In fact I wanted it to happen, I cheered for it to happen. There have been a thousand flashing neon signs this season that it was going to happen. Of course sometimes neon signs on Sopranos end up being a Ain't Righthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185060251828114279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12622626.post-30365624904296647982007-05-14T14:29:00.000-05:002007-05-14T14:29:00.000-05:00Sheriff-Can't say that I saw the EX, but the revie...Sheriff-Can't say that I saw the EX, but the reviews have not been kind.

This show has consistently contained stunning uses of images and ideas while peaking in on a very dark area of society. The series strives to be hour long art films without being too flashy - yet it also comes off as poppy fun with mob plot lines and dark intriguingDamfinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347654187430048307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12622626.post-4587809311851236502007-05-14T09:30:00.000-05:002007-05-14T09:30:00.000-05:00Hey all.

Ultimately, I am finding this half season really frustrating, though I've been kind of frustrated for a while now. <BR/><BR/>Let me tell you why: it's quite maddening to see episodes that are as Matt said, well done pieces of individual work, only to see that they have not allotted nearly enough space to let these new conflicts breathe.

I thought the episode was really well done. I hated the actions done in it. I really dislike some characters in the show right now.<BR/>The Numb part accuratly describes my feeling towards nearly all of the Soprano's cast.
