Is there anybody else here who can't wait for the new season of the Sopranos. Man it has been a long time. I know they have disapointed some with the long hiatus and the content of the last year but I am really looking forward to what I hear will be a real shoot 'em up return season. When that music hits for the first time it will be the end to a very long wait.

By the way Pauly Walnuts is a SOPA member:D

    I loved the Sopranos the first few seasons, then I just watched them hoping something would happen. That's still the case. I make a special trip over to a friends house and watch them with him. So far, the Sopranos have progressed into disappointment. I hope this new season has a little bit more action...cos frankly I don't give a crap what Tony and his shrink have to talk about.

    So, how old Meadow is now? should pass age of consent, right? ;)
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Too much product placement... that's the only gripe I had about the episode. Let me see how much I remember:

    Porsche and Masserati (that wasn't so bad)
    Cingular (that was pretty blatant)
    Motorola
    there was something else... it was just awkward cause it was almost like saying "hey, here's a shot for this product and has nothing to do with the story".

    Yeah when I saw the cingular phone I was like WTF?? Tony should know better than to buy cingular service...they suck!!

    No seriously I thought it was way over the edge, anyone notice the **** plug-in? Yeah I was like man can they add anything else to this show? Hey how about Carmela holding up a can of pledge and saying how nice all of her furniture looks by using it.



    Oh yeah with all the faults the show was pretty damn good.

    I wonder if this whole Tony/Jr. thing is going to lead into Furio's return.

    "There a bee on your head" has been one of my favorite lines of all seasons combined.

    Come on Fella's you gotta admit when that music kicked in for the first time it was pretty effin great:D. Pretty decent show. I understand that they have to set things up and bring people up to speed. I have to admit the last 3 minutes was pretty intense. My two favorite scenes were 1) Bobby in the engineers cap and 2) Tony on the scales shedding gear and reweighing himself and when he hits 280 he kind of smirks and gives himself a small personal thumbs up. I kind of like my mob guys to have a human side.:).
    Lets hope they keep it rolling.

    I noticed the same thing and commented to my wife about it. It was getting pretty bad last season but this episode was horrible. I was getting tired of hearing him slurping and breathing!

    And anyone else notice that all the women in this show are BEEYOTCHES!

    Carm, Meadow, Charmagne (spelling?) and the new guys wife was being a huge pain in the ****. I was glad to see him hang himself if for no other reason to say "up yours" to his stupid **** wife!

    Boy what a sucky episode tonight. They wasted half the damn show on those stupid dream sequences. So far Im kinda disappointed with the new season. No wonder it was down 2/3's in the ratings.

    Well if they keep on at the pace theyre currently at, nobody will be left watching by the time they reach the last 8.

    Hell there were several times tonight I was wanting to flip over to The Family Guy instead!

    Aagghhh, the dream sequence!!!

    The last Sopranos dream sequence that I enjoyed was the one with the talking fishhead (I think that was after Big **** went "swimming").

    I understand that this season needs time to develop, but man, last night's episode could have been cut down to about 5 minutes.
    I did like how AJ tells coma-Tony that he's going to kill Junior. That could lead to some nice gangland war if the New Jersey crew assumes that it was Johnny Sack's crew in NY.

    Anyway, HORRIBLE episode last night..... but I'm still hooked on The Sopranos.

    I had to keep checking in the beginning to see if I was watching some rerun or had missed something, his daughter is pathetic looking she is battling anorexia according to my MRS. She needs to get her lips around some Whoppers.

    Yea, Tony needs to get up and get a good looking girl to get Carm all fired up again and call her B/F back from whereever he went, Dang I wonder if they will let me write the show!!!!!!!!! The scumbag in prison needs to get hit by one of Tony's old guys who is locked up and thinks what's his name ordered a hit on Tony, this will start a "family" war, come on I hope it gets better.

    One thing, I freaking hate AJ! God I wish somebody would kill him off!!!

    And Tony needs to lose some weight! My God, he looked like Jabba the Hut sitting on that motel bed!

    Meadow is still delicious! Anorexic or not! Yummy!!!

    I guess she is ok if you like bones sticking you, ok, I'd hit it in a heartbeat!!! On a serious note I hope she beats it, as its a terrible thing, I had a coworker die from it about 10 years ago.

    The kid playing AJ is coming out into his own, yea, dont like him either. In the real world he would be getting ready to take over, but he is going to be a PETA or ENVIRO advocate. Tony should take some scissors to that young man!!! Wait what am I saying RT1 was a long hair in the 60's-70's.
