"What the f***" Thats exactly what I said after this episode ended. Nobody... NOBODY here can tell me that this last episode had any damn thing good in it. We spent one whole hour watching three uninteresting storylines that had NOTHING to do with anything going on with the Sopranos this season. I would have requested to remove my name from the show if I directed this freaking awful script. If your television season is only 13 damn episodes long then why you even bother wasting one on trash like this?

I think this episode was strictly more character development.
Tony began to realize that he is turning into his father and I'm thinking he's not too proud about it. Also, something is going to happen with Junior this season...he's going to do something crazy and they have been setting this up with these past few episodes.
Christopher's storyline was interesting in that he was trying to help his friend from his "AA" group and realized that he ended up driving him back to the smack. Christopher showed that deep down he has a heart...instead of just "whacking" the guy like everyone on this board loves to have happen...he's doing his best to give the guy a break.

Ok, so i just watched the worst hour of tv in my life (sopranos) then the best hour of tv in my life("24"). I cant believe how useless and uninteresting this episode was. Lara Means, you said it best, i couldnt agree with you more. where the fluck was adrianna? Who the hell gives a flying slop about chris's "friend" or this old lady! thank gosh i watched "24" right afterwards and that totally made up for it.

While I would have enjoyed this episode mid-third/fourth season more, I think it's getting a bit late in this series lifespan to be introducing new characters and devoting full hours to episodes that don't resolve any of the issues that are still outstanding. What's the countdown to, about T minus 15 episodes left? I guess that still gives them enough time, but again let's devote more screentime to the characters everyone has come to know over the past five years rather than bringing in new ones.

Tony bitching to Dr. Milfi, Tony bitching to Carmela, Tony bitching about his son, Tony bitching about his mother, and countless other things that Tony bitches about. Nothing new or interesting is happening. Except for the possible Jersey/NY war that has not been even brought up in the past 3 weeks. The episode that aired today came from so far left field that I honestly can't believe how the hell anyone on the show couldve written it. The most dull hour ive spent watching tv ever.

This show is just not what it used to be, plain and simple. It's been riding on it's own coattails for a while now. Memories of how great it used to be makes people keep giving it chance after chance to regain it's lost luster.
It looks like this season is gonna be a bust. Even if they launch a few blockbuster, excellent, mind blowing shows at the end, it'll be too little, too late.

while not "Great"...this was another solid hour of television, and it illustrates even clearer that even on it's worst nights, the Sopranos is leagues beyond any other crap on TV...including 24. Those that are complaining just don't get it. the Show is called THE SOPRANOS...it is about a family....tonight was a critical episode in Tony's life and what he is coming to terms with. The final scene at the Bada Bing said it all.....if you can't see that, just stop watching the damned thing and quit bitching on here about it.

however, i have liked this season a lot so far until tonight. it was pure waste. when it ended, even my wife looked at me and asked, "what was that?"
my answer was "pure crap"

Tony's reaction to seeing his old dog, and finding out it wound up at his dad's mistress's place was LOL funny.
I'm sure many people have thought about seeing Tim Daly get his ass kicked, so for them, it was a great episode. Christopher's line about Faveau ripping his ideas off was also a good line.
I was so creeped out by the "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" performance. Eww...
The last restuarant dinner between Tony and his father's mistress was so uncomfortable as the bloom from the rose was fading fast.
Uncle Junior continues to slide. How many funerals can an old man take?
There's plenty of disrespecting going on with the NY/NJ crews, so trouble's really starting to brew.

WTF? Was this intended to be a review or a recap?
