That little speech she got from her sponsor in the supermarket was a riot. I hope we see that actress again. something like "oh dear, I've lived in North Jersey all my life. These people are psychopaths."
i cant believe i got sucked in to watching that season. im just glad its over. fuckin terrible, who writes that shit. they hop from one scene to the next with absolutely no correlation between the two. all those clips of carmela with that stupid look on her face, :fuckyou:
Does it get too challenging for you to watch a show where everything isn't presented with a laugh track so you know what's supposed to be funny?Quote:

If you didn't see all the shit they're setting up in those "disjointed scenes," you're not paying attention. Except, really, for the last episode, I loved this season.
The last episode was a little gimmeabreak-ish, with Chris just sort of deciding to quit the H, and AJ getting straight all of a sudden. And where did all of Tony and Carmela's existential angst go?
it shouldnt take a whole season to set up the next season.
At some point the people who hate this show, and specifically this most recent season, need to realize that they aren't setting up anything. The show "is what it is", and thats a dramatic series about the relationships within an American nuclear family.Quote:

The mafia aspect adds some tension and adds some depth to the conflicts, but the real meat of the show is in Tony's sessions with Melfi, and how he chooses to face his problems.
If you can't grasp this nuance, you might want to stick to simpler TV fare, like American Idol. I heard they do a great job of setting up conflict and resolving it in the next episode.
I wasn't a huge fan of this season, because i thought too much time was given to the brokeback sopranos plotline (which wasn't really original or compelling in anyway, well, except for the unintentional comedy factor of a character named johnnycakes); but, Tony's decisions, viewed in perspective against his character in early seasons, show a guy who has truly changed, and thats reason enough to watch, IMO.

i didnt like this season b/c it was too slow not b/c i didnt understand it. its not a very complex idea. a mob family going through turmoil w/ drugs, murders, deception and sex to fill the void. gotta love the complexity of that. i didnt think this season lived up to its expectations from previous years imo. ill stick to entourage and rescue me from now on and watch sopranos when i need soem life lessons.
I guess you're right. You totally got it.Quote:

Late 90's I went back to live near my Mom, who was in her 80's at the time. I was around for the last dozen years of her life, and amongst other shared pleasures maybe the best was our regular Sunday night viewing of The Sopranos. Watched the whole run together. Good times.

Streaming on HBO/Max now; watched part 1 last night. First twenty minutes is a quick Chase bio, then it gets into Sopranos creation, casting, etc, and rolls through the first season. Good stuff if you're a fan. Gonna watch part 2 tonight.
