What @avclub-e0f48a1058f0f0204b22d4a2fd6f18ae:disqus said. But its hard to say for sure. I also remember the time, in one of the earlier episodes of the season, Phil and Vito were talking. Vito asked Marie to bring him one of those tasty as hell sounding hot water and lemon drinks. Phil was politely telling Vito that…

The old lady at the inn, you mean? That's no big deal, she just happened to have a room open from rent, and Vito happened by in time to benefit from it. That he was so obviously down on his luck was a big help. But I don't reckon any inn owner is going to turn down a customer when there's a room open and waiting to…

I've been through that myself, a couple of times. When moving to a new place, and taking in the sights for the first time, everything seems a lot more open and friendly that first time around. But the more you settle into the place, the more the less appealing aspects start to come into focus.

I can't imagine that great story line with Junior being cut off. Junior was practically invisible throughout most of the season as it was. That was probably his all around best episode of the season. He was feeling his oats, reliving his glory days when he used to help run the "executive game", only this time with a…

Now that you mentioned it, that entire Doc Santoro thing, while good, was probably one of the things added on when the season was extended. The heart attack that set that up probably wouldn't have happened either. On the downside, we would have been deprived of that magnificent scene of Gerry Torciano's blood…

Vito pretty much brought Finn's reaction on himself though. He was pretty damned intimidating after Finn caught him, both at the construction site, and later at the hospital. If that happened to me, it would always be front and center of my mind wondering when this guy was going to whack me to make sure I kept my…

That's the thing about the Sopranos, you can watch most episodes ten times, then watch it again and still maybe catch something you missed before. Of course I've only seen the butchered A&E versions, so no telling what all I've missed.

I'm not sure but I think that was replaced by the Hesh and Vito Jr. storylines in Chasing It. I don't know why, because I think that would have made a good story. Maybe they figured it wouldn't make sense that Tony would consider killing such a trusted long-time friend and associate over something so trivial, which I…

That's pretty damn sad. He also wrote a cookbook, evidently it didn't do very well.

Mob culture is itself sociopathic when you stop to think about it. You have to be able to acclimate yourself to that world in order to survive in it. Yeah, Richie seems to be a textbook sociopath, but when you look at him from the perspective of that world, his actions are more comprehensible. The whole thing where he…
