Default Sopranos - Heading for the toilet?

My first time in this forum, I am assuming by the title of "Other Topics" I can post whatever in here, if I am wrong I apologize. Now to my post:
I am a die hard Sopranos fan but this season and most particular tonights episode is the absolute worst. It's the first time I got up before the show had finished and did not stay for the end. What is up this year? I was excited when I heard that Steve Buscemi was cast for the show and even his charactor is lame. Had to rant.

You liked the 25min dream sequence?

The season is ok. There are a lot of loose ends to tie up in 2 weeks.

At least there were no random shots of the Black Bear in the back year.

Oh, and where did the boy-friend, marriage thing go? He gets one f-d up, interesting episode and then...nothing.

Peace,
Joe Tall

I liked the dream sequence a helluva lot more than:

- anything to do with Melfi

- listening to Junior bitch about nothing

- the utterly unwatchable Carmela affair storyline

- Janice

I think I just don't like those damn dream episodes and I have been waiting for something big from Steve Buscemi, he is an actor that I really like and usually adds alot to any movie he is in. They just haven't shown enough of Pauly, Silvio and that gang as much this year. Even though I am ranting about the show this season guess where I will be at 9pm eastern next Sunday?

Yes, what is with the damn bear? My wife is convinced it's foreshadowing and that Carmella gets eaten alive in the final episode.

That's the way it works on the Sopranos. They start these really interesting plot threads and then they just abandon them.

I actually like it that way. It stops the show from turning into a soap opera.

I have been waiting for something big from Steve Buscemi

How much bigger than being the catalyst to an all-out war between NY and NJ can he be?

Buscemi has played his character's subtle animosity towards Tony S to perfection. Self-destructive, passive-aggressive. I think he deserves an Emmy. Totally psycho the way he plays up to Christopher on the farm then turns on him at dinner later with Tony.

I liked the dream sequence, too, but it was too long. They could've kept the drift and cut it by 4 or 5 minutes. Plus the show ended before 9:50. There's so much going on, I would have loved a couple of quick takes with Johnny Sack and Little Carmine. There's a shootin' war brewin' and a little more lead in from the NY side would be nice.
