Is anyone else sick of the Sopranos not building up to anything spectacular yet? What are they waiting for?

Question

You'd think with only 3 episodes left of a show thats been on for around 10 years, there'dbe something going on besides just the usual tension between NY and NJ. Yeah, Chris' death last week made things interesting, but the next 45 minutes were mostly uneventful. Then you see another set of previews for next week where everything seems to come together and take off, just to be disappointed again 7 days later.

It also seems as if they're really desperate for storylines. Tony has just apparently become a complete sociopath, wanting to kill someone in just about every episode, first Bobby, then Paulie, then Hesh, until he finally follows through on Christopher. And after being partly in the numbers business most of his life, how did he all of the sudden become a gambling addict, then be cured a week later? Apparently all those years of therapy aren't helping.

Answer 1

Good points! Even though Christopher's death was shocking, they should have put it at the END of the episode to make it more dramatic! And the rest of the episode was a bit boring. And AJ is turning into a sociopath himself ever since that Spanish bimbo dumped him! Hopefully things will pick up the next 3 episodes and the series will end with a bada bang!

Answer 2

i'm giving david chase the benefit of the doubt and trusting him that the show is going somewhere. Apparetly he knew from the start how it was going to end so we will see if he is just messing with us with the seemingly boring and pointless subplots (ex: Vito jr, Hesh being repaid, etc.)
