"Boardwalk Empire" Season 1 Banter

[rennD]

can someone tell me who Luciano was shooting at the end there (it was a delivery truck full of booze)? was this important or just filler?

I don't know man, I was wondering the same. It was almost like it was a deal going wrong, but I was'nt for sure.

I liked the finale! I think season 1 of the Sopranos is very comparable, that wasn't a mind blowing season either, but a solid one that set up things to come. I think HBO knows they've got the next big there w/Boardwalk and are setting it up for the long-haul

Tying in Harding's "Return to Normalcy" speech w/Margaret and Nucky getting back together was brilliant. My favorite line of the night though: "Woodrow Wilson, that Southern son of a b*tch"

And I couldn't figure out who Lucky whacked either, I think it was a Dalesio brother?

That's what I thought.

I would be shocked if a Dalesio brother was out doing casual business with Luciano after 4 of his brothers just got whacked....documented in the newspapers and all.

You are right as ususal Admiral! From IMDB:

In a closing montage while Eddie Cantor sings for the celebratory crowd, we see Van Alden sitting alone and tearing up. We see Eli, the Commodore and Jimmy plotting something while Gillian quietly sips a drink. Lansky and Luciano pull another whiskey heist, with Lucky shooting a kid who'd just taken payment from Lansky for a truckload of liquor. Nan sits alone and puts on the ring she found in the cake, smiling dreamily. Rothstein sighs as he talks on the phone, and Eddie counts stacks of cash. Angela sits at home in an empty dining room.

If only I could be right about fantasy hockey line-ups, Steve!

You know, everybody was saying how they didn't like the finale...but I really enjoyed it. We saw a lot of character development from the first episode to the finale, and I think the finale really was a nice chapter end to a lot of journeys the different characters were taking. And yes, as people have said, I think they've set themselves up for a GREAT second season and possibly more.

I finally watched the finale yesterday and was not disappointing in the least. One thing I have found about some of my favorite shows is that the finale's are often nothing spectacular, but they set the plot and characters up for season 2. That is exactly what happened here and I think season 2 is going to be spectacular.
