Sopranos?
« on: October 23, 2008, 04:32:44 am »
Did anyone else watch the Sopranos?
I own the whole DVD collection, I've watched every episode back to back 3-4 times and I just recently started watching the episodes with commentary.
What did you think of the series? The last episode?

The best and the best.  I really hate 'Don't Stop Believin'' but the show brought it up a peg.

I caught the whole thing on DVD after the last episode had aired, so of course I knew generally how it would end, but it was still brilliant, as was the entire series.

Hey, did I hear about the BBC series The Singing Detective here? I can't find the thread. If I did, thanks to the imaginary person who recommended it. Also brilliant.

No, did it come with anything unique? I did get the nice Sopranos Complete Book for Christmas though, its been a pretty informative read so far, Id recommend it.

Not sure if it has anything unique. I was hoping someone here could answer it...or I could do a bit of clicking around. I don't own the seasons yet but I've heard that the packaging for the set is kind of obnoxious.

Yeah, those HBO shows seasons are ridiculously expensive though.  The Wire sold for like $75  season, and they released a five season box set for 150, I think.  What I am saying is it might be a lot cheaper.

I have all seasons of The Wire and was able to get each for less that $50. I bought the second season used (sorry wombat, and David Simon) but the rest new. Still cheaper though, you're right. But it's not too hard to get deals on individual seasons. Which reminds me, I need to find out if there is anything unique in The Wire box.

They only time I bought a season was for my dad, for christmas, so it was kind of rushed, at a store (not the internet) and in a rich suburb, but that 150 is still cheap, I was thinking of buying it for my dad once I get a job. 

I download all my things without regret, so, well I don't care.

I got the boxed set.  It's alright, all the discs and descriptions come in this big binder book.

There isn't much to say about it.  It's very black.  The only real surprise is that it comes with the Peppers and Eggs 2CD soundtrack that came out during the third season, I think.
