Man, Boardwalk Empire is brutal!

1. Ain't it the truth!

I kept wincing and waiting for the next carving or burning or exploding...sheesh!

[graywarrior]

3. That meat locker scene totally freaked me out

[siligut]

2. ****Spoiler*****

I was just so relieved that Lucy knew what to do giving birth. The way she looked when she heard the crying gave me doubts. I was so glad to see her holding the baby. If I were Van Alden, I think I would have had a stroke when I saw Rose in that room with Lucy.

4. Van Alden is weirder than weird.

[siligut]

5. Michael Shannon plays him perfectly too

He is so askew, I couldn't believe he held it together when he saw his wife with Lucy.

[graywarrior]

7. I can't find an emotion to feel about him

He creeps me out, he's pitiful and unlikable....but I like him.

[siligut]

10. I know exactly what you mean

And somehow he is still likable.

6. I finally finished the first season the other day, I'm about to start the second.

Amazing show but yes it is quite brutal.

[graywarrior]

8. This season's is way over the top in a good way

The character development is awesome. I love the guy with the mask.

[siligut]

11. The actor is Angelica Huston's nephew

I like him too. A tear came to my eye when he was looking at his scrapbook. I love that the dog saved him, that was beautiful.

[graywarrior]

12. I didn't know that!

He's a good actor.

9. What are you talking about???

:shrug:

Were you playing Monopoly and got skunked??

[RebelOne]

13. Same question here. Is it a game or a TV series? n/t

[graywarrior]

14. It's an HBO series

and it's filled with violence and gore, but I can't not watch it.

[RebelOne]

17. I can't watch it because I don't have HBO, and that is a good thing,

because I might want to see it despite it being filled with violence and gore.

[graywarrior]

21. Rent it.

I can't believe I got into it as much as I have. Plus having Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt starring makes it all the more interesting.

[madinmaryland]

18. I don't have HBO (or shall I say I refuse to pay a boatload of money for that channel).

The movie selection is crap, and the only show I might be interested in seeing is Bill Maher's show. Now if they had some pron...

:evilgrin:

[trof]

19. Try hulu.

Might be on there.

[graywarrior]

22. I get it with the package I have for nothing

Otherwise, I wouldn't pay for it.

15. The scalping scene last week was brilliant.

[AngryOldDem]

16. So were the scenes with Eli and Nucky, and Eli and George.

I found the fight very hard to watch, not because of the physicality, but because of the true emotion that drove it. It was literally like standing by helpless as your own kin beat the shit out of each other -- it was that believable. And the exchange between Nucky and Margaret afterward told a lot about Nucky's character, too. And Eli's animal rage that built up and exploded was stunning -- being robbed, fighting with Nucky, realizing he's in way over his head -- George just should have kept his mouth shut and backed slowly out of the garage.

Eli is so complex and nuanced. You can tell he's just about had it with Nucky's low opinion of him. He may not be the sharpest man around, but he ain't stupid, either.

I didn't particularly care for the scalping scene -- sometimes I think it's better to leave something to the imagination, and this was one of those times. They could have just focused on the old man's hands and the wheelchair and I think it would have been just as powerful.

[graywarrior]

24. Yeah, that fight scene was too real

[graywarrior]

23. totally unexpected

[trof]

20. Hi. Where ya been?
