Tony gets taxed for it.  Actually, Angie gets taxed for it.  You know Tony isn't footing that bill.

Definitely.  When I saw it the first time, it seemed kind of out of place.  After seeing the rest of the series, you can see that some important stuff gets started here.

Meadow!  Get over here with that gabba ghoul.

Never really saw any newspapers laying around her place.  I thought that was strange as well.  Kind of cool how the show left these little things kind of open.  It's like they knew people like us were going grab onto and analyze them.

True, but she just really doesn't seem to be up on things.  Her whole life was her past, which might suggest she really had no concept of the present.  I get the other side of this though.

PEEPS

Thing is, she doesn't have a phone, doesn't seem to go out much or have any friends who visit.  She seemed like a shut in whose only connection with the outside was visiting a grave of someone she obviously cared for (though not enough to quit smoking around him when he had emphysema).

True, but like Livia's take on Johnny after he died - "he was a saint" - Juniors take may have changed as well.  Kind of a Fredo vs. Michael deal may have been going on there.

That whole Happy Birthday bit was about as uncomfortable as it gets on TV.  You can tell Tony has basically had it with this woman, but he still spins a nice story at the end.  Just kind of another instance where the main thing going on throughout the entire series is gossip.

Are you sure?  He walks out with the diamonds, then we hear shouting and gunfire.  

He's Samoan, I think.  But in spite of his race, he's very valuable to me.

Didn't Kurt Russell say to Lee Van Cleef, "Call me Snake", in Escape From New York?

Jesus, Tom.  Dammit.  Jesus.

I notice the review is already up.  I'm going avoid it.  Spoilers suck.

Winger!

At this point, it's part of his look.  Plus, I get the feeling he'd rather be on the other side of the camera anyway.

Yeah, I dunno.  Carmela says something along the lines of "You don't understand.  I want you to write that letter."  It was a subtle type of pressure.  What was interesting was the excuse for not being able to write one.  A lawyer can only recommend one kid per school?

I'm in.  As long as there is a Gwar video somewhere.

Yep.  Been a long road from "Mink LaRooey" to Tony B.

Christopher actually tries to use her fate as leverage.  She's more of an excuse than a reason.
