Tony Soprano and 500 hits

For the last five weeks, I've been watching The Sopranos over again.  I believe this is my third full viewing of the series, and it's still unbelievably entertaining.  Between the awesome Italian you get to learn, in addition to amazing characters and plot lines and story arcs, there is so much to digest within the 6 + 1 seasons and 84 episodes.

I randomly saw this through a web link and after watching the series again with its freshness on my mind, I'd have to say this is one of my favorite episodes.  Tony, battling major depression (so much that he'd been prescribed lithium by his shrink) is almost capped, a hired-out hit job ordered by his own Uncle Junior. The scene captures the show's artistic, humorous, and dramatic side all in less than two minutes. I love how Tony laughs after he realizes he defeated his would-be assassins, then plunges into a car accident -- his third or fourth of the series.

Also, "So here's the 4-1-1" has been lingering on 497 hits for the last few days.  Although probably half of those hits are from myself, it's astonishing to think that, over the past year, I've managed to have so many readers, both intentional and random.  My blog tracker shows that I've incurred traffic from Colombia, Brazil, Russia, Germany, the UK, and Canadia. Amazing.  As always, thanks for reading.
