Break on through to the other side of the TV screen!!

This scene is polysemic. It is, indeed, about modernization, the end of that old world, but it's also about Nucky's own death, which now approaches him. "The world to come" awaits him, and an angel of death speaks through this woman's mouth. When he enters the dark tent, he is in the antechamber of Hell.

Nucky’s dad has the perfect accent of an Irishman who’s been in America for many years

How come we never got to see the kids who are supposed to be teenagers like Tommy Darmody in 1931. We would have love to see them being fleshed out more on what their doing right now like Tony Soprano's kids and Don Draper's kids which include Sally getting some more screentime often.

Somone should edit this, he walks in there and its the intro to the sopranos. 😂

This made me kinda realize something. I was about 9 when smartphones really blew up. But even then, when i got my first at 12, i realized how less social it made people. But even before that, early internet (myspace era) and 3d video games made people less social back then. The tech introduces new social outlets, but sometimes we end up ditching old ones. But this scene made me realize how old this social progression goes back. So many things nuckys world orbited around would be replaced by TV. Mysteries from far places, cartoons that the kids' love, performances that delight all ages, all of this that you once had to physically go to (the boardwalk) now is all found comfortably in your own home. I take for granted the 50s as my grandparents' time of youth. But this was a revolution unlike any before, not just a time passed. Tv, the metro complex, magazines, all of these completely uprooted the older, more tightly connected world for a farther spanning, sometimes more lonely, world of socializing. It's fascinating and terrifying. Nucky could never have expected the world to change from how he knew it. Even if his sins didn't kill him off, the world of which he ruled was in its final days, and i doubt he would've been able to adapt. This simultaneously makes me terrified of VR and gives me an urge to buy whatever the newest set is 😬😬😬

Just like in the 1994 film Forest Gump where he bulldozed jennys old father's home!

What episode is this?

Bro that TV doesn’t make any sense, how’s the wheel supposed to fit in that?

This scene reflects CHANGE and a new era as in the rise in power of Luciano and the Italians and their commission something that doesn’t include Nucky. And shows that Nucky’s time is coming to an end and Atlantic City will go on without him

It’s ironic that he sees the vision of the future and his demise the area where he committed his first unforgivable sin.

I hated her character. She always pretended to be better than other people and was just as terrible as the people around her. Opportunistic and ungrateful. Plus, the entire situation was completely unrealistic. I kept thinking to myself watching this show, "Is she the only woman in town?!" As so many men tripped over themselves to be around her or were enamored by her. Who was writing this crap?! She was argumentative and manipulative, and also had children already. History would have supported the notion that most men during this period in time would have avoided her at all cost. Especially a guy with money and power like Nucky.

I’m sorry that you never got to see this tootsie

He should have said" the apple doesn't fall very far, do it pop?

This was the best series ever. Bar none.

I think the television is a Western Television Co. "Empire State". The image was probably inserted, but the image and unit is true to the period. Mechanical television was the rage, but Cathode Ray tube scanning was far superior and in a few years made mechanical scanning obsolete.

Couldnt stand this bleating whiny annoying btch. Wish she had been wacked and stuffed in a box like her irish boyfriend.

Margaret is perhaps the most polarizing character on the show. I myself liked her and find many others who did as well, while others vehemently couldnt stand her and call her the worst character on the show. In a show about gangsters, i think her actions werent any worse than the gangster she was involved with.

I lived in this house when they filmed this.

My reaction to smartphone in 2000

Reminds me of the scene of Buscemi beating the shit out of the TV in Fargo. "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!!!!!!"

Is that Nucky's kid?

"0/10, worst movie I've ever seen."

Man I fucking hated her character

…I watched all that for it to end there?

The one scene in any show that truly speaks to me. The speed of technology is a scary thing. I'm getting too old and slow for it. It's passing me by.

Don't know why particularly, it kinda gave me the CREEPS 😳

Then the necromorph attack him from above!!

I have to say she was looking very fuckable in that last season

I’m glad this bitches kid got hit with polio 😂

I believe that this episode was supposed to be in 1931. If so, the television scene is spot on. There was experimental, mechanical scanned television in 1931 and the picture on the screen is exactly what it looked like back then. A couple of years later, they ditched the mechanical method and went all electronic which produced a much superior picture and then TV took off.

Damnit I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING!!

Hes a great actor BUT not a romantic lead

I was half expecting to scream “this women is a witch!” Lmfao

That’s so cool the background is from a movie called “Metropolis” Probably the best silent film ever made

1:44-2:03 Nucky's entire character is described in just a few sentences.

Margaret is a b*tch

Next up on BWN (The Board walk network): ‘ Lucygoosy kids show’ then brush up on your both gangland body disposal and culinary skills with ‘Cooking with Boychiks ‘ followed by ‘The meet Jesus hour with George Muller’ where each week televangelists George muller introduces various people from all walks of life to Jesus.

I thought that was an assassination attempt

"I have a message for you." The message: *STFU DONNY!!*

This out of context is kind of like a david lynch film. The dialogue, the shots... it actually could be a mini short film from lynch.

Mechanical Spinning Disk television...neat.

Someone needs to edit this to add the Pronhub intro to the TV

I’d switch then for now on a HEARTBEAT

Mechanical television that predates electronic was a nice touch.

Me in 1998 on dial up, looking at a tiny thumbnail of a naked woman in low resolution. panicking that my mom will walk in at any moment.

These little odd sequences like this in the show are what I enjoy because it heavily reminds me of the dreams Tony Soprano would have.
