The Sopranos 3/14 "Rat Pack"

From HBO.com:

Tony sizes up a contractor's gift, then reunites with his paroled cousin, Tony Blundetto (Steve Buscemi). Meanwhile, Paulie and Christopher relive some not-so-special memories; Carmela launches a film club; Adriana grapples with her guilt; and a familiar figure "crosses over."

So I just remembered I can watch this at 6:00 thanks to HBO East. How utterly satisfying

So anyone have any predictions as to who (if anyone) gets whacked tonight?

Based on last weeks preview, I think Steve Buscemi won't last the season.

I too doubt Blundetto will last the season, he's already trying to tread on Tony's feet more than some of his former enemies did and that's just from seeing the clips.

Yeah, plus he seems like he's sleazy enough to try something...well sleazy.

Plus his last name makes me think of bludgeoned to death,

Perhaps that may be his demise.....

Who is Laraine? A new character for the season?

Looks like Carmine got whacked by the Grim Reaper. I wonder if the opus dei reference was thrown in there due to the popularity of The Da Vinci Code ?

Also, is the female agent with Adrianna the same one who busted her last season? She looks like she aged. The way their relationship is going, I wouldn't be surprised if Christopher whacks Adrianna without knowing about her being a "rat." If he does whack her while knowing, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened on their honeymoon after their wedding, if it occurs.

P.S. Buscemi rocks!

P.P.S. Carmella still uses VHS?

Like the way the FBI agent put it in perspective that Tony and Co. are indeed the bad guys, something this show really makes the viewer forget.

Good ep. My TV picture quality was kind of lacking, can anyone tell me who that person in the trunk was at the end? Furthermore, what was the significance of Adrianna giving info. to the agent at the end, and what was that Stones song? We really need another soundtrack album.

The guy in the trunk was the rat with the microphone in his hat (not sure of who the character is, city councilman maybe?). Adrianna was giving information on the slut in the fox skin coat that was flirting with Christopher. I though Chris would end up screwing her, who knew it would be Adrianna!

I thought the guy in the trunk was the guy who gave Tony the Rat Pack artwork. My take on Adriana giving up info on the Tina girl was cause she was sick of her coming on to Christopher. Next week's ep looks really good, looks like the action is kicking up.

Now can anyone tell me who the older guy with the glasses was? The one in the car with the agent near the end, who seemed to have audio of Tony talking to the capo's, demanding they earn more money.

Wasnt he one of the guys who got busted during the season finale of season 1, with Uncle Junior? He was in an episode last year talking to an agent outside an Office Depot, if i remember right.

The line about the ricochet off the coconut had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Did anyone else have problem with their Comcast HD signal? I was at my friend's house and it skipped a bit frequently for my taste.

Do you have more info about the opus dei ?

I did not know what that was about.

Think the Judas reference might be a foreshadowing? Adrianna seems like the kind of person who would easily commit suicide if she couldn't get an easy way out of her situation. If she does, I think she would overdose on something.

Drunk Tony is hilarious. I loved the way he just slammed the Rat Pack print up against the wall.

Good episode, this season has already surpassed season 4 in my view...Seems like they are building on something pretty big..My HD signal on brighthouse seemed kinda messed up as well, but I thought it was my TV.

I missed out on most of last season, and from what I hear I didn't miss that much.

For what it's worth, the opus dei is some religous group whose techniques are allegedly detailed to the utmost truthfulness in "The Da Vinci Code." And if you don't know what that book is you must have been under a rock for the past 10 months.

I half expected Adriana to die in a car accident or something after the way she left drunk on movie night at the Soprano house.

Where is Tony living anyway? Looked like his mothers house, but I thought they sold that?

Absolutely. Although it almost seems too obvious, what with her fragile state of mind.

The scene where Adriana was about to spill the beans to her movie club about working with the Feds was almost as suspenseful as when Dr. Melfi was about to tell Tony about her rape.

Good thing Tony stole the A/V equipment or the Sopranos universe would've imploded when the ladies moved down the list and saw Goodfellas or Fargo or (insert Sopranos cast member's movie that's on the list).
