coming on RIGHT NOW...don\'t forget
-
First episode I\'ve ever seen aside from a random few on DVD (no HBO at home, but we have it at school). I\'m definitely going to be hooked on this final season (while simultaneously catching up on the old ones).
-
They\'re setting it up for a great fifth season, Buscemi sould be a great addition to the cast.
-
I\'ll be the first to say it, I thought it was boring. The bear thing looks interesting, but the melfi/tony storyline has got to go, even though it had to get to that point sometime. I guess there was a lot of set up for the season. I give it a 5/10.
-
you gotta raise that score just for her dream!
-
The bear thing was hillarious and that was not her ass.
-
def inately not her ass!
-
BTW....this isnt the last season..
-
I was watching with Pec and Mike and we all said the same thing! Definitely NOT Melfi\'s ass! Episode overall wasn\'t much. The bear thing is stupid, and the Paulie/Christopher tension thing was also kinda corny. The Tony/Melfi thing was the only really interesting aspect, although I could see why some people might be bored with it by now. 3.5/10 although the preview for next week shows a lot of promise.

fair episode. i\'ll cut it some slack seeing as the season premiers usually aren\'t very hard-hitting.
i find the lack of meadow disturbing already. aj\'s horrific drumming gets more screen time than meadow?? come on.. :no:
i do like the way aj is developing though. he\'s showing that he\'s really bitter towards mom & dad about the seperation.. not sure where that will go, but it\'s good development nonetheless. and seeing him cave at the sight of the bear was amusing.. \'MOMMY!!!\'
definitely not melfi\'s ass, but hey, she can dream, right? :lol: it\'ll be interesting to see if she can keep her cool with tony, or if she\'ll let herself go..
interesting to have paulie and chris talking about pine barrens, even though it\'s been confirmed that that storyline was over and not coming back.. hmm..
did janice and bobby get married?? looks that way..
are the fish & game guys feds? could be..
looking forward to next week. previews look strong, though last season proved that the previews can be very misleading... but is this season\'s episode 2 is half as good as last season\'s, look out!
-
carmella is about to hook up with one of those dudes it seems and i guarantee,in the near future,christopher-gone....might have something to do with adriana ratting or paullie just being a disck,but chris\' days are numbered i think.
-
My first Sopranos effort as well.......
Buscemi is what finally reeled me in. Cant wait to see him in action next week....
That waiter had to know who he was dealing with, why would you chase after mobsters for a tip? Well goes to show you what happens....I also loved the way the fucking up of the waiter, brought Chris and whatshisname back together as friends...so warm and touching.....
Loraine Bracco looks like she started eating hams by the hock
-
I thought it was very boring.
-
Did anyone else notice how skinny Meadow got?
-
Maybe that\'s because the Hunter has been hunting her down. ;)

i don\'t think she\'s all that skinnier from last season, but 2-3 seasons ago, yes.. i let out a nice \'yesssssss\' when she got her 30 seconds of screen time last night.. can\'t believe that was it though.. hopefully they work her in (take that as you will) somehow.. ;)
-
Funny, I don\'t remember Meadow being in the episode at all? WHen the heck was that? It would be real juicy if the fish n game people are feds AND Mrs. S starts messing around with one of them! Then Tony really pisses her off and she starts ratting him out and the season finale is just him and her on a boat (eerily reminiscient of the season 2 finale w/ Big hoo haa) and he has to decide what to do with her. Oh, juicy! I should be writing the scripts!
-
I\'d give the episode a 7/10...

won\'t be watching it till tonight (watched wrestlemania XX last night - big waste of time), so no comment yet.. imus was killing it this morning though..
-
i was at the firehouse for 36 straight hours over the weekend (the price one pays to go all the way to westbrook)...i was all set up at 8:45 to watch the show when the inevitable happens...i fuckin hate it when people burn their house down in the middle of a program or a movie (i hate it in the middle of the night also...just for the record)...so..i havn\'t read a post and i\'ll have to find out when it\'s on again this week....don\'t bother telling me cause i won\'t read this thread until i see it
-
Tensions are rising in Soprano Land...
-
Hey dave, check this link out....It\'s a funny review about Wrestle Mania...http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/040315
-
pete - yeah, i read that yesterday. it\'s a great read, and 100% true.. sports guy rules.
back to the sopranos.. i watched it last night, sort of... fell asleep during a good portion of the middle, but what i saw was boring. of course, i\'ll watch the whole thing again and give it a fair shot, but i didn\'t like what i saw. :(
-
i think adriana is startin to love the ide and feelin of being a RAT...i feel bad for poor christopher....
-
yeah...poor chris...he\'s got it rough

:thumbsup::thumbsup:
looks like the season officially kicked into high gear last night. very strong episode, with a lot happening.
uncle june & bobby = larry & jeff.. :lol:
june\'s development in this episode was great, as was seeing tony dealing with it.. great ending..
bobby: ROADIES??? rotfl
the landscaping scenes were great, and the feud between paulie and feech is hot. feech is a tremendous character.. paulie trying to put the lawnmower in the trunk was also hilarious..
"The guy jumped out of a tree with a chainsaw! I have a right to defend myself." :lol:
hey pitchie, "Lay off the Snapple!" :D
the phone book scene with loraine was also great... a little info on her:
Saucy Patti D\'Arbanville, now on NBC\'s Third Watch, has a nude scene in a coming episode. She\'s 52....
....D\'Arbanville auditioned nearly six years ago to play Carmela Soprano, but lost the competition to Edie Falco, who has since won three Emmys. The newly minted guest star says, "I\'ve been wanting to do this for a long time. And I like the fact that I get to play nobody\'s bimbo. I get to be one of the boys."
http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/entertainment/television/8096668.htm
overall, this was really a fantastic episode. best in a long time. it had all the elements that made me fall in love with this show in the first place - the action, the emotion, the drama, and the comedy.. the show is back, and i\'m excited!
-
8.5/10...
-
i was kinda hopin uncle jr hooked up with that cutie on the parkbench!!!!
-
one of the best episodes in a while...
poor uncle june! he had me cracking up though with the tv bit. some ser beat downs had me rolling too. DO NOT F with feech!! or paulie for that matter...jeez. things are hitting the boiling point all around...too much tension between everybody.
-
man,did walnuts fuck that dude up with the chobel or what????
-
Paulie vs Feech I love the looks of this battle
Tony is trying to neuter the other family by making them form a triumvirate. I am hoping that proves to be the last straw. I want war so bad.
chobel = shovel that took me a while

(http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/img/episode/season05/ep56_tony_davidleeroth.jpg)
jesus, is DLR a corpse or what??
well, it\'s thursday and no comments on last sunday\'s episode yet??
i thought it was another strong showing.. loved the screw job of feech, but i doubt we\'ve seen the last of him..
loraine - jeez, that lasted long.. could have done without seeing her run around the house nekkid...
though there wasn\'t much meadow, there was meadow, so that\'s a :thumbsup:.
rumors are flying around that [spoiler]adrianna is gonna get whacked next week[/spoiler], but i don\'t see that happening (yet)... though i do think it will happen by the end of this season. i just feel really good about the direction this show is going in right now, and that\'s something i wasn\'t able to say last season.
by the way, HBO just added a GREAT feature to their Sopranos site - a music guide for every episode! brilliant. here\'s last week\'s playlist:

-
It looked from the preview for this week that Christopher pops someone...
The Feech situation was really intense. I definately thought he was gettin delt with. Sending him up the river is gonna turn out bad for someone....

While Christopher is away on business, the Sopranos crew plays a game of "telephone" with a rumor involving Adriana. Don\'t miss the all new episode of the Sopranos "Irregular Around The Margins" this Sunday, April 4th at 9PM ET.

-
another strong one.. i\'m loving this season so far.. :thumbsup:
-
i got season 1 - 4 on dvd but no HBO so i gotta wait for the DVDS to come out. I know ever episode from front to back on the first 4 seasons. best show ever up there with OZ and Six Feet Under....

HA!!!! I didnt know Tony liked the white lightening. From what I understand (this is my first season watching) Tony never got into drugs as far as the show went untill now. When he ran into Meadow at the club it looked like he was coming out of the back after doing the pile.....
I thought the juxtoposition of Tony saying that he would "never" do anything sexual with Adrianna because she is going to be part of the family. And he was so so so adamant. However, I feel that if he would have scored some blow with her instead of running off the road, they would have fucked like rabbits all night (even though Adrianna said she was going to clean). So Tony in a sense was probably lucky because if something would have happened he would never have been able to deny the whole situation the way he did....

With her son\'s future at stake, Carmela puts in some extra time with his college advisor, Robert Wegler. Meanwhile, Tony Blundetto realizes it\'s hard doing business with strangers, and AJ concludes there\'s no place like home.
definitely a step down from the previous few eps. not sure i liked Tony B. peaking and hitting rock bottom all in one episode, especially after working so hard to get his license. the whole carm/bob thing peaked and fell as well (and got WAY too much air-time, imo)..
the previews for next week look promising, but they\'re never accurate, so we\'ll see. not a big fan of this ep, though.
-
peck,i agreee.definately a disappointing episode.however,tremendous fight scene!!
-
oh yea,and the professor has rhinosaurus balls for fuckin with the big mans wife....is he ser???
-
I like how the principal said, "It\'s not like Tony is going to break my legs or anything." Right.
And for the record, I thought this was a very good episode. Splitting up Tony and Carmela was the shot in the arm this show needed after an average Season Four and I thought it paid off big-time this week. The show is going places no mafia-related fictional drama has ever gone with the seperation. They\'re breaking ground, much like they\'ve already done with Tony\'s visits to Melfi. I thought this week\'s episode was the funniest of the season, in addition to the Carmela drama, which I thought was great work. To me, season Five is almost already better than last season.

:yack:Janice
not a bad standalone episode, but i dunno.. call me crazy, but there are exactly 16 episodes left in the series. why are we devoting full episodes to indroducing new characters week after week??
All of the established storylines are totally stagnant and have been for weeks. Instead of introducing two new characters who are irrelevant and will be forgotten about next week, further the existing plots. Six episodes left until another year-and-whatever hiatus, and little of importance has happened this season. Oh wait, a bear walked by the pool. Great.
i\'m just getting tired of coming up with excuses for every episode. we get a great episode, then we get 3 straight weeks of shit.. that\'s becoming way too normal with this show..

Friends and family gather at the Sopranos\' for a not-so-surprise 75th birthday party for Carmela\'s father, Hugh. Meanwhile, Johnny Sack shows off his new wheels, Phil Leotardo pulls into hoo haa\'s old place for some auto repairs, and Tony B. considers accepting a familiar job on the side.
:thumbsup:
good ep. not great, but good/very good.. finally starting to get back on track with continuing storylines, rather than start new ones.. starting to find out a lot about Tony B... very funny episode as well.. junior had some great lines, as always... and meadow = :drool:.
:thumbsup:

Hopefully the preview wont cheat us and next week will be a doosy!
-
(http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/img/homepage/season05/ep61_meadow_boyfriend.jpg)
eh.. not bad.. i can\'t complain about meadow getting airtime, but her whole thing just dragged out WAY too long.. \'THE SUITCASE, THE SUITCASE, THE SUITCASE!!!\'.. shut up.. Vito giving the security guard a bj seemed pretty pointless.. seems like a good transition episode though. johnny sack is heated, and tony b is in trouble.. tony in the pool at the end was hilarious..
-

bringing it back...
one week to go, and the past 2 have been amazing.. i have very high expectations for the final episode of the season..
-
I was hoping to see this up here. I know you usually have the music credits for each episode, and I was wondering about the tune at the end of this past weeks episode. I know it was Shawn Smith (sounded just like him), but I was wondering if it was him solo or with Satchel....thanks...

Tony\'s crew circles the wagons as Johnny Sack turns up the heat. Carmela counts her blessings; Christopher is freaked out by an unexpected visitor; Benny\'s connection to the plumbers\' union comes in handy; AJ demonstrates his business acumen; and Tony ponders whether to execute a "sacrifice bunt." Don\'t miss the season finale of the Sopranos on June 6th at 9PM ET.

As I have said before, this was the first season of the Sopranos I ever watched. I enjoyed it all the way through.
Whos got my Season 1-4 on disk?
-
incredible, i thought. absolutely loved the return of "the bear" at the end. perfect.
steve - i\'ve got the dvd sets of seasons 1-4. if you wanna borrow them one at a time, just let me know.

Lead Actor: James Gandolfini
Lead Actress: Edie Falco

It should also be noted that Deadwood, another stellar HBO program, garnered 11 nominations, and Six Feet Under, one of television\'s finest, did not receive any because it aired only one episode, the finale of Season 3, during the period of elgibilty.
Pitch
Personally, I thought Season 5 of The Sopranos was very strong with a quality finale. Overall, I consider it better than Season\'s 3 and 4.

Supporting Actor: Steve Buscemi
Outstanding Writing: "Long Term Parking" Terence Winter
So Nice!!!

(Friday, July 23 09:34 AM)
By Rick Porter
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) "The Sopranos" is up for 20 Emmy Awards this year, but it looks like it won\'t be in the competition at all in 2005.
HBO chairman Chris Albrecht told reporters at the TV Critics Association press tour Thursday (July 22) that the mob drama\'s earliest likely return date is the first quarter of 2006. On the plus side, it\'s possible that creator David Chase will deliver more than the previously announced 10 episodes for the show\'s final season.
Fans of the show are, by now, used to long delays between new seasons of "The Sopranos." They waited 16 months between the show\'s third and fourth seasons -- a delay that kept the series out of Emmy contention in 2002 -- and 15 months between the fourth and fifth.
The gap between season five, which ended in June, and season six will probably be between 18 and 21 months. "It\'s like the Harry Potter book," Albrecht says. "You\'ll wait for the sequel and be very happy to get it."
Albrecht also says that there\'s "an inside chance" Chase will come through with more than 10 episodes for the final season. "We\'ve talked to him about it. He hasn\'t said no," Albrecht says. "And with David, that\'s always a very good sign."
In the meantime, several other HBO dramas will fill the gap. "The Wire" is set to open its third season in December, while both "Carnivale" and "Deadwood" are expected back in the first half of 2005.
-
However long it takes, as long as it\'s worth it. I felt it was more than worth it this season.
I think The Wire and Deadwood are both quality shows and Carnivale is interesting, but managed to go the entire first season without revealing key details about the show\'s premise and plot, which I found frustrating. I\'ll watch the upcoming seasons of all these shows.
Pitch
-
Most Outstanding Drama Series. It\'s about time. Plus Most Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series for "Long Term Parking," a.k.a.: Adriana gets it.
-
big ups to ma main man Michael Imperioli fo da Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series n me julie Drea de Matteo fo Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series. safe.
-
Me totally forgot about Imperioli. Him was a key part of the season. Does you think he can win it again? Techmology reigns supreme. Hear me now. Oh wait, I\'s in the wrong thread.
-
tough seeing big jimmy gandolfini get totally snubbed when attempting to give thanks and praise!!its fucking tony soprano for gods sake..somebodys gettin whacked big time now!!
-
breaking news: adrianna\'s really dead!! :holyshit:
Terence Winter, who won for writing for The Sopranos, said the winning episode was of Adriana\'s killing. He said it was more difficult to write her death than other violent scenes: "The death happens off camera. ... I didn\'t want to see it. I didn\'t need the image in my head of an actress and a person and a character that I\'d come to know and love all these years." On theories she isn\'t really dead: "I\'ve heard that, too, but she\'s dead."

I have never seen this show. Any good?
