    That show was kind of weird...I have a feeling Adriana is still alive...but who knows. It sucks that they arent playing the finale until June 4th...I wonder why.

    I assumed it was because of the holiday weekend...I guess they figured folks might be out of town.

    They've done it during past seasons, skipping Memorial Day, especially if its a big episode like a finale.

    They should go ahead and air it just to get it over with. This series isn't nearly as enjoyable as when it was in Seasons 2 & 3.

    I did enjoy Tony's father-to-son talk in the garage, though. That should've been done a long time ago.

    What was the point of all that Johnnycakes storyline then. They devoted so much time to that and it was pointless. All we got to see was a big fat gay guy in action. The Vito business dragged on long enough but maybe it was done this way to truly illustrate the point about what a cold bastard Phil Leotardo really is. Phil's wife too while we're at it...Edie Falco was amazing again and I was really hoping Tony was just going to knock AJ upside his head in that scene in the garage. Oh and they pretty much write Meadow out of the show which I don't get.

    To me the whole point of the Johnnycakes story and the whole point of the entire season was that no matter how hard these people try, they are still just lowlife gangster thugs. Even if they try to live such a different (from being a Mafioso) lifestyle as living with their gay biker boyfriend in small town New Hampshire, they are still deep down "addicted to the life". Johnnycakes says as much.

    I thought the abstract stuff going on with Carmela in Paris was fucking awesome. Remember the little shot of the Eiffel Tower when they were getting read to leave? What did it remind you of? That's right. The Beacon in the 2nd and 3rd episodes from Tony's coma. Interesting. And then all the comments by Carmela about how Paris is like imaginary or is it just like the life she always wanted to have? Like Tony's coma is the life he wanted to have as a salesperson.

    And the beacon is La Cosa Nostra calling them back? Or is the beacon the thing calling them away? WTF?? Anyway, it's not important what it EXACTLY symbolizes. This is the best season since season 2 or 3 in my opinion. What's great about this season is getting back to the hypocrisy of trying to live upper/middle class American family life... while being in the mob ;)
    Love is more important to me than faith.

    I was tinking he may read the story in a newspaper and may try to take revenge on someone not really knowing what he is in for.

    another great episode. i love how carmela is emerging into her own, finding some deeper stuff inside, and discovering how amazing the world can be, outside of suburban new jersey.

    also, did anyone else get the feeling that they chose her trip to paris to coincide with the da vinci code movie release, sort of tying the storyline into that whole fervor?

    sil shot her in the back as she tried to crawl away in the woods. he doesn't give me the impression of being a guy who's comfortable with loose ends or a job not completed.

    I think the whole point of the whole Vito storyline was to set up what is going to be the final and major conflict of the series between Jersey and New York. You know that Phil is gonna flip when he finds out that his guy got stabbed to death. I expect there to be a big event in the finale that will set this situation up for the finale episodes. Should be exciting!

    I agree. I see the final episodes as becoming a full scale war between New York and New Jersey.

    this sunday, they'll play the 3 most recent episodes, back to back.

    then the following sunday should leave us hanging on various storylines till next season.

    When I get sick of Phil I just watch the "Shine Box" scene from Goodfellas. :)
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.
