David Blum says one of the lasting legacies of "The Sopranos" may be that television criticism belongs not to the old critical warhorses like the New York Times and the New Yorker, but to the bloggers and mid-level critics who watch TV with passion, not disdain. "Their reviews and essays embrace the narrative power of television by chronicling it week after bloody week," he writes. "As HBO defines the future of the medium by mounting serial dramas and comedies ...it will be the bloggers and insta-critics following closely behind that make it exciting, interpreting and Monday-morning-quarterbacking in ways that have changed the face of criticism."
