[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.
If you step away from the straight line narrative and hold it up it's like a map for the entire series.
Yeah, that's a big part of the basis for my "nothing really changes" interpretation, all those little flashbacks.
But then there's the credits rolling without music, and that's just unsettling.

I think they did that before in the episode where Dr. Melfi got raped.
Another song I neglected to mention: that was Little Feat playing when they entered the diner.
Deadwood season 3 is out on DVD today.
WOO-fuckin-HOO!
But then there's the credits rolling without music, and that's just unsettling.
But that's one of the classic ways to unsettle your audience... Don't play music where they're expecting it.
See: The Body.
Well, yes, I'm just saying that the deliberate unsettlingness does not support my nothing-changes hypothesis. Unless everything is always unsettling, which it sort of is, so, I don't know.

Ahahahahaha!!!!
If Harry Potter ended like The Sopranos (so yes, it spoils the Sopranos): [link]
Dudes, that was a rocking episode of Entourage. I really enjoyed that. Billy Walsh is such a crazy motherfucker, and I wish E hadn't been so passive, but he made up for it when he called Billy on his bullshit.
And I can't wait to see what Ari says about a film where his prettyboy crown jewel spends two hours looking overweight and mustachioed on America's screens.
I remarked elsewhere that Vinnie looked like he'd wandered out of an old Beastie Boys video.
Hee! That's very true. I bet Adrien had a kick-ass time with that. And the boys had a hell of a time teasing him for it.
I've watched the first two episodes of John from Cincinnati and I can't decide if I like it or not. Some of the acting is awkward in a David Mamet sort of way (John, Ed O'Neil's character, the new motel owner), but I'm intrigued enough by the where-the-hell-is-this-going-to-go-ishness of the premise that I think I'll stick with it for a while. Plus, I read co-creator's Kem Nunn's novel "Tapping the Source" around 20 years ago and really liked it.
