    I hope something big happens...so far the episodes have been lackluster.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    It looks like Paulie and Chris have some serious tensaion developing between the two of them, from what I read on HBO.com. One of them will not live past next weeks episode.

    Great episode tonight as always. I have to go back and watch this one again. Had 2 phone calls during the show. That look on Paulie's face while driving to Chrissy's house was priceless. hehe :D

    Yeah that look on Paulie's face said it all. Watching him doing doughnuts on Chris' lawn in broad daylight while the neighbors were standing outside watching was classic. I actually thought Chris was going to wind up killing Paulie for that comment he made about Chris' daughter.

    Yea I thought Chris was gonna gun Paulie down in front of everybody. Instead he shoots his AA/movie friend at his apartment. heh


    I think AJ is going down a interesting road.


    Only 4 more left. :(

    Wasn't Tony's talk to AJ about getting over it just great? hehe

    i read an interview with david chase online about a year ago and the russian in the woods came up and chase said (i'm paraphrasing, here) "that storyline is dead. the russian in the woods will not be back." i think paulie actually hit him when he shot at him and the guy ended up dying in the woods. and i really don't think furio will be back, either. he's back in italy, where he belongs.

    last nights episode was pretty great. the whole chrissy/paulie storyline was fantastic, some of the best acting i've seen from michael imperioli. aj......i really wish they had gone with the suicide storyline instead of what they did go with. completely out of character, it just doesn't fit. i'm sure he's going to get into some kind of trouble if he keeps it up, though.

    Great epsiode. My only beef is that the part with Chrissy shooting the writer came out of nowhere. Otherwise it was great.

    Interesting thing I noticed: in the scene before Tony goes to see Dr. Melfi, there is a shot of a statue in her waiting room and then they show Tony. This was the same shot that opened the series. I really thought that was going to be the last therapy session when i saw that but then Tony said he would be there forever because of AJ.

    I agree. I didn't like how they just threw that in there (Chris shooting J.T.), but maybe that will come back to bite him in the end. I didn't notice the statue part when I saw it but now that you mentioned it I remember.

    Great episode....

    Tony's rant w/ Dr. Melfi, fabulous.

    Boy, that Chrissy is having some thoughts about spilling his guts. Probably the alcohol talking.

    Does anyone get the feeling that they are setting up motives to keep us guessing who will whack Tony? The AJ angle may be his "moment of clarity" of what his purpose is in life, which is to follow in his dad's footsteps.

    Will it end with Tony being whacked? Or will the series end just like any season ends, with no real answers being given, with a life goes on attitude, no closure whatsoever. That is part of the greatness of the show. It really leaves many plot lines open, just like it happens in life.

    I thought the therapy session was great with Tony crying and really feeling the guilt about his son. It is funny that he has guilt about him passing on the depression gene but no guilt about encouraging him to go to a party with strippers!

    pjfanatic, a lot of people share your view that what makes the show great is that they leave many plot lines open. There is a blog called the bastard machine written by Tim Goodman, a writer for the SF Chronicle where he breaks down each episode. Here's the link: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/category?blogid=24&cat=530 He has argued that it is great to have the plot lines open This works to a degree with me. Something like the Russian never coming back makes sense because the audience can draw their own conclusions and they are spoon-feeding us. On the other hand, if they leave too many things open and they are big things then I consider it just lazy storytelling, because anyone can just start a story and leave it open ended. I posted something similar on the Lost thread a few days ago. Something that I would be pissed if it is left open-ended would be the plot about the FBI closing in on Tony, which seems to have been festering for a few years.

    What I think made the show great was the fantastic characterization and the high stakes of being involved in the world they are in.

    last night was a great episode and im glad they had a strong episode.
    what do u think? will chris rat them out?
    i thought chris was dead last night, but then again, there have been many other times throughout the show that i got that same feeling.

    It looks to me like they have members of the crew killing people very sloppy. possibly leaving behind evidence. maybe one of these guys will get picked up and sing like a canary. And after the AJ stuff last night, I think the show will end 20 years in the future with AJ as boss
