    Yeah, I think she might be my favorite chick on the show. Although I do kinda like Nucky's girl too.

    actually watching it last night i realized it might not be too far fetched. she's probably supposed to be mid 30's in the show. jimmy has got to be no older than 20. he just got back serving a couple years in the war. people had kids much earlier in those days. she could have easily had him at 15 or 16. i think it makes sense....though, i don't believe they had breast implants in those days. :)

    i liked last night's show. i can see how people might be frustrated at it's pace thus far though. it looks like it will pick up next week. the thing people need to realize is it's not mindless tv like most of the other drivvle that is out there. this show requires you to pay attention and think because there are multiple storylines going on (probably a couple too many, admittedly). watching nucky schmooze the senator about the roads $$ was pretty interesting. "is that lemonade in your glass, senator?" :lol:

    I really liked the last episode and am enjoying the pace at which its going.

    "Too slow"? What exactly do you want? I think it's almost perfect! In fact, I think its getting better and better as the weeks go on.


    I too was a little confused with the stripper-mom, but it seems very possible. She easily could have had her kid in her teens (while stereotyping...she seems like the "type" ;) ). You have to figure her son is around 20, that would make her mid-30s. That's not really a stretch.

    Agree.
    And I also liked that scene with the senator! I know there were posts about Steve Buchemi not being casted right for Nucky. The more I watch this show the more convinced he's damn near perfect for the role.

    Yep, theres definitely a lot going on with multiple storylines. It kinda reminds me of "The Wire" with that.

    I'm not a fan of nucky's gf

    I actually like Jimmy's mom more and the irish girl more as well.

    agreed....nucky's girl has an awesome body though. that scene with her having the irish chick dress her was pretty awesome. not a fan of the dumb faces she makes and her voice is atrocious too...

    Definitely a great body, but her voice makes me cringe.

    i'm all in. that was one of the best written episodes of any show i've seen a while. lot of layers. i'm really liking the dynamic with nucky and his bro....

    also...it's apparently a hit:

    Elsewhere on Sunday, HBO's Boardwalk Empire appears to have stabilized: After debuting to 4.8 million viewers last month, the show fell all the way to 2.6 million viewers a week ago. This Sunday, however, it upticked to 2.9 million. What's more, when you count same-week repeats and DVR viewership, the first three weeks of Empire are averaging more than 12 million viewers, making the show a clear-cut hit.
