Why I am a bit annoyed with The Sopranos
Spoilery. Kinda.
I am annoyed with The Sopranos series finale. Not because I think that David Chase is trying to mess with our expectations, or because it is unsatisfying or any of the various opinions making the rounds. No, I am specifically annoyed because last night, as we were watching the final moments, our DVR stopped, it's recording at the end. Yes, mere moments before the ending of the series, during a scene that had us nervous as cats. After my shrieks of dismay had subsided, I set it up to tape again at 12:30 and went to bed. Where I couldn't sleep because I kept wondering "Who will die? All of them? Tony? Meadow? What horrible fate awaits the Soprano clan as they munch their onion rings?". No, seriously, my thoughts kept me awake for a ridiculously long time. So, this morning, as I ate my breakfast, I sped through the re-taped episode to the end and got to just before where the tape had cut off previously.
10 seconds later, the episode ended. Just ended. Maybe it's brilliant. Maybe it's crap. But damn...I lost sleep over that?

Awww! That totally sucks!
*shakes fist at traitorous DVR*
(I've never seen The Sopranos, but I've been reading about this finale all over the place today.)
Sign me up with Min. I've not watched one episode, but I've certainly heard about the finale. And I think you have the best reason to be miffed of everyone ;)
