The Sopranos -- As The World Turns for testosteronites. Yeah, it's had me from Hello too.
The Sopranos and their ilk are such creeps. Hopefully the last episode wipes 'em all out, like Orkin does vermin.
But odds are they'll just continue turning on each other. Not enough for fratricide, just enough to leave a couple survivors for a sequel.
Their appeal is so transparent. Everyone who has trouble playing with others can relate (BANG) to the Soprano (BANG) Solution (BANG BANG).
We study our enemies to survive them. And oh the lessons we learn from The Sopranos.
Sad that the greater general society can't seem to stomp 'em out for the greater good of all good citizens everywhere. Would be too much to hope for something like the shadowy FBI trackers finally gunning 'em down at the Okay Chorale.
That would be Elliot Ness and a different series.
The best ending would be the conflicted shrink, lying in a pool of her own blood after Tony finally snapped at her answering his questions only with more questions, feebly mouthing her last words, not supplicating the Great Beyond, but true to her profession to the end: "Now, how do you feel about what you just did to me?"
Then Tony slipping on her blood, crashing through the window and crushing his clueless family who have thrived on his banditry and extortion. Wipe out the whole DNA for a real finale.
Can't wait for the sequel!
