you honestly liked that episode last night?

it was lazy as hell meaningless and just plain zzzzzzz

MDS · March 20, 2006, 12:02:21 PM

it wasnt amazing, but it wasnt boring or just plain bad. i like the dream sequences, you get a deeper understanding of the tony soprano character. not to mention, a bunch of different thoeries as to where he mentally is can come out of this.

ice grillin you · March 20, 2006, 12:07:11 PM

so what deeper understanding did you learn last night

MDS · March 20, 2006, 12:10:01 PM

what he would have been like if he didnt go into the mob world, and he handles situations without the tough guy imagine. the lonliness he has inside (in the hotel room at the end), how people truly feel about him (mobsters=business, family=actually personally care).

deep...deep...deeper than atlantis...deeper than the sea floor traveled by the mantis

interesting.

its funny that there are two types of fans to the show: the kind that need to see violence, sex and hardcore mob stuff (igy) and the others who like that stuff, but at the same are interested in the and the thoughtful, philosophical aspects of Tony's life (it appears everyone else on the board who watches the show).

I think it'll be funny if "Van Helsing" whacks Uncle Jun.

Maybe. If I remember right, Tony always initiates the calls. Or doesn't as in that one scene, where he starts to place the call, and then changes his mind. Maybe his reluctance to go back. Maybe he now has the "retirement" idea planted in his head?

Thats what I am thinking as far as him not placing that call. Its like he wanted to come out of it but then decided not to (or his body wasn't ready yet).

Me and my girl were talking about it this morning and she had a good point...

She thinks that the dream sequence is Tony in purgatory. He couldn't get into the conference (heaven) because he wasn't Tony Soprano. Well, he was. But he couldn't prove it. And he couldn't check into the hotels (hell) because he wasn't Tony. If he would've been able to gain access to either spot then he dies. But since he's still Finnerty he's still drifting along in a coma.

He is in Costa Mesa and remember the TV had fire on it and said "Costa Mesa wildfires"? Thats why she thought it might've been hell.

yeah, and don't forget, that on the other TV there was a commercial about God and the such, again, he's stuck in between.

i really enjoyed last night's episode, but i'm really sick of hearing people bitch about it. you wanna see hits, go watch Goodfellas, the action in this season will come, they are setting it up.

AJ going after Uncle Junior = the passion in his life that Carmela said he was missing. he's on the path to being like his dad.

I'm just glad it wasn't the way people were talking about - how last weeks was the end and they would start from the beginning last night.

I can't wait until next week. I think Vito catches a bullet. He's been bitching about that Sports Book for two weeks now and had the balls to bring it up in the hospital yesterday. I think Sylvio whacks him. Or maybe Paulie Walnuts goes apeshtein on him.

They are setting up chaos.

Christopher is a loose cannon. Him and Phil don't like each other.

Both bosses are out of the picture.

Remember Christopher saying he hated Phil when they set up the meeting with Tony to talk about paying for the guy whose ass Phils crew whipped? Chris said " I hate that fargin prick".

also, Tony said, "He has 200 hundred soldiers under him." Christopher just said, "I ain't scared of them."

I don't think Vito catches it yet, but you can see from the previews that he goes to Phil to help him gain power of the family, that will lead to the war.
