"Employee of the Month" is one of the worst episodes.
I wonder if we watched the same series..... I thought "Employee" was one of the BEST episodes. Wonderfully acted and had me REALLY wishing that Melfi would have told Tony about the rape.
I just find it contrived and obvious on so many levels. It creates all sorts of convenient moral stances on Chase and his writers' parts.
I had an interesting discussion on this episode recently
here, did you read it?
