The beauty of it was that I wasn't watching Tony Soprano. I WAS Tony Soprano. I was trying to function in a typical family setting, but couldn't get past the constant tension of never knowing what was coming next. I was in charge, but at the same time powerless. I have defeated my worst enemy, but am probably going to jail on a pathetic gun charge. My most loyal soldier can turn down my orders. My daughter shapes her life on a mafia upbringing - dispite my attempts to shield her from it. My wife focuses on the minutia of homemaking instead of the realities of our lives. My son is nothing more than a dilatant who waffles from one interest to the next aimlessly. The man who taught me everything no longers knows anything.
Yet I love them all.
And I will never know what is coming next.
Put me in the 41% who thought it was brilliant.
