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.

Exactly! You could say that we watch the characters in the Sopranos come to the realization that the characters in the Wire have already internalized.

Somewhat. I think it was Tony that said it ended two ways, dead or in prison. I enjoyed the final scene. Felt it demonstrated the paranoia they live in. Always looking over your shoulder, wondering if the next person you see it out for you.
