I'm enjoying TWOP's write-ups of The Wire (although I have serious recap envy), but I still find their Sopranos recaps to be a baffling mismatch between writer and subject. For a show that so much about subtle interactions, dream logic, and oblique symbolism, having such a literal-minded recapper on the case is doing these final episodes a serious disservice.

Wrod. Second both emotions, bunk. Also, will be glad when that guy is finally gone from Justice so I can stop feeling cheated by hearing "McNulty" on the news cause it's Fredo's boy not my man Bushy Top.Jimmy would never get in trouble *backing up* his boss' bullshit. My poor hormones have the whiplash.

I know, that is so confusing! I hear "McNulty" and think "What did he really do that they pinned this on him for?" and then I remember that it's not him.

I might respect him just a bit if they asked him was he involved and he said "Yes. No. Maybe." I love shoutouts, but I'd hate to see Patrick Leahy's head explode. I get excited every time I hear his name and disappointed every time it's...to use a technical term "that fuckhead from Justice". Wonder if Fredo likes dots...he seems like the type.

I would laugh and laugh and laugh if he got sent to the Coast Guard or auditing ports or something - anything to do with boats. Or even if, say, Jon Stewart said he did.

So, that was the season finale of Entourage and the new season starts in two weeks? That's hard to process.

I can't believe there's only one hour of Sopranos left. The final shot of the door may be the most haunting shot in all 80-something hours.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
You know, I'm actually delighted that season four is starting in two weeks. It was ridiculous scheduling, but anything that gives me more boys it alright with me.

Any of y'all caught up on the Sopranos yet? I want to share my anticipation and dread with beloved virtual friends.
