Season 5 of Boardwalk Empire is going to take place seven years from S4. Which means the great depression era.

I wonder if HBO would be willing to do a Capone spin off with Graham.

I just don't see how they'll do BE justice in 8 episodes with a 7 year gap. It'll take them two episodes just to get us up to date with key characters. I know I shouldn't be pessimistic about it, but I am.

I agree with Basi! I just read again some article regarding BE's 8 eps. Cannot believe they'll do that. Where will they fit Capone? Elliot Ness is cast and they go to the Great Depression! That almost requires them to have a chunky Chicago storyarc IMO. Where will New York fit? Atlantic City takes the lion's share for sure. How about the Florida ?! Too little time to go into all and still provide some exposition for the 7 yr gap. I just hope they'll not rush it.

I guess they'll just wholesale dump some storylines, like summing up what happened in Florida in a one minute conversation. I'm disgusted. They should wrap up Atlantic City and New York, and give Chicago its own spinoff.

Now I'm upset myself! I'm just going to go see when it starts and hope for the best. I would hate to see Florida cut. I liked the Ladyfriend for Nucky. Those night calls were so human. And Nucky needed someone like her. That's what I thought at least. I'll miss this series. Maybe I'll do like Japie and do a binge watch right before. Go out in style.

Heck yeah! It would be fun to binge and then let the series go out with a bang, or a fizzle, or whatever it's going to be. No sense in worrying about it.

We totally should Basi. Maybe use the old thread and rehash arguments. I didn't even get to post for earlier seasons!

Is it true Lindeloff already told people none of the fucking mysteries will be solved just so he won't get any backlash like he did with Lost? Because really, fuck that dipshit.

Japie, so I think it makes sense that he'd say that this time. There's no answer being promised about the big event, discussions about it in the show are mostly just background noise.

I really liked the pilot I must say. Stylish, intriguing. All the actors are fairly good, Theroux is fantastic. I find the Guilty Remnant particularly interesting.

 

Edit: for sense making

Recently I've been watching a lot of The League on Netflix and I am loving it. This show is fast becoming one of my favorite comedies out there. Thought I might be unable to like it due to all of the fantasy football stuff but it doesn't really effect your enjoyment of the show much. Anyway it's just a fun show, kinda similar to It's Always Sunny.

Bernard Cornwell’s best-selling Saxon Stories are to be adapted for television as the BBC makes a play for the Game of Thrones audience.

The BBC Two drama, The Last Kingdom, is billed as “a show full of heroic deeds and epic battles” that embraces “politics, religion, warfare, courage, love, loyalty and our universal search for identity”.

The yet-to-be-cast hero is Uhtred, the orphaned son of a Saxon nobleman who is kidnapped by the Vikings and raised as one of their own.

Filming begins in the autumn with eight hour-long episodes planned for 2015. The setting is the year 872 during the reign of Alfred the Great, when "the separate kingdoms of what we now know as England have fallen to the invading Vikings and the great kingdom of Wessex has been left standing alone and defiant".

someone watching The honourable woman?

Gave it a try because Tobias Menzies and Lindsay Duncan and politics but I don´t think I´ll keep watching.  There´s great acting and it´s kinda easy on the eye but the characters are annoying. Their personalities, the way they talk, even the way they look and walk and, idk, all very elegant and ANNOYING. The way they talk is specially bad and pretentious and they all look high or on chill pills or something. Stephen Rea made me laugh a couple of time but there´s no sense of humor, at all. It´s all very elusive and... soft, even violence is soft in this show. WEIRD.

And the secretive plot and the way it´s unfolding is also annoying. Is not very political which is pretty weird because of the subject. To be honest, I`m not even sure what´s going on and that´s annoying.

Ugh, and I hate Lubna Azabal, her and her character, all fucking annoying. And she´s a bitch. A major one.

And Maggie Gyllenhal is a slut . Good for her but the bitch just

Spoiler
so fuck it, won´t watch anymore.

Same guy directed The shadow line. I saw some episodes only because Chiwetel, couldn´t keep watching but I don`t remember it was like this.

So, did someone peep this show full of mental patients?dany

Awwwwwwwwwwww yeah

Fans of David Simon, rejoice. The creator of The Wire and Treme is bringing his patented brand of incisive, racially-charged drama back to HBO with the miniseries Show Me a Hero. And he’s bringing actors Catherine Keener and Oscar Isaac along for the ride. The six-episode event, based on a non-fiction book by Lisa Belkin, is set in the 1980s and focuses on a housing crisis in Yonkers, New York. When a federal judge ordered low-income housing to be built in predominantly white neighborhoods, it sparked a city-wide controversy and tore apart the political life of the young mayor of Yonkers, Nick Wasicsko (Isaac). Keener will play one of the East Yonkers residents who is staunchly opposed to racial integration in her neighborhood.

HBO are developing this interesting new series called Westworld. It's based on a 70's movie about androids from an Amusement park going nuts. Just look at the cast they've already pulled together, Sir Anthony Hopkins, James Marsden, Evan Rachael Wood, Jeffrey Wright and now Ed Harris. And Christopher Nolan's brother Jonathan (writer of Memento, Prestige, TDK and Persons of Interest) is writing and directing the series.

Is Westworld gonna be a TV movie, mini-series or a full fledged TV show? I wonder who will play the gunslinger?

I started re-watching "Angel" after watching the whole Buffy series again a few months back.

I gotta say they both held up really well.

I have a weak spot for Zach Galifianakis and Louis CK so this is sounding awesome:

http://deadline.com/2014/08/zach-galifianakis-louis-c-k-comedy-baskets-fx-825794/

In a world constrained by corporate interests and the homogenization of society, one man in Bakersfield, California dares to follow his dream of becoming a professional clown. But after an unsuccessful enrollment at a prestigious clowning school in Paris, the only job he can find is with the local rodeo. Baskets follows Chip Baskets’ (Galifianakis) pursuit of his dream, against all odds, to be a respected clown. “Zach Galifianakis, Louis C.K. and Jonathan Krisel have created an absolutely brilliant show,” said FX’s Eric Schrier. “To say Zach’s portrayal of the lead character Chip Baskets is hilarious/unique/riveting/fascinating would be an understatement. We can’t wait for the world to meet him.”
