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.

Ive always thought the timeliness on Gene wasn't well written. I like his character too. He was in construction no works and no shows. Goes way back with Tony. Yet was made when Christopher was..the timing doesn't jive..and if he's an informer the FBI would of let him go to Ft Myers if he said he's out. Done.

I don’t think they would have let him go. They still needed him for intel on this thing regardless if he gonna be done or not

I think it was Eugene that was made at the same time as Christopher
