PuroresuFan Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Finally caught up on my DVR from the weekend. Man, after what happened to Eddie, if I saw Brian Geraghty out on the street, I'd give him the stinkeye like a mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Have been having trouble getting into this season, but this episode was great (shows how blah I've been about the whole thing, the next episode airs tomorrow). Loved the Passion of the Eddie, but was caught off guard by his leap at the end. For sure thought he was going to work with the Feds, but I guess even knowing how little Nucky actually cares about him, he has too much honour to do that. Weird plus: I love the pile of chairs in the room they were interrogating him in, such great set design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've really enjoyed this season. A lot of my favorite background characters have been getting big pushes this year and there hasn't been any Margaret Schroeder and family to bore me.

I like this show fine, but I love the wardrobe and set design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The line was tremendous. I'm glad to see Margaret Schroeder is still every bit as boring as usual. Thank goodness she was only in that one short scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Oh man, I didn't catch the significance of that line either. Thanx for pointing that out. We got two really great, tense/violent sex scenes in this one, both prefaced by great moments: Patricia Arquette duking it out with Nucky before reprising the phone booth scene from True Romance, and Michael K. Williams delivering the absolutely hateful line "He's just a nigga with a dictionary." Even though it came from a character who can't read, that was vicious.

supremebve Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't know if there has ever been a more accurate example of black on black skin tone/upper to lower class/educated to uneducated/real to cornball dynamics on TV than what has happened on this show with Chalky. Chalky who is a compeltely self made man is constantly treated like he is less "worthy" than everyone else he is around. Whether it is Narcisse talking to him like he is a servant to his fucking family not making hopping john when he got released from jail, that man can't get any respect. Even fucking Dunn who never had shit until Chalky gave it to him is willing to turn his back on him. I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed, it clearly isn't an accident how it has all played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Chalky White is the fucking man. All season long he has been on the losing end of Narcisse's games, but last night we learned that Chalky didn't get his power by accident. Narcisse can play all his race hustling games, but when it comes to going into the streets and getting shit done, Chalky has him beatl. With that said, I'm sad to see Dunn go. Has anyone ever played disingenuous better than Eric LaRay Harvey? That smile with that gold tooth just made him so fucking loathsome. How did Nucky get so much power when he is so obviously a simp. Everyone has the friend who fell in love with somebody who is not his girl. Nothing good can come from trying to put handcuffs on some woman who doesn't want to be in a relationship with you. That woman is going to take him for everything she possibly can, and he is too stupid to see that he is getting played. The crazy thing is, she is clearly trying to warn him against going down this road, but now she realizes that she would be dumb not to take advantage of this situation. To paraphrase the great Clay Davis, "She'll take anybody's money if they're just giving it away." The way this episode was shot was insanely beautiful. The opening with Dunn walking up to the traphouse, Chalky's and his crew burning the heroin, and the cuts leading up to the Dunn/Chalky fight all stood out as fantastic directing.

stiffshots Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I gotta admit, at the end of the ep the words running through my mind were Chalky's, from Season 2: "Purnsley be done." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Chalky's knife going into Dunn's mouth and out his cheek might be the nastiest thing they've done. Sooooo foul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 It wasn't his knife, it was a wood splinter! I'll come back to this thread when I get to watch the whole thing cause I only caught the last 15 minutes last night. Looks to be a bang-up episode.

Curt McGirt Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 This might be the best episode of Boardwalk ever. There are moments where you can hear a pin drop. Multiple storylines tying together. Abrupt, sudden violence. Two incredibly beautiful women working behind the scenes and stealing the show. Michael K. Williams and Erik LaRay Harvey absolutely killing it (literally and figuratively). The image of Chalky banging the trashcan lid is so stellar, and you just want the fork to go into the eye of the federale so bad. DAMN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 If you're sleeping on this episode you need to get your head checked, I'm watching it again and it's easily top ten of the entire series. Shea Whigham's Eli really needs a shout-out along with everybody else. His internal conflict with his son and the reaction he had to scumbag Agent Knox was so intense, even if he didn't pick up the fork the look of utter impotent rage in his eyes was something else. It looked like his head was going to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimoDANK Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 One complaint is Agent Knox. At first I didn't have a problem with his acting but the more screen time he gets the worse his acting is becoming. Maybe it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I think he just comes off like a complete psycho, barely able to interact in a normal way with anyone. Go back to the first episode with him drinking over the guy's corpse. Dude is a sociopath at best and a maniac at worst. It's like him and Van Alden switched minds or something.

elizium Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I really like Knox, he's probably been my favourite part of this season. Such a different kind of villain than Gyp was. And I concur with everyone above, the last ep was damned good. It took awhile, but this season is starting to hook me in. We need a whole lot less Willie and a whole lot more Clayton, although that is definitely a pipe dream at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
