Bing Bada Boom!

In all the "Sopranos" finale predictions, how come I'm not reading much about Janice?

Janice has always been craziest person on the show. Totally amoral, monumentally manipulative, and, not even remotely concerned with her own awfulness, Janice combined every creepy characteristic of every "Sopranos" creep in one Medusa-tendrilled package. Think Tony's casual violence, Carmella's mendacity, Livia's treachery, Christuh-fuh's impulsiveness...and on and on and on.

Janice stole an amputee's prosthetic leg. She made plays for the two guys who would most annoy (and threaten) her brother. And when Richie Aprile smacked Janice around, she didn't waste two minutes (or even one thought) before she picked up a gun and blew him away. Janice doesn't give a damn about anyone but Janice, and now Tony's indirectly responsible for making her a widow.

No HBO, so I've gotta go find a place to watch tomorrow night.
