This is at once interesting and negligible.
As for someone else coming to clean up the mess, i suppose that is possible. but why not show that phone call or the meeting?
The exact same thing could be said for not showing Christopher meeting with the Feds.
didn't that JT murder story line seem to be left hanging to you?
In retrospect, yeah, I suppose it was. I've never really thought about until reading this thread. I'd actually put it down to poetic license, though, than anything else. It's a continuity fault on the part of Chase and co., not some genius subtlety.
The Sopranos is rich in subtext, but its symbolism is more obvious and immediate (ie. Bobby's model train entering a tunnel just after Vito and Johnny Cakes get heated up, which was hilarious).
I'm not one to treat the narrative as a puzzle.
