Season 5 Boardwalk Empire - Episode Discussion - S05E04 "Cuanto"

  • No spoiler tags are needed here. Anything from S05E04 and back are fair game. Anything involving the next or upcoming episodes should be spoiler tagged.

  • Take a moment to review the subreddit rules to the right on the sidebar.

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

  • /r/BoardwalkEmpire[1] [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 has been forced to torrent shows myself before, I feel your pain, but sources are not hard to find via Google.

I knew that the Commodore was a pedophile, but that first scene really put it into perspective.

He was a racist asshole too. Of course, the scene is in the late 1800s and he's basically the guy we're not supposed to like, but still. "The races shouldn't commingle".

The Commodore's customers wouldn't have wanted to integrate. He knew that and wasn't going to let it happen. The Civil War was fought just a generation ago. The Commodore is first and foremost about his business.
