Dude, go with Entourage, not because the series is better than the Sopranos, but everyone in the U.S. that wasn't in a coma knows what happened at the end of The Sopranos.Quote:

That's pretty true. I hear that Entourage has a lot of hot chicks. Lost seems like too much work. Tough choice.

but more importantly it's in the actual editing of the final scene: bell rings, close up of Tony's face, then point-of-view shot. this is repeated several times until: bell rings, close up of Tony's face, blank screen instead of point-of-view because he is dead.
Meadow failed to park the car twice just like there have been two unsuccessful attempts on Tony's life. the third time she is successful, just like the third and final attempt on Tony's life.
Yeah, speaking of the Sopranos, "Meadow" is actually in it too. So, she's hot.Quote:

That literally is most of the story line though, but it is definitely good.
Lost is something I want to start watching but I feel way too far behind.
The good thing about Entourage too is its only 12 episodes per season so it's shorter than Lost.
I also want to start watching Dexter.
That makes no sense whatsoever. If it was a "the story goes on" ending, we wouldn't see it just turn black and silent immediately. He's fucking dead.Quote:

And the dispute between how it ended just goes to show how good the last episode was (and really the way they gave subtle hints/clues and foreshadowing is great)
Regardless of what you think or what the directors meant to happen, it makes people still talk about it long after its finale.
If it wasn't for torrents I imagine I may buy the Sopranos DVD set at some point in my life.
BTW, he was killed. :wakeup
yeah, I'm going to have to buy it too.Quote:

He, and they, will always struggle to try to enjoy the normal everyday family moments that the rest of us take for granted, because he has to constantly be looking up every time that door opens...
also, I just started watching The Wire, the characters aren't as good, but I'm liking the show as a whole more than the Sopranos so far.
but damn, there'll never be another show like:
You woke up this morning. Got yourself a gun, Mama always said you'd be the chosen one. ...
I agree, I loved the ending and the series as a whole..I wasn't a big fan of Season 6 by the usual Sopranos standards, but I loved the rest..
I like Entourage too(for those that were talking about it before), it's good that the show is only a half-hour and doesn't have too many episodes..it makes it a lot more appealing IMO..
The Wire is a great show too, one of the best shows ever IMO..most HBO shows are quality, OZ was a great show too, until about the end of season 4..
i thought some of the same things after i first saw the finale, but go back and watch season six again and it becomes obvious. David Chase wanted to end Tony's story without giving the casual viewer the joy of a bloody end, so he put Tony's death into the editing.Quote:

bell rings. Tony's face. blank screen for Tony's point of view because he has been shot.
it's the only explanation that makes sense and David Chase has almost admitted as much.

my favorite is the old man with the Boy Scouts, who is reminiscent of Phil Leotardo, makes his hand into a gun as he sits down at his table... Phil had dozens of soldiers in his family and his death wasn't going to go unavenged.
and watch the guy in the Member's Only jacket when he goes into the bathroom... he's going to have a clear shot at Tony when he comes out.
don't mourn Tony too much... he was a sociopath after all.
Six Feet Under is an all time classic (though it wasn't the same after season 2) and Big Love is pretty solid.
I am NOT going to TIVO the Spurs, but just will watch the Sopranos straight up...The SPURS might lose from Oklahoma tonite /in the way they have been playing in the last 2 games/.Quote:
