The Sopranos Thread

[YYZ]

I know, it's not politics or college sports, but I saw the Deadwood thread and thought this certainly deserved its own space.

Right... I like this season so far. Paulie hitting that guy in the head with the shovel and dropping the other guy our of the tree was priceless.

Predictions...

-- The Adrianna/FBI things gets exposed, soon... Christopher has to take a side.

-- Tony has Johnny Sack whacked to solidfy his position with little Carmine, who takes over that NY family.

-- Furio shows up out of nowhere (I hope).

-- Paulies gets whacked.

One of the most overrated shows in television history.

I know I'm new here, but where I come from people back up statements like that with some facts... care to elaborate?

However, I can't help but watch it and not think about how much shows or movies of this genre owe to "Pulp Fiction". Think about how many movies and series since Pulp have shown the mobster/ganster as a regular guy with a sense of Humor. As great as "The Godfather" was, you never heard Michael being funny. As for predictions, Little Carmine and Adrianna will be whacked by the end of the season. Tony will end up banging Little Carmine's wife.
