Were changes made to The Sopranos after it initially aired?  I could swear when I first saw it the FBI hottie was played by a brunette with a honkin' NYC accent.

You're probably not wrong.  A quick look around google shows that they replaced the actress and reshot all of the original's scenes for DVD/later releases.

I like weird sci-fi mindfucks, but I couldn't see the point in any of the parallel stories, I thought they were uninteresting. Couple that with the fact that the Wachowskis aren't the most subtle filmmakers out there...

Was just wondering if the unfolding mystery was worth sticking with the show.

It is a bit overblown. Thinks too much of itself.  Dodgy pacing.
But it picks up as it goes on. It is enjoyable.

Why in the world would they do that I wonder.

This is the only gossip I could find on it...

That makes sense I guess.

I got a recommendation to watch "The Knick," a TV show about the Knickerbocker Hospital in NY circa 1900.  Anybody seen it?  I've got a few episodes at my disposal now, and might give it a go tonight.

Yeah...It's very good. A hospital show set, as you say, in 1900. Clive Owen is very good. Worthwhile

Yeah, it's worth watching.

Matt Damon made another Bourne.

Too many cliffhangers in Silicon Valley.  :mad:

Weird that they went all damnatio memoriae on Fairuza Balk,  though. Recasting characters isn't that rare and shows don't go to those extents to erase their tracks.

celedhring

Is The Knick gross? Otherwise I will take your recommendation and watch it. But I read the surgery scenes are pretty graphic (yeah I am squeamish like that)

CountDeMoney

Lol, if you're squeamish then, no, turn-of-the-century surgical practices may not be for you :lol:
But you would be doing yourself a disservice by skipping it.
