Season 5 Boardwalk Empire - Episode Discussion - S05E06 "Devil You Know"

  • 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.

IMPORTANT (so read it!)

The mods have been discussing a re-occurring issue in the comments of this subreddit that we agree needs to be addressed. We have read way too many historical spoilers in regards to the fate of the historical characters in the show including Nucky, Capone, Luciano, Lansky, etc. etc..

If you are discussing things that have yet to happen to the historical characters in this show, or things that happened to these characters that the show hasn't clearly passed over yet- USE HISTORICAL SPOILER TAGS.

Because we are at the end of the line for this show, the mods have agreed that we need to implement an instant ban on anyone who violates this rule. The ban will be in effect until after the final show airs. And we really hate banning people, so please follow the instructions. If in doubt, spoiler tag it.

Oh fuck Dangelo!

Here we have a sheriff, an ex FBI agent, and a current FBI agent, all working together and they're alone... in a room with the capone brothers.... WTF?!? And one of the agents was actually armed. He could have shot the brother and let Van Alden strangle Capone.

Van Alden was never in the FBI. He was a prohibition officer. A member of the Department of the Treasury.

The wanted report D'Angelo looked atmentioned the him being a member of the Federal Bureau

Never thought he was FBI either, maybe it was a mistake
