Anybody catch the season premiere of "The Sopranos" last night? I thought it was pretty good. Quite a shocking ending for a premiere episode. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. Two years was wayyyy too long between seasons.



I also watched the premiere of "Big Love" after "The Sopranos". It's about a polygamist with three wives in Utah. Starring Bill Paxton of "Game over, man! Game over!" from Aliens fame. It wasn't bad.



What did y'all think of these two?:huh:

The Sopranos, was great! very true about the ending I was shocked! And yes 2 years = WAY to long!! After watching it and the Big Love premier I went to the basement and smoked a CAO Sopranos edition cigar! Been waiting for a couple of months for the season premier to kick off to smoke that bad boy! It was pretty good!



Big Love was interesting to say the least. One hand tells me the guy is lucky to have all three of those women lusting after him everyday the way they seem to. The other hand says he has 3x the BS to put up with!! hahah I'll watch it again next week to see how it develops. I want to know when Carnival comes back on!
 
Sopranos was great, as usual. I wasn't interested in Big Love, PMS from one wife once a month is enough.:lol:
 
This appears to be a new trend. I read a story on one of the news sites this weekend about an organization that is attempting to make polygamy legal, just as others are seeking for gay marriage. Give us another 50 - 100 years and it will be legal to sleep with/marry anyone.



I for one could stand just one wife. My ex was enough hassle for me. of course she was :wacko:



 
"Big Love was interesting to say the least. One hand tells me the guy is lucky to have all three of those women lusting after him everyday the way they seem to."



That was more about the wives competition among themselves than about them wanting to have sex every night. They want to make sure that one is not getting anything more than the others.



This show starts out seeming to be about one man's life that is becoming a hell on earth. It seems more of an anti-poligamy program that anything else. It's about to show us what hell that will be. 3 wives, three families, all competing for one dad's time, attention and resources.



That's just what I'd want 3 wives with 3 times the woman stuff to deal with. Not worth it in ant way. :rolleyes:
 
Sopranos was very good...but I pretty much knew the ending with Uncle Junior went upstairs. And, I expected the suicide before that too. I guess for a shoking episode I wasn't shocked much.



As for Big Love...I DVRed it, and watched Grey's Anatomy instead, THEN watched Big Love at 11...and fell asleep 1/2 way through and had to rewind. It was okay, not great.



Sopranos was great.



BTW, it's a long Sopranos season with a break in the middle. 12 episodes, then a break, then the remaining 8...and, unless you live under a rock, you already heard, this IS the last season.

Tony will be in the hospital recovering from the gunshot and upon reflection decide to let the other guy go to Florida, then he'll find out the guy hung himself, feel bad for about 10 minutes, and talk to Dr. Melfi about it. I could write this stuff.
 
Sopranos-

think about it guys..... there was No preview for next week.....

a lot has happened in the past 2 years (we didn't see it, yet).

The director is pulling a George Lucas (Star Wars) thing on us.

They showed the last episode first.... now the rest will get filled in the rest of the season.

Actually, Rob,



***SPOILER WARNING ****



I read in Entertainment Weekly that almost 2 of the first 4 episodes for this new season are almost entirely spent with Tony in a dream-sequence (and we know how wierd those can be). I assume that is him in a coma or heavily medicated after the gunshot.



Expect him back by the 4th episode.



TJR
 
Yup, for those who didn't see last nights episode...Tony survived, but is in a coma now and could go either way, but is expected to die.



And MOST of the episode was a Tony dream sequence, of him, living a different life, as a different Tony Soprano selling optics or somesuch and attending a sales convention.



Very cool symbolism in his dream...
 
I laughed at the part in the hospital waiting room when they're talking about the guy who shot himself and the closeted gay mobster says to Carmella "Maybe he was gay and didn't have anyone to talk to about it." Carmella looks at him like :blink: where the heck did that come from?
