this episode reminds me of Sopranos meets Brett Easton Ellis.  And while I certainly think there's potential in doing something like that, I think the Sopranos largely squandered that potential.

yeah it's well worth picking up.  I got mine off Amazon early last year and I think it cost me around $150 with shipping.  Looks like the price has gone down.

I'm pretty sure it comes on right after "Police Cops"

ultimately, I am glad for the expanded Sopranos run, and I do enjoy some of the meandering subplots of 6A, but there is obvious padding there.

good point, but in those cases he didn't just crash his car while high on drugs.  I always saw it as a spur-of-the moment decision, in that he suddenly saw Chris as a liability.  If he couldn't pass a drug test, there's a possibility that he could have even been charged and made to flip on Tony (remember what happened…
