Is It Just Me?

Or does The Sopranos stink? All 3 of the episodes so far have felt like set up. Eventually you have to stop setting up and actually get to something! New York bosses keep getting whacked, but we don't even know who they are. Shooting a guy in the eye is cool and all, but I don't even know what his name was! The scenes with Uncle Junior and the ragin' Asian were funny, but seemed pretty pointless. It seemed to me like Tony wanted to kill Paulie on that boat. I hate Paulie and yet pity him at the same time. He lives a pretty pathetic life - he owns like 10 pairs of those white shoes. But he's annoying as hell and needs to shut the F up.

I knew that Tony wasn't going to kill Paulie on the boat. They just wanted us to think that, because it would be way cool if it happened. Instead, nothing happens and that is NOT way cool.

You're right, it was actually that much worse because they reminded us that cool stuff used to happen, like Tony whacking his best friend. But now he and Paulie are just two old guys who annoy each other like an old married couple. I guess that's the point they're trying to make, but if so then it's definitely time for this show to end.
