[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 326712, member: 27"] I have [I]The Show In My Head[/I] that helps me smooth over such rough edges. Stuff that doesn't make sense or has too many gaping plot holes gets explained by my making up details that aren't addressed onscreen.[I] Show In My Head [/I]explains that Sonny's crime syndicate deals in counterfeit merchandise, such as tennis shoes and knock-off designer handbags. No one has said as such onscreen, but it is a convenient idea since no one has said it's NOT. Ms. Wu has an agreement with Sonny not to run drugs, but I think she deals in guns, stolen property, and of course gambling. She may have some dabblings in prostitution, as well. She'd probably be knee-deep in drug traffic if not for her deal with Sonny, and I'm sure the writers have held off on that because fans seem to really like her as she is. I dislike all the mob wars/stories, so I'm glad the loss of 3/5 of the families has not caused chaos. But it is highly unrealistic. They call it "organized crime" for a reason. Without the others running their businesses and getting everyone to work together, there ought to be lots of[B][I] dis[/I][/B]-organized crime occurring. The Sonnys and Ms. Wus of the world keep their criminal enterprises from being seen by the outside world, so with no leadership in those other areas, crime should be Topic #1 in those places. A spotlight would be shown on all the rampant, uncontrolled crime by local media now that they need not worry that the local mob boss will lean on them. Lesser crimes like property damage, etc. would be amped up into uncontrolled gangland fighting, arson, and targeted murders. But none of this seems to be happening. Show In My Head simply says that all the criminals working for the Novaks and Buschema decided to go back to college and learn how to code. ;) [/QUOTE]
