    Much like Dexter, I rejoiced at the end of True Blood thinking "at least I never have to watch this crap again".

    Nope. Never had any interest in the show. Haven't seen a single episode other than maybe 10-15 minutes at a friend's house.

    I've watched that season 3 times now, absolutely love that show.

    Thought the show peaked too soon in the middle. Ending was still very good but it was a tad anti climatic.

    The Flash and Agents of Shield were both great tonight.

    Also, I think I'm going to start The Wire soon. The Sopranos has always been my favorite HBO show but I have pretty high expectations for this one.

    Flash was great. Everytime I think I have Wells figured out they throw a curveball.

    The Wire is freaking awesome. Takes a few episodes to really get going but once it does it's an amazing ride. Doesn't quite top Sopranos in my book though.

    That preview for the rest of the season though...holy crap.

    Yeah I love The Sopranos, probably watched it at too early of an age so I'm going back through the series again. Decided to finish that and then try out The Wire. If it's anything close to it at least then I'll be happy.

    I'm actually getting ready to run through The Sopranos again. It's been several years since I last watched it and I've been getting the itch. It's definitely my favorite TV drama of all time.

    I actually wouldn't argue with anyone who said The Wire is the better written and more consistent show. But I just love the characters on The Sopranos and that whole world so much. So that makes me a lot more forgiving of the lulls or like that stupid dream episode.

    The Wire is entirely different than The Sopranos.
    Sopranos borrows a lot from Goodfellas, Bronx Tale, Mean Streets etc early on and is immediately familiar to to fans of Scorcese mafia fantasy tales, complete with the ridiculously OTT personalities etc. The story, especially in the beginning is even told in a similar fashion so it hooks ya right off.
    The Wire takes a minute to establish itself but the payoff in the end is so much more.

    Last night on The Hulk, Mackenzie Phillips was a troubled, David Bowie-esque rock star. She gave Bruce Banner a job as a roadie and he transformed into the Hulk on stage and saved her from getting electrocuted.

    Now THAT'S quality television.
