4/22 Sopranos: speculation and eventual spoilers

I gotta admit, I couldn't help but think of Va. Tech in that scene.

He was so fucking angry.

Just an "eh" episode.

 

Holy shit, Simon, I didn't even realize that until you said it. That's some creepy shit right there. I don't know about everyone else, but this was kind of a let-down for me. With such a foreboding ending to the previous week, I was expecting a higher body count.

BTW: that escort definitely was asking too many questions.

 

I think this episode sets up the rest of the season nicely.

 

After Virginia Tech, I'm sure the producers couldn't have felt good about the airing of this episode, not even a week later. But I guess there's really nothing they could have done ... I'm guessing it's going to get a little bit of media play/controversy.

 

I wasn't let down. I have learned not to expect the expected too often with Chase. I am sure if this episodde had the kinds of payoffs people were anticipating, some would have called it too predictable.

And yes, I think it sets up the ...

 

Don't say it, Johnny. Don't you even think about finishing that sentence, or you'll be seeing Big Pussy in your dreams, and I'm not talkin' about Anna Nicole, either!

 

spaceman said it first.

 

god, i thought it was a great epsisode... so much going on

just the reason i love the show, character development and all the otehr stuff. again, great stuff from chase

 

I think Tony is coming to grips with the life he has chosen. I do not think it pleased him to think that he was considering killing a man he looked up to for years.

I also think the fact that Junior is wasting away in a nut house getting beaten up by Asain kids is not going to sit well either.

By the way, the Asain kid did an awsome job with that part. I was thinking about Tech in the back of my mind thoough.

One of those hitters dropping the gun will be important.

Oh, I think Paulie is the one wearing a wire. I just have a feeling.

 

From now on, I'm just going to treat every subtle little thing as a red herring. So many clues are thrown around that I'm just going to sit back and watch the bullets fly. Trying to figure out this show sometimes gives me headaches.

 

Cho was born in South Korea. Ken Leung, the actor who played the nutjob that kicked Junior's ass, was born in New York.

I suspect Chase, who has been under fire for stereotyping, wouldn't have wanted to pull this episode or delay it on account of the Virginia Tech shootings. I don't know Leung's family history, but there would have been a certain "They all look alike" aspect to sitting on this episode because of Cho.

Asia is a pretty big place. Lots of nationalities. And as I said, Leung is an American, born and bred.

 

He scratched his stomach a lot on the boat. Gastrointestinal problems? Or an itch from the tape or glue holding the wire in place so many times recently? (Don't think about this, Phila)
