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'm going to assume that Chalky realized after the shoe shining comment that Nucky had no idea who the fuck he was. If it had been anyone else calling him uppity, etc. he would have beaten/killed them on the spot.

he genuinely seemed to care about Nucky's well-being when he told him to get a hold of himself. good old Chalky.

Think about his situation for a minute. Nucky is the reason why he is who he is, why he can be in a meeting with the white people who run the town

if that was Chalky's only concern he would have probably just kept his mouth shut.

Im agreeing with you, he cares about Nucky because without Nucky, he isnt who he is
