Didn't really like this episode. We saw AJ's "girlfriend" and nothing happened.

What a boring set-up episode. I just hope Janice gets whacked in the near future.

Mmmm...an okay episode, the stuff between Melfi and Tony is a riot, though. Those dreams...

AJ's seance was funny, but predictable.

Would someone please whack Janice? She's so irritating. She's basically filler material for the rest of the show, and it's becoming irksome. Finally, Bobby is eating Karen's Zitee (sp). About F-ing time!

The bits with the appraisal were funny in a sadistic way, like when the big fat guy (Tony's) finally catches up, and then start whaling on the appraiser. I never realized how dangerous that occupation could be.

Pauli's not in a good place.

I liked it, because I love any episode with Bobby even if Janice is there. I think my favorite moment of the episode is when he told her to shut the f up. She must be a really good actress to grate on people's nerves like that.

It looks like NY/NJ war is in the making, and I like that. NJ is better anyway.

Eh... pretty dull episode I must say, especially after two great ones. Chris, Meadow, and Adriana are probably my 3 favorite characters, and most interesting, and yet here's an episode without any of them. Although plot wise, I guess they have excuses not to be there, it still definitely drags down the show. And yeah, WAY too much Janice. Oh yeah, and I've never been one to enjoy subplots of interpretting dreams, no matter what the show. It always seems too calculated to me.

Oh well, I'm still looking forward to the last 2 of the season!!

Decent episode. Tony and Melfi's conversation was hilarious, as always. I did expect more to happen, but good nonetheless.

That was a great line.

Tony needs Melfi though, even though he doesn't care to admit it. Those dreams he's having are pretty intense.

Take all four seasons...this was the worst Sopranos edisode I've ever seen.
Dull, boring, uninteresting.

Only two more to go...they better be DAMN good.

In Tony's last dream, I was awaiting to here his mother belt out "ANTHONY!".

Alright episode, looks like Paulie is in trouble (like there was any doubt).

Phil L., I wouldn't say it was the worst episode ever but it wasn't as enjoyable as the past couple of shows.

I like Janice's character. She is like she is, because she is so ****ed up in the head.

The appraiser bits were hilarious.

"I'm just the appraiser."

I think Paulie will either be whacked or severely reprimanded before season's end, and I hate that cause he is one of my favorite characters. I think in the end of the series, it may just be Tony and Syl left in the crumbling wreckage of the family.

I thought it was fine, nothing like the last two though.

I thought the opening scene is Melfi's office was great.

I'm thinking that they're building to something big with Uncle Junior, but I'm not exactly sure what that might be.

I second the 'worst episode ever' comment.

Something big is bound to happen next week, something good has happened in the second to last episodes the last two seasons - Tony getting shot in season 1, Richie Aprile's demise in season 2, and Jackie Jr's f-up at the poker game in season 3.

anyways... i thought this was a very unfufilling episode.. since watching the preview at the end of last week's show, i was very anxious to see it, and was completely let down...

seems like way too many times this season i've been saying 'next week is gonna be incredible', and they've done very little to wow me...

still looking forward to the last 2 though, and don't know what i'll do with myself when they're done (prolly watch the first 4 seasons back to back again)...

good to finally see meadow in a preview at least... and tony's dream with the house was freakin' weird...

Who did Melfi call to tell she just "lost" Tony?

Melfi called her own shrink (Peter Bogdanovich).

Disappointing episode.

Felt like a lot of foot-dragging.

I have a feeling that this season will end with another anti-climax.
