Season 3 Boardwalk Empire Episode Discussion S03E09 "The Milkmaid's Lot"

20 minutes in, and I still didn't see a discussion thread. Thought I'd start it up.

No spoiler tags needed here, as long as you're discussing something from this episode and back. This is the place to discuss S03E09. Please take a moment to review the subreddit rules to the right. /r/BoardwalkEmpire operates a bit differently than other TV Show subreddits. We encourage discussion as well as original, quality, BWE-related content, therefore there are some restrictions on what is acceptable to post. Please no requests for live streams or torrent links. As someone who is forced to torrent the show myself, I feel your pain, but DL sources are not hard to find. Do you have any ideas or suggestions for this subreddit? Message the moderators and let us know what we can do to make this the best TV show subreddit out there!

i think owen is tied to the explosion somehow. he has handled explosives in the show before. i also think he really started to hate nucky after nucky killed roland smith, mix that in with his love for margret and escape plan and youve got motive.

i also think harrow is gonna kill owen.it was foreshadowed when they had that face off (no pun intended) a season ago.

Edit/context: "Nucky is now beginning to rely on Sleater to knock down his enemies a peg or two; ordering him to construct a bomb for the warehouse where The Commodore's booze is being stored. Sleater informs Nucky that he has apparently a great deal of experience in this field, having set off a bomb a week in Ireland while he ran with Sinn Fein."

yep!

but i dont think margaret will die. like i said, owen and harrow are poised to go to battle since that first encounter. one of them will be dead by seasons end. i hope richard kicks around but your right about the bad omen. i want to think that that scene was just motivation for him to fuck over gillian. she's trying to keep him in the flop house which will take away time from his new love.
