Sopranos Ending and HBO New Beginning

I don't think anyone believed it would ever happen or didn't want to make themselves think it would happen but its OVER. There were many overtones of politics, superstition, death, life and the search involved in the finale leaving us hanging on a cliff like Sylvester Stallone. I personally enjoyed the ending unlike 90% of the people I have spoken to about the episode. Not sure as the the whole Meadow parking issue but AJ obviously gave into his need of material things. Anyway, Here is a blog with some intersting thoughts on the finale and we will probably never know the meaning of the ending, unless of course you bed David Chase the creator.

John fron Cincinatti:


On a lighter note, I felt like the premiere of "John from Cincinatti" was a sizzler. It appears to be a show very likely of a hit due to the writing, scenery, actors a person with a huge drug addiction and such.

Synapsis:

On the shores of a rundown coastal town, a lonely figure is surfing: Mitch Yost, patriarch of a legendary surfing clan. He's watched by two men: Linc, a surf entrepreneur looking to sponsor Mitch's 13-year-old grandson Shaun; and a young stranger. Later, Mitch rinses off by his station wagon--and levitates. Meanwhile, a haunted veteran named Vietnam Joe drives the stranger to the Snug Harbor Motel, a decrepit structure overseen by Ramon, the Mexican caretaker. The motel has recently been sold to a lottery winner named Barry Cunningham, who plans to demolish it. But Snug Harbor has one holdout tenant: Butchie Yost, Shaun's father and son of Mitch, once a great surfer in his own right but now a drug-addicted derelict. After mistaking the stranger for a drug contact, Butchie learns that the youth's name is John--and that he has plenty of money and a platinum credit card. As Butchie heads off with John to make some purchases, Mitch's wife Cissy gets arrested for getting snippy with a megastore employee. Meanwhile, Shaun and Bill, a neurotic family friend, are detoured to Snug Harbor, where a motley scenario is unfolding. Butchie, who challenged Mitch over the phone, is now face-to-face with his irate father, but the pair's imminent clash is upstaged by Barry, who has a past with Butchie--and a gun. (TVMA) (AC,AL)
