Wow. I'm not sure what it was about this episode, but I believe it was by far the best of the season so far. I absolutely loved it, despite the fact that it was a bit depressing. I agree with Don Lights about the whole Vito thing not being resolved until the end of the season at this point. His eye was messed up pretty bad, but not as badly as I remember seeing in that picture, though possibly I remember incorrectly. Great character exploration in this episode. I was surprised that I actually liked the AJ storyline. He's usually pretty annoying to watch lol. Oh and it looks like Phil is going a bit crazy again. Always fun, I love Frank Vincent. (His book is hilarious)
Anyway, next episode looks to be another great one. I have been waiting for this carnival looking thing since I saw it in the teaser for the season. Looks to be great cinematography if nothing else

Paulie and Bobby going at it should be interesting. Tony, I believe, saying something along the lines of "it must be taken care of tonight." and Chris firing a gun out of a car. Not to mention, Janice shouting "Somebody call an ambulance!" Man, it looks great. But what I am most interested in next episode is the relationship between Chris and Tony getting stronger. That is what I got from the trailer anyway. We see them working together packing boxes into the back of a van. (The one Chris was shooting out of maybe?) Who knows? Sorry for the long rambling post lol.
God, I love this show
One more random side note. All of the sudden, as I was watching the trailer for next episode, this huge feeling came over me. Almost like a revelation. I sincerely believed, "They are all going to die." I don't know why, it just seems like all is going to hell. The more I think about it, it doesn't seem likely. But hey, I never disregard my instincts. Chase is a tricky bastard though lol.
