Boardwalk Empire

Does anyone on this board watch?  I'm sticking with it, but my interest is really starting to slip.  They keep killing off characters, changing the focus, going broader, etc.  I don't know, I'm just not excited to watch.  I don't feel particularly invested in the characters. 

I'm not a fan of the actor who played Gip Rosseti - well, I hated that whole storyline.  I loved Owen too, so maybe that's why I can barely express interest in watching.

Oh, man, I'm still loving it. This is by far one of the best American shows on TV right now. I'm kind of iffy on the Harlem arc but I'm standing by it. One of my favorite characters is Eddie and I really like that we're seeing more his character this season.

I'm pissed about the last episode.

I liked Eddie as well and, well, that was that. But, it was inevitable once he spoke. I will be interested to see if Nucky finds out what happened.

I would have preferred it were Gillian.  I'm guessing Margaret may come back, but I don't know.  It was interesting how he mentioned his son "Teddy" when he was in Florida.

She does come back next week.

This season sucks so far. Hate the new characters and the story lines.

Yeah, I'm sort of bored with it this season. More Margaret!

Yeah, I don't know if that little exchange was their way of saying her plot is done?  I'm guessing she had the baby - they didn't say anything about it.

There's just something wooden and artifical about the show. I think it's the grand scale.  It's almost as if Nucky is just another character now in an ensemble case.  Buscemi's Nucky definitely doesn't carry the show like Walter White or Tony Soprano.

The Treasury agent is definitely going to make Eli his next snitch.

I agree that there are too many story lines this season. I'm having a hard time caring about all of them, so the whole show is sort of losing my interest.
