A really good episode.

I enjoyed the "soccer rage" and the ensuing news footage. The clip of Janice getting tackled by the cop was priceless.

"Revenge is like cold cuts."

I like the dynamic between the Tonys and Chrissie, although it looks like Tony B's time is running short.

The tension between NY & NJ is starting to reach a breaking point.

Sad to see only 3 episodes left, seems like we just got started.

What was the deal with the slow motion to freeze of Carmella, followed by a wipe that I've never seen on Sopranos? I'm guessing that was an attempt to drive a point home, but I missed the point. Right after she told the principal (?) she was going back with Tony.

I also like Janice's anger management session. Christopher was impressive tonight, as well. Nicely done, I thought.

I am getting tired of the horribly misleading previews for each week's episode, though. I thought somebody was getting killed or something equally exciting would happen this week, only to be let down. Finn and Meadow's engagement barely gets a mention from Tony? Please.

Yeah, I'd agree, the last scene with Tony and Janice was pretty good though I felt bad for Janice. Tony is one unhappy SOB if you ask me. He couldn't stand to see not only Janice happ(ier) and thriving with her new independence (away from rage) but also Christopher's sobriety. Taunting him to drink at dinner with him and Tony B. Now I know they were just messing around with him like when they were kids, but it was spiteful and malice.

I'm glad to hear the slow motion Carm was intentional. I thought my TIVO messed up and I missed a reponse to that guy from Carm.

I thought this was an excellent episode. Big thumbs up. Too bad it took ten episodes to get two good ones in a row.

For me the season breaks down as 2 excellent episodes, 1 good episode, and 7 mediocre-at-best episodes.

Deadwood on the other hand... All thumbs up there.

The rest of the episode was pretty boring. Except for last week, this season has not lived up to expectations.

DeDondeEs, you reminded me of something great about last night... The look on Adriana's face when Christopher mentioned Tony B. was pulling down $200K from the casino.

Foreshadowing? Oh yeah.

Yeah, the FBI is going to hear about Tony B., for sure.

I'm not convinced that Janice is going to revert to her old self immediately. I think she actually may have learned something -- a rarity for the characters on this show! She lashed out at Tony, but only because he pushed her buttons.

OTOH, now that I know she lives in my town (Verona, N.J.), I'm going to have to keep an eye out so I don't cross paths with her.

But I wanted more of the Finn And Vito Show, and didn't get it.

Is it just me, or do they seem to be setting Tony S up as a loner -- maybe they wack him in the last episode.

Lets see -- he has no true friends, just sycophants. No wife or family life. Anger management issues. Panic attacks. Problems with at least one other family. Man I'd be depressed too. Of course that is just rage turned inward.

The previews for next week have the all telling gunshots??? by the white haired cadillac driver. Who the heck is he wacking?
