Wonder what the commodore, jimmy & eli have up there sleeves it wont be easy to remove nucky
its based on real life, if u know history, the shows basically already spoiled for you.
There's a difference between slow and just bad. A lot of times Boardwalk was pretty bad.
I've been re-watching the season (though at a pretty slow pace), and there are things that I'm picking up on that I didn't notice before, or things that I'm trying to look for. It's definitely not a waste of time to check it out a second time around. You notice throughout the whole season how Eli doesn't really like his brother all that much, or how Jimmy's baby mama acts when near the photography studio, etc. I'm trying to see at what point Van Alden's sidekick (I forget his name) would've been under Nucky's control since it didn't seem like that in the third episode when they storm into the hospital when Eli is trying to kill Rothstein's man who survived the ambush.

I couldn't think of anything I would consider bad off the top of my head from the season. A lot of shit bored me a little, but it eventually paid off in the end.....I'm trying to think of a few examples, but I'm starting to forget a lot of the details after just a few weeks.
Here's some of the things I didn't really like or thought was just okay. -Nucky's lack of depth as a character. It shouldn't have taken until the last episode to have this payoff being that he is the central character so far. There's one thing to be mysterious, but he clearly wasn't.
-Bad casting for Jimmy's character. He spends most of the time acting like he's about to cry and his lips get all pouty like if he was some 13 year old slut on myspace a few years ago.
-Way too much emphasis on Margaret Schroder. We all knew what was going to happen. She claims to be the righteous one and still ends up being with Nucky.
