Is there really not a Sopranos season 6 thread?

Made the part where she got upstaged at the end that much more poignant. Vettes are pretty cool, and they're cooler still when you PAY FOR THEM YOURSELF.

God I've missed this show.

Although, Finn isn't made, so he doesn't have immunity per se. Just that extra layer of protection. And besides, Vito will have to contrive a reason to whack him, since he can't say "dude caught me sucking cock."

I'd more interested to see how the families would deal with an outed Vito. Whackable "offense?" I mean, it's totally against all the mob's macho values, but would they turn and kill him?

However we all saw how easily the Tony B thing could have come back into play this week,(Tony would do anything for the old Jew wouldn't he.) If something flared up between Vito and Finn then it would be the easiest way to suck Meadow into Tony's world. She's more intellegent than her mother and much better suited to it than her brother.

We were just talking about this today. For all that the major shocking events of the Sopranos reflect badly on Tony, they reflect even worse on Carmella. At least he accepts responsibility for what he is, while she in some way likes to think of herself as a good person.

I think that the showing off of the Porsche (which presumably he bought (at least in part) with his cut of thingy's inheritance) was meant as a counterpoint to the grim suicide scene.

In early 1992, after some high-level discussions, the DeCavalcante family sent out a hit team to whack acting boss John (Johnny Boy) D'Amato (left) for committing an unconscionable and most dishonorable crime: Being gay.
(this is one of the real life families that David Chase has used for source material on the show. they are set in Elizabeth NJ

EDIE FUCKING FALCO

the best rumor I heard is that the first episode this season (last week, for those of you playing at home) is actually the second to the last episode of the series and that Tony will die on the last episode. In the intermittent 18 episodes (eps 2-19), we will fill in the blanks of the past two years and finish the series off with his death in #20.

Needless to say, last night's episode makes that theory a little shaky BUT the premise of not necessarily going a long ways forward in the timeline seems very possible.

Anyway, great episode, and I'm very anxious about next week!

No Porsche Cayenne in 2001.

(Googling Kevin Finnerty shows up an attorney and a *funeral director* by the same name, OMGWTF I figured out teh world!)

AJ is no Ziggy Sobatka.

i'm excited with where AJ's role is going. can't wait for the ep when he sheds his locks.

so i'm watching this off a bittorrented rip and my copy ends with a real sudden break-- tony/finnerty's sitting on hotel bed, looking out window, nice music playing then CUT instantly to credits-- is that how it really ends, or do i have a bad rip that cuts off early?

there are many reasons why this doesn't seem likely, and one more small one is that the sopranos has always taken place in extremely contemporary america, as up-to-date as possible, considering. witness the shots of bush in ep 1 in bullshit katrina photo-op (as wsb drones on about "treacherous ba"). witness the MIL OPS SPEC 2006 placard in the lobby early in this ep. chase would never devote a whole season to events that transpired two years ago.

And seriously... Edie Falco is an amazing actor.

religion was also a motif this ep: cross on TV screen in bar, the monks ("lose your arrogance" was it?), carmela's recanting her damnation.
