Entourage and Soprano *Spoiler*

Sunday again we were treated with two of the best shoes on Television. First of all I would like to say that Sopranos is the best show ever to not give away the endings. If you have followed the first 6 seasons than you will know that the first 2/3 of the season just set up the many possibilities of what may happen leaving the viewer guessing on what may come. Well this season has been no different and since we know these are the last episodes ever, it leaves you wonderering even more. The big storyline last night was two-fold. First A.J. for the first time looks like he may have a role in the family business. This is very significant because with no ideal successor, AJ could have a prominent role in the future of the family. The other big storyline last night was between Christopher and Paulie and the feud that has been raging. The writers kind of toyed with the idea that Chrissy might go to the feds, but that seems unlikely considering, what i tyrant that kid is. His future with the family is a little unclear now but I still think he is the most likely successor to T and I believe either him or Phil will be taking out Paulie. I would also like to say that Tony made his first cooperative move with the feds giving them some info on a possible terrorist attack. I think this could play an important part in the finish. I will also say that the whack at the end of yesterdays episode was the most shocking that I have seen on the show and dont really know if it was neccassary but I guess it reiterates the fact that Chris is a hot head and you can never really tell with his character. I am truly dissapointed with Meadow this year why even bring her back if she is going to have two lines an episode. I was a little dissapointed there was no Phil or no JR. so this episode wasnt great but it set us up for some more fireworks.

Entourage was decent, but not great again. Finally the return of Ari as the agent seems iminent. I mean that cannot have this show unless Ari is the Vince's agent. Even though the deal for Medallian finally died once and for all. Amanda cut ties with Vince when he put his career in front of his relationship with her. I still think she will play an important role in the show but I think it is clear that Vince needs to get Ari back working for him. Though it seems Ari needs Vince less than Vince needs Ari at this point. Next week I think will be the premier of Dramas movie which i think is going to be a big hit. THink Band of Brothers for Donny Whalberg. Eric and Turle have been pretty pointless so far this year and I think the writers have had problems creating some side stories to keep all the actors involved. I think Eric is going to find Vince his next project. Again this season has been all style and no substance as there was a great cameo performance by Adam Goldberg last night but it really didnt enhance the story. This show has quickly fallen from first to about fifth in my rank of HBO television shows with Deadwood quickly sky rocketing.
