HopsGuy Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Did you know that there were dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden? I didn't. That show is so informative.

The Poojer Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 i loved the rapper getting shot in arse instead of the "fleshy part of the thigh", and Pauly whacking that guy and asking for $4G's a month, seemingly for his "mother", Tony is gonna destroy Pauly for that one. Not the best show, but a good one, leading to a crescendo of shows in coming weeks I am sure!  Did you know that there were dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden? I didn't. That show is so informative. Speaking of music, how about Tony turning on the radio while speaking to Phil, and the song was "Funeral for a Friend."? Good stuff. 650636[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW: non-Floydians may not know but the lyrics are "One of these days I'm going to chop you into little pieces." Apropos for the show. Those were the only lyrics that drummer Nick Mason ever sang in a Floyd song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the interactions between the Jersey and NY families is pretty interesting. NY is bigger and stronger, yet Tony's nuts are bigger than just about anyone else's. Should be pretty damn fun to see how it all plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind Tony is Silvio and as you recall there was talk of Vito may be next in line. Not to mention T has made mention if he were to name a successor he might name Christopher. Paulie in terms of experience might but up there but is lower on the list in terms of pecking order. Infact as referred to he almost jumped states last year. I think with Sacks in jail maybe he can work out a deal that prevent him fall to soldier status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way he can become a capo is his capo either died, in prison or disappeared. Since Chrissy is now a Capo and Paulie is still alive, Paulie was bumped up. Since Sylvio is the consigliere, the only possible position for a Capo is either Underboss or the Don. Â About New York, maybe but highly unlikely. Noone really likes Paulie and he's more of an enforcer than a businessman. Another thing is Phil doesn't like Paulie either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since this final season seems to be focusing on the feud between NJ and NY is the only reason I bring it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason being that Paulie is like I said before, high up in the family. A lot of people see Paulie going over Tony's head as a way to piss off Tony, but what he did is not enough to warrant an execution. I dont' know if you remember season 4 when Sylvio ordered Patsy Parisi to steal the tiles from the esplanade even though Tony strictly forbid it. He did it because he wanted to see what his place was in the family, meaning that even as a consigliere, he gets to make his own choices. Â Even if Barone would tell Tony about what Paulie did, the most that could happen is Tony makes Paulie cancel the tribute or pay for the kids knee operation. Â Anyways it is a show and anything could happen but i don't think Chase would go far from mafia tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These rants seem awkward and forced and don't seem to move the story much at all. 650782[/snapback] Â Â I think they were trying to show that Tony has somehow changed, and is aware now, after his brush with death, that he only a "part of something much bigger." I think that is part of the story... and has been since the very first episode. Â Tony, in his own unsophisticated way, has always been searching for something, likely a way to rationalize, and come to terms with the way he has led his life. He wants to be a decent person, but he is so far immersed in his life of crime, there is no turning back...the born again preacher says something like "salvation is not just cleansing your soul, to prepare for death, it is how you live your life." Â I thought the "rants" were handled well, with a lot of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I thought it was a great episode again.... Â Tony -- Something is amiss, he is not the same man. I don't think he's going the 'found Jesus' route, but this experience may have taken his edge away, which will be dangerous for him. After caving on the carting business sale, it isn't going to take Johnny Sack and Phil long to realize that Tony isn't the same bulldog he used to be and they will take advantage. Â Chrissie -- he is the smartest of the gang and the only one thus far that has noticed there is something wrong with Tony. If anyone is going to emerge as a stronger #2 and/or challenge for the throne, it will be him. Â Carm -- I look for her to step up and protect Tony as boss by getting more involved in the business. A few hints on this already; especially her comment about not believing Vito and Paulie on the amount of their Columbian score. She knows this is the best way to protect her family. Â Sil -- still sucking that inhaler after choking big time as acting boss. We'll see how this impacts him, but it won't be favorable. Â Paulie -- WTF, he is officially off his rocker. I don't see him defecting to New York (remember how Johnny Sack used him for info and old Carmine didn't even know who he was at the wedding). I see him running rampant for a while. My prediction here is that he is eventually whacked by................his old padawan: Chrissie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Mason's vocals was appropriate.  And what about Chrissy's take on the Reverand's literal take that Dinosaurs and people were on the earth at the same time. He theorized that this was not possible because that would mean Dino's were on the Earth with Adam and Eve and T-Rex's would have ate Adam and Eve. I laughed so F-ing hard when he said that.

BUFFALOTONE Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think that Paulie or Vito maybe both will get wacked for shorting Tony on the score and Carmella bringing it to Tonys attention. There is going to have to be some questions answered and Vito and Paulie will end up ratting out to tony about the other or tony doing away with both of them. In light of all this I believe something natural will happen to Sil like a car accident or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
