i\'m not gonna go too into the episode yet, but just a few quick points...

last night was NOT the season 6 finale. it\'s been stated from the get go that season 6 would be 20 episodes, with a break after 12. you should not have gone into last night\'s episode with \'season finale\' expectations.

And the story with the 30-year-old perfect 10 Dominican mom he gets with is utterly unbelievable. She fell for him while he was loading trash into a whellbarrow? I would\'ve barely believed that he met her in one of his clubs if they had given me that.

a single mother living in a bad neighborhood going for the son of a mob boss with all the money in the world? sounds completely believable to me..

And finally, what\'s up with a Christmas episode in June? It just doesn\'t feel right at all. TV shows have Christmas episodes around (gasp!) Christmas so you feel in touch with the show. I don\'t connect with a Christmas scene in June.

sopranos-time has never \'lined up\' with the time it airs.. this is nothing new. and it\'s been winter all season, so it makes perfect sence. it\'s ok though wolf - we don\'t expect you to connect with a Christmas scene in december either.

again, season 6 continues next year.

I didn\'t think the episode was so bad. I like to make wild speculations on how thing will shake out, and it gave me some food for thought, so here goes-

Paulie starts(/continues?) nailing the Dominican he introduced AJ to. AJ finds out, flips, kills Paulie in a situation where Paulie almost has to fall down and kill himself. Dualing idiots, should give some hilarious dialoge.
Tony notices Paulie missing. AJ is not man enough to confess to Tony. Tony assumes it\'s Phil breaking his promise and reverting to his original plan of taking out a capo>WAR.
Morality- everything Tony has built falls apart, b/c he was so busy w. business he didn\'t take care of things @ home and therefore raised a complete jackass for a son who **** everything up.

Get David Chase on the phone. I think I\'m a writer:D

2006 Sopranos=2003 Phish :lol: I guess that\'s why the call it a peak. After you hit it there is now where to go but down.

I was very let down by last nights episode.

I know it\'s not the technical "season finale" but it\'s still the last episode until 2007, so give us something juicy to go out on. It was all a little too norman rockwell for me.

That\'s fine. I still say it\'s utterly ridiculous.

It\'s always been a flaw in the show. I never said this was a new concept.

Was/is... who cares? You of all people should have appreciated my excellent Phish analogy but you were too hung up on my verb tenses to enjoy it. Rather than nitpicking technicalities how about you tell us what you thought about the episode?

wow.

i\'m not hung up on your verb tenses, i\'m hung up on the fact that you went into this episode expecting a big \'season finale\', when that\'s not what it was or ever meant to be.

anyways, i thought it was a solid episode, but i also didn\'t go into it expecting it to be anything more than another episode in season six. sure, you\'re not left with any major cliffhanger for the next 7 months, but even with the real season finales, the sopranos has never been that kind of show.

i thought the christmas card ending was absolutely fantastic, and a GREAT note to go out on before the break. it shows you the entire family together, at peace, and happy. and i have a feeling that\'s gonna be the last time we see them like that.

just when the NY/NJ thing starts to heat up, phil has a heart attack, which seems like it will completely diffuse that storyline.. i don\'t think that\'s the case though.. i think it will only ignite things more. what will happen if phil dies? the NY crew seem like a bunch of loose canons - just look at the way phil\'s goon got in tony\'s face on his way out of the hospital..

i don\'t like the fact that the carmella/ade thing was set up in several episodes, then tony just keeps her busy with the house to get her mind off it.. now i\'m hoping something more happens there because that\'s a weak payoff.

but my biggest complaint about the episode? lack of nudity. i mean, come on.. you\'ve got Julianna Margulies and Dania Ramirez getting **** nine ways to sunday in every other scene, and not a single shot of tit, ass, or bush?? :mad:

phil had the best line of the episode - "I gotta go try and take a ****." :lol:

and how about the fed dropping the tip to tony?? interesting, i thought.. but who\'s the one in danger?

well, here\'s a little farfetched theory to play along with wildcoyote - what if julianna was sent in by NY to take down chris, via an overdose??

think about it - it\'s a way for NY to take down one of NJ\'s top guys with clean hands. a julianna-influenced christopher overdose would look like it\'s his own fault, when in fact it was Phil & co. that took him down.. :chin:

no, i don\'t really believe that, but it\'s something..

anyways, i thought it was an average episode, and overall, an average season so far. i think it started off really strong, but started dropping off along the way, and has started to show the padding that has been needed to stretch out the show. remember folks, this show was originally written for four seasons. there\'s a lot of stuff happening that was never originally intended to happen.

me. I hated lastnights episode. boring.

Klout · « **Reply #142 on:** June 05, 2006, 01:55:32 pm »

so season six continues NEXT YEAR? wtf?

why didnt they just make another season...

I didnt think last night was bad at all. Kinda liked it actually. I felt like there was a lot of subtle but important things going on. May have to watch again to catch them all. Really glad that vito is dead tho and we are finally moving on. That just ate up waaaay to much time and was really not that interesting imo.

how bout the scene where the old FBI agent tells tony that brooklyn is plotting on him. THat was a great scene. So was the phil in the hospital scene. His henchmen are so weasely. TOny should knocked that little fag out when he stood in his way at the door.

great moment:

Tony:"lean on that building contractor guy"

Sil:"you said to lay off it"

Tony:"lean on him for all our sakes lean on him"

there was plenty of sex on the show last night..i think maybe too much and it just took up time out of the episode. also, i don\'t really mind that there wasn\'t a ton of nudity (aside from the stripclub) because i watched the show with my ENTIRE FAMILY last night. talk about feeling kinda akward sitting next to your dad. :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah:

\'Sopranos\' Stars Warn "Pay Rise or We\'re Off"

By WENN| Thursday, June 15, 2006

HOLLYWOOD - Cast members of hit mafia series The Sopranos are demanding higher salaries after the show\'s bosses secured a string of lucrative rerun rights and staggering DVD sales.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who plays Meadow, Robert Iler, who plays A.J., Steven Schirripa, who plays Bobby Bacala, Steven Van Zandt, who plays Silvio Dante, Lorraine Bracco, who plays Dr Melfi, and Tony Sirico, who plays Paulie \'Walnuts\', are all demanding a substantial rise before signing up for the final season, set to begin next month.

They\'ve reportedly threatened to walk out unless their wages more than double.

However, network HBO is only offering a fraction of their demands, and may be forced to write characters out of the series if they don\'t settle.

A source tells the New York Post, "It\'s coming down to the wire. HBO just doesn\'t want to pay.

"No one has deals and they\'re very far apart. [Show creator] David Chase has tried to help the actors, but even his pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

"The guys want (a new deal) to happen. These are the last eight episodes, and the money is going to be coming in for HBO for years to come. "But the actors get no residuals - and they want to be compensated.

"They\'re being treated like dog s**t."

An HBO spokesman refused to comment on the pay reports.

I would be really bummed if that was the last episode, or if they wrote people out too many people, it would be obvious and wouldn\'t work

oh, and speaking of the sopranos, anyone ever see the skit about the sopranos on PAX from madTV?

gotta be the best thing madTV has ever done. :thumbsup:
