Is there really not a Sopranos season 6 thread?

I suppose it's possible. It took some serious balls to end the first ep that way, so who knows how much balls we're talking about? Still, though, I kinda doubt this theory. Too much future plot was set up for things not to go forward. The "where's Ade" question could be particularly fruitful.

also that particular gimmick is lame and over-used.

(xp)

Lame, yes. but overused by who?

I didn't think there was any doubt about that. But I don't think Tony knows it.

I do however think the theory posted above is bogus. For an extensive recap of what happened all year, shouldn't this episode have been *very* surprising to us viewers? I mean, shouldn't major events have taken place we can't grasp yet? It didn't. Surely, things happened: Junior's dementia is in an even worse (final?) phase, Chris is a captain now, Janice & Bobby's baby, but all of that isn't really *that* surprising is it?

Anyway, great episode, and I'm very anxious about next week!

Did they? As per usual, I missed a critical detail. And I watched the episode twice!

johnny sack's rat was jimmy petrille (a new york guy who i don't think has appeared on the show), raymond curto (heart attack guy) was one of tony's capos.

ok here's my half-baked theory on what the shooting aftermath won't be: it definitely won't be a flashback seaz, we've established that. but what i think MIGHT happen is that tony will more or less have to kill junior; alzheimer's or not you don't take a shot at a boss, at the boss, and tony will realize that he has to "retaliate" or look weak. which would mean killing his doddering old uncle. at leas that's how it may play out...

I loved seeing Carmella visit johnny sacks wife. you can tell that Carmella is finally starting to realize how this lifestyle ends...

not to mention "let's go the spa to take your mind of the asset seizures...oh yeah, that is my new porshe"-- was there bad blood betw them & carm did that on purpose, or was that a look of "oops" on her face when ginny complemented the wheels?

Made the part where she got upstaged at the end that much more poignant. Vettes are pretty cool, and they're cooler still when you PAY FOR THEM YOURSELF.

God I've missed this show.

Although, Finn isn't made, so he doesn't have immunity per se. Just that extra layer of protection. And besides, Vito will have to contrive a reason to whack him, since he can't say "dude caught me sucking cock."

I'd more interested to see how the families would deal with an outed Vito. Whackable "offense?" I mean, it's totally against all the mob's macho values, but would they turn and kill him?

However we all saw how easily the Tony B thing could have come back into play this week,(Tony would do anything for the old Jew wouldn't he.) If something flared up between Vito and Finn then it would be the easiest way to suck Meadow into Tony's world. She's more intellegent than her mother and much better suited to it than her brother.

We were just talking about this today. For all that the major shocking events of the Sopranos reflect badly on Tony, they reflect even worse on Carmella. At least he accepts responsibility for what he is, while she in some way likes to think of herself as a good person.

I think that the showing off of the Porsche (which presumably he bought (at least in part) with his cut of thingy's inheritance) was meant as a counterpoint to the grim suicide scene.

In early 1992, after some high-level discussions, the DeCavalcante family sent out a hit team to whack acting boss John (Johnny Boy) D'Amato (left) for committing an unconscionable and most dishonorable crime: Being gay.
(this is one of the real life families that David Chase has used for source material on the show. they are set in Elizabeth NJ

i can't tell if "doesn't die" won on a shipley-led technicality or if people actually think he lives past that moment

hahahah me too

good technicality and i totally agree BUT at the same time, everyone's got a theory in the back of their head right?

jesus all those psychos, misogynists and murderers in the sopranos and somehow AJ still comes out the worst cunt in the whole racket

good when tony stamps on coco's head tho

AJ still comes out the worst cunt in the whole racket

dunno how anyone could draw this conclusion

well he's probably the most annoying tv character of all time. Dunno if I'd call him a cunt though

AJ was a complete fuckup and super annoying but his last gf was pretty hot

his last two girlfriends were both stunning

cunt as in person

worst was probably a bit strong but he's consistently v.v.annoying

yeah I was interpreting "worst" in a moral sense there... I do feel like he's the most outwardly pathetic. I've noted elsewhere that I don't think he has a single scene that doesn't involve him being humiliated in some way

he's tragically, flailingly, depressed and unable to see beyond himself

like father...

when you put it that way

Watched "Heidi and Kennedy" last night. Amazed at its density, how much ground it covers in an hour. And all that asbestos.

i had been watching thru this again; past about mid-s4 watching for the first time. i watched the final 2 and half eps yesterday -- in a strange coincidence, the 5 yr anniversary of gandolfini's death. RIP.

i found it tough going a lot of the time, despite the complete magnificence of s6 A and B. i wasn't really enjoying spending time with these violent lying deluded people! and i stopped caring what happened, what they did to each other, or how the writers would find ways to show them failing to solve their obvious problems in the same ways over and over again. i skipped over the middle of s5. peace to david strathairn.

i ended up loving rosalie aprile. i ended up completely hating dr. melfi. wisdom never turns up where it's needed, is that the point?

has the finale been compared to the seinfeld finale at all? i'm sure, somewhere, on a blog... i loved it. a great fuck you to us for identifying, for wanting to see them off cleanly, one way or another. the comment above that tony could be killed 5 sec or 20 years later, is right on.

the last scene with tony and junior was wonderful.

just started on season 6 on my rewatch of the sopranos. the way they take eugene pontecorvo, a complete bit part character, and make him sympathetic and fully-fleshed in that first episode of season 6, and the horrendous suicide scene, *kisses fingers*.

i hadn't watched the show since it was originally broadcast and I've got to say the rewatch has only confirmed to me that this is my favourite tv show ever

feel like it was a real turning point in TV, one of those rare genuine milestones that is also really rewarding to return to

Bobby Baccala, discussing his family's immigration history: "They should build a wall now, though"

Potential spinoff with AJ as the new MAGA NJ crime boss.

best episode of the season so far also AWESOME USE OF EARLY GIORGIO MORODER SONG IN THE BADA BING! THIS season has had the best music!!
