On the note of the Sopranos pilot--I was re-watching the first episode and it was funny how young everyone looked(AJ looks like he's about 11)... And it's weird(and sad now) to think James Gandolfini was in his late 30s when they started filming that show.
Yeah, I'm surprised. I would have thought he was 50 when the show ended. Early 40's when it started.
Bobby's comment in the boat scene was the clue for me. Something like you never hear it coming.
It's ironic that Bobby's own death was completely opposite of what he predicted it to be like. He saw the shooter. And he was pumped with round after round of bullets in the stomach rather than receiving some execution style finish. Possibly hearing every last one.

I was hoping that something would finally happen to Paulie Gaultieri. He was truly a horrible human being and always managed to escape unscathed. He was mainly responsible for the trouble between the Soprano family and Carmines (including Johnny Sack). He strangled that old biddy and stole all of her money. He was the true definition of a sociopath and yet he seemed to be rewarded for all of his evil crimes.
I thought Janice deserved more of a total ass whipping than she received. I was glad when that Russian guy smacked her but I think she deserved a lot more. She was as treacherous, lazy, disgusting individual. I thought it was great that she put Richie Aprile down like the animal he was, but I sort of wished he had smacked her couple of more times beforehand.
^Paulie did love his Ma, even if he robbed one of the girls.
One of my favorite scenes was when he and another guy (can't remember) went into a Starbucks type of place and tried to shake them down. He threatened the poor kid at the cash register and said that he would break their windows if he didn't pay up. The kid told him, the broken window would be replaced in an hour by the corporation that owns the store and the loss would be meaningless. It's all so true. Times have changed and small time thugs can't really shake down little store owners for protection money. Brilliant idea to depict the irrelevance of small time mob antics and the changing environment in crime.

He certainly wasn't a good person, but I loved Paulie Walnuts.
Paulie and Christopher in the Pine Barrens was The Sopranos at its finest.
