grindmonkehI had to link this...it just hits way too close to home. And it's simply brilliant. -The NERD Handbook-
Just about the only part that I can't directly parallel myself to is the stigma of being socially inept. In that regard I can disguise my nature.
On an unrelated note, I finished the last of The Sopranos Season 6 last night.
*spoiler...*
I won't complain a bit about the lack of finality in the finale like a lot of people apparently have. It was bold, and now as a viewer I'm intentionally left to create the future of Tony Soprano based on what I know about him...and more importantly...how I have identified with the different aspects of his character and what they make me WANT to happen to him. As it were. If you will. James Gandolfini pulled off the character so well. He enacted a monster that you often liked and cheered for. I haven't decided how it ends...there's a duality to me that *is* the ending.
It's a shame I had to wait so long for the final run of episodes. The continuity was overtly jarring not only by the delay between seasons, but by the delay in dvd availability. The subplots became disjointed. However I can still say that overall I loved most of it. HBO has raised the bar with the most intelligent and engaging writing on the air. (It's a shame that Deadwood is unlikely to return. Ian McShane ftw.) When shows like this end I feel like I've lost old friends.
I'm going to start reading now all the theories and explanations of the finale that I've been dodging since the Sopranos final episode aired. Any thoughts?
