I'd rather be waterboarded than have the cockroach thing

D'Angelo says "Where the fuck is Wallace?" on the Wire, a bunch of people say "Where the fuck is D'Angelo?" on Boardwalk Empire, the scene is definitely referencing The Wire….got it.

Frank Sobotka was in True Blood so True Blood is awesome

Its where the fuck is wallace

I'm surprised AV Club doesn't go back and do reviews of all the wire episodes, given how hard people seem to jizz over seeing a few measly wire actors in other shows

Nucky says he always thought it was obanion, which means he knew about it when it happened

Pretty sure that speech he made to get hired was supposed to show how Nucky molded him into a world class bullshitter, but I could be wrong

I read the show is going to do for blow what mad men did for cigarettes, so I think it'll be slightly different than Not Fade Away

When Boardwalk started it was similar to breaking bad with the Nucky/Jimmy and Walt/Jesse dynamic. However Boardwalk had the balls to give Jimmy what was coming to him. The shit Jesse was doing in seasons 3 and 4 (stealing meth from the lab, dealing it in Gus' territory) would have had him killed immediately by a…

Season 3 was the only season that followed that formula specifically.

Yeah overall it was one of the weaker seasons. I'd rank them 4, 2, 1, 3, when put up against each other

Spoiler Alert: Nucky's deal with Bacardi falls through so he attempts to go legit by opening his own massage parlor, then that doesn't work out either

Probably because the last two episodes of that season were absolute crushers and that's what sticks with people

We're so far into the future now these old fucks have to tell us young whippersnappers about the historical significance of nirvana.

Nirvana blows

way better than Pallbearer

fuck now the fiends won't be able to make the fake money trick work anymore
