Season 6B, Episode 5 CONTAINS SPOILERS

Episode 82- "Walk Like A Man" ---I'm thinkin that's a GF reference to "You can act like a man!" to Johnny Fontaine. Kinda resembles AJ's depression maybe, a "I dont know what to do" situation.

This week, A.J. struggles with depression. Kelli's dad is the unwitting catalyst of a new feud between Christopher and Paulie.

The Pinebarren boys at it again!!!

Swell, another previously-unseen character comes completely out of nowhere.

Should be good, Paulie vs Chris was always enjoyable and when they buried the hatchet in season 5 it took away from the show. Hopefully there's more mob related activities this week, and no more Hesh and Marie...what a lame episode.

Actually, I thought both Phil Leotardo's and Tony's sit-downs with Vito Jr. were reminiscent of Vito Corleone's "be a man" scene with Johnny Fontane. (Obviously Phil's more so.)

I've kept patience most of the year, but Chase has got to stop screwing around and start resolving some of the storylines.

Yeah yeah, I've read some people speculating that Chase plans to cross up everybody -- not resolve ANY of the story lines, just leave everything hanging -- and of course, he certainly COULD do that, but that is really gonna piss a lot of people off who have been watching the show for a long time.

if Tony goes to jail, what is Carmela left with? In the last episode, didn't he reassure her that she would be taken care of? I don't buy it. If Johnny Sack couldn't make provisions for his wife, how can Tony?

Well, one more episode gone. Your guess is as good as mine.

I wasn't very impressed. It was the same sort of fight and outcome as when they went at it in season five. Even going as far as having J.T. dying just like the waiter.

What an excellent episode. Perhaps the best so far this season.

Gandolfini was outstanding in the scene with Melfi. He made you feel really sorry for him. For the moment he made you put aside the fact that he was a mobster and he made you relate to him and feel for him, especially if you are a parent. He even left Melfi speechless.

Imperioli also did an outstanding job in this episode. His acting was superb. At times you couldn't help but feel sorry for him either. But just as you begin to feel bad for him, he turns around and kills that poor guy for no reason except out of his own fustration for not being able to do anything to Paulie.

Paulie is out of control! It looks as though he's getting closer to getting himself whacked.

And A.J., is he now following in his father's footsteps in more ways than one? Therapy, feels like a failure, goes out partying, at the bing, goes on a run with the boys, etc.

Great how the writers made A.J. and Tony come home at the same time. As if they were showing us that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Like father like son.

I couldn't tell though, if when Patsy's boy and his buddy were beating up the kid who owed them money, if A.J. was liking what he was seeing or not. (Have to watch that scene again). My initial reaction in that scene was that he took another step towards becoming like his father. Any thoughts on that scene?

I enjoyed the episode.

I'm at the point now where I can't/won't try to figure out what will happen anymore. I was surprised that TJ was hit (Chris' misdirected anger), and was waiting for AJ to kill himself. (I get the distinct impression that AJ "got off" on the torture of the kid who owed his friends money).

We're (obviously) being led to believe that Chris may turn rat and it'll be interesting to see if that pans out. IF he does will Tony be forced to put a hit on him??

What was up with Tony ratting out the Middle Eastern guys??

AJ admitted that he was wired (after he got home and was sitting at the table).... you can see his leg jumping... I think he really enjoyed what was done to the kid who owed money.

Looks as though you and I had the same reaction to those scenes.

The middle eastern thing. Insurance. Money in the bank for Tony. Gives them this little bit of info and if it leads to something, then it goes on Tony's record and if he's ever arrested and convicted for a crime, the judge will take what he gave the feds about those Arabs into consideration at sentencing.

Was chase trying to show us that Tony was contemplating cooperating with the feds? Was he hinting at something of that nature?

Very interesting episode. A whole lot of insight into several key characters.

Coming attractions : Looks like Carmela is on the phone, holding her head breaking up!

Yes, that's what I thought. He got into it big time. Taking the path of his father. Because he's miserable and angry, he enjoyed seeing someone else being miserable, misdirected self fustration, enjoying seeing someone else hurt. Sounds like Tony to me!

I gotta say, Paulie is getting to be a big pain. Christopher is no Saint by any means, but the way Paulie gets him riled. And Paulie is so hot headed too, destroying Christopher's lawn.

I didn't expect Christopher to shoot the movie producer. Is it because his last words were, "you're in the mafia?" Or perhaps Christopher realized he was saying too much. I thought he was really gonna spill his guts.

And as far as AJ goes, he seems to be showing a touch of his father, as far as violence goes with the young college boy. That was so mean.

One thing, I missed the very beginning due to a phone call, when the Feds were asking Tony about the Mid-Eastern guys. I just missed the reason the Feds gave Tony, as to why they were looking for them. If this doesn't play out in some way in the next four episodes, I'll be surprised. It's been hinted a few times. I don't know that it'll turn out to be a huge thing, but perhaps the fact that Tony gave them their names and cell number (notice the one Fed said, "that's big", when he gave the phone number), will result in the law going just a little easy on Tony in the end?????

I can see the meaning of the title,"Walk Like A Man." Paulie and Christopher making an attempt in the end to apologize; AJ in his own way attempting to snap out of his depression; and, I didn't realize that Christopher actually seems to love his wife and is enjoying fatherhood.


TIS

Tony's little speech to AJ about the songs that were written on breaking up (he mentioned "Tears on My Pillow") was where this week's title came from ("Walk Like a Man", a Four Seasons song) got AJ on that path. Wouldn't it be a kick in the head if AJ DID get involved in the Mob (against Tony's wishes) because of that?

Great pickup SC! I didn't realize that about the relation of the songs being the Four Seasons! I think that AJ is going to get mixed up. But don't know if Tony will really object, at least at first. Tony seemed pretty depressed when Patsy was bragging about his own son. Tony ducked out because he couldn't tell him anything about AJ that would make him proud. Perhaps Tony will initially accept AJ joining in on the business, but something may happen where Tony realizes that this is no good, but it will be too late!

TIS - See my post above about the middle easterners and the feds situation. Giving them that information is somewhat of an insurance policy for Tony.

Hi DC,

Yea I did read your post. I had spent about ten minutes typing mine and when I finally submitted it, I saw yours and SC's. Looks like we got some of the same impressions. You know what they say about great minds?

Good point SC about Tony/AJ getting home at the same time.

All I know is, The Sopranos is still a good show, and I will surely miss it when it ends. I'll miss these discussions and speculations (that are always wrong). After all, we don't discuss any other show on the BB as much as we do this one.

TIS

I said the same exact thing to my wife about how I'm really going to miss this show when it finally ends.

Don't cry DC!!! Walk Like A Man.
Oops!! Sorry! Here, have a blue drink on me.


TIS

They dragged that guy off and assaulted him. It was pretty public. I wonder if that will come back on AJ. Also, Chris shooting that guy? The cops find out about things sometimes in mysterious ways. Could that have repurcussions.

And what about a Tony suicide?

Tony and Tony Jr. (the former A.J.) walked in the house together.

Instead of A.J.'s previous slumped-over, slouching, shuffling walk, he walked in confidently, with head held high, just like Dad.

My wild guess is that Tony Jr. finally takes out Corrado next week (without Dad's knowledge and against his wishes). Then, there will be only one Junior Soprano.

Funniest scene of the episode: Tony giving AJ a pep-talk and telling him to go out and get a blowjob. AJ answers back loudly that he doesn't want a bj and Tony scolds him to keep his voice down. AJ suspects (correctly) that someone is listening and Carmella comes walking in.

There are times that Tony and Carm are clueless.

Paulie was out of control. I was surprised that Tony did nothing after the wisecrack about Christopher's daughter was mentioned. Christopher shoots the movie producer was like when he shot the kid in season 1 for not bringing him his pastries. Looks like A.J is going to follow in his father's footsteps after all IMHO. Did you see the look in his eyes when they were beating that guy up.

Christopher was very violent in this episode! He beat the shit out of Little Paulie and when he threw out of that window... :o...Benny's face said it all. Then while he's drunk he murders JT Daly, probably because he realized he said too much. Patsy and Carlo have very nice boys... pouring acid on that kids' foot...holy shit!. Paulie driving all over Chris's lawn was great, he's really pushing people's buttons now and might take might go too far. Very good episode, nice rebound after the mundane "Chasing It". I give this one a B+!

I'd definitely say Paulie is on borrowed time after last night's episode. Between annoying the crap out of Tony 2 weeks ago, and the stunts he pulled last night, I don't see him surviving this season. Tony Sirico is awesome.

A great episode, I thought. Seeing the downward spiral of both of Tony's sons (Chris has always been like a son to Tony) was pretty tough. Chris getting drunk and nearly spilling his guts to JT was shocking. Once he realized all the things he had just said, he had no choice but to kill JT. It was either JT or himself.

Tony talking with the feds didn't shock me much. I've seen it coming for a while now...and though it was nothing incriminating against HIS business, talking to the feds AT ALL is still a dangerous game to be playing. Could this be a precursor of things to come?

Well, unless there is one heck of a surprise coming, it seems obvious that Chris' dissafection with the mob and Tony is coming to a climax. His referring to Ade again was scary.

Could be a possible "way out" if Phil goes whack happy on his family and Tony needs protection for him, Carm, Meadow, and AJ. He has to keep all options open in case something bad happens. I see Paulie going within the next couple episodes.

Anyone notice the look Chris gave Bobby at the Bing? Tony and Bobby have been real close lately and I doubt Chris is all to happy about this.

Very good episode, maybe the best of the year.

There are so many places the show could go, but with only 4 episodes to go, it looks like there will be LOTS of loose ends. That's good though, it leaves something to the imagination.

For the first time in the history of the series I felt a little bad for Christopher, till he killed JT of course. I guess it can be said that the mob and 12 step programs are not conducive to one another. Chris can never truly be sober if he remains in the environment, yet when he slips off the wagon, he's always one step closer towards self destruction. A real catch 22. Let's face it, junkies are always prime candidates to become rats. It makes me think of Henry Hill. In one of the first episodes of the series, at a barbecue at Tony's house, Tony berated Christopher for his screenwriting aspirations and said something to the effect of "You thinking of going Henry Hill on me ?" Well, so far he has become a screenwriter.
He really resents Tony not being more sympathetic of the Adriana thing, maybe moreso than her death itself. I think he could become a rat, but I think in all likelyhood, he'll end up getting himself killed first.

I think AJ got off a bit on watching his buddies beat on that kid, much like he did when he promoted that party a few years ago and someone got beat up for not paying for his beer. Maybe he will bounce back from getting his heart broken, kid's are awfully resilient. I think we'll know more next week.

Paulie is just a miserable, out for himself scumbag. Too bad Little Paulie had to pay the price for it. I mean, it's the guy's father in law for God's sake. That should have counted enough for Paulie to lay off a little bit. Now I really hope he gets whacked. It says alot about the show that it could make a viewer want to see a character get killed. I can't wait till next week.

I think Christopher knows better than to hit Paulie, he had to send a message and to do that he had to beat up...Little Paulie.

I'm starting to wonder if Pizzaboy and Don Cardi are really the same person posting under two different names on this board!

Jesus, I didn't even see your post, DC!!

That's scary. If great minds think alike, I guess simple ones do, too.

Poor JT, he finally gets a break, writing for Law & Order, just tryin to make a deadline, wanting to go to sleep, and Chris comes in, all drunk and bitchy, he tries to help, Chris yells at him, and finally shoots him in the head....

I think the Aide situation is seen from 2 totally different perspectives by Tony and Christopher. Chris, on one hand, thinks that he had a choice in siding with Aide (witness protection) or Tony (as he did). By siding with Tony, he feels Tony "owes" him something in return. Tony, conversely, feels that, in this life, there WAS NO choice. Chris had to let Aide be killed. So, according to Tony, if Chris was just doing his job, why should he owe him something?

I bet Meadow's mystery date is Dick Barone, Jr. I saw a look in season 6, part 1...

Tony cooperating with the Feds, as was previously posted, was insurance. He did not say anything about his life and crew, so to Tony, it was ok by Mob code.

Great, great episode.

Watching Michael Imperioli in the episode last night, I was struck several times with the thought that he COULD, indeed, play Michael Corleone if any more "Godfather" films are ever made.

Ok, ya'll know that I still think Ade is coming back. But that aside, I think that Chris believes not only that he had a choice as posted above, but his faux relationship with Kelli is an attempt to fullfill what he could have had with Ade -something outside of the Mafia.

When the series ends and Ade hasn't risen from the grave then what will your belief be?

That there will be a movie.

man i just watched the episode and i liked it a lot, i think the Arab thing is nothing more than tony trying to save his own skin, aj is finally enjoying being a mob prince, and chrissy [my fav] is all messed up i just hope he don't snitch!

lots more good parts that you all have mentioned, good signs for future episodes

Does anyone else remember JT Dolan having a wife and kid, like in previous visits from Chris and at the Cleaver premiere?? If so, where were they when he got shot? As a side note, Chris kept the gun he used, so if the cops picked him up, he's toast.

Danny de Vito would have been perfect for the role of Al!!

He had a girlfriend and mentioned she was out (so that he could work on the script).

Only we believers are privy to that.

Hehe as if Ade is still alive! Very good episode though, almost makes up for the awfulness of the last one. I'm a bit worried about the future of Chris/Paulie and AJ though

Why do I have this gut feeling that the season finale is NOT going to give us any closure? Something tells me that some shit will go down but we'll be left with a cliffhanger without any real finality.

Did anyone say 2 hour movie down the road?

I hope not DC. If there are loose ends, and there will be, I'd rather they leave it to the imagination. "Reunion" movies always suck.

No Pizza, I don't see it as being a reunion movie, but more of a movie that will tie up any loose ends left by the series finale, and one that will bring closure. Let's face it, it they left us hanging with the series finale, and then next year came out with e two hour movie, we'd be running to see it looking for final answers, and Chase knows this.

Oh, no doubt DC. I just think that Chase kind of likes the idea of not resolving every little thing. And sure, if it came out within a couple of years, I'd be the first on line to see it. Hell, we've waited that long for another season. I just meant that if it was done 5 or 10 years down the road, that type of "reunion" always sucks.

Great episode, Chris and Paulie always have these fights and it always goes back to normal. I was thinking this time that it wouldn't.

Well, I posted a couple of weeks ago that I can see the final scene being Tony sitting in front of Satriale's smoking a cigar as the camera then pans around the neighborhood. It could be as anti-climactic as that. Tony survives; all others are vanquished either by him or by someone or something else.

The wick is burning down...will it be an explosion or a dud?

"Deadwood" blazed the trail last year: a "finale" that didn't resolve anything.

Thanks for clearing that up, SC. I just saw the rerun last night.

That's because there was suppose to be a fourth season of "Deadwood", but HBO cancelled it due to costs. The creator will make two 2 hour films as a finale for Deadwood.

By the way, I saw a rerun where Uncle Jun tells Tony that he has stomach cancer. Whatever happened to the cancer? I don't remember it coming up again.

Dr.Kennedy took care of it in season 3 or 4, that storyline is over with. Kinda like Adriana being alive!

Hey, I still have my Disco threads.

Don't you remember his toast at Jackie Junior's funeral ?

"I beat cancer, now I'm gonna beat the can."

Then he sang Core N'Grato.

I have a feeling we might see Chris get pinched for shooting his film producer pal and then potentially squeeling on Tony and his crew to save his skin - maybe that was his intention when he shot his pal?!

Chrissy needed no arrest in order for him to spill his guts. The whole thing is, he had the chance to do it before - with Adrianna at his side. It would have been a sweet deal, and she wouldn't have had to die.

Now, its too complicated. Chrissy has a wife and a daughter. What, he's going to pick up stakes now with an innocent wife and infant child and go into hiding for the rest of their lives? Plus, I think Chris actually liked JT, and might feel great guilt over killing him.

I see your point Buttmunker but since when does having an innocent wife or child stop these scumbags from doing anything ?

I re-watched it last night. Watching the BBQ scene at Christopher's house, it was almost as though we were getting a glimpse of what's in store for Christopher. We're all talking about him getting whacked or turning rat, BUT, in that scene it was like we were seeing the future boss.

Throughout this entire series, the parties and the BBQs have always been at Tony's house. Tony would be the host, the cook, etc. Seeing Christopher hosting this BBQ and standing at the grill cooking gave me this feeling that he may be next in line for the throne. Kelly playing miss hostess the way that Carm used to. Tony walking over breaking his balls telling him when to turn the steaks and the ribs, and Christopher gives him this look. Almost one that resonated "boss me around all you want right now, even about my BBQing, but someday......."

Just an observation on my part that could really turn out to be nothing.

Could be DC. I'm thinking that one final heroin bender is gonna be his downfall.

And that's what we're all thinking. That's the direction that Chase is leading us in with Chris's character. But we all know how Chase will suddenly change direction and do the opposite if what we're expecting.

Too many similarities in this episode between Tony and Chris. Both having to deal with a disease. In the past Tony had tried staying away from his guys for a while when he was in therapy. Now Chris trying to do the same thing. Tony getting disgusted with his people at times, Chris getting disgusted now. Hosting the big BBQ bash. Think about it.

Hmm... I saw it differently. I took it as Bobby Bacala as becoming Tony's "choice" for replacement. The scene in which Tony, Silvio and Bobby are discussing some future income making scheme (MRI's?) and Chris storms in to complain about Paulie. Tony was upset over that intrusion AND it was Bobby Bacala who asked what the problem was.

In any event, I disagree with the above poster who said that Chris actually liked JT. Chris had no qualms about beating him upside the head (with the trophy) a few episodes back. I sure hope somebody doesn't like me that much.

Oh, no question about that SC. Baccala clearly looks like Tony's choice.

But perhaps it will be Christopher NOT by Tony's choice, but by Christophers own doing. Christopher clearly picked up on the Tony / Baccala relationship in the bing and at the BBQ, just as we did.

If it's Chris, it will be by his own doing, and not by Tony's.

I think you both make valid points.

Chris gave Bobby a dirty look when he asked him what the problem was and the camera did zoom in on Bobby laughing at Paulie's jokes about Christopher's daughter, so there could be some resentment there.

There are only 4 episodes left. Chase is gonna leave alot of things unresolved. I think that's good though, it leaves things open to the imagination and a possible movie down the road.

Well, if Tony was replaced as boss (natural or not) could we really expect Chris to get the backing of the New York families AND from Tony's crew ? It seems that over the years, if it wasn't for Tony, Chris would be long gone by one of their hands by now. I just can't see him garnering any support as a boss.

I'm beginning to believe that Chris is sorry he ever became "made". He KNEW he had to tell Tony about Adriana's experiences with the Feds but he seems to have forgotten that now (and now he's blaming Ade's death on Tony - conveniently forgetting that Ade would have taken him down as well). I have no sympathy for Chris - he made his bed, now he has to lay in it.

How about Chase leaving himself an out with AJ becoming involved with Jason Parisi and Jason Gervasi? I remember in season 5 when Carmela was having an affair with AJ's counsler she said AJ needed to go to college or he would quickly turn to the life of which his father has chosen. Well AJ dropped out of college and quit his job, the chips seem to be falling into place for AJ to follow in the footsteps of Tony. Though for whatever reason I don't see him surviving the series.

Any possibility that Chris could kill Bobby and have it blamed on New York? There seems to be tension between the two since Chris has had a semi falling out with Tony.

Yeah, I caught another rerun where he's being treated by Dr. Kennedy. So, I remember now. I wonder if that Dr. Kennedy could be the grandson of the Dr. Kennedy who treated Vito.

But New York / Phil Leotardo could see Christopher as Tony's achilles heal. You know how these people are. One day they want to kill you, and the next day, if it works for their selfish reasons, they'll get in bed with you. Remember that Phil blames Tony for his cousin killing Phil's brother. And Chris now blames Tony for Adriana. Misery loves company!

I just can't see Chris being seriously considered by anyone except Tony as a successor. Phil might because he figures that he could dominate Chris. Chris just does not have the gravitas; he is not leadership material. Of course, as seveal have posted, Chris' committment to this life has significantly eroded since Ade's (near) death. He's in a relationship that only mimics what he had and intended to have with Ade. His Mafia way of life simply allows him to emote with near impunity. That's the appeal it holds for him, but that appeal is waning as he has matured.

You get points for tenacity (if for nothing else).

Ancora.

I almost hope she did survive, just to placate Mr. Olivant.

Although I may not be as strong an advocate as Olivant, I will admit that I've had my moments of doubt about her death. I think that Chase may have just left himself an open door. Whether he chooses to use it or not is another thing entirely.

That I agree with. She left the show to move on to JOEY, the FRIENDS spinoff. Being that it was no sure thing (it sucked), perhaps Chase wanted to leave the door open. However, in my opinion, the only way for this to happen would be for Silvio to be involved. There's no way that he could have botched the hit from that close.

Not unless Sil did it on purpose. Perhaps he took pity on the young and pretty Ade.

That's what I meant, that Sil would have had to spare her.

That's a load of dung. If Sil was going to spare her, he would have explained himself on the ride. Instead, he was quiet, ominous. He dragged her ass outta the car, aimed his pistol at her as she crawled desperately away.

Nope, doesn't look like he had any intentions of sparing her.

I'll tell ya, the reruns are up to season 3 on A&E. Just the other night Ralphie killed that stripper, but earlier in the episode Sil slapped the shit out of her over a lousy $3,000. Her being young and pretty had no effect on him in that case. I don't think he had any qualms about killing Ade.

Olivant and his frigging conspiracy theories. Just where in Texas do you live, the grassy knoll ?

Oh, that poor girl. IMO, she suffered one of the most horrible deaths on The Sopranos, and there's been some serious competition for that honor!

But he KNEW Ade. She was "one of them". The stripper was just a piece of meat. I know that these guys don't have consciences, but isn't it possible that, as he saw her begging and crawling on the ground, he had second thoughts? I'm just saying, Possible?

that's a pretty good Sil impression, there.

I think it's possible, just not probable. However, as I stated earlier, if they were to bring her back, it's the only plausible way she could have survived. If they were to say that Sil left her for dead and some farmer found her and got her to a hosspital, etc... I'd have a very hard time with it.

UGH!! Me, too. That would just be going all Dallas on us.

I'd just want the mad russian interior decorator to come out of the woodwork for the final episode. "Surprise!"

Like I wrote in another post: I still have my disco outfits hanging neatly in the closet.

Believe it or not, this is the ONE episode that I NEVER watched UNTIL the A&E series. And...this does disprove my "Sil's a rat who didn't kill Ade" theory b/c he would have never acted that way to Richie's stripper if he was in the program.


But.... me have 2 questions that I hope someone will be kind enough to answer.

1.) Ade is an Aprile. Richie Aprile gets on Chrissy for hitting his niece. So.... why is Jackie Jr. giving her "the stare" while he sits w/ Richie? This is incest, no? He is totally checking her out!

2.) I could be an idiot for this, but...Sil is somehow related to Ade, right? Not sure if it's the Aprile side or the other side but they are related. Am I right? So....Sil could possibly have mercy for his family and NOT kill Ade in Olivant's now infamous Ade-death scene.

I could be wrong about Sil's relation though. However, Ade IS related to Richie Aprile, so why the hell is Jackie Jr checking her out?(I know I've seen this discussed before)

Sil is not related to Ade, Ice.

As far as Jackie Jr, he could be related to Uncle Jackie through the other side of the family and he and Ade didn't share any blood OR he's just a horndog.

I'll go with horndog, Jackie Jr. never struck me as a smart person.

Gotta agree with you there bduff. He was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Although, in this case, I can't be too quick to judge him. It was easy for me to never look at my girl cousins in that light because most of my girl cousins look like Ernest Borginine.

I'm not a big fan of Wikipedia but their "Sopranos" section is fun and worth a look at. Here's a link to it (below):

WIKIPEDIA LIST OF "SOPRANO" CHARACTERS

Whaddya want to do tonite, Marty?

Don't get me started on MARTY, SC. I adore that movie. Marty was a butcher at Vincent's Meat Market on Arthur Avenue, around the corner from where I grew up.

I absolutely love "Marty"!!

You ever see "Love With the Proper Stranger"?? (with Steve McQueen and Natalie Wood).

That was my mom's favorite movie!!

"We are in love."

"Yeah, you with yourself and me with myself."

The first great movie about Italian culture.

Vincent's Meat Market? Where's Arthur Avenue?? Is there stuff good??

It sounds more like a name of a brothel.

Stop it. Took pity on her? No way. Watch Sil in that scene very closely. He has a thirst for her blood when he is about to shoot her. And don't forget what he called her just before he pulled the trigger. There was no pity in those eyes or in that voice.

If it turns out that she is alive, then there is no way that Sil purposely let her live.

Wasn't Mary Vincent's meat market?

More like Vincent's Gnocchi Luuurrrve Machine!!

Actually, I was just there about a month ago. There's no way that a second shooter could have concealed himself there.

BUTTTTTTTT, that has nothing to do with Ade. if she is alive. I hope Sil didn't shoot her in the rearend. She had one fantastic rearend and for that reason alone, Chase should resurrect her.

Also, hasn't she appeared in at least a couple of episodes since her "demise?"

It is in the Bronx.

Paul, I was just teasing PB. I've been to Vincent's a number of times. PB and I are both from the Bronx, and often hijack threads waxing poetic on the various goods available on Arthur Avenue.

We didn't hijack anything this time. SC got me started on MARTY. But being that the thread is hijacked anyway...I was there about 2 weeks ago. I bought some of that nice lamb sausage with cheese and parsley, Cervelata Barese.

Very niiice (Borat).

So, what do you think the plot will be for this week's episode? Do you think that things will come to a head between Paulie and Chris? Or Tony and Chris?? I think that Chris is headed down such a dangerous path (la, la, la, la, not hearing PB try to lead me down the hijacking path...)

I'm outta here.

You're as big a cry-baby as Tony was when he was crying to Melfi over how betrayed he felt by Christopher (responding AND staying on topic!).

Nah, he's more like Christopher when Paulie the crew were making fun of him in the last episode. "I'm outta here!."

My Mom lived in the Bronx most of her life until she married my dad.

Anyone have the storyline yet on Sunday's episode?

There's a thread opened for Episode 6 already.
