I loved The Wire and am incredibly glad that I watched it. Once.

I'll probably watch The Sopranos every few years for quite a long time.

I've watched The Sopranos in it's entirety like three times. I think I'm about to start re-watch number 9 for The Wire. I used to think The Wire was superior but I honestly think both are different shows and comparing them is a fools errand. Both do great things.


What are people's thoughts on Bobby Baccala Jr? I feel like he's the one mob character that while he does kill a guy in Montreal, is the only one that I didn't find myself hating at one point or another.

Re: the ending

There's a lot of evidence that Tony died at the end. But is there anything people use to suggest that he didn't die? It seemed like David Chase was pretty clear about it.

I feel like Alan Sepinwall's book "The Revolution was Televised" had the best Tony didn't die at the end theory..

Also in that book, they talk about how they were gonna resolve the disappearing Russian from Pine Barrens.

quote:

They finally hit on an idea everyone would be happy with: Tony and Christopher pay a visit to the local Russian mob boss, where they find Valery sweeping the floor, not recognizing Christopher thanks to a traumatic brain injury suffered when Chris and Paulie were shooting at him. (It would be explained that a local Boy Scout troop found him with part of his skull missing, and saved his life.) At the last minute, Chase changed his mind, and he recalls a despondent Winter insisting, “God, you’re making a huge mistake leaving that on the table!”
