As the final season of The Sopranos is winding down, it is turning into less of the show that rocked television and more of something you would see on Lifetime, or daytime television like maybe Dr. Phil or Oprah. At this point, I really just hope it ends soon. Maybe one of the guys will come whack me and put me out of my misery.
Meadow lets the family know that she is no longer going to medical school, but instead is going to law school. All-in-all, that is not a bad thing. I mean having a doctor around is good, because they can patch you up. But generally when someone is whacked, there is no coming back. On the other hand, having a lawyer in the family is going to be a bigger help.
Meanwhile, Meadow is trying to convince AJ to pick things up at school – which AJ has actually quit – instead of being the delinquent know-it-all that he is. Not working too well, and AJ decides to take a swim with the fishes in the family pool – only he changes his mind partway through. And to illustrate the point that he isn’t very good at what he does, the line he ties to the concrete block is long enough that it would not have held him down anyway, so he now has to tread water until someone comes home. Moron.
After all of the family issues, Tony still has to deal with “work”, namely Phil. Phil reminisces about the problems he went through in prison – and I’m sure that was tough and all, but get over it already – and rejects Tony’s offer at making peace. So Tony takes Phil’s guys off the payroll on the job, and that leads to them beating up the foreman. Looks like there will be more trouble before this is finally settled. At least something is finally happening.
