great episode. hilarious.. definitely funniest of the season, possibly all-time. great writing.. found myself \'rooting\' for Vito The Fat Homo (as Imus calls him) quite a bit..

"He\'s a faaaaaa-aaaaag" rotfl

Maybe it\'s a mid-life thing.
Suckin\' cock? :lol:

loved the nod to The L Word - :point: "Is she a lesbian in real life?"

the scene with Fin in Satriale\'s was my favorite of the episode.. he was practically shitting himself.. loved how tony sent him off to have a nice sub and a soda! :lol:

Another strong episode as the Sopranos continues delving into territory previously uncharted by television and movies. Vito’s outing creates tremendous conflict as Tony is forced to make a crucial decision with everyone else having already made up their minds. Melfi’s scene, which discusses getting a pass for jail sex, adds an interesting aspect of hypocrisy to the situation. I can’t wait to see how this resolves.

Meadow and Finn’s scenes—with the conversations about politics, crime, and justice—were also great.

In other news, I cannot think of a subplot less interesting than Carmela’s ill-fated housing project. And I’m not exactly doing summersaults over the potential of Angie Bonpensiero\'s mafia career.

Still, I was glad to see the season debut of writers Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, who have worked together on many of the show\'s finest episodes.

Overall, the first half of this season has featured some quality material and what’s happened recently sets it up well for a home stretch that should have some classics.

I did not like it whatsoever. I feel it was one of the worst Sopranos episodes ever, weaker than this season\'s opener.

If you\'re a fan who gets into the actual mafia dealings, you were left empty-handed this week. The episode starts off with Phil badmouthing Vito and you think this episode is a natural continuation of the high drama from the last two weeks. The next thing I know I\'m looking at watches with Ben Kingsley. I don\'t get it.

It\'s nice to get Artie involved, but when he has twice as many lines as Tony, the episode can only be so good. And the show\'s large cast continues to hurt. 0 scenes or lines this week for: Paulie, A.J., Meadow, Finn, Melfi, Junior, and Vito.

I mean, what are the long-term implications of what happened this week? What does it mean in the show\'s big picture? Not much I think. And that makes it worse.

One somewhat interesting side note: show creator David Chase makes a wordless cameo on the airplane when the Italian hitmen are flying back home.

last week was definitely an \'off\' episode. while i liked the concept of the episode, i didn\'t like the context. felt very out of place to me.

this week was fantastic, and seemed to really get back to this season. finally checked back in with vito.. i thought his scenes were great.. "what i like to do is, i try to retrace my steps." i was caught off guard when he beat up johnny cakes in the parking lot, but his explanation made sense. calling home was probably a stupid move though.

AJ was MONEY this episode. fantastic from beginning to end. the blockbuster scene was great - reminded me of clerks.. AJ is facing a lot of pressure and expectations being the son of Tony Soprano, so he\'s trying hard to be something he\'s not.. from his miserable attempt at taking Junior\'s life, to picking up an $1800+ bar tab, even though he\'s barely getting by. in the end, he unintentionally ends up being just like Tony, while flat on his back in the restroom after a panic attack. i\'m guessing that this condition is inherited, though the actual cause will be masked by his cocaine use. very interested to see what happens to AJ in the weeks to come..

was interesting to see the \'new Tony\' apparently sell out for a piece of ass, and then pass up on said ass. the \'new Tony\' gets a lot of credit for passing up on Julianna Margulies, though it seemed pretty obvious when Carm was dressing him before he left. loved how Tony was miserable when he got home, throwing a fit about the smoked turkey. :thumbsup: pretty much a 180 after praising her in his therapy sessions..

i\'d have to say this was one of the best episodes of what has been a GREAT season so far.

AJ trying to kill Junior was just pathetic, dropping the knife, I mean come on!  that shit was weak sauce.  was def surprised by the sudden beating of Johnny cakes, or actually I guess Vito is the one who got his ass kicked.  How does he explain that one to all the people in the bed and breakfast?
I just dont\' like how he\'s suddenly transported into this homosexual heaven (a bunch of new england antiqueing(sp?) gay guys) all of a sudden just not very beleivable to me.  his whole story line really isn\'t working for me, cause come on like he could really get that guy.  you\'ve got the muscular firefighter/motorcyle rider/dinner guy and then vito the fat fuck, just not beleivable to me.  
Hasn\'t AJ had a panic attack before? and didn\'t tony\'s dad have them too?

[wildcoyote]

he\'s suddenly transported into this homosexual heaven

NH=homo heaven rotfl

In the third episode of the third season, "Fortunate Son," A.J. passes out during football practice, which it\'s fair to assume is a panic attack. That\'s the episode Tony references last night in regards to his father cutting off a guy\'s finger. It\'s all related: Tony remembers that childhood memory and how it applies to his own mental problems and then right at the end of the episode, BLAM!, A.J. falls out, showing how it runs in the family. And yes, Johnny Boy Soprano also had panic attacks, or "fits" as Hesh said they called them back in his day.

In any event, last night was tremendous, definitely my favorite episode of this season, and I will soon have comments aplenty.

Awesome espisode last night.  Deep, dark storylines all over the place.  Interesting how Tony instructs AJ not to tell Carmella about the knife incident right after Melfi tells Tony that him and Carmella need to be on the same page with everything regarding AJ.  Loved the $1800 bar tab followed by AJ paying social dues to a midget.  I agree with Pec in that last week felt really weird, like it was totally isolated from everything else.  It seems like they wrote out the whole season, it came up one episode short, so they decided to write an epsiode that has nothing to do with anything else and bury it in week 6.  I was psyched to see this week get down to business.

definitely my favorite episode of this season,

really? I def liked it but I dont\' know if I would go that far. to each their own.....
