Harold_Z Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 So that's four times in one episode, too many to be coincidental, I'd think. Is this a setup for further plot twists, a one-time highlighting of one of this subculture's traits, the writer making a political point, or just what? I think the writers are commenting (and burlesquing) on the convenience of using a highly visible group as a scapegoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 If you go to the HBO website you'll see that the episode is entitled "Unidentified Black Males". So yes, the writers are obviously making a political point about scapegoats. (The black males in queston are not only "unidentified", they're nonexistent.)

jlhoots Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 It's still the best show on television. Otherwise we wouldn't discuss it this much. BTW, Deadwood (IMHO) continues to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Right on both counts, jlhoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEK Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I actually look forward to "Deadwood" more than the "Sopranos" now. I think that the writing is better, the stories are fresher, and even the characters are generally more resonant and compelling. The Sopranos has lost a step or three, but I'll keep watching it to see what happens. So, in my humble opinion, The Sopranos is still the best show on television, except for Deadwood. HBO Sunday nights is where it's at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 And 6 Feet Under returns in June. Wonder what's going on with The Wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I love The Wire, it's a great show. I lost interest in Six Feet Under last season, and have no intentions of watching it in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hey, Jim, how is Feech LaManna doing? Any word on him coming back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Feech is now in the land of missing characters never to be heard of again, along with Furio, Larry Barese, his brother Albert, Ray Curto the still active captain turned snitch, and.....

PHILLYQ Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Who do you think is pulling Tony B's strings? If true, Jim, that is a diabolical plot twist and I hereby nominate our own Jim Sangrey to be a writer on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Who do you think is pulling Tony B's strings? If that was true, Tony B would not be in need of money. He would be running the lawn care racket Feech left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use3D Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Anyone know what season of Six Feet Under HBO is on? I've downloaded all the way up to season 3 and want to know where I'm supposed to be at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use3D Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 At any rate at least i'll know whats going on. I love that show. Deadwood is okay but i think the swearing is a tad extreme and doesn't really add anything to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Nooooooooo.... I'll wait until the end of the season just to make sure, but I'm pretty sure I lost that one. No sense in making the same mistake twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Another good show last night. The situation between Johnny Sack and Tony S. continues to worsen, but I think Johnny is too good a character to write out before the final season....but then..some of the writing is bothering me. For instance...going by the previews (which can be misleading ) - Are we supposed to believe that Tony S. bought Tony B's story about not doing the Joey Peeps hit?

catesta Posted May 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Are we supposed to believe that Tony S. bought Tony B's story about not doing the Joey Peeps hit? Not much Tony can do to makes things right with Johnny since he included himself in the lie. I don't think Johnny is going anywhere this season, although it looks like Tony may now be forced to partner up with little Carmine before it's all said and done.

PHILLYQ Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 - Are we supposed to believe that Tony S. bought Tony B's story about not doing the Joey Peeps hit? Tony S. confronted Tony B. about his role in the Joey Peeps slaying, telling him that he didn't want him acting as a free agent. He also had that panic attack on the golf course when Johnny Sack told him that the killer limped away. Tony S. is protecting one of his own, blood family as well as mob family, and this will cause a war with some dire consequences(Who does Phil Leotardo whack?). Did anybody catch the O.J. Simpson reference in last night's episode? Tony S. is complaining about Johnny Sack not believing him in regards to the story about Tony B. not being involved in the Joey Peeps hit, and Tony S. says "Why doesn't he look for the real killers? Instead he spends his time on the golf course." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Episode was directed by Mike Figgis. Pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyDay Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 This was a good episode but I was taken at some point by how unlikable these guys are. There was that idyllic comraderie that existed bwteen Tony B and Chris up in the country then Tony S shows up and it all changes. Chris' eternal pouting, and the relentless insults from both Tonys. Tony jabbing at Janice until she flips out. What dysfunctional families the blood relatives and business associates are. I think Tony had a hard time seeing Janice clean up her act and he wanted to bring her down. Like he got on Chris for his sobriety and being such a wet blanket. Tony S sows seeds of discontent everywhre he goes and he delights in it. And I loved that Carmela told the school counselor she was going back to Tony. I expect him to move to the North Pole.
