The Sopranos

Hmm, I thought the show had contract and budget problems. Sadly, I have no HBO, so I can't watch it. But if I still had HBO, it really wouldn't interest me that much as Six Feet Under. Repetitive mafia murdering people stuff seems boring to me. No Six Feet Under, they come up with new ways of dying every episode. :blink:

I've faithfully watched every episode of Sopranos, and I have to say it--I hope the FBI arrests Tony Soprano and his whole crew. After Christopher had Adrianna whacked, the Soprano family lost the last of my sympathy.

 

No way, I love what a bunch of nasty crims they are. Adriana was begging to be whacked - talking to the Feds behind Christophers back ?

 

I would like to avoid any more Tony Soprano sex scenes though....uuurrggghhh

She was dumb as a fence-post though. Revealing the fact she'd been 'turned' to Christopher wasn't the smartest move and after what happened to Big P*ssy I wasn't suprised at what happened.

 

I don't know what the end-state will be with Tony. Maybe he'll turn, but I can't see that. I don't see him getting arrested so much as I see him getting capped and maybe Christopher taking over 'the family'. The FBI guys aren't always the sharpest tacks, they're much like some FBI agents I've met in real life.

 

I miss Big P*ssy and Ritchie.

I'd say! Did you pick up that expression in NC? I never heard it until I lived i TN for a couple of years.

True enough. But killing your own girl??? That's really low.

I knew a guy in college who was gung-ho to join the FBI. Scariest dude I ever met in my life. Really.

I don't recall, having lived there for over 15 years it's probably where I got it. I'm originally from Oregon and in the early nineties I was jokingly accused by an NC girlfriend of having a "TV" accent, now I'm accused by my family of having a mild southern one.

I guess in spite of the soap-opera family-life angle of the Sopranos underneath it all lies the ruthless reality of being a mobster.

For all the PR on them I've only known scary types from the Army that made the grade. They aren't well thought of by other government agencies from what I've seen.

Aren't you in Australia? Didn't realize the Sopranos was big there, interesting. I'm sure all the Guido's love it.

I'm solidly with you there. Not that I don't love the program, I live for it. But the death of Adrianna brings us back to some of the original criticism directed against the show. By humanizing these gangsters we run the risk of making them romantic and hence ''good''. They are what they are, dirty no-count criminals, and no matter what Adrianna's faults were, even if, by strategy, she had to be removed, in the end everybody has to pay the moral piper. Not to bring Tony, Chrissy, and even Tony's wife (she was warned by the shrink to pull out or face moral consequences) to task for their actions sends out a misleading message to the public. Hiding behind the premise that life ain't fair undermines the moral purpose of drama. They all have to pay. Especially after Chrissy's callous remark: ''That bitch wasn't willing to do five years for me...?''

 

These are sick people.

 

I can't wait for Season 6!
