That's a show that I could just never get in to, no matter how many times I tried to watch.
Like, I totally understand why people like it, I don't think it's a bad show...but I guess my overall indifference towards mob movies/series plays a rather large role in my just not liking it.

No. Any form of compliment is an immediate infraction.
Damn. Well, it was nice while it lasted.
See ya guys.

As the youngest member of The Beatles, he was outvoted (shouted?) by the other 3...

But surely once Paul started arguing, John would instinctively take the opposite position. And since Ringo doesn't count...

Paul and John agreed a lot more than you may realize.
And The Beatles were nothing without Ringo
Basically--my bookshelves are almost exclusively biographies on The Beatles, a majority of the books on my Kindle are biographies on The Beatles. I've read them all, some more than once, have learned/forgotten/re-learned/re-forgotten so many little facts and anecdotes.
Now, was there some acrimony at the end, amongst them all? And that did spill over into some of the initial solo recordings. But John & Paul reconciled their friendship long before he was murdered. Something George unfortunately didn't get the chance to do and it was one of his biggest regrets right up until his own death.
To me, The Beatles were the true definition of "brotherly love"--they may agitate each other at times, they may fight at times, but in the end they loved one another.

That's all true, but in my version they're not saying no, so...

I've read a lot about them too. I enjoy poking fun about the way John and Paul would argue though. Too many people blow that out of proportion though and retcon the past based on how it ended.
I guess that has to be the reason then. But in my opinion Sopranos is a lot more than just a mob show.

The Sopranos had its stumbles like any show, but IMO it was largely brilliant work.
Some shows I think were truly groundbreaking television:
The Wire
The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
Battlestar Galactica (the modern version of course, but I still love the original)
Mad Men
Have not yet sat down to watch True Detective or Breaking Bad, but I'm told those two are right up there as well.. My personal favorite TV show of all time is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which was hugely groundbreaking from a Trekkie perspective at least.

Yeah Lost is just fantastic television. Such great characters. The island mysteries were just fun background fluff that ultimately didnt matter in the end.

The ending still confuses me
, I was so sad when I saw it wasn't on Netflix anymore.

Applying for Graduate School and getting irritated, lol.
My school wants me to submit an unofficial transcript for "all colleges attended", so that means I have to get an unofficial transcript from the Community College I went to 11 years ago. Now normally I'd understand why they want this, however I already sent them an official transcript from that school when I transferred over 2 years ago. I have credits from that school on my unofficial transcript with Wichita State!
So now I'm just sitting here, waiting for that college to send me my unofficial transcript via email, so that I can move on with the application.
