On The Sopranos 6th Season

Brilliant. Thanks to David Chase for (1)not shooting Tony at the end of the 5th Season and (2) figuring out to have Junior do it in Episode 1 of the final season! With Episode 2, Chase gives Edie Falco her time to shine as she delivers one of the best performances on the program in any season. I'm inclined to go with SF Chronicle Tim Goodman's prediction that Carmela will end up running the business (Goodman also gives himself an out with other possible endings). Last night's Third Episode reveals even more about the true character motives driving Soprano mob members,Carmela ends up sitting in Tony's chair at Dr. Melfi's office, and Christopher's back pitching another film idea: "it's Saw meets Godfather 2." In a meeting with potential investors, Christopher gives the set up: "It's about a wise guy with a big mouth and bigger dreams."
