A tribute to Paulie Walnuts

[Paulie and Christopher botched a killing and are lost in the woods]
Christopher: For all we know, he could be out there stalking us.
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: With what? His cock?

One day AS(after sopranos) and still considering the ultimate episode. It was that good, and Pine Barrens was on A&E tonight. Paulie making a rudimentary shoe out of carpet from the back of a random van. How does Chase come up with this shit?

No longer. If anyone predicted the show would end with "Tony, AJ and Carmella eat onion rings while Meadow tries to parallel park the car and Journey plays in the background" well -- I will buy you meats.

You know its a good show when the full power of the internets is devoted to analyzing what the hell the final scene meant and it's still ambiguous. Life goes on? Tony dead? The American dream? My blogging skills are far too shitty to try to break it down.

But anyhow, in a show full of great characters, I would just like to remember the one and only Paulie Walnuts. Paranoid, deadly and ridiculous, after all these years I have to say he's my favorite. The last conversation he has with Tony, where he tells him he lives to serve him, "his liege" and then pulls out a tanning mirror sums it up perfectly.

Its TV as art, but still somehow not as good as The Wire.


Literally go fuck themselves. Educational and informative.
