Upcoming HBO shows of note:
David Fincher adaptation of Utopia
Ballers: which has the Rock as a retired athlete
The Brink: geopolitical drama starring Tim Robbins and Jack Black
Westworld: sci-fi thriller starring Anthony Hopkins- The Rock has always been a guarantee blast of cheese. I wonder how he got anywhere near HBO.CyBrainX

Pat yourself on the back Cygnus! A much needed thread!
Isn't Newsroom coming back for a 3rd season?
So no one knows young Nucky actor's name?
- havent seen newsroom yetCygnusZero4
- Newsroom has fantastic moments in between painfully juvenile love scenes.CyBrainX

After all this time following this show and this thread, I didnt even bother watching the last 2 episodes. The first 2 were so disappointing that I totally lost interest in how this all ends. I think basically all of last season sucked too. Hate the direction this show took after season 2 when Jimmy died.
Aside from Game of Thrones, I wonder what the next great HBO show will be. They usually have 2 big shows going on at the same time. Boardwalk is ending so they must have something else in the oven.

That was so odd I thought it was Steve Buscemi for about a minute.

Trying to find who played the 20 something Nucky when he was the deputy. He did a good Steve Buscemi doing Nucky.

I can also see Lucky Luciano and the rest of the Sicilian mob oust Capone. Lucky seems to be running out of patience. Nucky is gonna flip his shit about Havana, go there and I bet the shit will hit the fan in A.C. when he leaves. When he comes back he will square off against the Sicilians, his brother is dead then feds move in... fin. Or maybe not. Either way shit is aboot to get real.

Shit! I didn't even realise it had started again yet! *not reading above, going to go catch up*

Chalky was arrested? I need to rewatch season 5. I'm w ewo, the bs flashbacks, trying to tie everything together and being over literal degrades the shows original spirit, integrity and depth.

We still don't know why Nucky torched his pop's house though. This episode was our introduction to the Father figure who defined his attitude toward Good vs Evil. I wonder if it's an attempt to bring him full circle. In current day he's trying to become legit, but he learned early that it gets you nowhere. Curious..

Im not sure what you guys think about this, but due to how little has been covered with Capone and Luciano, I was actually thinking maybe that was intentional with the idea create a spinoff series when those 2 are more powerful than they are on this show, which really only covers both of their starts. A new series that covers the events after Boardwalk when they both became very famous.

I agree about the origin stuff. Its pointless right now. We know who this guy is, so you spend 1/8th of the final season to show us why he is the way he is, or how he got his start? I think if you watch this show you can put that puzzle together in your own imagination, really didnt need to spend an episode on that now in a shortened final season. smh

I think this show has gotten too far away from what I loved about the first 2 seasons, back when it was really just atlantic city, booze and gangsters. It seems like it climaxed with Jimmy getting killed, and after that its too much politics, cuba, real estate, dull subplots, waited way too long to get to the rise of capone and luciano which feel like afterthoughts.
Season 3 was ok, last season I thought was mostly terrible. I just feel like they lost their focus, or maybe didnt expect the show to last this long so theyre making up stories along the way. Ill still miss it though. Some great shit in the first couple seasons.

Christ, that was rough. 8 hours left and we're spending half of it in flashbacks to 1880? We understand Nucky enough. No more origin story.

Get ready!

^ Well we know its loosely based on actual people and that the character Nucky is based on was not murdered, neither was Capone, Lucky etc...so yeah...who knows how close to the actual events they want to keep it.

Which show will have more survivors? Boardwalk Empire or Sons of Anarchy? I'm betting on Boardwalk Empire.
