The Sopranos had worn out its welcome with me. I thought it should have ended about two years ago. Turns out I was wrong, because if it did, we wouldn’t have had a scene with a kid taking a crap in a gym shower and stepping in it. So now I love The Sopranos again! That was pretty great – I love Goth Vito Jr.
I also like how Tony is out of control with his gambling. Watching him lose was tough. And then he and Carmella had a great fight about it.
But the show is still terribly random. Why did Hesh’s girlfriend (have we ever even met her before?) have to die in her sleep? Random. That’s indicative of the way this season has been. Little segments of stories, not really all weaving together. We visit with Johnny Sack one week, Uncle June the next week. We get AJ breaking up with his girlfriend. Meadow’s pretty much MIA. And then that Middle Eastern guy from last season shows up on the street. Again, no reason, just random.

Exactly-- we find ourselves asking-- why does this matter, why are they showing us this? And we expect an answer, but there is no answer. Only 5 more hours of our time to waste!
Jen's right, it's totally jumping around, the gambling storyline was unnecessary just like plots about AJ getting dumped, Uncle Junior getting beat up, the trip to FL, and the fight at the cabin. Until this week I thought it was all set up, but with 5 episodes there's only so much you can wrap up, plus next week looks like they're adding one more storyline with Chris and Paulie going at it. But, crapping in the shower was another classic sopranos moment....so I guess it's still worth watching.
