Two Episodes Left

Watched The Shield last night, I had DVR'd it from the evening before but was too busy to get to it.

I am going to withhold judgment thus far to see how the last two episodes are handled but it seems right now that the writers are dragging this out longer than it should have been done. It has gotten very nuanced when it was more hard hitting and gritty. The snappiness isn't there right now.

Hoping that the writers came up with such an extraordinary finish for the series that it took a lot of nuance to get it to this point for the slam bang finish this series deserves. I am positive of one thing though, they won't Soprano it. There will be a conclusion and it will probably make as many people angry as it will satisfy them.

I'm sure that all of the characters will have their own conclusion, Vic, Ronnie, Shane, Julian, Claudette, Dutch all of them will have their characters wrapped up somehow, it just might not be as satisfying as we would like it.

Sons of Anarchy continues to impress. This young show has gotten more interesting by the week. It also has two more shows left and it seems that Clay is becoming more isolated by his criminal decisions. Jackson is finding his moral compass while still treading down a bloody path. The rest of the gang has their own little arcs but generally follow the main arc. It is clear though that Clay and Jacks will be at odds very soon though.
