The Sopranos Sucks Now
Tonight’s episode was just incredibly depressing. I don’t even feel inspired to make any great insights or interesting interpretations. It’s just terrible. I remember the first few seasons when Tony was depressed, but the writers and producers weren’t. There was humor and great action sequences. Now the humor is sad because it only highlights the hopeless stupidity of the characters, and the action is morbid rather than spectacular.
I think the voice of the writers comes out in AJ when he talks about how the world is so horrible and you’d have to be crazy to not be depressed. The complaints of the viewer are anticipated by Carmella telling Tony to stop playing the “depression card.” Of course her demand is rude and insensitive, but damnit is it too much to ask for one of the greatest shows in TV history to end its run with some entertaining episodes?
*SPOILER*
When AJ jumped into that pool I felt relieved that we wouldn’t have to focus on his stupid story any more. Unfortunately he didn’t die so we get to look at his horrible facial hair for at least one more episode. Jeez, somebody kill these people already.

Sopranos have been going down the drain pretty much since season 2. Things that frustrate me the most the show are as follows:
1. Pretty much as the end of the season, I believe the writers start running out of ideas or memorable dialogue for the characters. Therefore, to as time filler all characters that saying “Jesus Christ”, or “Jesus fucking Christ”. If you are not sure refer to season 5 or 6.
2. Again to fill up, they include a random fuck scene. Jesus Christ (shit I am using this inane word too) who the fuck is going to fuck a fat man like Tony Soprano?
This is how I imagine the writers have their meeting:
Lead writer: ok guys the show is suppose to be 50 minutes long, and we only have 30 minutes of decent plot. What should be doing?
Co-writer: how about every other from Tony or Carmella is “Jesus christ”..uhh?
Lead Writer: Jesus Christ that is a brilliant idea! This should fill up at least 10 minutes. What else?
Co-writer (2): Since majority of our audiance is males, how about we include a random fuck scene? It doesn’t have to make any sense..you know like the two characters are talking..and next second Bam! They are fucking like two rabbits on cialis.

That was so unbelievably AWFUL. David Chase, all the writers, producers, cast members, even the damn camera men should be ashamed. If you’ve never watched one episode of the show in your life, DON’T! As great as all the other seasons are; I would feel guilty recommending a series (that I’m sure you will consider one of “the greatest ever” after season 5) whose final season (especially final episode) are not only disappointing, or “un-Sopranos like”; season 6 is utterly AWFUL.
I can only liken it to a heterosexual man meeting the woman of his dreams; only to find out “she” has a penis. Awful.

I for one will never get sucked into another HBO series. The ending to the Sopranos was so bad that I am not even going to buy the episodes on DVD as I had planned!
