It would have to be a Cricket, right?

I've always felt that the acting by Julianna Marguiles and Cristofuh is super strong in those episodes. And also I Heart Julianna Marguiles.

Yes Velveteen, I agree with you completely that the town is not meant to be seen as a "Heaven" that Vito should never want to leave. Its a beautiful, even idyllic place to live for any decent person but the point is that Vito is not decent in the slightest. He is a complete degenerate and has been shown as such since…

Spot on. Never saw that angle of the diner scene before your comment. What an amazing scene to still contain secrets after so many views and so many years.

Tony Sirico had about a dozen great line readings in this episode. One of my favorites ,"Check da Freeeeze."

Two quick points, I dont remember the doctor Finnerty sees in the coma dream ever telling him he would be saved if he talked to his doctors back home. The other point is how chilling Carmellas 180 is when she is having her session with Dr. Melfi. She comes so close to admitting her own role in raising the children in…

I always thought that Tony's sudden gambling problem was brilliant. His entire ethical and moral justification for being a gangster is built on the idea that its okay to make money off of gamblers because they are just repulsive degenerates who should know better. It's what his father drilled into him over and over…

David Proval as a Rabbi!! That sounds too good to be true. Damn it, another show I need to watch now.

Fucking Matush!  Of all the dipshits in the Soprano universe.

Thats funny that you mention Tony B. not getting Tony S. a coke himself. That always drove me nuts too.

A forty-foot Intestinal tract would have been pretty cool.

The freeze frame on Carmela is one of two bad stylistic choices in this episode.The other (and IMHO the worse) shot is of Johnny Sac peeling out in his Maserati from the sidewalk in front of the social club in NYC. The shot dollies from the license plate of Johnnys car to Tony standing there rebuffed by Johnny, but…

answer.no.

I think the use of the term Johnny cakes was actually one of the biggest problems. It was too easy to use as a humiliating short hand to demean Vito's homosexuality. Maybe it was meant to show a tender side of Vito that we never saw before but in reality it felt small to me, especially since he says "I love you johnny…

Maybe, but the show proved over and over again that it could use inexperienced actors, maybe even "bad" actors and have them knock their parts out of the park. When was the last time you saw Drea de mateo or Vincent Curatola or John Venta-whatever (Artie Bucco) in something, and they were all sensational.
