Sopranos 4/16/06 "Live Free or Die"

Spoiler:

Tony debates giving a top earner a second chance; Tony looks abroad to settle a local dispute


Looking forward to the episode as always.

The antique salesman said something like, "You've got great taste. You picked out the most expensive piece in the store."

That was a great episode. It's shaping up to be a killer season.

What is going on with Angie. What was meant by putting money on the streets, is she competing with Tony?

Not competing, just making some cash for herself.

great stuff (but then again, the action fans will complain that there was no violence in the episode) Did anyone notice that Vito's wife was watching veronica mars (thanks to hd and the fact that at the very end of the credits that they mentioned it.)
Christopher had some great lines.

That line Tony said, about some mobsters being like drama-queen school-girls who just want to whack someone, I think was a shout-out to some of the fan-boy critics.

The mentioning of the Danish Mohammad cartoons surprised me, just because I thought they had written and shot these episodes much longer ago.

Does anyone else watch this show as a flat-out comedy, like I do?

Also, I never really found Jamie-Lynn to be that attractive, but for some reason, she's looking really hot this season.

My thoughts exactly.

Slop101, I also find this show significantly funnier than anything they try to pass off as a "sit-com" nowadays. As an added bonus you get great writing, characters, story and production value. Definately the best season since 3 and will likely surpass it the way it's going.

Did you notice when Tony was talking to his guys saying some people just want drama, killings etc. Brilliant writing by David Chase to send a message to the fair weather fans that expect that every week from the show.

Maybe it's a mid-life thing.

Suckin' cock?

This had to be the funniest Sopranos ep ever, and it was way funnier than any "comedy" on TV.

So is Carm going to start taking matters into her own hands?

Meadow also seems to be defending the mob a lot more this season.

While I found it a little too ironic that Vito somehow strolled into the gayest city in America, this is one of my favorite episodes ever. The entire scene in Dr. Melfi's office had me in tears.

Speaking of Dr. Melfi, she seems to be rather confident in herself lately. Her advice seems rather bold, like she's stirring the pot.

I'll add my to this episode. Tony had a hard time deciding what meant more about Vito: that he was an earner or a homosexual. The "free market" at work.

I don't think he strolled in there. It seemed like he almost made it to his destination when he ran over the tree branch. He was also trying to contact his cousin in the area.

Anybody else wondering where they're going with the one or two statements Tony made about homosexuality in his own experiences?

I think Vito's dead and in gay heaven. This place seems way too perfect for him to have found it by accident. Plus, the diet's out the window.

I agree though, great season so far.

I find myself really pulling for Vito to find happiness even when I know his time is running out.

I told a friend last week that now that Vito has been "Outed", Meadow and Finn will break up. I think he only got engaged to Meadow for protection from Vito.

I got no problem with Vito starting a new life in Podunk New Hampshire.

Like Tony said, he was a top earner who busted his butt (pun intended) to become a captain.
