The new season starts in 17 minutes so I thought it needed a thread.
My thoughts exactly.JonZ said:A excellent hour of tv tonight. Everything from the New York stuff to the jailhouse scene= great tv.

A good introduction to a certain gangster that would be associates of Luciano and Lansky for many years to come.
Right now, Jimmy is conflicted. In time, I think he gets unconflicted.Originally Posted by Chuck Mayer /t/315068/boardwalk-empire-season-two#post_3857235
I presume there is no way Jimmy stays on the Commodores side. He put the wedding gift of Nucky on a shelf in the closet. He did not throw it away. Where his loyalties go is uncertain, but I can't imagine they'll stay with the Commodore.
Excellent first two episodes.
Good point. I took his putting the present in the closet as an F-you to Nucky but, you're right, if he really hated as much as he says, he'd have tossed it.Chuck Mayer said:He put the wedding gift of Nucky on a shelf in the closet. He did not throw it away.
Last night's episode illustrates that even moreso with the answer he gave to his wife's question regarding his dinner with his father.Originally Posted by Robert Crawford /t/315068/boardwalk-empire-season-two#post_3857238

I agree, it takes away from the heart of the show.Originally Posted by ScottH /t/315068/boardwalk-empire-season-two#post_3860151
Still loving the show, but the storyline with Van Alden's pregnant bimbo needs to go.
I think it's clearly showing how even the seemingly-incorruptable can be corrupted. The arc isn't on the same level as the rest of the show, but the show doesn't grind to a halt when it's featured, either--especially when you consider the potentials: will VA ultiamtely come down on one side of the brewing conflict? Will one side "win" him over?Originally Posted by Quentin /t/315068/boardwalk-empire-season-two#post_3861439
Van Alden has to go. It's like they were so impressed by his perf last year (and it WAS awesome) so they felt obligated to bring him back. But, they have NOTHING for him. The rest of the show is running circles around him.
