  1. I think the reason for Dr Melfi refusing to seek retribution, via Tony's crew was that she wanted to remain on the moral high ground, and not get sucked into that seedy Italian underworld, that deep down she despised.

    As for the ending, well it was foreshadowed very early on and then reiterated later by Bobby Bacala on the fishing boat. The whole "You never see it coming " thing and "everything goes black" .

    This is also touched upon in the scene where Silvio is sat at the restaraunt table . The gunshot induced deafness and being covered in blood before he even realised that the guy opposite had been whacked.

    If you rewatch the ending and pay attention to how Chase uses POV shots it's pretty clear what happens and for me is a stroke of genius. It probably isn't the ending the fans wanted but for me that was the point.

    Another line people tend to forget, which I believe is crucial to the story, and what happened "after" the final scene is when Tony says "There's only two ways a guy like me ends up - in jail, or dead".

    The idea he got off with the charges and continued his life like he previously had is nonsense.

  2. How slow is the start of The Wire? I watched the first two episodes and in all honesty it didn't get me at all. In saying that I watched the first episode of The Sopranos, stopped halfway through and went on about my own business for about 6 months before watching a number of episodes..

  3. I've only watched the Wire, but I absolutely love it. It's fantastic, HBO make some bitchin' TV.

    I was reading about HBO and they do throw some money at these big shows, which is why everyone loves them so much.

    I've only watched The Sopranos but I adore that show. I actually have the first two seasons of The Wire, but I have not managed to watch it yet. Should I be watching it immediately? :lol:

    If you have them already, it would be ridiculous to not watch them.

    Yeah, these recent HBO productions are becoming very cinematic. Boardwalk Empire and The Pacific in particular.

    Will do.

    Yeah, that is what I read from the review about Boardwalk Empire. HBO really push the boat out so you know it will be fantastic.

    I put off watching The Sopranos for months. HBO also have Boardwalk Empire out, which seems to be good.

  5. Once Eck leaves those jokes they are screwed.

    Who's Eck?..

    Birmingham have one of the best goalkeepers and central defensive partnerships in the league. Foster, Dann and Johnson. If you put those 3 into our current team..

    They are the only 3 players I'd consider to be 'above' that club though.

    Big Eck, whatever. :?
