My boyfriend's theory, which I am increasingly inclined to agree with, is that Tony et al are going to be brought down through affiliation with terrorist groups. That the guys buying the credit card numbers at the Bing are going to get popped for terrorist activities, and that that will unravel things.

I seem to be in a huge minority, but I like the "things fall apart" theme they've got going this season (and last). When you have all these borderline sociopaths, doused in macho swagger, armed, and yet forced to remain in an insularar hirearchy. Especially when you consider that everyone's freedom and success requires the compliance of everyone else.

I think they are just showing how this life has effected all the different characters. Starting with Gene wanting to get out and killing himself because he can't, and now showing how the life has ruined Tony's son. With Vito, he's getting what being in the mob prevented him from having (don't think it'll last of course). Also, Johnny Sac's mob involvement ruined his daughter's wedding.

It used to be all about the money they'd make, the chicks they'd do, the stuff they'd buy and get away with. Now it's all coming back to them.

I'm not sure where they are going either and it definitely is hard and frustrating. Especially considering that there are, what, three? four? episodes left in this season - and then only 8 in the final season. Grrrr.

There is also a blog post for this most-recent episode.

So here's how the episode went at our house tonight, while watching through OnDemand....I had to piss, so I pause it, and what's on screen - the rabbit just as it gets shot, and its pulsating in midair....yuck.

The theme of this episode seemed to be "everybody fucks up." I really got kind of tired of watching the train wreck of this epi, I just wanted it to be over...though I did like tony's small attempts at peacemaking...part of him still wants to be in that place of gratitude for his life.

i've never liked artie. sarcastic snarky fuck. i don't get why tony always cuts him so much slack, i don't care how far back they go. i hope this was a set-up for the Whacking of Artie.

i knew christofa was using again, even before last night. he seemed so out of it the past few episodes.

loved when tony said, "how long are you gonna play the adriana card?"

kudos to sir ben and betty bacall. they were freakin hilarious! that betty has some mouth on her, ay?

little carmine deserves an emmy. "you know he's a little retarded?" hee.

i'm ready for AJ to get in trouble. very ready.

i closed my eyes as soon as i saw the bunny in the garden. but then again, i usually close my eyes when i know violence commeth. i also turn down the volume when someone's getting beat up. the show's always been brutal.

but yeah. poor bunny.

I was SO fucking disturbed when Arty killed the rabbit. I want to write the show and complain about how unncessary and disgusting that was. I can deal with the violence towards humans, but when a little bunny gets shot, enough's enough! I hope Arty goes down. He deserves it for killing an innocent creature and cooking it!
I loved the Ben Kingsley scenes, especially when he said "It's SIR Ben..."

And I am so ready for AJ to bite the big one! That kid is a terrible actor and they need to get him and his mullet off the show as quickly as possible so he can go back to smoking pot and stealing with his loser friends.

BUMPING

any thoughts on last night?

I couldn't believe Arty. He's really flipped out.

Christopher was hilarious. Did you catch the line where someone says something about CSI and he goes, "Oh yeah, CSI SUV" instead SVU.

I think it's so weird that last week's episode was all about Vito, now this week is all about Arty and Charmane. Looks like next week is all about AJ.
