Leadbelly Blues

(SOPRANO -MINOR SPOILER ALERT)

(I posted a version of this on another message board earlier today but since it looks like Al Gore is getting popular again, I thought I'd show my commitment to recycling.)

Only one more to go


Some thoughts on last night's show:-

• 4 deaths and one coma- slightly over-average body count
  
• Phil when making his decision to off the NJ family goes on about the improper ceremonies that they have over in Essex County- he sounded a little like a wacko Taliban terrorist discussing theology
• Something happened to Phil in prison that made him really hate Vito (that tissue speech a few weeks back was a giveaway)
  
• "You don't need a gynecologist to know which way the wind blows"-ultimately one of the most misogynistic statements whether Tony realizes it or not
• Melfi gave up on Tony due to peer pressure (partially) - in some ways she's no different from the tough guys
• AJ can even screw up grief
• Although understandable given the circumstances, the focus on Patsy Parisi's flight made him look like a total coward. Meadow (if she isn't offed or abused by Phil) will dump Patrick.
• Homage to Zip Connolly* in the FBI scene- they know Tony is going to be hit but don't stop it but do tell Tony so he can kill some people too. Don't think its the FBI's plan to kill as many mobsters as possible (and innocent "Ukes") but possibly intramural rivalry between NY and Newark office.
• Big dream sequence coming next week with all of the dead.
• There was some weird statue in the background in Junior's (or whosever house) living room when the boys all decided to stay- was it a saint or some otherwordly emanation? (somebody said its a cardboard cutout of Sil- maybe something to draw fire at the window?)
  
• Will the Bing Dancers wear black pasties next week?
• Accidental Ukrainian crime victims?- Is this a hook for the Russian to emerge from the Pine Barrens?
  

* Former FBI Agent who handled Whitey Bulger in Boston. Currently serving time for murder.
Was alleged to have tipped off Whitey as to people that were ratting /threatening him which people Whitey is alleged to have offed
