Buftex Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I don't know. It seemed like a lot of time was wasted on David Chase just ranting about his feelings on political/religious matters. These rants seem awkward and forced and don't seem to move the story much at all. 650782[/snapback] 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. 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." 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.... 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. 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. 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. 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. 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...
Beerball Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 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. 651079[/snapback] Paulie's getting income that Tony doesn't know about and isn't getting a cut of. He may make Paulie pay the hospital bills, but money is money--T will take his cut and move happily along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Not really looking to rehash the show...I just wanted to hype the fact that they played Pink Floyd's "One Of These Days" over the closing credits. VERY COOL! 650550[/snapback] Absolutely!!!! The often play great music at the credits. I seem to remember them playing another Floyd song a while back. 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...
