I have yet to see a series half as good as The Sopranos. Bravo to Tony Soprano. He's presented as a king; even the clothes he wears are kingly. In stature he resembles Eduard Manet's painting "The Rag Picker" in that he is a common man with royal attributes. Tony Soprano is a very nice, down to earth guy. You'd love him as a neighbor. And just like a king, he's powerful in many ways, yet impotent in many other ways. That's why he sees a shrink.

I suggest there's a chance that when the hit is finally done, they might go for the wrong person: after all, it is the whacko son who'll actually carry out the contract, and he didn't look too bright. And he's being led by senile old fools who can't see. This could lead to a very amusing and confusing set up some time down the track. ]]> 39508@blogcritics.org Mon, 26 Jan 2004 00:38:59 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/10/10/110532.php#comment-1371 The music from that episode, for those who are interested, was from a band from Naples, Spaccanapoli. Their only CD, containing those and other songs is available from Amazon. ]]> 1371@blogcritics.org Fri, 18 Oct 2002 11:08:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/10/10/110532.php#comment-1370 "Seemed a little farfetched that Meadow and Tony's shrink Melfi's son and Melfi's shrink Elliot's daughter all go the same school." Actually, they don't. Meadow and Saskia (Elliot's daughter) both attend Columbia, but Melfi's son Jason attends Bard College (David Chase's alma mater). ]]> 1370@blogcritics.org Wed, 16 Oct 2002 09:51:35 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/10/10/110532.php#comment-1369 Does anyone know the title and artist of the song that Carmella and Furio dance to at Furio's house-warming party? Thank you very much. ]]> 1369@blogcritics.org Mon, 14 Oct 2002 11:55:54 EDT
