before it's aired in all the time zones. i'm on the left coast and I wait until it's over in at least Alaska time before posting anything

it makes sense to stay away from the thread if someone dvr's or does on-demand to watch later or another day. still it's on the poster to use some restraint to not spoil the plot or at least alert peeps where it hasn't yet initially aired. sure using common courtesy and grasping there are other time zones are strange concepts for some east coasters...still it's not cool :P

I am from Brazil and the subtitles just got ready today, 4 days after the episode was released. But as I saw that there were a new post here, I came to the last page to see it, thinking that the new reply was about S04E07 that we were talking about, and also read the "spoiler" for S04E08! Quickly I stopped reading the post and the rest of the thread but it was aldready too late and read that Mr. Purnsly got killed.
Is it a good idea for us to put a code in the beginning of our replies here?! hahahaha
Maybe start the post with the episode you're commenting, or just a "spoiler alert". Well, just a thought, beacause I'll now always come back here 'coz I dont have friends in RL that watches B.E., so I have no one to chat about... hahahah

S04E08 - The Old Ship of Zion
Man, I got impressed with the beatiful scene in the church, where the camera is closed in Chalky obssessed with Daughter's singing and it moves slowly and reaveals his wife paying attentiion to him, then a tear drops in her cheeks! Wonderful take! *__* This serie has a fucking awesome director!!!

I bet that Doc. Narcisse will find out that Daughter saved Chalky and she'll get killed, unfourtunatelly. (P.S.: Oh, how we woman are easy: just see a man crying in front of us to fall in love - since 20's! hahahahah)
And I will be surprised in the future if Eli did NOT nodded to the fed, 'coz everything lead us to believe the opposite.
What's ecxatly the agreement between Nucky and William?! I think I missed this part; don't remember this conversation explicit in other episode.

I'm curious about the next episode to find out what's gonna happen between Margaret and A.R.!

I need some advice. I'm half way through season 3 and I'm wondering if I can just skip the rest and start up again at season 5.

Thoughts?
