One thing I would of liked to see in the Sopranos which was never shown is how the major characters would of dealt with being sent to jail for long periods, life for instance. Obviously the thinking from Chase was that he probably wanted to keep the main characters in the plot etc so they never got caught. Only Pauly did that short stint in the jail.
We saw a few FBI attempts to nail some of the characters, the listening device, the female undercover and numerous rats yet never did the main core of characters from NJ get caught and convicted. In this case it wasn't all that realistic, Maltisanti was a real sloppy criminal leaving evidence all over the place, would of loved to see him facing life, I think he would of flipped which would of been a great storyline!
Opinions on this?
The part with Paulie in prison was priceless the part with the phone must've been based on Galante. I agree with you it would've been good to see chris jailed. I think the main reason none of them were was the fact thre was only a small amount of core characters Chris,Tony,Paulie and Sil. I mean the last couple of episodes with Chris dead and Sil in a coma it didn't feel the same whn Benny and Carlo where getting more involved . I totally agree it wasn't realistic though it was one of the many unrealistic parts of the show.
