The Paulie plot made this episode for me as I thought it was the finest job of acting of Tony Sirico\'s career. The stuff with baby Barone was good in that it created conflict with New York, and though the ending was a bit predictable, it tied in well with Paulie\'s feelings towards his mother/aunt. I like how he feels enough for her to pay the $4000 for her nursing home, but resents her enough that he won\'t foot the bill himself, hence the need to shake down Barone. A solid ending made for a quality episode that I felt was better than the first, but not as strong as ones with the coma dreams. The stuff with Bobby and the rappers was funny, but seemed like a waste of time: an excuse to give him anything to do other than play with his trains.

hopefully vito dies by choking on a cock next episode. i want him out now. not only does he have an extremely annoying character to play, but he is the worst actor *imo* on the show.

hmm.. i liked this episode.. i really did.. but i have to say that imo, it was the weakest of the season so far - which is sort of ironic, since the episode was all about weakness.. but again, i did like it.. just think it\'s been a really above-average season so far..

wonder what will come of Vito. i don\'t think he\'s dead, as i don\'t think they\'d pull the suicide angle twice in the first 5 episodes.. it\'s possible that he offed the 2 guys that saw him (after confirming with Sil that his secret hadn\'t leaked yet), though i\'m not sure he could handle that himself.. wondering if he\'ll just disappear now..

that said, this is just hilarious:









also, i like how Vito left a wedding in Great Neck near the end, drove to Jersey, left home, hung out at a gay bar, drove back home to get a gun, and got to a hotel to call Sil at 3am.. :hscratch:

i\'m sure Ginny woulda looked fantastic if she reached her goal.. it\'s really too bad she missed it! :lol:

absolutely loved the "mercy fuck" line.. hilarious..

they\'re really playing on Chris\' stupidity lately, and i can see him being brought up on a terror-related charge in the future...

finally, i have to question whether the Tony/muscles beatdown was a setup or not. doesn\'t seem like it was, because Tony was looking around the room to see who he was gonna go after, but let\'s be honest - Tony was one punch to the gut away from death, so that makes me wonder.. :chin:

my least favorite of the season so far, but still very good, and better then 99% of everything else on TV.

great recap dave. i agree with you on basically everything. the only reason why i think Vito has to be near the end is the fact that Tony\'s WIFE said he shouldnt trust him. now that hes pulling some shady behavior and tony is forcing himself to get gritty again, vito should buckle and get whacked if he doesnt do it himself. but yeah, 2 suicides in 5 episodes is a bit much.

i dont think Tony\'s beatdown was a setup. the way he looked at everyones arms was just showing his decision to finally pick a fight with the biggest bad ass in the room. realistic beatdown?? helll no, but i was cheerin for him internally.

and yes, the "mercy fuck" comment was absolutely classic.

Perception vs. reality.  I\'ve spent years as bouncer and I see steriod inflated pseudo-tough guys like that get it handed to them so often I don\'t even laugh out loud anymore when it happens.  
What did have me laughing out loud was when Carmela said something about being glad Tony had someone to protect him, and "Muscles" mentioned being Mr. Teen NJ.  I thought it was just hilarious.  What the hell does being a body builder have to do with knowing how to fight?  If he said he was NJ\'s Golden Gloves Champion or a 3rd Degree Black Belt it would have been another story.
With an answer like that I saw a beat down coming his way.

i was just viewing it unrealistic because tony cant tie his shoes without gasping for air.

My dad said he thought the fight was staged beforehand, that Tony probably paid his bodyguard to take a beating, however if you saw the camera shots of every man\'s muscle, you saw that Tony was looking for the "toughest" motherfucker in the room. He was merely re-establishing himself as the Alpha Male (Melfi mentioned it earlier in a session), yet was obviously disgusted with his actions. I loved it.... I thought it was interesting how in the preview for last night\'s episode they edited to seem like Philly was talking about Tony being the weak one.  

As for Vito...

My favorite of this season.

Solid conflict between NJ and NY; Tony back in business, yet still ailing, then very much back in business in a great ending that displayed non-gratuitous violence; humor with Vito the Leatherman (who i think will kill those two guys and not himself); and Melfi and Junior in the same episode, what a concept.

I also liked that they based this episode around Johnny Sack. He\'s not a main character with whom we\'ve traveled this road before so the material wasn\'t stagnant, but he\'s not a virtual unkown like Eugene Pontecorvo from earlier this season so the plot was highly engrossing. For me to have sympathy for Sack, which i did at the end of the wedding, is a great accomplishment that defines the show\'s brilliance: making the viewer feel bad for a character who shouldn\'t be likable, considering the horrific acts inherent in his work. I love when the show echoes season one without blatantly stealing from it.

Other things that intrigued me: Tony telling Meadow about the significance of her having grandkids, Tony\'s struggles during the metal detection, and Tony and Sack talking business at the old folks\' dinner table. I also liked how the four underlings nearly toppled over each other while rushing to scoop out the onions from Tony\'s bialy. And I felt the choice of that doo-wop song was perfect for the closing credits.

Marvelous effort from writer Terence Winter, who also penned the season opener, and director and Steve "Angel of Death Blundetto" Buscemi.

Wolfman\'s fabulous odds for Sopranos characters to die this season:

Vito - 1:3
Johnny Sack - 3:1
Paulie - 7:2
Chris - 4:1
Tony - 5:1
Junior - 6:1
Phil Leotardo - 10:1
Sil - 15:1
Meadow - 50:1
Carmella - 100:1
Melfi - 250:1

Odds on other plot twists:



AJ Kills Junior: 25:1

Chris rats out everyone to avoid a life bid: 50:1

Johnny Sack escapes, seeks vengeance on his police escort from the wedding: 250:1

Tony becomes an FBI informant: 500:1

Meadow is pregnant with Vito\'s child: 1,000,000:1
