I didn't think it was a bad episode. It did keep me interested. I don't mind getting info and background on Tony's father's life.

While of course, not the best episode, entertaining nonetheless.
Granted, no whackings or major shocks, and I can see where it would be a disappointment to those wanting to see whackings every week. Perhaps, since the general consesus so far this season seems to be "boring", it may be good that this is the second to the last season, since many think it's running out of steam. That being said, it's still my favorite show on tv.
I too, am still wondering if the "old lady" is on the level or just after money.

Junior's funeral addiction was comical, but many of the regulars weren't involved last night.
