We may try to hate Tony, but our love for the careworn killer wins out. It's that moral perversity, in the age of Bush, that I'll miss most about "The Sopranos."
  • We? Not all, I think

    See, back when it was first starting up and I heard how great the show was, I thought I'd give it a try. But, to me, once you've callously murdered somebody, that's pretty much it. You've earned my contempt, and I'm not much interested in whatever problems you claim to have. Why would I want to watch you kill more people week after week? So it's a commentary of some kind? I don't know; I don't care. There are better things to do with my time.

    So it was with the Sopranos for me. The show is wrapping up, and I have no idea why I should care who makes it through to the end. Keep it simple: If the character was a cold-blooded killer, then the world will get along just fine and dandy without them, even if they did have a way of popping up a few minutes later as their old crinkly-eyed self.
