Carmela gets a Porsche!
Well...it's March 13th. That means March 12th has passed, and so has the premier of The Sopranos.After almost two years gone by, we're back into looking forward to Sunday evenings with a vengeance (pardon the mob style adjective).
The producers and cast of The Sopranos have been promising edgy(er) scripts, "a lot of movement", and some surprizes...last night's first show didn't disappoint either one of us. In fact, the 'cliffhanger' ending was somewhat mindblowing (Tony getting shot by his uncle Corrado Soprano in a fit of dementia)...wow! Of course, we're 100% confident that Tony will survive...there are approximately 17 more episodes left to go between this season and next.
Loaded with several new additions that just appeared out of nowhere (with many more to come), Season 6 should not fall short of our expectations: a new baby (Janice & Bobby), a train set in Bobby's garage, a Soprano crew steps to the forefront (then abruptly hangs himself), the appearance of Adriana (in a Carmela dream sequence), a much thinner Vito, the Stugots II, and on and on.
Loretta and I settled down at 5:45 pm with our plates of Baked Ziti, glasses of wine, and Sopranos paraphenalia and were given a very satisfying fix of our favorite show. The Ziti was good (my second attempt at making this traditional dish), our dogs didn't bug us for an hour... and The Sopranos, Season 6 got underway with a couple of bangs, some blood splattering, a smidgeon of underhandedness, a suicide, a severe street beating, lost dentures, and the wounding of the main character. What more could we ask for? Not your cup of tea? Whatevah! Watch something else...or don't watch anything. For us, it made the premier of that polygamist, Bill Paxton show which followed, Big Love, unwatchable. In fact, we didn't even plan to watch that...it just didn't hold any appeal...so we didn't watch it. Fagedaboutit!
BTW...Carmela did get a new Porsche...the Cayenne SUV (another gift from Tony)...but a Porsche!
One of my favorite lines from last night's show: "Is that a catheter?"
Deadwood, Season 3 premier: this June.

My fave line was when Carmela asked Tony about his decision to stop taking anti-depressants, and he makes a reference to "the bonefish being back in season." Geddit? I got it. Had to explain it to Roth, though.
HI Mr. Skip, I came here via Jen's Blog. I can't wait to catch up with the Sopranos soon and appreciate all info I can get.
Husband and I are "trying" (can you sense the failure?) to not subscribe to TV again until the Spring because we were watching far too much junk. Anyway, that's neither here nor there, the countdown to TV is on and in the meantime I can catch up on shows via blogs like yours!
PS - You take beautiful pictures!
