I thought the drama was skillfully crafted in this episode....I have to change my opinion of AJ after last nights episode. i really came around on him. growing up the only male soprano has got to be a mind fuck and though i thought he was using the "depression" thing as a crutch (like carm pointed out tony has used and was using). but tony would never "off himself" and that, to me, proves that AJ is truly ill and is not using depression as an excuse to slack off and whatnot. The fear, anger, and love that Tony experienced while rescuing AJ was one of the most powerful moments i have seen on TV in a long long time. And I kind of got a Godfather feeling at the end when Tony goes to visit him at the end and AJ comes out as the door closes behind tony. then they walk down the hall as tony puts a very caring hand on his sons shoulder.
Now what is going to happen, I have no idea, but I am excited to see this play out and with Phil being such an old school scum douche ginzo mobster, I am now rooting for Tony and his crew to lay a serious beatdown and straighten out the whole family......will that happen, probably not, but whatever does happen the Soprano immediate family is tigher than ever (i think) and it should make for 2 very interesting final episodes........
I definitely almost spit out my soda when Paulie was telling the story of him being dosed at a Jerry Vale show at the Copa......."laser beams shot out of his fucking eyes".....
I also liked Tony\'s description of his trip to whatshername Lorraine Bracco.......
I am seeing the whole terror thing coming into play somehow. I dont know if it has to do with the pile of asbestos dumped into the jersey swamps. Or how they are going to link AJ\'s all of a sudden interest in the mideaster conflict, but something is gonna go down.......
