"WOKE UP THIS MOOOORNIN', GOT YOURSELF A GUN!" Intelligentsia, did you see that?! Did you see it?! Just finished watching the next to the last season episode of David Chase's masterpiece HBO series, The Sopranos. Damn! It was UGLY SO GOOD! Cats getting stabbed up, beat with bats, the whole nine! Lost? Fuggedaboutit! Desperate Housewives? Fuggedaboutit! Like Eddie Murphy's barber character famously said in Coming To America: "Dem shows is goood, but compared to The Sopranos, dem shows ain't shit!" At least on HBO, you don't have to deal with 35 minutes of ad interruptions! And Jersey's favorite TV organized crime family layed it down MAJORLY in Sunday's episode!

Not going to spoil it for anybody about what happened. If you saw it, you know. If you didn't, check it out on ON DEMAND. Otherwise, you're fugazi.

I will say this, though, and you can check H2I archives on this (March 10 "Bada Bing!" post): ADRIANA AIN'T DEAD! Told you that bitch wasn't dead! That's the second time Ade (Drea de Matteo) has shown up in the new season since her widely "believed" wacking.

Not only did she show up again in Sunday's episode, but Carmela (Edie Falco), in the season finale preview that airs in two weeks, told Tony Soprano: "We should hire professionals to track Ade down." Granted, Carmela believes Adriana merely "ran off", but why would Chase even be going there? Because she's not dead, cafone!

Ooooh, Wheee! Can't wait for the season finale in two weeks! Sad news is we have to cliff hang until early 2007 to see the final 8 episodes. But if you're down with The Sopranos, leave a comment. Would love to hear your opinions and reactions . . .


Stay tuned, Intelligentsia . . .
