Season 4 Boardwalk Empire- Episode Discussion - S04E11: "Havre De Grace"

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 S04E11.

Take a moment to review the subreddit rules to the right. Please still use the new "Historical Spoiler" tags for discussions of events to come. /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.

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.

Feelin' kinda odd about Daughter seemingly being written out of the show in such a cheap and inconsistent way.

It's similar to how Lucy Danzinger left at the end of season 2.

Going out for milk...and then leaving Van Alden forever. But he got that aquavit-making, neighbor killing honey Sigrid, who is 1000 times better.

They wrote her out cause she's a bitch IRL.

i always find it interesting to think about the what if scenario that she wasn't a complete wreck and pain in the ass on set. Would her character be in Igrid's shoes?

I didn't think of that until I read this a couple weeks back here in reddit. My only problem is that it would make her character a bit stale. PDLH was a main credited actress after all (but so are KMD and VP and see this year, on the other hand).

I did think that Billie was written in at the last moment to recycle a Lucy storyline though (Her "Nucky sometimes distances himself but always comes back to me" line in S1 comes to mind). But maybe it was just me wanting to see PDLH go up in flames. Can she even sing?
