I don't like being offered your two choices, and that they are the only two possible candidates for discussion. It's either one or the other, eh? That triggers every rebellious nerve in my body and makes me want to fight back.
It's a trait I picked up as a young lad from watching reruns of "The Prisoner," watching Patrick McGoohan outwit and humiliate a new No. 2 every episode was definitely a driving factor in my lifelong inability to "get with the program."
I wonder if either "The Sopranos" or "The Wire" would have the power to change someone's whole world view for life?
I haven't seen "The Wire," never really could get into "Sopranos," liked Twin Peaks a whole heck of a lot. I can stlll remember in great detail my visceral reaction to specific dialogue and visual elements as if I'd just seen it within the last month: "She's dead... Wrapped in Pla-stic."
