Boardwalk Empire Season 5 Thread - Series Finale - Eldorado

[girlslovewaffles]

Rewatched the interrogation scene between Knox and Eddie where they're discussing the German poem Erlkönig.

One of my favorite scenes this season

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

The way it looked to me they shot the shotgun in to the air to get everybody down and I think only Frank and Van Alden were still standing. Then from what I saw (since it happened pretty quick, they shot him once in the gut before they let off a dozen rounds by that time Van Alden is ducking too.

It's hard to catch cuz Frank was initially goin to raise his gun and shoot Van Alden cuz he saw him creeping up on Al.

Capone's speech was epic.

 

[asianplayer]

Damb, Eddie and Frank both gone. Gonna be hell to pay when Capone decides to take revenge.

Disappointed to see Eddie gone, but I loved the reveal that he stole from his old job and fled with a mistress. His slip up last week seemed like an unfortunate mistake for a guy who finally got some power and respect, but now we know it's just another case of a guy with a bit of power and not being able to control himself. He had one job to do, give up the money and leave, but he went out, ate, talked business like he's a boss, then got drunk all night. One mistake from a guy who should have known better.

I figured he was a goner as soon as he got pinched, but his suicide was done really well. Pair up Nucky's socks, get dressed up, jump out a window.

Gilligan was extra pathetic tonight and I'm hoping we see where her story is going soon. Her new benefactor seems too good to be true, so I'm interested in the real story... assuming there is one.

Will pinning it on his roommate do what you gotta do, but poor kid I'm glad he admitted to Nucky the reason he did it, though.. "He thought he was better than me. He wasn't" or something to that effect. That's the Thompson rage inside of him

Finally, RIP Frank Capone He was really growing on me but I knew it was coming anyway. On the brightside, Van Alden needs to just go full psycho with Capone

 

[youngin33]

Haha, Mueller/van Alden lines are pure gold!!' Dude cracks me up.

 

[girlslovewaffles]

What the **** is going on here?

A numerically disadvantaged situation.

 

[htg designs]

I hate a rat.

 

[championboyz7]

Man I watched man of steel on Sunday , I couldn't take general zod seriously

 

[Trey Bantz]

Damn shame, I was really warming up to Frank Capone's character.

On a side note, I googled a picture of the real Frank Capone and they did a phenomenal job with casting, the resemblance between actor and the person he's portraying is

I can't imagine seeing Al without Frank, he was the yin to his yang

He knows he said so when she was laying in bed.


He wants to save her.

Missed that part

yea, it said that Al was the negotiator and Frank was the violent one in real life.

 

[jjs07]

You guys really think Eli would let his son work for Nucky? I doubt it

Nucky obviously sees potential in Willy, and I do see some parallels between him and Jimmy Darmody.

*edit*

If there is ever a biopic on Richard Nixon, they need to cast the dude who plays Roy.

 

[aepps20]

Why was Van Alden pointing the gun at Frank? Was it on purpose or an accident?

 

[youngin33]

They made it look like he was going to off Al. Frank saw it and then got lit up.

 

[creekshow]

Why was Van Alden pointing the gun at Frank? Was it on purpose or an accident?

He was pointing it @ Al. Probably tired of him already. Knows he's a loose cannon and he had a clear/perfect opportunity to take him out. Frank saw this, started to draw on Van Alden and got blasted away.

 

[Magic33]

Why was Van Alden pointing the gun at Frank? Was it on purpose or an accident?

On purpose, because he was already fed up with O'Banion because of how he was treated and picked on. That was his same issue when he was doing the salesman thing. He told Al about it from the beginning, but that's Al's personality.

 

[jjs07]

I thought the gun was pointed at Al. Which Frank clearly saw before he got that swiss cheese treatment. Van Alden had no reason to light up Frank. If anything, that was the one person he had in his corner from the Capone camp.

Dude looks exactly like a young Nixon. He didn't like that in Office Space though or maybe I didn't notice.

Yup. Sums that up.

Now van Aldon will probably side with Al, since no one [alive] saw his momentary lapse in judgment.

 

[blade br0wn]

if Purnsley's real last name is Oxford. Almost fell off my couch laughing when he said Mr. Oxford. I was like what kind of fake name is that? He probably still a little shook messing with white girls cuz I don't know why he aint take down Gillian.

I think Mr. Oxford came from the type of shoes he was wearing. He was getting his shoes shined plus he crossed his legs right before announcing his name.

This. He looked right at his shoe before he gave her the fake name...

Sucks to see Kessler go. He provided that subtle humor that kept me cracking up. Glad we got to see more of him before off'd himself...

Frank Cap was that dude too. I really liked the job they did with his character. That smooth-talking and calm businessman opposite his brother...

Will we see Torrio anytime this season? I thought we saw him in one of the trailers...

Margot Bingham is the truth... As I stated in the 1st couple of pages.

Did anyone peep him in the other episode in the meeting with Dr. Narcisse? With Herc already on cast, I wonder how many others from the Major Crimes Unit will make an appearance...

 

[imvictor]

Mr. Piggly wiggly sounded happy to get his cape out actually

 

[je ne sais quoi]

Wasn't he in the first episode complaining about the newspaper article, which got Al heated over his misspelled name?

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Van Alden is clearly tired of Al. Of course he was aiming at him.

Al Capone is annoying and unsettling as ****. How isn't this obvious? Type of dude that will get you killed with his antics *cough*Frank*cough* You gotta look forward to when he calms down a bit and becomes more of a thinker in his later years as the don.

 

[girlslovewaffles]

Al is already rough around the edges sober. With cocaine?
