For those annoyed, knowing Weiner just because they are "locked into a contract" does not necessarily insure screen time or even their own survival on the show, but rather that the option is there.

I thought the tension in the Brock/Walt meeting came from 1.) wondering if Brock might recognize Walt and 2.) wondering if this should even be a concern because we have no idea how Brock was poisoned other than it originating with Walt. The second lingering look between the two on the couch really hammered both of…

Dr. Melfi never outlived her usefulness. The entire point of her character is integral to one of Chase's major tennets of the show; that is to show that Tony does not change, EVER. Even when we think he is changing and making progress and "getting better" - it doesn't happen. It may happen for a few episodes ("every…

Even though the Vito storyline has flaws, Vito's death was the lynchpin for everything that comes after it in this series. Vito was Tony's biggest earner, and T never EVER gets over that. It was never about Phil killing one of his guys, even though Tony may have justified his ultimate actions that way - but the loss…

I recently re-watched Luxury Lounge and appreciated it so much more than its first airing. In some ways it really highlighted the themes that would play out for the rest of the series. Chase and Matthew Weiner continued to explore these in Season 6 and beyond, especially Weiner in the past season of in Mad Men.

In some alternate universe/spin-off I hope that Chris and the Dog hit the road and fight (organized) crime together, avenging the death of Adriana, all the while tooting H and eating meatball sandwiches….

A Weiner Classic. I love Vito's inner-monologue at the construction site and his devastation when he checks his watch. Been there. Man, if only he could have taken up swimming at the Y and written an anti-smoking ad causing The Sopranos to lose that Lucky Strike account.
