This was definitely my favorite. I just watched it again recently. 十人十色 | |||

Best show ever. I love the ending. It is just like life - you don't know what will happen or how things will turn out. I love the unresolved future. Some think they can "prove" what happens in the diner, but you can't. There is no way to know, unambiguously, what took place. And that is another reason why the end was brilliant. Each viewer can see it how they like. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I watched The Sopranos off an on. Does it seem "dated" now? Try The Wire. Best TV drama ever, but alas, feels dated. | |||

I've never seen it. How has it aged? Obviously it's still worth checking out, based on the posts here.  “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

He must be a young guy.LOL They used pay phones and landlines. Series like this are timeless. It is like saying The Godfather has aged. | |||

Agree, absolutely loved sopranos. There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't. | |||

Likely the greatest series of all time. The thing I still wonder about till this very day. What happened to the freaking Russian? That was so set up for him to return and during the series often found myself wondering when he would show back up. As for comparing it to Breaking Bad, not even close I thought BB was complete crap. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

I like The Wire better, fwiw. I've watched it a couple of times through. But a lot of the things that are great about The Wire, the Sopranos has too. They share some common themes. Sopranos can't match character for character though, imo. Breaking Bad, to me, is not even in the same conversation as these two. Both The Wire and Sopranos are dated but the themes are eternal. I watched The Wire much later than it aired as well. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

"Opinions vary" In my book, BB is pretty much on par with The Sopranos, with the writing in BB being superior, IMHO. The Wire was OK , but I only watched most of seasons 1-2. I might revisit the series later on.

It doesn't matter. It changes nothing, for me, knowing whether he is dead or not. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Supposedly the reason there is a blackout and he doesn't hear the bell ring when meadow comes in is because he gets shot from behind by the guy who went to the bathroom. That guy came in with numbnuts, the son, and therefore didn't get as much scrutiny by Tony as some of the others did when they came in... ------------------ SBrooks | |||

There was a conversion when Tony and Bobby were talking on the boat at the lake, where they discussed what happens when you die and bobby said everything goes black. Quote “At the end, you probably don’t hear anything, everything just goes black,” Bobby says while they sit fishing in a small boat on a lake. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||
