I have just gotten hooked the last couple of years. Did the early episodes always have these very liberal RAT political messages in them?! The parts of bashing Bush with the kids all the time, was quite annoying?!........
You heard it here first:
The writers for Seinfeld and the Sopranos, probably the two greatest shows ever, got their endings criss-crossed.
Seinfeld should have ended like the Sopranos where nothing happens and nothing is resolved.
Sopranos should have ended like Seinfeld in a courtroom with a resolution.
That take will be repeated everywhere over the next few weeks.
Also, this Sopranos finale was a big f-you to America/fans for two reasons.
One, this eposide shows that the rumors are true that there will be a movie.
Complete exploitation because they could have just put the movie in the final episode but chose not to. Total BS, and I for one will not see it. Second, the writers got too full of themselves and said you know what, we are the Sopranosas, we defy convention, so we don’t need a real ending. However, good stories need resolutions. The Sopranos for the prior three seasons was not good storytelling.
It started last year.
No, the show went weak against the war on Islam when AJ lost his loser “fiancee”. I can’t remember one of the lines where I think it was Paulie who buthcered Nostradamus re: the war on Islam.
I am on season 3 and it was the marvelous Clinton years. Carmella loves Hillary but so far nothing about Bush. I think season 3 is early 2001? I still see the Towers in the opening song.
No, the liberal crap started pretty recently, except for a few lib comments by Meadow when she was young and stupid. The Sopranos used to be terrific... excellent storytelling, as another FReeper put it. The show really has gone downhill the past three seasons or so, IMO...
Oh please! That IS reality!
