AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around dissatisfaction with the ending of "The Sopranos," particularly the abrupt blackout that left viewers feeling cheated. Many participants express a sense of being robbed by the conclusion, emphasizing that it did not meet the high expectations set by the series. There is also criticism of the sixth season overall, with some feeling it lacked the intensity and excitement of earlier seasons. Specific grievances include the pacing of storylines, such as Tony's coma and Vito's arc, which some found dragged on too long. Additionally, the manner in which Christopher was killed off disappointed viewers, as they anticipated a more dramatic turn of events involving betrayal and conflict. Overall, the sentiment reflects a belief that the final season did not live up to the show's legacy.

Am I the only one who felt ROBBED by the Sopranos ending? After setting up one of the most deliciously tensed moment in TV history, I can't believe that they just Blacked it out! I felt cheated!

I can't wait for the last season to arrive on TV. Btw, I guess one always feels robbed by the ending of a great show such as this one.
 
Yes, I felt robbed. :mad: Actually, I wasn't too thrilled with the season as a whole. I was hoping that Phil and Tony would go to the mattresses as soon as Phil took control of the Lupertazzi family. The whole ordeal with Tony's coma and Vito's little trip to the country both lasted way too long, IMO. I wanted a higher body count. I was also disappointed with the way Christopher was killed off. When he shot his former AA sponsor, I thought for sure he would get pinched by the FBI and then flip over on Tony, who would then of course have him whacked out for betraying him. Now that would have been interesting.

I don't think that the 6th season is worthy of the previous 5 seasons.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
