OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 Best Sopranos episode in a long time for me. I loved when Tony and Christopher were arguing and Tony had to bring up that Christopher threw food at that other guy. Any little bit of disrespect has to always be addressed. I love that about mafiosos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 I loved Tony saying "where's the kid's self control?" when he heard about Christopher's drunken exploits. Like he's one to talk about self control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mole 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 This is the first episode I saw all season. I don't have HBO at school and I am home now so I can actually watch it. I don't think this was a good episode to watch first because I am really bored with it. I am not too interested in Carmela's love shit and how dumb AJ is. Has the season been like this the whole time? EDIT: Tony B. just kicked some major ass so that was defiently needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Not really. In my opinion, tonight's episode has been the only dull one. Last week's episode was really good. The only good part about tonight's episode was Buscemi kicking some ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Terrible episode tonight. -Don't give a fuck about Carmela or her new relationships -Don't care about AJ or his learning disability -Not a big fan of the Buscemi character. I just can't buy him as a tough-guy mobster..... -Not enough Tony/Chris/Silvio/Paulie. Almost no mob action tonight. -Not enough Adrianna OR Meadow either. Last week had one of the best episodes in a long time. This week was absolutely horrible. It's not a stretch to say that it may have been just as bad as the Columbus Day episode disaster from last season. What the hell happened this week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Why is Jamie Lynn still getting a paycheck? I mean almost all of her screen time could have been done with a voice machine in an "over the phone" scene. I still don't see too much about AJ to hit the crisis button yet. I mean the cursing at the parents would get me a smack across the face, but the curfew issues and low grades are not so uncommon. I know guys who did a lot worse in highschool who were able to get their act together upon graduation and stepping into the "real world" No more "As Carmela's World Turns" I mean seriously, am I supposed to feel bad for her in the least. She was fucking AJ's principal, like that would do anything to help the situation with AJ. Oh yeah, MORE MOB STUFF PLEASE. Tonight's episode was the first stinker of the season IMO.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Seriously, more people need to be shot and women need beating. It's the only thing I find entertaining about this show. EDIT: I suppose I should add something truly "serious." My one complaint about last night's show is that Tony B.'s character change was too rushed. Nothing this season has indicated/implied that he was prone to snap, but, when he does, we're supposed to believe it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 ^^^ Agree. They maybe should have done a few episodes with the massage parlor open for business, and show Kim getting more & more involved ("you should do this", "I'm a businessman, listen to me", "did you learn that in jail?", stuff like that that would get under Tony B.'s skin), finally causing Tony B. to snap.

Can someone explain in some more detail? I think what happened was that Kim approached Tony B. like it would be a partnership as in 50/50 profit sharing and 50/50 work. Yet Tony B. found that he was doing all the work to set the place up, get it going etc......and Kim would just check over him once in awhile with an attitude like he was superior. Like how he came in while Tony B. was painting and said, "blah blah PARTNER blah blah" and that enraged Tony B. They kind of hurried the storyline, but you could still get the jist of it pretty good. In otherwords, Tony B. felt like he was being scammed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just found him again, he was in a couple episodes of Oz early in season 2....and looking at his IMDB profile, he was one of the police officers in Panic Room too, never noticed that.

In otherwords, Tony B. felt like he was being scammed. Thats what I got out of it, Tony B is doing all the work and Kim was reaping the rewards for no work Anyway, that is the problem though with the show (its small, and generally not much of the show) where its such a small season and its all compacted into the same time frame that the show airs (11 weeks) that it really doesn't allow for too much new threads being picked up in the middle of the season the way the massage parlor was because in a normal show schedule (20+ episodes over the course of 10 months) you could see the storyline at a normal rate: Stuff you saw in the episode, then it continues througout the next few weeks as the business opens for a few months and the only time Kim shows up is to pick up his paycheck and ask for favors, ect, basically being the a silent partner despite going 50/50 and the payoff happing late in the year But with the show so short and compact storylines tend to get rushed Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully, next week's episode will be better. If not, this season could slowly head into Season Four territory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2004 Anybody else think that Tony spent a crazy amount of time with his father's mistress? That was insane. My take on that: Tony regarded her as the mother he never had. She treated his dad like a king, and gave him (Tony's dad) the love and attention he didn't get at home. As a result, Tony was drawn to her. But when he found out she still smoked even after his dad had emphysema, the image was shattered, and he no longer saw her in the same light.

Am I the only viewer that enjoys the background and lives of these guys beyond them breaking someone's leg for not paying money back on time? No I do too. It isn't just the lack of gangster stuff that has turned me off the past 2 episodes. It is just that the mistress and Carmela sex life storylines have bored me too tears. I LOVED Steve Buscemi's storyline, and that had little to do with beating anyone up until the very end of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
