Yea, completely forgot. I also thought Jackie Aprile was a bigger part of the show, not just one 3 fucking episodes. So much to take in, the world created in this show so huge.
Uncle Junior's quips and one liners are hilarious. He serves such a valuable role after his streak as the villain is over.
His storyline gets so sad though :( probably the most accurate depiction ive seen of aging and mental health on television
Phil Leotardo is great for comedy. The Sopranos always did a great job of playing a scene straight and letting its audience figure out the absurd.
How could characters return to a show set 40 years before the original that ended over 10 years ago? Are they going to make Tony Sirico look like teenage Paulie?
I'd imagine all different actors would just play the younger versions. They'll be a kid playing 8-year old Tony, and actors who looked similar to younger Livia, Johnny Boy, Uncle Junior, etc. from the flashbacks in episodes.
They should just make it a sequel. Silvio wakes up from his coma and moves in with Paulie. They get in all sorts of wacky hijinks as Silvio adjusts to 2018 America and Paulie getting even stranger in old age.
Meadow reconciles with Finn and they get married and have three daughters. Unfortunately, Meadow is killed by a drunk driver and Finn has to raise the girls by himself. Luckily, his brother-in-law AJ moves in to help out as he's trying to get his music career going. Finn's old college buddy named Joey also moves in as he's starting out in stand-up comedy. How can three men raise three girls? Hilarity ensues, cue laugh track, cut to commercial.
The Melfi scenes and storyline sort of got stuck in a loop during the middle of the show, but the Tony-Melfi scenes in the last season are incredible, probing conversations about questions that everyone faces. So many shows fall apart near the end, but the Sopranos kept getting better and better.
