I saw my first ever Sopranos episode last night, and it was incredible. (Yes, I know I'm a johnny come lately on this--not having cable is kind of a bummer sometimes.) Anyhow, the episode was thick with religous imagery, and had great acting and production values. Tony had been shot the previous episode and was now in some strange purgatory place and while there gets slapped on the mouth by a buddhist monk! I'm not sure what it all means yet but I'm hooked after one episode. I am going to have to wait until after finals, however, to get on the DVD marathon program.
