    It was brilliant and they definitely know how to keep you coming back for more! Can't wait now for Sunday, obviously Tony isn't go to die from this, but what's gonna happen with poor Uncle Junior now? He's off to LaLaLand for sure. Janice is still a bitch on wheels, she should have been the one taking the bullet!

    I'm also digging AJ's new slacker look!

    Uncle Junior is faking the dementia (just a guess) in order to be able to protect himself when his trial comes up. He wants to be unfit to stand trial, and/or use the dementia as a cop out.

    I read in USA Today that an acual Mob-Boss faked Dementia for several years.

    anyone else think this episode is actually the "final" episode of this season, and the next 11 episodes will all lead up to when uncle jr. actually shoots tony???

    think about it...... no previews for next week's episode....

    That's actually not a bad theory...interesting. TV shows have done goofier stuff

    It actually could work thinking back to the episode we saw. Very good thought.

    I think the no previews thing is to ensure that we don't know what happened to Tony. If they showed previews we would know if he lived or died.

    I'm going out on a limb and saying that Tony is DEAD! This is HBO remember. Anyone can get whacked - just ask Stringer Bell.

    Interesting idea but not much else happened on the episode that a whole season would lead up to. The faking dementia sounds more plausible since it would be based on reality.

    There were no previews???

    I've been going crazy thinking that somehow I missed the previews for next week!

    well, we didn't see anything last season about janice being pregnant... there are a few story lines that could be developed that would lead up to the shooting. interesting....

    i was thinking also about the other sister, who i keep forgetting about. the one who was at junior's and called tony out on his boat to come and stay with the old man. where does she live, and i assume she's not in the "business" in any way? how does that work? i mean, her dad was a mob boss. is it that women aren't tied to the family business the way men are?

    Her name is Barbara and she's the "good" sister. She isn't in a lot of episodes, usually funerals, etc

    The other reason I don't think this is the final episode is because everyone was alive. How could we go through a whole season without any major player getting whacked until Tony in a cliffhanger?

    I remember at the beginning of last season, Janice and Bobby had gotten married and that was never shown either, so not surprised that she's got a baby now and it was never mentioned before.

    It could happen. In the season previews, Tony is holding a very young baby. Now janice's baby is 15 months old. Also, they said Ade's been gone for more than a year, but Janice's baby is 15 months. Throw in 9 months for pregnancy, and it's been at least 2 years......

    DOH! :eek: you've got some good points there. wow, that would be something, huh?

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    An interesting theory, but I don't think it could be sustained for an entire season. Maybe a few episodes, but the show often covers long spans in one show. It is not that unusual.

    I don't think Tony will die immediately, but the wound could have a lot of lingering effects. Everyone seems to be positioning themselves for Tony's job, as usual.

    Of course, Mr. Orange got the same kind of gut shot in Reservoir Dogs.

    As Mr. White said...other than the kneecap, the belly is one of the worst places to get shot (in term of pain).

    This has absolutely nothing to do with this show...just had to point it out.
