Sopranos: Speaking of Bushwhacked
May I have your attention for just a moment: More folks watched the series finale of ALF than the series finale of The Sopranos.
NBC's ALF, much like the Sopranos left the viewers asking questions:
[In the series finale,] Alf is about to be rescued by other survivors of his home planet, but is instead captured by the American military, and the viewer is left to ponder Alf's ultimate fate.
So for all y'all bemoaning The Sopranos lack of narrative closure, rest assured that another saga of White People Behaving Badly will be reinvented and reinterpreted for your viewing pleasure soon enough.
Meanwhile, the implications of secretive militaristic imprisonment, torture and illegal confinement of "aliens" continues unabated.
Poor ALF.
I hope he's not in Guantanamo.
Or Poland.
Or Romania.
Or God knows where.

Posted June 13, 2007 09:09 AMI didn't even know 'The Sopranos' was still on until everyone got so worked up over the finale. I question the ability of these fans to parse for text, let alone subtext. There was even less visual closure in the series finale of 'Angel', but you didn't see us crashing websites and crying into our USA Todays on Monday morning.

I thought "The Sopranos" was about opera singers....
