Well, then call me dumb, too, 'cause I'm not sure he had terrorist connections, either. All we know is that his brother (or some relative, don't recall exactly) claims to be running a prep school. People in this thread have assumed that means it's some terrorist training camp and/or fanatic...

I'm surprised Adrianna didn't realise she was getting murdered as soon as they were driving near the woods. Doesn't she ever watch mob movies?

Probably. But I think besides his ego, one of the reasons Johny Sack is so hard on Tony S is because Tony B's first victim was a relative, so he's taking it personally. Every war has the potential to get extremely personal, but the groundwork is even more solid here. Tony S will look at it as...

After the awesome and wonderfully entertaining mindf*** of last week's ep, this straight narrative was a bit of a let down. This one kills this one, the other is really pissed off- ooh, there's a war-a-brewin'!- blah blah. Godfather and Goodfellas did it better, anyway. What made this ep...

And to me, right now, even better than a get-to-the-point, straight Sopranos narrative. I must be the only one who doesn't care that much about the "war." I've sat through plenty of mafia wars on TV. Fun stuff, yeah, but if they were doing that I wouldn't be as interested. I love the fact...

Well, if want to use the Toblerone as a symbolic device for power, than note that Tony S just gave it away to Christopher.

What's up with Artie Buco having such a prominent role in the dream? Guilt over his lust for her wife? Fear that another close friend will eventually go down due to his lifestyle? Re: the move references, it all goes with Carm telling him "this is your life," when he was saying that TV is...

I would give the Lynch the nod for that one.

I tune in to my favorite shows to watch characters I love, and this episode provided that in a refreshing and riveting light. Furthermore, I know I'll be thinking about it for days and it gave us some great imagery (Tony and Carm watching themselves on TV, the Gary Cooper shot on another screen...

I think Tony was genuinely happy for Janice's progress. But then the jealousy and the spite got the better of him.

I didn't say Janice is this "loveable character," but for whatever reasons, she is trying the whole wife and mother thing and seems to be doing real well except for the anger which is genuine. Beating up the soccer mom was wrong, of course, but I think it came from a genuine sense of protection...

I was surprised at how Janice totally embraced the anger management thing and seems to be genuinely interested in being a mother and wife. I also give major credit to Bobby- he had to "control" a woman that was so aggressive and dominating and he did it perfectly by offering a solution as well...

Vito called Finn his "arch enemy." Half-jokingly, but not really. And he practically threatened the kid into going to the game. This is a man who intends harm.

Not after that "discussion." The guy tells her that a dangerous mafioso is bent on either screwing or killing him, and she blows it off as some psychological crap about her. She doesn't believe him (maybe I'm naive, but if you really love someone, wouldn't you assume that person is telling the...

I'm glad they revisited this element of Italian-American culture, which the show used to deal with more.

I think Tony B's interest in Meadow was purely a jealousy thing. He's impressed with how intelligent and nice she is and imagines that he should have had such a great daughter (and house, and money, and power). This all makes me wonder if it's at all possible for a someone in this life to...

Lack of commercials is definitely a big part of it. Nothing takes you out of a story harder than sitting through a Sprite jingle. Watching an HBO show is like a mini-movie. I definitely agree about there being too much filler on network shows. It's just really hard to have more than 20 high...

It's a show about people, not the mafia. The mafia is a setting. I can't believe people got this far into the show and still haven't figured this out.

It was the nail in the coffin that destroyed Tony's glorification of her image. His hatred of his mother made him eager to hold her up as a classy, charming wonderful woman, someone his father would see as the polar opposite of his mom. He realised that this, too, was an illusion, but in the end...

Yes, and her credits will always be the same: "Hot Asian Girl" But hey, if ya gotta be typecast...
