Didn't watch the Sopranos (I did DVR, but I'm seasons behind on it, so I probably should just wait for DVDs), but I did watch Entourage. Loved seeing Carla Guigino (sp?) again (I always love seeing her - can we PLEASE get Karen Sisco DVDs).

Can someone tell me why the hell Debi Mazar gets such a prominent credit? Am I not recognizing her or something, because I'm pretty sure I didn't see her at all last night (and I swear she was only on for 5 minutes spread throughout the entire last season).

I hate that I'm missing the Sopranos but we're back to no HBO and my usual connect forgot to tape it for me. I ahemmed a couple of Deadwood episodes that I missed last year and my ISP called me to say that HBO put my ISP address on a list of naughty ahemmers (we agreed that it was almost certainly the fault of the college kids next door taking advantage of my unsecured wireless network, wink wink), so I don't think I'll be doing that anymore.

Woah, not fun! I've heard HBO is pretty paranoid about that, but so far I've been able to watch my shows without drawing attention. Knock wood.

Yeah, I choked on that a bit. Especially since I was an HBO subscriber at the time but didn't get on-demand, which would have solved my problem. What would be best for everyone is HBO finally working out a deal with iTunes. I'd gladly pay double their normal rate for episodes. Triple, even.

I had this post about how Debi Mazar has been in, like, everything, and she's a really well-known and accomplished actress, and scoring her for a minor role in an ensemble drama is quite the cachet, hence her name being in the main title sequence. But I just watched Entourage, and my mind is a little hazy with glee at seeing these characters on my screen again. I thought it was hilarious how they were treating the whole thing like a breakup. It's just the perfect metaphor that's not even really a metaphor because that is basically what happened.

Dude, WTF about HBO? That's insane, Corwood.

That's no way to treat no citizen, HBO. I too love Christopher the screenwriter...one of my favorite moments comes early on when he says he bought the screenwriting program cause he figured "it would do a lot of it."

Oof. Wire, S4, "Homerooms". Killing me.

Man.

You know, I'd give a lot to know what exactly went on in Carcetti's head when he decided to blow the whistle on Hamsterdam.

If not "This will make me mayor," then what?

I don't know. The look on his face when he walked down the street alone was so conflicted, it seems like he must have had quite a conversation with himself to come to the decision.

Yeah, I was being a little flippant. But I do think that Carcetti has a couple of little people on his shoulders, one of whom that cares about Baltimore and fixing its problems and the other that says, "Governor in two years". I don't know which one has the halo and which one the horns, though.
