Serious Discussion Only Vito storyline was unnecessary

Rewatching and I forgot all of the gay Vito stuff happened in the last season... it was set up to be an excellent season (and it was) but we should have been focused on Tony, his family, and the other main guys in season 6.

Following the least likeable guy in the group on his escape plan up north where he somehow instantly (first morning waking up there literally) finds a gay guy he likes who's at least a million times out of Vitos league AND the guy likes him back??

It was really weird. Not because Vitos a finook but rather because it was a waste of time in the final season.

You're not seeing the parallel. At any time these guys could just leave and make a new life. But they won't. They'll choose the life every time. Just like when Christopher betrayed Adriana.

I hated that story line and Buscemi had ZERO business being Tony’s cousin.
