I’m wrapping up Season 4. No way will I be finished by October 1st.
Yeah I'm 2 into 6. So I think I have like 18 episodes to go. Will be tough.
To me, one of the reasons the later seasons were not as good as earlier ones is AJ. That kid sucked as an actor and the character stinks. Yet he's given a lot more screen time towards the end for some reason. I can't stand AJ.
I'm in Kevin Finnerty Land at the moment...
One of the worst characters in TV history. I know teenagers are generally assholes but my god AJ is the worst. Horrible actor and character.
The Finnerty episodes were tough to get through but they didn't go on as long as I thought they did. Feels like they were half the season but was only a couple episodes.
Yeah I thought that too the first time through. I think he comes out of it at the end of the next one (3). The Finnerty stuff isn't bothering much actually. I felt the acting in the hospital (especially Edie Falco and other than fucking AJ) has been stellar.
Agree with everyone about AJ. Couldnt stand the character or that chunky spoiled looking kid who acted

AJ was more re entertaining when he was chubby.
I’m in the Feech section. Loved (yet again) Junior seeing Curb on TV and thinking Larry and Jeff were him and Bobby

As bad as AJ was (the character and the actor), the scene in Season 6 when Tony has to save him in the pool blows me away every time. Watching the mood change from Tony’s panic when he sees what’s happened, to his anger at AJ, then to a dad cradling his crying son is heartbreaking.
Plus Tony follows this up with another great line: "He could just be a fucking idiot. Historically, that's been the case."

Classic scene.

We loved the one when Chrisopher and Paulie are stranded in the snow and find a sachet of ketchup. We also love the one when C received an intervention. Fureo was a cool character and there's a few good episodes with him and Mrs S.
I agree with the comments about Janice and Tony Junior. I love Lorraine Bracco and she seems like she has a really fun personality in interviews.

Pine Barrens is one of the best episodes if not the best because of the how stupid Paulie was in wrapping the package when he had to do was get the money off the entertainment center at Valery's apartment.

“He was an interior decorator!”
And the scene with Furio and drunk Tony next to the helicopter…beautiful.

Man, 6A was kind of tough to get through between Vito and AJ. I was hoping to gain some more appreciation for it but that was not the case. It was hilarious, though, when Tony had Fin come in to give his first hand account of Vito's homosexuality to the guys at Satriale's. Meadow threw him under the bus there...good move on his part getting out of that engagement.
Couple episodes into 6B now. Show feels like it righted the ship when it started to head into the final stretch.
I actually forgot that Chris had an affair with Julianna Margulies's character--the one Tony wanted to get with. Much like with Tony and Carmella, I find myself always rooting for Tony and Chris to get along and bury the hatchet of past grievances. Alas Mr Moltisanti's days are numbered...

Still not done with Season 5, dammit.
I did finally try sour cream in eggs last night. Bravissimo!

Two to go. Planning on watching them late this afternoon, leading into the movie tonight.
Watch how it ends and then find out how it started. Can't wait. Happy Sopranos Day!

Think I will watch tomorrow evening. Watched a few random season episodes, I'll just have to enjoy it for what it is and what I don't remember from the original series.

Yeeeuuuup....was up till about midnight finishing the series and then watching the movie.
I enjoyed it and loved all the references to the show (they were rapid fire throughout) but....if this wasn't Sopranos related and just a regular mafia movie, I don't think I would have liked it much.
So glad I did the re-watch though. But sad it's over. lol
I haven't seen it yet but the mixed reviews lead me to believe it's leading to a sequel that perhaps tells more of Tony's backstory. Personally, if they did more prequels, I'd love to see the backstories of people like Johnny Sack and Phil Leotardo.

Do I have the discipline to watch the last two seasons before watching the film?
Whaddaya think?
