I like the ads for John from Cincinnati. The premise doesn't grab me the way Deadwood did, but I am intrigued.
Of all the upsetting things happening on the Sopranos, it's the sound of duck calls while the guy dumps the asbestos that is haunting me.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

I just caught up from ep 3 through last week's Sopranos. And damn, I don't know what when down last night, but last week's Sopranos was about the most tightly constructed episode I can recall.

I watched last week's and last night's one after the other, so let me take a moment to separate the two in my head.
Right. Yes. That was sharp and compelling. And the end completely took me by surprise but seemed almost inevitable once it had happened.

That was some dark shit. Did anybody else expect Homer's coyote spirit guide with the voice of Johnny Cash to appear for Tony?
I'm trying to think of the Maximum Pain Exit Strategy at this point. Maybe Meadow dying in Tony's arms on the opera house steps while the camera cranes back. Tony throwing a knife through Carm's throat? Antony ambushed at a toll plaza? Piano wire around Paulie's throat from behind in the car?

Tony gets nibbled to death by ducks. Poetic closure that would be.

Totally.

Caught up on the Sopranos. Whoa.

And you gotta figure that's just a prelude to the end. That it's ramping up rather than that's the whole emotional payoff.
But man, that was a dead shark eye look in Tony's face when he did the nose pinch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm three eps behind and it's driving me maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. (I'm completely spoiled, of course, but still!)

It just occurred to me yesterday what a great PSA for wearing your seatbelt you could make from that episode.
AJ's arc has gotten really interesting, too. He was so comfortable and at home with the acid on the gambling debt kid, no remorse. Then he joined in on the Somali bike guy beatdown but broke down later. I think this might be the first time I've wanted to know what was going on in his head.
