HBO's Boardwalk Empire

In the season preview, Richard appears to be contemplating or attempting suicide.
I still want to know who Margaret's pulling a gun on next ep.
ETA: If you really want to get yicky, and we know at least one of them swings both ways...how about Angela and Lucy?

 

Jimmy's been fired.

Well, the actor who plays him, Michael Pitt, has been fired by his agent, UTA. He must be a real ass; you can count on one hand the number of actors from successful series who have been fired by big agencies in the past decade.

Sounds like he might be this generation's Val Kilmer.

Hell of an actor, though.

 

Could have lived without the scalping, wtf, but great episode. In my next life I wanna be Mrs Schroeder.

 

That old bastard had it coming.

 

Wait, wouldn't that be previous life?



You knew that guy was going to get his, but that scalping was nasty.

 

Done

 

Indeed, and I must say that naked Katy was an excellent addition to the show.

 

Terry will bring you all the gratituous, offbeat violence you could ever want.

 

A wonderfully tense episode. I guess the issue of what motivates these men/women to do what they do. Nucky and the Commodore do it for money and power. Jimmy isn't 100% of the way there yet, but he is more compromised than he wants to be. Gillian does it to get back at those who have wronged her. Richard does it for some sort of human connection, which Jimmy and Angela provide.

I loved the scalping killing of the old guy.

 

Is Fredo Corleone the bastard son of Eli Thompson?

 

That actor who plays Eli did a nice job, but the writing last year was so one note in his resentment of Nucky that his turn against him wasn't anything but expected.
