Heroes · Season 1 · Episode 17 · Originally Aired February 26, 2007
I like Heroes. I really do. But the one complaint that I have (and the complaint that I hear most often from my wife) is that it jumps all over the place, which can make it tough to follow. I totally agree. This makes this episode one of my favorites. While it has a ton of information in it, and it does jump around a lot, it focuses like none other. Just awesome.

The Sopranos · Season 6 · Episode 15 · Originally Aired April 22, 2007
Let me preface this by saying that I have enjoyed The Sopranos. It's a good show, and it's had a decent run. But it's getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, isn't it? What happened to all the action? Sure, we're all getting a bit older, but I'm just itching for some good, old-fashioned whacking. Sure, there was some action across the river in Stage 5, but the last time a significant character was taken out was Vito, who bought it in Cold Stones, which seems like a decade ago.
Anyway, there are two main plot lines here. One is Uncle Junior, who we finally see after a really long time. I don't even remember the last time we saw him. Anyone? The other is that Tony and Paulie take a road trip. Now if that's not the perfect setup for a whacking, I don't know what is.
