Can you feel sorry for a guy in the Mafia whose just been outed as Gay?

[trumad]

This season one of the Soprano characters is a Captain in Tony Soprano's crime family. The dude's a crook and a killer---and he's Gay.

Well--- he was outed in last nights show and he fled to New Hampshire to hide.

Somebody on DU this morning hoped that Vito (the characters name) would live happily ever after in New Hampshire running an Antique shop. LOL

8. Can you believe how GOOD

this second season is?

Did I see Hugh Laurie on the cover of Newsweek today at the market? I went by fast, but, I swear, there he was.

That show makes me think there's hope for American intelligence.

Oh, who am I kidding ................

10. I LOVE that show. I LOVE Hugh Laurie. I was so glad he won an Emmy.

I cannot believe it is on FOX!!! That station has too many good shows!!!
The repeats are on USA on Fridays at 11PM

I will have to run out and get Newsweek.

2. You need 'spoiler' in your title: I taped it and haven't seen it yet. nt

3. You can't feel sorry for that character on any level...

One of the things I learned as an English major is the concept of a "tragic flaw"...someone who's basically good on a number of levels, maybe even noble, but they have this one...little...problem...

It could be excessive pride, envy, greed, just something that has "train wreck" written all over it.

But Vito...I don't really understand what they're trying to do with that character, because he doesn't seem to have a single redeeming characteristic.

:toast:

5. He's annoying and creepy

but everyone, including his wife, says what a great father he is. So he has one redeeming quality: he's a good family man.

[aikoaiko]

7. He's an earner and a made guy.

Not so easy to take him out.

[AllieB]

4. I can feel bad for him having to hide who he really is

but he's still a killer and a crook.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

9. He's a ruthless killer

a thug and a conspirator. He's also abusive.

But yeah, sometimes you do feel sorry for him. That's the beauty of the show.

[William769]

11. I hope he lives happily ever after on the show.

If this was real life. A Thug is a thug is a thug.

[Jazz2006]

12. Hee hee - Well....

he did look rather wistful in that antique shop. Perhaps he will settle down with the fellow who served him in the little diner down the street.

:shrug:

13. It looks like the mob discriminates against gays too

Here he is a great hit man--a totally cold, calculating killer, and they will want to off him now because he's gay.

[Lefty48197]

14. Boy has that show jumped the shark

They always out somebody as gay when a show is on it's last legs.
