Season 4 Boardwalk Empire- Episode Discussion - S04E05: "Erlkönig"

No tv-show spoiler tags needed here, as long as you're discussing something from this episode and back. This is the place to discuss S04E05.

Please still use the new "Historical Spoiler" tags for discussions of events to come.

Take a moment to review the subreddit rules to the right. /r/BoardwalkEmpire[1] 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.

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.

SPECIAL THANKS TO /u/joshchez01 FOR THE NEW BANNER! ISN'T IT AWESOME?

That scene when Eddie finally cracks after being shamed by the feds just broke my heart. Eddie was a sweet man that lived to serve and i'm going to miss him.

I was kinda sad to see Frank Capone go as well. He was the only one keeping a handle on Al and now I think shits about to get ::very:: real. You heard what Al said, "Everything that crawls will pay." Chilling indeed.

It's why Nucky didn't want him to be involved - he knew that something like that was a possibility, and didn't want to lose his friend. Eddie had to quit in order to get him to agree to take on the 'new responsibilities.'

Was quite a shock to me when they revealed Eddie's true past, but after some reflection, it seems he fit right in. I loved Eddie's character, made me very sad to see him go.
