    Default Boardwalk Empire

    I watched first two series and actually stopped watching last week and deleted it from my planner altogether.

    Quite simply - I got bored of it

    Know I'm not alone in thinking like that, this third season has simply been moving far too slow. I also find Kelly Mcdonald extremely irritating and why there's still a pathetic storyline involving Van Alden I don't know (it's moved nowhere).

    I will tune back in for the final bloodbath ending no doubt there'll be when it finally ends

    Actually I see your point as it did get slow for the first couple of episodes but man has it picked up. And not for nothing but the Van Alden angle took a great turn tonight and Margaret had a surprise that has me anxious to see what occurs next week.

    You're probably a few episodes ahead of me in US ??

    One I gave up on was when Jimmy's mum met a young kid who looked like him. Van Alden was still moping around in life in an apartment with some bird - all he has been doing all third season.

    I'm not going back to it I don't think

    I love the show. The one thing I don't get, if Margaret really is, why did she ask the Dr. for a diaphragm? Totally bummed about Owen.

    Man that Chip Rossetti is one seriously fucked up individual.

    As much as I like Boardwalk, Homeland is by far my favorite show. With Game of Thrones, True Blood, American Horror Story and Person of Interest close behind. Then Boardwalk.

    I've enjoyed this season of Boardwalk more than previous. If you are going to do gangster genre you need a heavy dose of it. Something Sopranos forgot.

    Diane, I really enjoyed the first season of American Horror but have been very underwhelmed with this season.

    Really came to like this one last season and won't miss it. Very suprised about what-who came home in the box lastnight, pretty decent character. Lots of twists that just HAVE to lead to a finale of payback for Nucky It better. They have really under used Richard, my fav role but something tells me hes about to be put to very good use! Gyp is a fuckin loon and once they had him wearing the Captain Crunch hat two episodes ago I was waiting for his own crew to fall apart. Really really hope they bring things to a fast and furious seasonal close. If you look at it...Nucky has no one left Charlie white? Richard? Thinking Capone will come in...also love the oddball turn that the ex FBI (forget the name) turned moonshine runner and salemen has taken.

    I'm thinking Chalky's crew is gonna play a major role in helping Nucky fend off Gyp. I am also very curious to see if the cousin of the guy Gyp beat with the shovel is going to have a role in his possible downfall. There was a bit of foreshadowing in the look in his eyes when Gyp told him that he owed him and he stared at his now decapitated cousin.

    I've tried to look at True Blood but couldn't get into it. A coworker has mentioned Homeland before so I will have to give it a look.

    Once Trueblood got into faries I have bumped it down on the must see list. It gets a bit cornball, that and everyone popping fangs everytime they get emotional. Sundays are stacked really...right now Walking Dead rules it, Boardwalk and Thrones once it gets going. I watched 1st season of Homeland but fell off. I keep seeing the lead as Colonel Winters from Band Of Brothers and it just doesn't translate

    Actually gave Game of Thrones a try and so far so good. I am only on ep 5 of season one and I already wanna kick that little bastard Joffrey in the nuts.

    No its not just you, I have a coworker who has read the books and he has made similar remarks about the books and says that it was tedious reading.
