Sopranos Delivers and Then Some
Blown away by a combination of "Sopranos" and "Entourage" tonight on HBO.
Both were excellent. The drama was happening with twists and laughs and a frequent references to the past. Fast and furious. Spinning OOC ["out-of-control"]. Real father/son stuff between Tony and AJ, "banking goodwill"( I wanna 5-K letter!) and breakthroughs w/ Dr. Melphi. Meadow is alive and concerned, and had a mystery date. Adrinana a "problem to deal with," Give, give, give poisoned the relationship. The Bing is AJ's way back! Tony sez it's a face-to-face business. OMG Chris and Paulie. Nasty. And a slip and then a face-to-face shooting after "Chris, you're in the Mafia." Freakin' AMAZING.
Entourage keeps it up. Then the Adrian and his "love bracelet,"and boys get a couple of screwballs and it's all on a holiday, the Day of Antonement. Feh. His daughter has to atone for "ratting Daddy out," Ari's working it anyway. But moving into fine new territory. Another great showcase of characters and stars. Clever and unpredictable. Old Uncle "Bad Jew" Shelley wants to nosh. Even Johnny's gift horse subplot bit works. And Amanda is on top and she leaves Him.
Both shows fulfilled pent-up anticipation and potential. Brilliant, entertaining episodes.
