The Sopranos jumped the shark four years ago. I tuned in last season to see what was going on and tuned out the gay love subplot..... and all the rest of it too.
I have heard that this month's Vanity Fair gives away the ending of the Sopranos. The Sopranos has had many bad episodes. Henry VIII is starting on Showtime and I am afraid to see what the writers will do to that one. Yes, there is poetic license, but some of the writers think "soap opera with costumes" and become ridiculous.
