Yup. He was blowin' harp in Nancy's band...

We replayed the episode at high speed to find him, and that was the only
thing I could see that made sense, not sure that was a credited
part........

terrible episode last night...Tony's gambling problem..is this all
there is for the final season?

I agree completely, it was all over the place. Carmella, who has been
absent almost completely since her great run 2 seasons ago, all of a
sudden is back and acting in weird ways that lack common sense. Her
eruption really made little sense to me.

You're wrong,. It DID make sense to you...

Seriously, I do see some sense to it. Think back to the last episode of a
either season 5 or season 6.1 - she and Tony have just reconsiled after a
year of fighting and hating each other, and they have done so especially
because Carmella wanted her "spec house". More importantly, she wanted
a) financial security separate from Tony's income (which could be taken away
under RICO, which could stop from a bullet, etc.)
b) the opulent (though tacky) lifestyle that came from Tony

She wanted that, and she sold herself to the devil (getting back together
with Tony) to get it. You could see that conflict and slef-loathung as she
stood in the empty lot in that last episode of which ever season it was.

Now, Tony was threatening to take away her side of the bargain. She gave up
her soul, her dignity, her autonomy, to get that spec house and the nest egg
it gave her, and Tony is threatening to take it away. It's bad enough that
she sold herself, but to get nothing for it? She could not live with that -
so she fought back.


The whole AJ storyline has been really stupid sense the bike incident.
Makes no sense. The character seem to be acting, well....out of character.

obviously the weakest charcter in the show. Silvio is weak, Steve can't
act - but he provides some comic relief. AJ is just useless as a character.

Why did she leave him? Is it because she doesn't want to go down the Soprano
path (crime, death, etc.), and the proposal brought those feelings to a
head? Or is it because she wants MORE, and AJ telling her that in 2 or 3
years he'll be the day manager of a pizza parlor was not the lifestyle she
had in mind as the result of a marriage to a Soprano?

There was no explanation or logic behind almost every action taken last
night. Really a weak episode. The gambling scenes were poorly done and so
over the top and in your face that they completely lacked the subtlety that
usually makes the show excellent.

agrees. It was very much a "let's throw some stuff together and creat an
issue" production.

And Vito's kid - that was (so far) a waste of celluloid. The only
plot-related development is that is shows that Phil Leotardo (who was
outraged at what Vito "did" to his family) actually cares little about
family, and more about the fact that Vito was gay.



Bizarrely bad episode.
