My gf and I started watching the DVDs of Sopranos from season 1 and up.. We loved Seasons 1-3, though season 4 seemed to go down hill a bit. IMO, it was stupid how they killed off Ralphie when he was such a good character.. had a lot of depth. It's like their formula just turned into 'kill off character; introduce new character; repeat.'
Though, Furio being 'in love' with Carmela was stupid. Furio was too cool of a character to all of a sudden ghey it out and be in love.
But season 5 has sucked enough that I think we're just gonna quit watching Sopranos altogether. The massage parlor guy trying to go legit was a pretty neato twist.. It was cool how the asian dude wanted to invest in him and he was getting his shop started. Then, all of a sudden, he gets pissed for some reason and decides to beat the crap out of the asian dude. WTF is that? He studies for years and works at a sh!tty job for a year to go legit.. then he finds some money and that makes him unstable? There's like ZERO explanation other than yet another freaking character has a total anger management problem besides Chris, Tony, Ralphie (when he was alive), Paulie, etc. It's like the writers aren't even trying give reasons for their stupid behavior any more.
I don't think I can watch this show any more.. Did they fire all their original writers or something? The show was AWESOME in Season 2.. and then it's just gone down hill. I hear Season 6 is even worse.
Bleh..
It's like all the cold, calculating characters are gone.. I mean Sidd seems to be one of the only guys left that thinks before he acts, but you see so little of him that the show just seems to be removed of anything intellectual.
EDIT: Oh ya.. I'm like 6 episodes into Season 5 and haven't seen anything later yet.
