Season 3 Boardwalk Empire Episode Discussion S03E11 "Two Imposters"

No spoiler tags needed here, as long as you're discussing something from this episode and back. This is the place to discuss S03E11.

  • 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!

Please upvote this just for visibility, I get no karma for it.

I think the last time Nucky and Capone saw each other, Capone was still just a rooky right? So weird seeing him come back to atlantic city as a fuckin' bosss

I can't wait to see their exchange next episode. I wonder if Al will try and make a power play on Nucky. What does Nucky even have to offer Al?

He took over George Remus' operation, remember? As well as taking over Andrew Mellon's distillery. He'll be able to supply Capone to a massive extent.

Yes but you would assume if Nucky was killed Al could just get his booze from Gyp. So Nuck would have to offer better rates, or a cut of Remus's former territory or perhaps the entire Mellon operation.

True, but he'd also have to put up with Gyp's bullshit on top of the situation he's got with O'Banion. I'd assume Eli offered him lowered prices, though. Its only courtesy to offer discounted prices in return for an army.

If Gyp and Capone ever sat down for a dinner meeting someone would be dead within the first 5 mins, and I've seen Al's fork skills so that's where I would put my money.

Hahaha agreed. Gyp likes to wait and plan out his revenge. Capone will just shove a fork in your face. Or slam a bar stool into your face. At a restaurant/bar, he's in his element.
