Agree, tonights episode was the worst. I can't stand Meadow and AJ.
The worst?!? I can understand that for many people, the draw of the show is Tony and only Tony, but for me the writing can carry one final season sans Tony, as we see the collapse of his empire after his death and the effects it would have on the stillborn man AJ, the hypocrite Carmella, the addict Christopher, the honor driven old school Johnny Sac. Who dies, but someone else's hand or his own? Who goes to jail? Who lives out their lives miserable and depressed? The dangling sword of dark (but earned and self imposed) tragedy hanging over the heads of this entire family has little appeal beyond whether Tony lives in the last 18 episodes?!? No, you people are all hooked, as are we all, like we're the poor sap with a fishing line sewn between our nipple rings.
And yeah, I can't stand AJ and Meadow, but at least they're given interesting subplots to finish the series. AJ vs. Jr, and the gay capo making a move on Meadow's fiance (as seen in the previews).
I wish I could take back the hour I waisted watching this episode.
Undoubtedly the worst episode they have ever produced.
Note to self: if the entire show is basically a dream sequence, bail.
