Oh shit. Good call. Plus there's a second good character on Homeland named Mandy, so that's like 1.5 for the show.Dat_Triflin_Ass_Dude wrote:

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
If we're talking about likable women in drama's, they are few and far between. I don't hate the brown haired girl from "newsroom" and , While others i know do despise her, I also don't hate the blonde girl either.
But, let's be honest, women based plot lines tend to be shitty cause they're usually the boring part of the show put there to strike a balance between the action and making the show watchable for women.

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
this is probably a wash and continuing the hijacking of this thread but- peggy olson's story lines on mad men have been solid (but betty's are usually terrible). megan's haven't been that bad though. just throwin mad men into the mix/discussion.
proceed...

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
every female character on a prestige drama (except homeland and peggy/joan on mad men) is written as a shrew, and that's because TV writers are all angry dorks.
btw pretty sure Margret is the grandmother of this character

And not that I think the Margaret Schroeder storyline is the best going right now, but have you motherfuckers EVER liked a female-centric storyline in a drama? Between Margaret, Skylar, Marie, Deb, Rita, Laguerta, etc., etc. you fuckers just aren't that interested in women. I mean save for Kima Greggs and Snoop basically playing lesbian guys who happen to be women, I can't think of anyone who gets much of a pass.
every female's story line in GoT is awesome. Aside from Lady Stark who is just kind of a frustrating cunt now. But even her development with the new Dolph Lundgren bitch will be tight. Point being is - it's unnecessary. Jake and the Fatman didn't need a female-centric story line. This last episode was trash too. Glad somebody said it before me this time though, so you can't just chalk it up to me being a faggot lol. What an AMAZING cliffhanger that was tho! OMG!!!! LET'S REHASH SOME SHIT THAT ALREADY HAPPENED AND REVISIT IT! Groundbreaking...as far as other female story lines in the show - you have a gorgeous psychotic whore house running bitch who fucks gangsters and her own son and then when that's not an option, she fucks dudes who look like her son and even calls them by his name. If you need some female fill-in - that should be the go to, not little miss pouts a lot. Every side plot associated with that bitch is terrible. Now there's this whole pyro maniac retard son shit. If I want to stare at retards all day, I can always go hang out at the bowling alley; they take regular field trips there. I'm good on the political/court room shit too. I should really just become a writer. Killing and fucking 24/7. The way AMERICAN GOD wants it.

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
i find this show riveting, am loving this season's direction and thoroughly enjoy margaret and jimmys mom as characters. the prosecutor is strong as well, glad to see her back. i also appreciate the foreign broad with the former prohe.
Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
speaking of the former prohe and the foreign broad...... how are they not gonna show any of the aftermath of the murder in the episode that followed it?
I'm a huge boardwalk fan, but sometimes, just like GOT, the show suffers from spreading itself thin with having so many characters, some better/more interesting than others. while you can argue that margaret and julian are well acted and written characters, their screen time is typically much more boring (imho) than scenes with capone, richard, van alden, etc.

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
last night's episode was the weakest of the season imho. i think the stuff with richard and also with nucky/eli was solid but spending that much time with gillian and the fake jimmy was painful.
any episode with no rothstein, capone, van alden, chalky, etc isn't playing to the show's strengths

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
yea i'm glad fake jimmys gone, i know it's not that type of show but it would have been cool if when others were looking at fake jimmy they saw fake jimmy but when we saw him through his moms eyes we saw actually jimmy, that way michael pitt could have come back this season :D heh..
Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
Haven't caught the most recent, but jimmy died for what reason? So his mom could run a whore house with Charlie?

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
Had a revelation earlier this week that billy kent was a dead bitch. Had this huge urge to post my prediction, but then decided against posting it. Forgot why
anyways i really liked this episode.
The scene cuts were written real well for a serial
and mellon was the shit.
The ex fed is about to be a liquor baron!

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
excellent episode.
Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
yeah. really good episode that set up the end of the season properly. the last four eps will have tons of things to handle. it'll be very interesting to see how nucky, lucky, and AR handle that attempted hit.

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
The moment Al realized that he was now in charge was awesome.
also how taxes as a threat to criminal enterprise was foreshadowed, taxes being what eventually brought all of these figures down.

The part where Nucky and Andrew Mellon were talking about taxation revenue from liquor sales when Nucky crashed that private club.

Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3
I need to watch that show again.. DVRing this, homeland, dexter, and walking dead, and then watching them all back to back after Sunday night football is not greatest idea.Kiran187 wrote:The part where Nucky and Andrew Mellon were talking about taxation revenue from liquor sales when Nucky crashed that private club.
Re: Boardwalk Empire Season 3

If I had the willpower that would be awesome. Fucking looooved this last episode. So good. Owen is dead as fuck. Hopefully Gillian too. I just want an excuse to have Richard and Chalky roaming the countryside killing people.Req wrote:seriously considering forgoing the next 3 episodes and then watching them in one sitting like a movie
