the Sopranos -- "the Ride" -- 05.07.2006
"the Ride"
Christopher makes a surprise announcement; Paulie pays a price for cutting costs at an Italian Street Fair; Tony embraces the "old school."
Hard to believe we're more than 2/3 of the way in. It went by so fast..

I haven't watched the last two episodes. Am I going to be lost if I watch tonights episode? I predict that like most of the shows nothing has happenned except introduce new sub plots with no conclusions. I am a big fan but have gotten turned off with last season and so far episodes of this season.

I loved the flashback to Chris telling Tony about Adrianna. It's something I never thought we would see, and wondered how it went down (I didn't think Chris would have as much trouble with it as he did). The rest I didn't really care for. Bobby's acting might be worse than AJ's.

Nice to finally see the scene of Chris telling Tony about Adrianna and the feds; I'm pretty sure that was shot about two years ago as part of season five but didn't get used for pacing reasons. Aside from that, I didn't really care for tonight's ep., it just seemed too overdone in the emotional area. I hope Paulie gets whacked, he's becoming a burden to everyone.

Weird episode tonight - but enjoyed it. I liked the change of pace and the ending with Paulie and his mom was satisfying. I hope that Tony and Christopher keep up with the 'old school' hijinks -- they've been missing the fun involved in that.

I thought this ep sucked. The last 3 have gotten progressively worse.
I keep waiting for something to happen that looks like it may set up the series finale but nothing yet.

Long Island, not Rhode Island, IIRC.
