“I think there’s no one else in the all the world; there’s only you and me.” (Gillian) Okay, I’m not going to beat a dead horse for long, other reviewers have done this already. But please do allow me this short rant: […]
“How Nucky shoes be fitting these days?” (Chalky) If you say you didn’t see it coming, you’re pretty much blind. Sure, it’s HBO – if Boardwalk Empire were a network show, Angela’d been dead ages ago. But, even with HBO’s budgets, a […]
“Sometimes I feel as if I were living in an H.G. Wells novel.” (Violet) For an episode spending so much time on introducing a telephone and with a very predictable cliffhanger, I was surprised to not see two and two put together. […]

“If she’s got a boyfriend, I’m a giraffe.” (O’Brian) Now who doesn’t like the fair? I sure as hell don’t – today fairs are synonym for teenage kids drinking breezers and barfing on the bumper carts. But back when life was different, […]
“Now I’ve just got to figure out how to get home.” (Peter) This must’ve been the most subtle plot twist ever. It took until about thirty minutes after the episode finished for me to get it. This is it. It’s the solution […]
