"""I cannot recall becoming as engrossed in a TV series as I did the Sopranos. Never being an HBO subscriber, I came to it late, watching all of the shows within the last two months thanks to Netflix. Seasons 1 and 6 were Blu-ray, but none of the rest are yet available in that format. The acting was superior up and down the cast and the scripts were always interesting. The characters' constant use of malaprops was downright hysterical, and I still laugh about the """"16 Czechoslovakians"""" the """"interior decorator"""" Russian soldier killed.
I wish that writers had not left some themes hanging. The bear sequence led nowhere. My favorite episode was Paulie and Christopher chasing the Russian in the Jersey Pine Barrens, but we never found out what happened to the Russian or who stole Paulie's Caddy. The most glaring undeveloped theme was Melfi's rape. You just knew Tony was going to avenge it, but it never happened. In fact, that event went almost nowhere. What, therefore, was the point? Perhaps writers have something for Tony to do if they ever reprise the show. (On a personal note, I wish Paulie had been popped. If anyone deserved killing, it was he. Aida Turturro's fine acting made me want to see her dead, too - like 100 times.)
