Well..Boardwalk Empire premiered it`s first season 5 episode ‘Golden Days for Boys and Girls‘…here are my first un-edited impressions on the episode:

it wasn’t a super exciting episode, but i thought it was decent. beautifully shot, nice music. no real complaints. i liked the flashbacks better than i thought i would? i still don’t really get the point because we already know this stuff about nucky but maybe they’re going somewhere with them. i’ll give them some time… for now. the actor they got to play the young commodore is like too close it’s almost scary and young nucky is adorable. idk, i like them just not sure of the point. the opening scene was kind of chilling, really pretty. fingers crossed that margaret being in episode 1 means she’ll have a meaningful last season i want to see the kids all grown up too, badly. i really enjoyed the ny stuff. rip joe, you were an ass. but i will miss ivo nandi so much. meyer go see your boyfriend, he misses you, you have things to discuss. sally is slaying and i’m happy she’s not with nucky either. reminds me of the s3 premiere where nucky and mags go after each other right after the guests leave. i’m interested in where chalky’s story is going. not sure where it is going tho… mostly though, i can’t wait to see my chicago babies next week. i hope there’s at least a passing reference to the north side gang’s demise. probably not tho. vanaldy i worry about you. gillian. where are you?
