The Sopranos

Awesome. An excellent way to burn 85 hours of my life.

May I recommended reading the Wikipedia entry immediately after each episode? Watch out for spoilers.

Hmmm. Now what? I have this empty feeling now. Not as bad as the one I had after re-reading Harry Potter (Harry Potter? omfg) for the 3rd time, but still.

I love gangster movies, and this one is like a really really really long gangster movie. I wanted some sort of like magnificent epic ending to tie it all up, but I guess that isn't Sopranos. It's about the daily grind of being in the mob.

Cool ending though.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the whole series at least three times through now. I was eyeing my DVDs the other day, too...might be time to bring it out again. Totally get the empty feeling, too. (And, yes, for Harry Potter too, you bastards.)

I don't understand how people can not like the ending. Well, I guess I do, but they are WRONG. The more I think about it, the more I think it literally could not have been better.

Guys, watch THE WIRE. Fucking awesome, no doubt. Then my Clay Davis jokes will make more sense here. SHHEEEEEEEEEIT!

Got all the DVDs for The Wire, too. Seen it twice or three times through now. Thing is, while I can't decide if it's fundamentally better than The Sopranos (it probably is), it's a lot more demanding. So there are times when I'm just not in the mood for The Wire, but I'm never not in the mood for The Sopranos.

But I'm always in the mood for Clay Davis. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiit.

LOL!! "YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE McNULTY!!" That show has so many memorable characters. While most of them were unlikable, I still cared what happened to them. The rise and fall of Stringer Bell was just epic.

What's the purpose of that? What do these entries have?

Apparently Sopranos has a lot of deep symbolism embedded in each episode. While the Wikipedia entries don't touch on all of them, they touch on enough to make you see that there is a lot under the surface. I never catch these when I watch it, so it helps me appreciate the show on another level when I read the Wikipedia entries.

They leave a lot of things unsaid too, and sure things are interpreted differently by people, but I like to see another point of view.
