Wiseguy

[rheasilvia]

Started rewatching Wiseguy* yesterday and noticed something the rest of the Wiseguy-watching world probably noticed ages ago. The first thing Sonny Steelgrave ever says on the show is that he doesn't think it's smart to do your own rubber glove work. Oh, Sonny. You are so very right, and this is a briliant and painful bit of foreshadowing that I find all the more lovely for being so subtle.

Also, wow. This is a really, really good series. And I only watched the pilot, but I already have Nights in White Satin stuck in my head.

* BTW: When I say Wiseguy, I mean the Steelgrave arc. I have never managed to watch any of the later arcs because I couldn't bear to.

The Steelgrave arc is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but the Profitt arc has Roger Lococco. I'm not saying that the Steelgrave arc isn't sufficient unto itself unto the end of time, because OMG it so is...but I love Roger.

Still. Sonny. Oh, Sonny.

I regret that Roger came after Sonny for Vinnie, because that has pretty much ensured that I never will get to meet the guy... I don't even doubt that the later arcs are excellent in their own way, it's just, ack. I cannot deal.
