The sopranos is awesome, I do not have HBO but I just spent the last month watching every episode from the 1st 4 seasons on dvd.
I am clearly hooked.........
SSS
I'm really anxious to see the viewer figures for tomorrow's show. Not only is the show popular in its own right, but there is this pent up eagerness based on the long absence. and the advertising campaign on cable and network TV plus the print media is among the most intense I can recall for a returning show.
I gotta stress this again: My guess is that they are gonna turn Tony into a monster.
Ton-Y, Ton-Y, Ton-Y...Come on, folks join in the chant.
Frank, They don't have that far to go if they're gonna turn Tony into a monster. I still get a bit of a shiver when I remember Tony offing a guy while Meadow was at a college interview. Then he picked her up and didn't bat an eye. Didn't break a sweat.
Swimpy, I'm with you. Ton-Y, Ton-Y, Ton-Y.
A long wait, but worth it.
Very unusual first chapter!
Oh yeah, good first season episode...quiet, unexpected a bit...loved it.
A good opener offering a basis for many plot threads. I particularly liked the unity of Christopher and Paulie when facing the waiter. (Woe unto he who faces up to a member of the mob.) Obviously the "nicey nicey" will be short lived.
I love this show! Hands down the best written, acted and directed drama on TV.

THAT was SO evil!
Having worked for a short time in the food service industry back in the 80's, I can tell you nothing is tackier than following a customer to the parking lot to gripe about a bad tip. That little weasel had forfeited so much of his dignity he deserved to die.

Yeah, man. You're right. Death to Moochers!
I thought that episode was kind of a weak kickoff to what will obviously be a violent, bloody, occasionally disgusting season.
I really enjoy this show and its characters, but I think I'm going to be revolted as it unfolds. That seems like a bad thing, but I'm sure I'll still watch.
I did enjoy the opening episode -- Tony's beginning to play the cards he's been hiding and more will be revealed. Anyone watching this show and not expecting that violence will play a role in this final (?) season should watch "The Godfather." Of course -- the cozy little Italian family aspect even with it's ups-and-downs has to take a second seat to the real theme of the show. It's about murderous gangsters and it's done without any particular moralizing except that some of them get their due. Isn't that like real life?
The confrontation and murder outside the restaurant reminded me of the scene in the car in "Pulp Fiction." The series doesn't just draw from past Mafia films.
I'm more curious about Tony and Carmela's separation that anything else. How do you walk out on a mob boss? Put him out of his own house?
By the way, why did they separate? Was she just fed up with his work or his hoochies? Did someone call her? I caught a glimpse of that the other night.
