Adrianna!?

Every time I watch The Sopranos I wonder why. I hate the show. It's got to be about the most depressing hour on television every week. And it's Sunday night, too; could there be a worse night? As if you're not already bummed enough that the weekend is over and you have to go back to work, if you're a Sopranos fan you also have to cope with another heart-wrenching episode, on the edge of your seat for an hour wondering who's gonna stab who in the back (literally and/or metaphorically). But that's also why it's so great—it's probably the most compelling, possibly the best written and acted show on tv. The characters are so well developed by now that I care way too much about what happens to them. Ah, Adrianna! Sure, the writing was on the wall, but that doesn't make it any easier.

Yeah. I'm not surprised that she's dead, but I am surprised that Chris gave her up. I'm also surprised that Tony B is still alive.

Still, better than the dream sequence, when Chase got all "Six Feet Under" on us :)

Why did Tony B have to be such a screwup!? What a disappointment. See, that's why I love to hate the show -- every time something potentially good seems to be happening, something else happens to make sure the good is double-outweighed by the bad. Is that like life, or is it memorex?

Skip the Sopranos and watch Deadwood instead. It can be fairly dark, as well, but way more fun.
