Anybody else hooked on Boardwalk Empire?

In the one episode someone has a nice supply of single signed ty cobb baseballs, he gives one to a kid then pulls out another one to put on his desk.

That was Nucky's stepson (Margaret Schroeder's son), and after he gets home he puts the ball in a cigar box under his bed...and I swear in the split second he had the box open I saw a T204 Ramly. But if you blink you miss it.

Excellent show with some great characters, but too many got killed off at the end of season two. Jimmy's wife (Aleksa Palladino), Jimmy's dad (Dabney Coleman), then Jimmy himself (Michael Pitt)....the show will have a different look next season.

And I was really smitten with Paz de la Huerta, who plays Lucy Danziger. Not only was she hot but also very mysterious. She's my favorite character.

+1 What a fox.

And I caught those t204's as well. Very cool.

The season 2 finale was great. Jimmy had to go and he knew it.

Hopefully the new series "Luck" can make waiting around for BE a little easier!

Kelly McDonald who plays Nucky's live in lover has a leading role on a great BBC in America show called State of Play. Last episode is tonite, but you can catch the season with Entertainment on Demand (at least that is what Time Warner calls it).

Spoiler for those who haven't seen it yet:


























I was really shocked when they killed off Jimmy Darmody at the end, as he was just as important a character as Nucky and they spent quite a bit of time developing him.

Made me wonder if the show was getting cancelled after this season or if the actor wanted out for some reason or another.

I do not believe that BE was cancelled.

It wasn't canceled...but Bored to Death was.
