You've got that right. My wife and I keep watching this final season sitting through the turgid episodes hoping something will happen. Usually nothing does. There's absolutely no tension in any of the scenes. Why isn't anybody wondering what happened to Adriana? All we're getting is Vito the homo stories and Tony Jrs. drug life. Where the heck is Paulie Walnuts? Oh yeah, he had a story about his mother who was really his aunt. Why aren't we getting more stories about Phil Leotardo, with sanctions from Johnny Sac, challenging Tony's empire? Did creator David Chase simply phone these stories in?
