HBO's Boardwalk Empire

So far this season has been pretty good.

 

I think it has been outstading this year. I like the Chalky storyline a lot.

 

Angela sketching Richard's portrait...incredible scene right up there with "I 'aint buildin' no bookcase" and "Perhaps your cunny isn't the draw you thought it was." But this season, we've seen men punching out a waiter and tossing a plate of lobster thermidor get ladies hot and bothered...why not a disfigured man taking off his iron mask?

 

I think the idea there is that Richard told Angela a more intimate story than she's ever gotten from her husband.

 

The incapacitated commodore getting bitchslapped by his (13 at the time of conception) baby mama...priceless.
If Nucky ends up with a team of Jimmy, Richard and Owen, he just can't lose.

 

So how yicky are they going to get with Jimmy and Gillian? Because it's pretty uncomfortable right now.

I think that Richard is going to die soon -- he's had his awesome moment and not sure what else they can do with him.

 

It'll probably take most of the season to return the Commodore to anything near health.

Too bad -- he was becoming a more and more fun character.

I didn't really recognize Dabney Coleman at first last season, through most of the poisoning storyline, but he was definitely looking (and acting) a lot like a 25-year-older Franklin Hart in this season's episodes.


Somewhat off topic, but "Hung" is kinda fun this season.

Including the episode titles and/or subtitles: this week's was "Ease Up On the Whup-Ass."


The dipshit dork-ass kids have been rarely seen (a huge improvement).

 

I am totally grossed out by Jimmy and his mother. That woman has some issues. But I love the Irish guy who made the bomb. Is that Owen? With Owen, Jimmy, Chalky and Richard, Nucky will be bad-ass.

 

Yeah, the whole "kissed his little winky" thing is pretty hosed.

 

Yeah MITN, Owen is the new Irish guy. He's so gonna nail that cute young maid.

 

Or Mrs. Nucky?

 

He'll nail the maid, who will get fired. Then Margaret.
