I think Tony has turned a corner and there is hope for his salvation. You can start rooting for Tony again, maybe he will see his evil ways and change before it is too late ala Ebonezzer Scrooge. First Tony contemplates the sale of the building wanting to keep the neighborhood the same. Did he sell the building to get closer to the realitor or did that old prejudice lady help him determine he wants to dis-associate himeself from the old world.
Also it was funny how big corporate business does not lend itself for the local hoods with Patsy and Starbusks and now anothe big chain. "What is happening to the Neighborhood"
Also we have a very moving scene with AJ where Tony all but says my way is not the right way.
And finally Tony staying true to Carmella, very big.
I like the new Tony Soprano and I hope he keep moving in the right direction.
Also the speculation kills me. When I first saw the photo of Vito with his eye before the season began I thought like everyone that he was going to be taking out like Moe Green.
Then I hear the rumour about the rape with Finn and think that maybe Finn gauges Vito's eye out during the brutal rape.
But what do we really get... Two homosexuals in a little pre lovers tiff.
