I thought this episode was pretty weak. They've already done a "guy who is a friend of mobster gambles too much and expects mobster friend to let it slide, only to find out he's in deep doo-doo" Way back in Season Two they did an episode on this, and maybe even some since.

In short, nothing happened. I like the series but I was pretty f'ing bored with it tonight.

If that was all that you got from this episode, you should probably just put Goodfellas in the ol' DVD player, set it to repeat and not watch the Sopranos anymore.

They're setting up for more things to happen in the season.

1) Just because they are setting up more things to happen later in the season does not mean they cannot do it in a way that doesn't put me to sleep.

2) Based on what I saw tonight, I have no amount of interest in *anything* that these set-ups will lead to.

I liked the episode and I love this season. I hated last season.
I thought this show was a lot of fun, I laughed out loud at Junior a bunch of times. This show was a change of pace and didn't seem to develop any plot besides Tony's growing problems with the other family.

Oh and that racetrack is by me out on Long Island, not New Jersey.

If Tony chasing down Philly and Chris beating the crap out of that guy from Wings puts you to sleep, then again, I suggest you stop watching.

I liked it, it should start to get pretty interesting in the next few shows I think. You can tell there are things developing.

Thats what I hope for, but then the show spins its wheels in the mud the next episode. I could do without all the old ladies, the wife and the bs that comes with it. Bring back guys like Pu**y. If I want to watch a soap opera I would stay home during the day and have my fill.

Sad to see Polly Bergen looking so old. She really was beautiful and maybe the JFK reference wasnt so off base.

Livia as a young woman was well done!! Could have really believed it was her.

Tony sure goes through a lot of cars, doesnt he?? Didnt wreck his this time though. His insurance must be really high!

A slow episode but setting a lot upIMHO.

Hey look! It's Chappelle at the funeral! Guess he recovered from that bullet pretty fast. :)
