Shark Jumping, 101
Note to David Chase...Your show SUCKS!
Your once glorious, wonderful, best show on television is now just a poor imitation and caricature of itself!
The season started out interesting with the "other life" plot and the struggle for power within the "family." Now, Tony is awake and it's business as usual for the viewer. Which is to say, I want a fucking refund!
It's the writing that sucks, with all of the dropped plots (see: the Russian in the woods or Furio in love with Carmella) The writers continue to paint themselves into corners and then wait for the paint to dry before just moving on to the next room, leaving the corner untouched! Never and explanation for the huge hole in the story. Never!
So far this season has been about five things...
1. Tony getting shot and almost dying.
This was dramatic for about 2 seconds until the viewer said to themselves "There are 19 more of these turds to view. I doubt I'll be viewing them without Tony"
2. Paulie's Nun of a mother.
This wasn't interesting for even two seconds.
3. The gay mobster.
Holy shit! When I saw him dressed in the motorcycle leather I nearly cried. Hopefully this gets resolved this week. Otherwise, we will be dealing with another Adriana and the FBI sub plot. The 20 week variety that only got resolved because of another turd named "Joey"
4. Artie's restaurant.
Was I the only one wishing Vinnie Delpino shoved his whole head into the pot of sauce instead of the hand?
5. Christopher's movie.
The Ben Kingsly cameo wasn't funny it was lame, just like the whole fucking subplot! Really the bottom of the barrel.
What I can't figure out is what took so long to get this shit on the air? Two friggin years of waiting for this shit?
Huh?
If this was the best they could come up with I wish they had just stayed away. David Chase should be strapped to a chair and be made to watch "Deadwood", "Rescue Me", and the first two seasons of "The Sopranos" until he remembers what good television is all about.
Cause, this ain't it.

Welcome back! It's been awhile and I missed reading your rants. Unfortunately, I don't have HBO, so I can't comment on your post specifically, but it's cool reading a new offering by Annoyed.

D,
Good to be back!
11 straight, 80+ hr. work weeks kept me away. I'll have some time now and have lots to post about!
ANNOYED!!! Eeeee! *squeals like a little girl* It's so good to have you back! I figured it was your job keeping you away and not that you suddenly hated us or something. :)
I've never seen the Sopranos, because I don't have HBO, but it sounds like I should be glad! I remember when it first came out how upset many of my relatives were at the portrayal of Italians. I figure that if I'm proud to be Italian (and I totally am), then who cares how some fake Italians are shown in a show on HBO? (I say "fake", but many of them ARE Italian actors) I always wanted to see the show, but I suppose if I get to someday, I'll want to watch older stuff. :)
Thanks for the new post, Annoyed. I really am glad to see you back, and I can't wait for more rants about stuff.
Speaking as someone who's part (mother's side)Italian, the show doesn't offend me with it characters as much as its' shitty scripts.
It really was the best thing on TV when it first came out.
If you get a chance borrow the first two seasons from someone on DVD. Reallly, really great stuff.
And it was work keeping me away, never you :-)
I have only seen the first couple of seasons, rentals, and was disappointed at the shows progression with the plots and sub plots (with no closure). I haven't had cable for almost 6 yrs and don't miss a thing about it. Not to mention that I don't find myself yelling at the TV.
Enjoyed the posts and comments, annoyed or not.
Glad to have you back! I've only seen 2 episodes of the Sopranos (I was staying in a hotel; we've never had HBO at home) and I really liked. I have it on my Netflix queue, but I haven't gotten around to getting it yet. Now that it's back on, season 1 disc 1 has a wait anyway.
shutup you pussy loser! If you hate the show so much then don't fucking watch it!
