I have to admit, I was surprised.

You are being sarcastic, right? 🙂
No, he’s serious. You didn’t see the scene where the Christmas tree was rigged with explosives? It was very quick, so you might have missed it. Watch it again from the beginning.
Ken: Yes.
Rick, no more spoilers! 😉 Some folks Tivo’ed the season finale and haven’t watched it yet.
Without spoiling anything (I hope), I guess I’ve been conditioned to accept that every Season Finale(TM) should end with a dramatic cliffhanger, so that you’re watching every scene leading up to the end with a sense of, “OK, what’s just around the corner? Is he gonna get whacked here?”
Overall, the season was pretty weak. Definitely the weakest so far. I’m hoping the last 8 episodes are a lot better.
Once again, The Sopranos turns out to be the most innovative show on TV by turning the entire season on its head. (I know, I know. It’s not TV, it’s HBO.) They put the big drama at the beginning of the season and then limp to a finish. A warm fuzzy holiday dinner?!
It doesn’t matter. Deadwood has long since surpassed the Sopranos as the best show on TV. Al > Tony. Entourage isn’t in the same category but at least I don’t finish watching nearly every episode coming away disappointed like I do the Sopranos. How many good episodes were there this year? Tony getting shot and then the one where he and Chris went on the road trip.
Who was rigging the xmas tree? No whay! I thought this was an awful season, reminding me that much like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, most great shows peter out after 20-25 episodes, which is about the same number of chapters in a book. Tony laying up in a bed for several episodes was exciting — not! And then he spent the rest of the season taking guff off of that jerk dude from NY. And in this finale, it seems like the whole crew spent the entire show hopping in bed with the first woman they laid eyes on.
Dig up and bring back Vito! At least he wasn’t bed-hopping, ha!
Worst. Sopranos. Season. Ever.
Bah!
I’ve just been left flabberghasted with the ending of Prison Break Series 1. (just finished here in UK)
How dare they!!!!
