Now, you might be thinking that this is an obvious question. Sure, it’s a tv series based in a time that is not now. Ok I get that, but what Mad Men has done was and continues to do is pretty amazing. Being completely true to the time period, drawing you into the characters and all the while being able to highlight those little touches of the period without ever seeming forces or worse, cliché.
The episode concludes with the conscience-cleared Van Alden returning home to find Lucy snuggling their newborn baby, Lil’ Illegitimatey Jr, with Lucy declaring “I did it all myself.” Lucy’s brave solo delivery does represent an unprecedented level of independence on her character’s part, but while we may have questioned her ability to be self-sufficient, I don’t think any of us would’ve questioned her vagina prowess. boardwalk empire dvd
Nucky would be the castaway who sets up a strong, seemingly secure alliance on the first day and then watches in disbelief as it deteriorates into blindsides and personal attacks after the merge. Some Boardwalk Empire nay-sayers have seen Nucky—and in particular Steve Buscemi’s portrayal of Nucky—as one of the show’s biggest weaknesses, since he’s not an overpowering Tony Soprano/Vic Mackey/Al Swearengen type.
There’s also a pretty desperate need, in Van Alden’s life, for maybe another person other than the people he’s currently dealing with. Someone to give him some guidance or perspective. He’s really lost. There’ll be some new characters coming into his life that’ll maybe give him a little bit of direction, and maybe a little bit of peace.
This is telling about how she really feels about Nucky. While unmarried, she still considers him a spouse and feels no guilt about what she needs to do to stay with him and help him. Even though in the eyes of God a relationship with Owen would be the same as one with Nucky, that’s not how she sees it.
