Well hopefully it looks like it might be Janice's last episode.

Why exactly are Chris and Tony B. digging up a dead body? It reminds me of Goodfellas. Interesting flashback they had.

The old guy sold the farm apparently. And they don't want them discovered if they build on the land.

I also just want to comment on that cheesy "slo-mo into freeze-frame" shot they just did w/Carmela. Not really this shows style.

looks like chrissy may just go into witness protection. First adrianna suggests a new life and then Tony makes fun of him.

Janice trying to manage her anger is hilarious.

TOny is a first class A-hole, but that ending was great. Who's that playing the closing music? It's catchy.

I thought the ending to this episode was great, especially when Destroyer started playing

Looks like they might kick it into overdrive next week. This week's ep. was probably an important one with more to it than meets the eye.

Tony is a big *******, but he's pretty damn funny too.

I liked it, it was great to learn a bit more about the relations between the Cousins.

I guess Tony took Melfi's advice and is gonna let everything out instead of holding it in.

Two great episodes in a row!

Good episode... Great ending. It looks like they're gonna be turning up the heat for the last 3.

What was the song title? Just using Destroyer didn't get much on Napster.

Great episode, i loved "Revenge is like serving cold cuts."

Terrific ending, first time i really was convinced that Tony is a complete and miserable A-hole.

Looks like NJ is going to side up with little Carmine, and i think Chris is still going to soldier on as usual.

Great ending song too!

Tony has a temper! Another piece of the Soprano puzzle has been filled!

Yeah, I didn't like it either. They did a couple of shots that didn't really fit in with the show.

I thought this was a great episode, definitely building up for the oncoming fued. All I can say about Tony is misery loves company - that was a messed up thing to say to Janice.

I think it's a remake of an old Kink's song. "I'm not like everybody else". Actually, it might not be their song originally, but they did a version of it.

"Pushing Buttons" that's what they should have named this epsiode.

Loved how Tony mangled the "Revenge is a dish best served cold" adage with "Revenge is like serving cold cuts".

Also enjoyed the tackle of Janice by the cop.

This felt like a season 1 Sopranos episode.

The dynamics of 3 people busting on one another never lasts for long without feelings get hurt.

Just as an FYI for the unusual shooting style for this episode: It was directed by Mike Figgis.

Tony's line about "What's French-Canadian for 'growing up without a mother'" was so messed up, yet hilarious.

I don't know if it was Tony being an ass (probably was), but it looked like he wanted to know if she was full of shit on her anger management.

No it was Tony wanting everybody else to be as miserable as he is.
