The Soprano's
Without a doubt, the best form of visual entertainment out there these days. I freaking love the Soprano's. I like it better than Lord of the Rings. A couple of comments on the first episode: it's so brilliant, they've laid out the conflict for the entire season - all these mobsters getting out, Chris and Paulie, Johnnie and Tony, Dr. Melf and Tony, Carmella and Anthony, Carmella and Tony (those little looks while the Fish and Game people were around - wonderful). Jesus, they were taunting me with seeing Steve Buscemi in only still picture frames. Love the details in the Soprano's. The egg salad stuck in Carmine's mouth that they try to remove as he has a stroke. The funny battleground of Chris and Paulie over dinner tabs. The clever dialog ref: bowry thugs. The BEAR. How symbolic! And Vinnie Delphino from Doogie Howser as Tony's new boy replacing Furio - who's pretty much a dead man.

God, how will the Soprano's end? Tony has to die. Who's going to get him? Johnnie Sac? Furio? The law - no way. Carmella? Christopher? Ohhhh the possibilities for drama....
