An atypical ”Boardwalk” episode, “Devil You Know” finally loosed the emotional weight pressing upon its seemingly hardened characters, especially Chalky White and Nucky Thompson, but in subtle ways also Al Capone and Eli Thompson. And with the flashback sequences inching closer and closer to where the series began, Nucky is growing more and more in...
In a slightly different approach, this week this will be more like What We Learn About Gillian Darmody this Week. Through the first two seasons of “Boardwalk Empire,” it would have been impossible to imagine that Gillian’s story would contribute more to the show and be more noteworthy in Nucky’s development that that of her son Jimmy. In this week’...
Time and again, Nelson Van Alden has narrowly avoided paying for his actions. He acts on impulse, and violent impulse at that. That is why he killed his partner years ago, and why he melted a man’s face with an iron. But he has also had a way of keeping himself alive, be it by sweet talking Al Capone or striking deals with the Thompsons. In “Devil ...
As if a former public official hitting on two women at a near-empty bar and getting drunk during Prohibition (I bet you forgot purchasing alcohol was illegal, didn’t you?) weren’t disregard for the law enough, Nucky took it one step further. In his edgy and emotional state, he got caught in a bar fight, and he manages to land a few good right hooks...
“This really hurts my feelings.” Al Capone, neither in legend or in his portrayal on “Boardwalk Empire,” is known as a sympathetic man. He shows anger. He shows anger a lot. And he was saddened by the death of his brother Frank. But as far as emotions go, that has been it until “Devil You Know.” Eli and Mueller were trying to steal from him, or so ...
It is becoming apparent that quite often, the final flashback sequence ends to 1931 Nucky waking up. This time he woke up from being knocked-out and robbed by the women from the bar,and he immediately hollars what would otherwise seem like nonsense about a monkey, but ends with a line that will cause a twinge in the spine of anyone who spent the la...
In “Devil You Know,” Al Capone entertains a few friends. They are Paul Muni and George Raft, two Warner Bros. actors best known today for their starring roles in Howard Hughes’ 1932 picture “Scarface.” Inspired by Capone — evident in the title alone — Muni describes what they’re working on as a gangster movie that is “kind of a Shakespearean drama,...
During the most tension-filled scene of the episode, Daughter gives Narcisse a record of her singing to convince him to help find her some work again. With guns drawn and crooked offers made, Chalky has a simple request. He demands Narcisse to put the record on. Daughter’s music was a constant in Season 4, and Chalky, who truly loved her, thirsted ...
With both himself and Eli on the chopping block, Van Alden attacked Al Capone and was subsequently killed. Then, Mike D’Angelo, who forced the two to betray Capone in the first place, lets Eli go free. Be there no confusion, someone in this arrangement made a heck of a flopperoo. Assuming D’Angelo always intended to stand behind those guys, Van Ald...
As if hearing a protagonist say, “Someone I was close to just died” weren’t tragic enough, Nucky ends that though with, “Because of me.” Last week I wrote that having just survived an assassination attempt and hearing the bad news about Sally, Nucky was bound to seek vengeance. The 1931 storyline in “Devil You Know” takes place over the course of a...

Nelson Van Alden was the perfect role for him. Although, after rewatching the show again, one thing that always annoyed me was that he just became a whipping boy for secondary characters to the show after the second season or so. He was such an enigmatic character and after he killed his sales colleagues I thought FINALLY!

Jan 9, 2021 · Deserved Better: Nelson Van Alden Out of all the characters on Boardwalk Empire, Nelson Van Alden underwent the most salient change. His progression from puritanical religious zealot to intimidating muscle for mobsters made Van Alden a fascinating character to watch, but his story became increasingly orbital to the main events of the series.
