THE SOPRANOS - Season 2.13 - FUNHOUSE

This is how you end a season?  With a whimper?  Tony and his crew finally confront Pussy and kill him aboard a yacht.  The problem is, we're expecting some kind of twist.  Maybe Pussy will out-think the feds.  Maybe Pussy will get Tony is serious trouble.  Maybe Pussy will sacrifice himself and take out one of Tony's enemies.  We're expecting something huge.  Instead, this subplot is handled strictly by the book.  No surprises at all.  A waste.

Tony gets food poisoning and begins to hallucinate and suffer fever dreams.  All of his fears come to the surface.  One has him dying of a terminal diseases and so he pours gasoline on himself and lights a match.  The dreams are a sloppy way to send the season because the plot isn't furthered.  They simply play as padding.

Now that the season is over, what was the need to add Furio's character?  You would think he's going to play a vital role but instead, he's just another henchmen that adds nothing at all to the ongoing plots.

This second season has been a huge disappointment.
