If someone scored a 1200 or better, they'd be the talk of the town...now it seems like that's a starting point for college enrollment.

Wow! When were you in school?
Actually, I think they rolled up the scoring system for the SAT 5 or so years so the average score became 100 pts higher.

The end scene. Its faded very fast. I thought it was Carmella opening the doors to a gutted house but my wife said not. Was it gutted or what?
I thought it tied in with Tony's "no more Mr. Nice Guy" line at the end...

Great episode. Two great one's in a row... this show is rolling right now. Sad to see Feech go so soon, though.
We'll probably find out in season 6. 
David Straithairn was also the blind guy in Sneakers - great performance.
What about the previews for next week's episode? Who do you think it was on their knees at the end getting offed?

That's the kind of whacking I want to see.

i don't know what to think of the Sopranos this year, things are happening and enough is happening to keep me intrested. The episode was alright, nothing earth shaking, im my opinion. It seem like they are building up for something big this year but if nothing happens i won't be shocked

As for someone saying the people that weren't in last night's show. Adrianna was in it, she came in and asked if the guys wanted a drink and told Tony he should have a sandwich or soemthing because he didn't look so good. Granted, it was short, but she was in the episode.

It was her going into an "empty nest" (i.e. no kids, no husband, just her). The flashback to AJ driving the tricycle down the road should have been a clue as to the allusion that Carm is about to realize she has no one now. The place wasn't gutted, it was just "empty" from the mental side of things.

I thought I heard the score being in the 500's. It could be my hearing, but that's what I remember and I'm sticking with it!

He had 500 something in one section and 400 something in the other section. You had to add them together.

I thought it was a very good episode...for me it is hard to watch this stuff one week at a time.. seems like 1 hour isnt enough, I want to watch it like 3 eps at a time.

Do you people honestly believe some of us think this season (sofar) and last season of Sopranos have been crap because there are hardly any people getting killed? I keep reading people say "this show is not about whackings blah blah blah" I find that funny since there has been at least ONE KILLING in every episode sofar. How about the preview for next week? Another killing! This season has been dull because nothing interesting is happening. Its the same shit over and over. The show is getting too damn repetitive . There is only so much bitching you can listen to from Carmela and Tony before you're telling them to shut up already.

I'm certainly enjoying this season more than last and don't consider it repetitive at all. The Soprano family dynamic is continuing it's evolvement this season and it's fun to watch.

I liked last weeks ep better than this one. However this was still a solid episode and all in all much better than last season imo. I'm still laughing at Paulies "he jumped out of the tree and came at me with a chainsaw, I gotta protect myself" comment rofl. But honestly, I went back this week and started watching season one again too. I'm up to like 105 and damn! that was some real sopranos! So much better than anything last year and even this year really. Maybe it was just the fact of the kids realizing who their dad was? Meadow and Tony talking in college or the way A.J. looked at his dad in new light at the funeral of Jackie only to see his DAD smile and wink at him. Not a mob boss necessarily but just his dad to him...
I think Tony's being "naive" about A.J. is pretty spot on. He knows he's a teenage kid and is going to push the limits and be into trouble. He'll one day take his spot in the family business I'm sure.
At any rate I'll no doubt continue to watch with enthusiasm but I doubt we'll get to "see" a lot of the action on the NY side but rather "hear" about it.
And feech ain't no dummy. he's got to know that he was set up...
Hurry up and get here 4/4

As someone who didn't really care for a lot of Season 4, I think this year has been very good so far.
Even though "The Sopranos" is a great show, there have been some clunkers in every season. Remember the Massive G plot from S1, and Chris' foray into filmmaking from S2?
With Feech gone, does this mean the gardener gets his territory back?

I'm a little shocked at some of the people complaining about the show...this is the tone they've set for four years now - why would you expect differently?
