I mean, Finn was Tony's daughter's boyfriend and a civilian. They weren't going to hurt him. There's another great scene where Finn is working a construction job that Tony got him, and Paulie rolls up and tells him to wash his tires, not knowing who he is. As soon as the other mobsters mention that Finn is dating Tony's daughter, Meadow, Paulie immediately gives Finn some cash and reassigns the job to a low-level mobster. Finn was not family. Remember Jackie Jr.? He was also dating Meadow and he was more "family" than Finn ever was. But he royally f***ed everything up. Whatever he got, he had it coming. Tony put a hit on him. Ironically, it was fat Vito who plugged him. LOL! Apples to oranges. Jackie Jr. wasn't a civilian. Sure, if Finn did what Jackie Jr. did, then yeah. But Finn was terrified of the mafia. Also, just because you're family, that doesn't mean you can't be whacked. There are multiple examples on The Sopranos where a family member got clipped.

But Finn was terrified of the mafia. Nah. If they really wanted to cover something up, civilian or not, they're gonna silence everyone connected with it. The Sopranos show was populated by a bunch of psychos.

"Stupidity would be a learning disorder, wouldn't it?" -- Tony Soprano Lol, Jackie was probably the dumbest person on the whole show. I love when he told Meadow that he had to get his mom's car inspected at night when he was cheating on her. I can't imagine anyone buying that, let alone Meadow, who was going to Columbia.

I mean, sure, there are some cases of them killing civilians. But in that particular case, no one in that scene would touch Finn without Tony signing off. Actually, the one person he really had to worry about was Vito, since he had a strong motive to keep Finn silent about what he had seen.

Did Meadow really get into Columbia on merit? I'm thinking Tony paid someone off at the Columbia Admissions office. I like to think I saw it in an episode where Tony (or somebody) casually mentioned it. I don't think there was any fake rowing pictures though. It was just a simple bribe.

If memory serves, she was a legitimately good student who also got into UC Berkeley without Tony's help (Tony and Carmela didn't want her going to school on the other side of the country--they were hoping she'd stay on the East Coast).

Netflix is making available, to those who are interested in nature and animal documentaries, their show "Our Planet", which is now freely watchable on their youtube channel. Its made by the same team that did the award-winning "Planet Earth" for the Discovery Channel and BBC. Narrated by the great David Attenborough, there are some cool shots. I personally recommed it:

azvbI don't know if it's too late but I would watch Breaking Bad first and then Better Call Saul. Sure, you could watch Better Call Saul first but I don't think it'll be as satisfying. When you're watching Better Call Saul, a character (let's call him "Hector") appears and does stuff, and you're thinking, "That's just another character and he's doing stuff. These are just facts for me to remember so I can follow the story." However, if you watched Breaking Bad first, and then encounter "Hector" in Better Call Saul, your reaction would be, "Ooooooh, it's HIM. OMG!" and then you're not just following the story but you're also remembering an entire future history of Hector from Breaking Bad and you're now thinking, "Wow, this should be interesting to see how he gets from here [in Better Call Saul] to there [in Breaking Bad]." You get so excited you want to tell your husband about Hector. He, of course, doesn't give a rip. I did the same with my wife and she had to stop me because she said all my yammering was sucking the joy out of watching Better Call Saul. Her loss. It's like waking up next to your husband and remembering a whole backstory with him vs. suffering amnesia and then waking up next to this stranger (who says he's your husband) that you don't remember seeing in your entire life. It's also like watching a home movie of your kids. As soon as you see them, all these memories come flooding back. That home movie will be cherished. However, if some stranger saw that same home movie on TV, he'd go, "What's this crap?" and then switch channels. It doesn't mean anything to him because there's no history with the contents of that home movie. While watching Better Call Saul, some other questions and feelings will come to you because you know the future history from Breaking Bad. (I won't reveal what they are.) But as I watch Better Call Saul, I'm always wondering about how things will get from here to there, or the fate of certain characters you see in Better Call Saul but not in Breaking Bad, among other things, and you wonder why. Often, you're filled with dread or dismal foreboding or just plain sadness. Sometimes, happy foreboding. You'll feel none of these things if you watch Better Call Saul first. In other words, Better Call Saul is much more rewarding if you watch Breaking Bad first.

I think that might be just a little bit different from watching a TV show.

Survivor 31: Second Chance 20 contestants who already had a shot on the show but was voted out is given a second chance. Contestants were voted in by fans.
This completely blows your mind. Every tribal council mid-game has been quite unpredictable.
