I've always loved this show, but I can't help thinking they've been stretching it a little bit the last season or two. Especially after Steve Buscemi was dropped, I haven't felt the same way about it. Still, better than most of the shite on telly these days.
they might as well just do a full 13, so we get the full-arc feeling of a true season of the sopranos.
Yeah but that would probably mean waiting another two years for them to film an entire season. Nothing in Sopranoland is ever done quickly. I'm pretty sure the reason it was delayed already was because of contract disputes. These were major characters, not just secondary ones like Uncle Junior or something. I remember reading Sil, Paulie, and Melfi at one point being considered to be written out of the show. How the hell can you just write out Sil and Paulie, it would never work. The problem with last season is how they just wrote Meadow out of the show. One minute she was there, the next minute she was in California with Finn. The only other time you heard about her was in the finale when she was on the phone at Christmas. You didn't see her, or hear her voice, or anything.
Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

they claimed that they delay was due to a knee injury suffered by gandolfini.
i consider meadow much less of a significant charachter than uncle joon. mefli...never...can't see it. hard to see it w/o sil or p. walnuts either.

I thought Meadow was a pretty important character. They kept throwing around these hints last season that Meadow would somehow be involved in Tony's business. The Johnny Sack episode at the wedding where shere she acts disguted about how the federal government is treating him, and when she gets the internship at the law office, there is a comment made that led me to believe she would never be taken seriously because of who her father is. To me that would have been a very interesting storyline to see Meadow become Tony's lawyer. Instead we're stuck with idiot AJ and his Puerto Rican girlfriend. At least Vito is dead, so there will be no more Johnnycakes.

meadow's character is in college and very politically verbal. the writers used it as a vehicle to inject their political views into the show. she said carmela didn't relate to black people clinging to logs after carmela said she voted for bush. there's a couple of others that i can't think of at the moment, but she's a completely anciallry character.
I KNEW you'd have the answer to this. My roommate and I were looking everywhere for the date of the first new epi. I told her I had a friend who would know for sure. I was right.

I've been watching the early episodes trying to get caught up before the last part of the season starts in April. Also have been watching Season 6 again via reruns.

What a fucking awesome show.
Me too, never watched it in my life until A&E put it on. Now I am addicted. I freaking love this show. I've got a lot of catching up to do!
I'm going to do that this weekend. It's just not the same without the swearing. Are you renting it or bought the box set?
At Family Video here in Des Moines, they rent out each 4 episode disc for $1!
Pretty good deal, except the one I have right now is totally scratched up and doesn't work.
After I saw a scene get chopped up last night, I realize I have to just go rent the real thing!
you should sign up for a free blockbuster ot netflix trial if you haven't done so already. it's a great way to catch up on the sopranos. after blockbuster rolled out the total access program, i was able to get another 2-week free trial.
I wasn't a fan of last season, but I've been rewatching a lot of the episodes on HBO over the past few weeks and they do stand up.
As I've told YIH, the season with Joey Pants (as Ralph) and Pie-O-My (the horse) was great.
Paulie saving Tony's picture with the horse and hanging it in his living room was hilarious.

Either way i am really excited to see how it all ends.
i heard it was 8, and season 6 just ran a full 13-epsiode season, so technically--even if it is a short season--it's season 7 that premieres in april.

Believe it or not, he injured it riding a Vespa scooter.
I'd like to see video footage of that.

I'm catching up via DVD. I can't handle the editing or commercials. I'm up to Season 2, episode 2 after two weeks.
I'm going to do that this weekend. It's just not the same without the swearing. Are you renting it or bought the box set?

you should do yourself a favor and stop watching the hacked-up versions that a&e airs and watch them as they were intended to be viewed.
"and onward goes this thing of ours."
ABSOLUTELY.
Oooh....I can't wait for it to come back. GOOD times.
