Random Sopranos Observations
By The season thus far has been uneven, but The Sopranos is at such a high level that the low points are still pretty good. Some thoughts (including spoilers):
– Whatever happened to Bobby and Janice? It seemed, especially after the first episode, that they’d play some meaningful role in the Tony-gets-shot arc. Instead, Janice has been almost invisible, and the rehabilitation of Bobby as mobster hasn’t been nearly as rewarding as it could be.
– The scene last week between Meadow and Finn was rich. Finn has just helped sign Vito’s death warrant, and Meadow still wants to lecture him about Italian-Americans. I’m sure it will all work out…
– What would be the downside of just letting Vito go? I suppose that he’s more likely to go the Feds if he’s outside of the Family and running low on cash. Then again, he might just want to stay as far away as possible from his old life.
– I absolutely loved the Tim Daly subplot, and hope that they return to it. Christopher has actually managed to rub a couple of brain cells together and make something happen on this one; the idea for a movie is, remarkably, a pretty good one.
– If Rusty had taken over the New York family, would Johnny Sac still be in prison? Tony seemed to imply not in the meeting at the wedding, but I can’t imagine that Johnny’s recent ascension made him more legally vulnerable for the various past acts that the indictments must include.
– I had heard rumours that Furio would return at some point this season. No luck so far, but we can hope.
– Vito looked very cute in his motorcycle outfit.
That is all.
