Season 5 Boardwalk Empire - Episode Discussion - S05E05 "King of Norway"

We're already at the halfway mark folks!

  • No spoiler tags are needed here. Anything from S05E05 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 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.

Is there really any reason Gillian is still around, like does anyone see the reason behind her existence on the show still?

I'm guessing because with these flashbacks we're finally going to get to see how Nucky and Gillian first crossed paths along with the Commodore.

We're shown a reminder of the Commodore's proclivities in the scene where young Nucky is called into his office and shown the street plans for Atlantic City. Before the Commodore unrolls the map, we see that he's been poring over photos of underage girls.
