I fear the finale will be as lame as most
of this season has been. The
only good episode in the last 2 months
was the one where Ralphie met his
maker. I don't care about Janis, Bacala
or his kids, AJ or the Ouija board,
Meadow and Billy Budd or about a dozen
more of the soap opera crap
they've fed us this year. The show has
so many stories left unfinished
it's unbelivable. Whatever happened to
Adrianna and the feds?
Another false start?
I'll give you one prediction....Meadow comes
out as a lesbo.
How come Furio can pack up all his belongings
and move in a few hours?
If Tony takes out Carmine, he'll become
boss of the NJ and NY mob.
You can tell in the opening credits if
an episode is going to be good
by reading the writing credits. If David
Chase wrote it, it'll be good.
If anyone else did, it'll suck.
Paulie has to be written out after killing an old lady for money like a two bit junkie.
They should have just concentrated on Junior's
trial, Chris' drug problem
and the NY war instead of all the other
stupid side stories. I don't even care
about the finale anymore. I fear it'll
be another wasted 75 minutes of my life.
Crap....the whole season has been crap.
The only person worth a shit is Gandolfini.
His acting has been great. The rest of
the show has sucked.
But that's just my opinion.
Rude, I agree with much of that.
They spend valuable time on Janice and Bobby and nobody cares.
I like Bobby, but who wants to see him cry half the season?
Nobody likes Janice, but sometimes she has some great lines.
When Tony asked her if Ralphie was weird in bed, she said,
"Tony? You're asking me to betray a
confidence? OK, for $3000"
But we have to remember the Thanksgiving dinner analogy.
In this case, the mob hits = the turkey.
You can't have mob hit after mob hit - the show just wouldn't
fly.
You have to mix in the mashed potatoes (Tony's Carmella problems)
and the stuffing (the kids) and the cranberries (Bobby and Janice.)
The loose plot ends are the worst of it, but it's possible everything
could be
wrapped up in the finale, but unlikely.
After every show, the gang at alt.tv.sopranos re-visits
the shows best lines and I'm
always surprised how many spectacular writing gems that go unnoticed
with just one viewing.
There's a strange phenomona that happens with the Sopranos, especially
on that newsgroup alt.tv.sopranos.
Every week, they get together and half the members talk like
you, the show is dead, it's terrible now,
it's not really worth watching anymore - but they watch each
week just to complain.
The same thing happened with alt.tv.homicide.
Each week, they got together and said the show is dead, it's
terrible now, it's not
really worth watching anymore - but they watch each week just
to complain.
Remember, the opposite of love isn't hate - it's indifference.
The fact that people are compelled to watch, just so they can
diss it later is interesting,
but I'm not equipt to figure out what that means.
