Great Lines: You missed one by Janice's Psychiatrist. I'm afraid I'll have to paraphrase now...
"You're just going to have to sit him down, and with the grace and compassion you're so famous for, tell him that it is over."
Ha!

A little early with this comment but I'm interested in what others might think anyway.
End of Season 5 - Does Tony "Find God" and enter Witness Protection or does he get knocked off by someone. In either case the show definitely ends with little hope of a sequel (Which is what Chase has said all along).
Any takers?

What I really thought was neat was the parallel that Chase drew between Carmella and Tony. If you watch carefully, you see how Carmella is treated by the other wives like Tony is with his crew. She gets a certain assumed status by virtue of her marriage (i.e. she is driven to and from the lunch, Silvio's wife stands up for her to the priest, she decides who will help out at the Bacala residence). It was subtle, but fun to watch.

To the writers: thank you for this critical analysis. As a common viewer of the series, I often notice double meanings and subtleties that I cannot quite verbally define. Redaing your reviews help me to make sense of all the "extra" information and themes that seem to be cleverly hidden with most great works of art particularly, in this case, the Sopranos. Thanks and please keep up the good work.

It would've certainly been a great twist in the story if Furio finally confessed his love to Carmella. I'm sure some excellent sub-stories could have originated from a confession like that. Moreover, it would've been great if Carmella just for a moment consented to fall on Furio's arms and for one time experience what her Tony does almost every week.

The writer of this article is a closed-minded, opinionated, blanket-statement-throwing pinhead. Open your mind! One small example -- Janice isn't the most irritating character to EVERYONE by a long shot! Your personal issues continually creep into your writing. Why do you assume we're all waiting for her to get knocked off? You reveal more about yourself and your troubled thinking than you realize!

Who is this "Radley" person anyway? We'd ALL like to see "the act" take place between Furio and Carmela? Speak for yourself, pal! Yeeeeeeesh...

Hmmm. I think someone has a different take on your libertarian rant ;):
