'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
From the way back article on Deadwood:
Milch also addressed the anger that rose up among “Deadwood” fans when word leaked out last year that the show’s third season might be its last, in part due to Milch’s commitments to “John from Cincinnati,” a series about a surfing family’s encounter with a possible alien.
An alien? Like Mork?
OMG, y'all. Milch is using again. "This is an intervention, you coke-sniffing cocksucker." Okay..."interesting" premise, there.
I like the ads for John from Cincinnati. The premise doesn't grab me the way Deadwood did, but I am intrigued.
Of all the upsetting things happening on the Sopranos, it's the sound of duck calls while the guy dumps the asbestos that is haunting me.
I just caught up from ep 3 through last week's Sopranos. And damn, I don't know what when down last night, but last week's Sopranos was about the most tightly constructed episode I can recall.
I watched last week's and last night's one after the other, so let me take a moment to separate the two in my head.
Right. Yes. That was sharp and compelling. And the end completely took me by surprise but seemed almost inevitable once it had happened.

That was some dark shit. Did anybody else expect Homer's coyote spirit guide with the voice of Johnny Cash to appear for Tony?
I'm trying to think of the Maximum Pain Exit Strategy at this point. Maybe Meadow dying in Tony's arms on the opera house steps while the camera cranes back. Tony throwing a knife through Carm's throat? Antony ambushed at a toll plaza? Piano wire around Paulie's throat from behind in the car?

Tony gets nibbled to death by ducks. Poetic closure that would be.

Totally.
Caught up on the Sopranos. Whoa.
Caught up on the Sopranos. Whoa.
And you gotta figure that's just a prelude to the end. That it's ramping up rather than that's the whole emotional payoff.
But man, that was a dead shark eye look in Tony's face when he did the nose pinch.
