Boardwalk Empire Season 3 Discussion
krzieg:
I was happy to see that Eddie was getting better. I hope he doesn't get off'd.
The way Capone & Eli rolled in was gangster. Capone is straight gee and maybe he'll have a run in with Richard, while Richard is killing Rosetti's men.
Capone may work with Richard after finding out that he's trying to save Jimmy's kid (Capone & Jimmy had a good relationship).
I think Margaret is going to leave Nucky and it's clear that Nucky knows about the affair as well.
I can't wait for the season finale. The preview looks amazing. For sure it'll be the most watched tv show episode of the year.

That's true... I forgot about that budding friendship between Jimmy and Capone in the first season. The second and third season (especially the third) have been showing Capone's relationship with his family, as he really loves his son, so he'll probably want to help out Jimmy's son too.

It's possible... with the title "Margate Sands," I was thinking maybe someone (possibly her) moves on from Atlantic City to Margate. But in the back of my head, I was thinking that maybe Margaret leaves her life behind and changes her name to Margate Sands, as "Margate" is similar to "Margaret" and the initials are the same as her original name (Margaret Schroeder), which is something that they did before with Meyer Lansky's character when he first introduced himself to Chalky in the first season under a different name with the same initials.

Well I ended up being wrong about a few things, but maybe we'll see some of those things next season.
The season finale wasn't as cool as I was expecting. Richard taking everyone out at the brothel was pretty dope, but other than that, it wasn't anything crazy. Episode 11 was better. I mostly just want to rewatch the scene with Richard and probably the one of Luciano and Lansky talking to Rothstein and Masseria.
Lunatic:
Nucky has balls, screwing over Rothstein like that is BIG.. he's definitely going to jail off this, which will lead to Lucky's rise..
Not sure what will happen to Masseria..
The Richard scene where he goes postal was easily one of the best scenes in ANY tv show, EVER.. Wow! Insane
I was hoping they'd find a way to keep Gyp alive, his character really saved this season that was boring at times due to Margaret's hospital classes story line & affair with Owen.. Gyp was a huge breath of fresh air to this season, but he was the tv series typical season long bad guy..
Capone is such a GREAT character, can't wait to see his rise, it's coming soon..
Chalky is awesome too
I thought it was a pretty good finale, surprised the closing scene was so "clean" though
it was like a 8.5/10 finale

Nucky didn't exactly "screw" Rothstein over. I compare it to what Daniel Ocean did to Terry Benedict at the end of Oceans 13, where Benedict double-crossed Ocean first, as Ocean had expected, then he got what was coming to him for that. Rothstein wasn't crossing Nucky, but he took the bait (as Nucky put it) and used it as leverage to gain control of the distillery. Being equal partners is one thing (like what Rothstein did with Masseria with the heroin business that they took over from Luciano and Lanksy), but he demanded 99% ownership. He didn't reach out to help Nucky, only to use what he perceived as a desperate man to his financial gain.
Additionally, he punked out earlier when his ass also almost got killed alongside Nucky when Rosetti's bomb went off and decided not to support Nucky, even though he too sustained injuries, though I'd get it if he didn't want to support Nucky but hadn't been injured in the attack. Nucky made it clear -- Rothstein would regret making the call to not back Nucky's play against Masseria and Rosetti, and this is Nucky's way of evening the score and staying true to his word.

Masseria has to stay true to his word and leave things alone, as withdrawing his men from Atlantic City was part of the agreement brokered by Rothstein. Rosetti's corpse is an expected outcome and not really a message to him, especially when Masseria was almost going to have Rosetti killed anyway but gave him just one chance, and he failed -- partially because of Masseria's own calls to pull his men out of there. Historically, he lives for a while longer.

I feel like Richard is the one character who has never been touched. I can't think of him ever even getting punched. He's easily the most dangerous character because of his own capabilities.

There's no way that the season would've ended without Rosetti dying. It was an expected conclusion, and the only logical one. Guys as reckless as him don't last long, and for him to still be alive beyond this season would've been silly, when the guys who are basically assassins or head-strong criminals have even been iced already.

It should be, considering the display of Torrio giving him more say over the Chicago Outfit, plus I think the real Nucky and Capone were always on good terms. The fact that we had been given more glimpses at Capone's character (especially with his relationship with his son and sensitivity toward his disability), we'll definitely see more of him. With the introduction of O'Banion's character this season, that conflict will definitely arise in the fourth season. Ironically what Nucky did to Rothstein is a lot like what happens between them in the future, as I think O'Banion is aware of the feds going to raid one of his locations, which he sells to Torrio and Capone, who take ownership just before it gets raided. I think that resulted in the real war between them.

Yeah, they all kept it G when they all put their guns down and were going to fight toe-to-toe.

I agree that there was more closure than we had seen in the past couple of season finales. So maybe they're not sure where they want to take the show.
