Me three. While the episode was generally "boring" I thought they created a pretty decent atmosphere with some high tension (which is exceptional considering virtually nothing was happening).

I really liked that aspect. First time I liked an AJ subplot since he had to pull out of military school due to panic attacks.

I really like the fact that Tony is compelled to change (and in some cases does), but his persona alone creates obstacles (the NY family gunning for Tony). He may have been celebrating Phil's heart-attack, but he better hope he makes it, otherwise his ass is getting whacked.
Everyone's true colors come through tonight. Carmella choosing money/lifestyle over her moral pursuits (finding Ade)...AJ choosing compromise over violence (and later choosing to spend his own money rather than take something gained by un-ethical means)...Chris and Juliana enabling each other to use again...etc. I would have liked to see more about Paulie considering his arch this season (mainly the thing with his "mother").
My mom asked me what I thought of the episode afterward and I said. "interesting." I stick by that...it wasn't particularly fun to watch or exciting, but it provided some further insight into already very three-dimensional characters.
Overall, a good season. Not as good as last year, IMO (which was stellar), but good.

. It seems every other post mentions "the coming NY/NJ" war like it's a given... unless Chase has specifically hinted at this, could this be a case of collective wishfull thinking?
