amazing episode.

I'm not reading this thread, since I'm watching right now. So this may have been covered already. Nonetheless:

EDIE FUCKING FALCO

this season is going to be relentless. jesus. I was sure tony would be ok until i saw this episode, now im thinking "would they?"

― JD from CDepot, Monday, 20 March 2006 05:50 (eighteen years ago) link

wtf that ending!?

― chaki (chaki), Monday, 20 March 2006 05:55 (eighteen years ago) link

great episode except for AJ .... damn, that dude can't act

― Renard (Renard), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:15 (eighteen years ago) link

you crazy

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:17 (eighteen years ago) link

actually, AJ seems exactly like a lot of teenagers I know--bad actors, all.

the best rumor I heard is that the first episode this season (last week, for those of you playing at home) is actually the second to the last episode of the series and that Tony will die on the last episode. In the intermittent 18 episodes (eps 2-19), we will fill in the blanks of the past two years and finish the series off with his death in #20.

Needless to say, last night's episode makes that theory a little shaky BUT the premise of not necessarily going a long ways forward in the timeline seems very possible.

― don weiner (don weiner), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

we already talked about that story. it is a bad theory.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean, we already talked about that theory, and it is a bad theory.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

I do however think the theory posted above is bogus. For an extensive recap of what happened all year, shouldn't this episode have been *very* surprising to us viewers? I mean, shouldn't major events have taken place we can't grasp yet? It didn't. Surely, things happened: Junior's dementia is in an even worse (final?) phase, Chris is a captain now, Janice & Bobby's baby, but all of that isn't really *that* surprising is it?

Anyway, great episode, and I'm very anxious about next week!

yeah, exactly. i think i already know how janice and bobby got that baby.

My theory is that those boys who are at the bing will be mistaken for suicide commandos but while they are getting whacked by Paulie and Chrissie the real commandos will be executing their mission.

AND THE WHOLE SEASON IS A BUILD-UP TO 9/11... HINT: YOU NEVER HEAR WHAT YEAR IT IS.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

r u srsly?

― Jimmy Mod: GRILL ENSPEKTOR (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:29 (eighteen years ago) link

surely 9/11 has already been mentioned on the sopranos

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:59 (eighteen years ago) link

It has

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Monday, 20 March 2006 22:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Season 4 opened with a few references to 9/11 and how everything is different, etc. And season 5 had Carmine Jr. say that his family would be greeted with flowers in the Bronx and Brooklyn...

IT'S SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE BETWEEN SEASONS 3 AND FOUR.

don't be too quick to dismiss s1ocki's spec. i can say no more.

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 20 March 2006 23:03 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't understand, they made 9/11 references in the last episode!

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 20 March 2006 23:30 (eighteen years ago) link

AND WHAT OF KEVIN FINNERTY?

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 20 March 2006 23:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow... amazing episode again. It'll be really interesting to watch how they play out this brilliant parallel line of Kevin Finnerty. I think Tony will stay in his coma for a couple of episodes though, they'll deliver this one nice and slowww. The capo's will be fighting over who's in charge, which won't do business any good. It wouldn't suprise me if there's actually some truth to AJ's threat to shoot 'mummyface'. He's close to losing it, one way or another.

(Googling Kevin Finnerty shows up an attorney and a *funeral director* by the same name, OMGWTF I figured out teh world!)

AJ is no Ziggy Sobatka.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 05:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought the AJ guy did really well at acting in this ep. I liked how when Meadow walked in, he went back into bored disaffected mode. I hope he's up to it, because I think he's going to play a huge part in this season. I'm almost kind of sorry to see Junior like this. He has been one of my favorite characters throughout the series.

― josh in sf (stfu kthx), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 06:05 (eighteen years ago) link

AJ's acting > Meadow's acting

i'm excited with where AJ's role is going. can't wait for the ep when he sheds his locks.

so i'm watching this off a bittorrented rip and my copy ends with a real sudden break-- tony/finnerty's sitting on hotel bed, looking out window, nice music playing then CUT instantly to credits-- is that how it really ends, or do i have a bad rip that cuts off early?

― W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 06:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Carm to AJ: "Go have breakfast." what a great line

― W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 06:58 (eighteen years ago) link

there are many reasons why this doesn't seem likely, and one more small one is that the sopranos has always taken place in extremely contemporary america, as up-to-date as possible, considering. witness the shots of bush in ep 1 in bullshit katrina photo-op (as wsb drones on about "treacherous ba"). witness the MIL OPS SPEC 2006 placard in the lobby early in this ep. chase would never devote a whole season to events that transpired two years ago.

― W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 07:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah it ends that way. They've always been good at dream sequences, but this coma stuff is top notch. For some reason it hits me in a really eerie way... it's so mundane. There has to be a point to it. Notice that he was a guy who sold patio furniture? A motif that pops up fairly often with him. I have to think he's going to come out of this coma and have some sort of revelation that deeply changes his character. Maybe in his first session with Melfie after he awakens. Bedside?

And seriously... Edie Falco is an amazing actor.

― josh in sf (stfu kthx), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 07:58 (eighteen years ago) link

ok, thanks.
i guess the "next week on the sopranos" trailers are done for. another contribution to the anything-can-happen vibe so far this season.

religion was also a motif this ep: cross on TV screen in bar, the monks ("lose your arrogance" was it?), carmela's recanting her damnation.

― W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 08:37 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm hoping that tony wakes up as finnerty! hijinks ensue!

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 12:18 (eighteen years ago) link

The William S. Burroughs prologue to Ep. 1 is starting to make more sense as you match it up to the images being shown against it. Watch it again.

― Secret Handshake, Tuesday, 21 March 2006 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Notice that he was a guy who sold patio furniture?

he wasn't!! he dealt in precision optics

(unless patio furniture is much more advanced these days and involves precision optics)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 14:30 (eighteen years ago) link

he gave up one for the other.

maybe this is post-9/11 and there will be another attack

it has always been about edie falco

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 15:16 (eighteen years ago) link

if aj were jewish or irish (and a hell of a lot smarter), he totally could have gone to my high school. to the extent that he's good, i think it's because iler sort of is that kid. you can see the place he got arrested (a corner home to a restaurant that Gotti used to frequent) outside my parents' apartment window.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 15:19 (eighteen years ago) link

he gave up one for the other.

why did he need security clearance for a patio furniture convention? why were military officers speaking at it?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 15:52 (eighteen years ago) link

In the scene where they are all sitting at the table, the woman says he went from selling patio furniture to precision optics.

― josh in sf (stfu kthx), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 16:45 (eighteen years ago) link

oh haha right.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 16:47 (eighteen years ago) link

"i guess the "next week on the sopranos" trailers are done for."

no they're not, they showed one after this last episode. next week seems to be about the capos fighting for control of the family in tony's absence, and a possible downturn in tony's condition. (I really think this whole "going into the past" storyline that is floating around the web is complete bullshit, but I guess I could be wrong.)

and yes, edie falco is amazing. and AJ is good so far this season, he's really grown up.

― JD from CDepot, Tuesday, 21 March 2006 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link

damn my illegally downloaded rip and its shoddiness!! this time i really must write a letter

― W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 18:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey... was the voice of Tony's wife in his coma Annabella Sciorra, or was that my imagination?

― josh in sf (stfu kthx), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 18:42 (eighteen years ago) link

we were trying to figure that out

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 18:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought it might have been Charmagne, but it's anyone's guess.

― Joe Polniaczek (kenan), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 18:59 (eighteen years ago) link

That actually makes a lot more sense somehow, considering the rest of it seems like a fantasy of what it would life could have been like.

― josh in sf (stfu kthx), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 19:36 (eighteen years ago) link

amateur psych: precision optics --> helping you "see things clearly"

my guess of who was on the phone was Charmagne also (since Tony had had a fling with her way back) but it could have been the BMW dealer

― Renard (Renard), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 20:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I think the wife-voice changed on the phone. I also think that maybe Melfi's voice was dubbed in for some lines by the dream-girl that Finnartony made out with.
