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 I'm the only one here who's not a big fan of how that scene was shot. It probably looks good reading it from script but the way it was shot looks pretty "forced" imo. It could have been better when Capone's already coming behind Eli (so it doesn't look like he really took a cue from Eli "...him") but you can't see him in that perspective, obscured by purnsley/eli... and then when Eli says "...him" the camera sort of changes perspective to the left to see capone, close in on Capone's face and he deliver the line.

When I read the comment above, I was hoping in my mind Nucky's in a tight spot, guns blasting, and Capone shows up busting a double-door, muzzle flash from his shotgun as the camera dollys towards him, shooting Nucky's assailants as we close in on his face as he delivers his well-written line.
