There were two surprises when it comes to the end of “Boardwalk Empire” season 4: Not only was there a death that you didn’t see coming, but there was also the life spared that you probably did not see coming. Going into this episode, the easy assumption to make was that when the dust settled, […]
Whenever we see a show that is starting to get near the fifth or sixth season, the question that we always ask is the one that is in the title of this article. How much more of a story is there really left to tell with a given show? When it comes to “Boardwalk Empire,” […]
Are you ready for the “Boardwalk Empire” season 4 finale to just be here already? Well, think of it this way: 24 hours from the time in which we are writing this article, the episode will be here, and you will finally get an opportunity to see if Nucky Thompson’s newest operation will sink or […]
Almost all “Boardwalk Empire” finales seem to have a common thread to them, at least in that there is something pretty horrible that happens, and at least a few characters (with Nucky Thompson being one of them) typically find themselves knocking on death’s door by the time the end comes.

As we now enter the second half of “Boardwalk Empire” season 4, there are many stories that need to be addressed. You obviously have what is going on with Nucky Thompson in terms of the Tampa operation, and then you also have the very complicated story of Al Capone, who is clearly going to have […]
Is “William Wilson” going to become the “Ozymandias” of “Boardwalk Empire”? We do appreciate a good literary reference as much as the next guy, and the HBO series loves to use these time and time again as titles. The reason that we create the “Breaking Bad” analogy here is because the Percy Shelley poem and […]
Typically when you see a love interest for a character appear a few seasons in, there is typically a word we use to describe them: Uninspired.
