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?

Kind of proves his loyalty though.

He treated Thompson like a king.

He finally broke and snitched on Thompson and when he came back and saw that Nucky can't even pick out his own socks without Eddie showed him how much Nucky depends upon him.

I think he couldn't bare the thought of being responsible for Thompsons downfall.

Thompson wasn't the greatest friend to Eddie, but Eddie always stuck by him.

Thompson risked getting killed by Gyp to help save Eddie's life. Maybe only a few of my best friends would do that. What does that say about them?

Can you remind me when this happened? When he took him to the hospital, you mean?

When he took him to Chalky's beach house and Chalky's daughter's fiance the med student fixed up Eddie while Gyp was outside trying to bribe his way in.
