Sorry for this one being put up so late; been one of those days at work! As such, I'll keep this tie up for two days rather than one.
 
As the Sopranos is the only thing that can close to threatening The Wire, i have to vote for the A Team.
Guns, Grenades, Bombs loads of violence but no blood and nobody died. Fantastic.

I remember a helicopter crashing into a cliff and exploding and we all thinking wow someone has actually died. Then they got out of it :smile:
 
Decided to focus on one particular scene for this one, and it's pretty revealing so, if you're not interested in spoilers, look no further and take my word for it.

Yes, that is Omar Little before he became Omar Little, but ignore that. This is a great scene as it exemplifies Jackie's predicament to a tee. He grows impatient and moves too early, and hasn't the wherewithal to stick with the game, deciding to lash out. Omar lambasts him, saying he should've stuck it out, as it's the only way he'd learn. David Chase does this throughout the series, using what might seem like a really minor incident or scene to hint at the wider scenario that the character finds his or herself in. It's only when you watch it again that you see the minor subtleties that Chase adds.

This is why The Sopranos shouldn't just win this round, it should win the whole contest.

Also, you'll be amazed at how many now-prominent actors/actresses had minor roles. I genuinely had no idea Michael Williams was in this until I rewatched it recently.
 
Come on CB should be enjoying this and saying "I love it when a plan comes together!"
 
I really need to watch The Soprano's.


As I've never seen it I had to vote A-Team as I used to love it when I was a kid, although it hasn't aged very well.
