Sopranos 6x16 - chasing it

evad_lhorg

Another episode where not too much happens.

Gamblor is present though.

I thought Vito Jr in the shower was hilarious, i mean i know attention seekers but WOW

Kazooie

It was a bit meh. Felt bad for AJ, he was just turning things around for himself.
Ya that shower scene was funny. Also Sil talking about it to Tony near the end, priceless. Hopefully it'll kick off next week.

I thought plenty happened, Tony is losing the plot and p!ssing off everyone.

Is it me or was the camera really shaky. All those tight close ups on their faces as well, it was like watching an episode of the the Wire.

Dont be at yourself

Another good episode. I must say it every week, but it'll be sad to see the end of this show.

The muslim guys pop up again - presumably they're gonna feature over the next few episodes, with the anti-terror FBI guys paying Tony a visit earlier in the season

Two things annoy me about this series, firstly Tony's heavy breathing and muffled voice, If you listen to how he talks now compared to the first season It is completely different. I know it can't be helped but it's really irritating.

Secondly the way It seems to cover a storyline in just a single episode. For example Tony's problem gambling is only seen in this episode, and never was an issue before. Another example is how Christopher suddenly found a new wife out of nowere. And the way one minute Tony's relationship with his crew is fine, then the next his thinking killing them (tony with Paulie in the boat) . I could think of other examples but I'm too tired. Basically it's annoying how big issues are just thrown up in one episode and were not even mentioned before.

I still think its deadly though

I actually think this is part of the plot. If you see Gandolfini in anything else, he's not like that.

if you look back at old episodes there is so much mentioned or even hinted about that its impossible to show everything in every little detail. Most of your examples have been touched upon before.

Possibly the weakest ep so far this part-season.
Where did T get the money from at the end? In fact the whole ending seemed a bit lame.
I gree with most all teh comments posted above, especially - Since we know so much about T's many problems how come we only now find out he is a "degenerate gambler"?
As posted above T is continuing to p1ss off all his potential allies.

It seems to me that T is usually potrayed in a sympathetic way despite being a murderer/scumbag etc but that in this ep and the last one he has been portrayed as an as5hole much more than usual.

What will AJ do now?

What's it all leading up to?

I really hope they leave the ending of this season open enough to allow for future one-off eps, mini-series or even movies.
I just cant face the future without my occasional doses of the Soranos:eek:

I actually thought they might cut to showing Hech looking in the bag and it been empty/full of paper/other etc, as those 2 assosiates of Tony said he could just not bother paying, and what could Hech do/say about it.

This still could be the case, as we never saw inside the bag...

Johnny Storm

If he stole that money from

Carmela then he's a dead man

Kazooie

Just watched the end again. After Tony gets off the phone to Marie sayin he'll pay for the camp, the next short scene (41:44) has him talkin to Carlo outside the pork store. He says "I appreciate it", and Carlo replies with something like "We all owe". Must have borrowed it from Carlo.

I would guess Carmella gave it to him, epically since he just told her how bad things had gotten.

So did tony kill the black one?

I don't think so. It would seem there would be no advantage to him in doing it, since he still paid back the money? But it did seem a bit odd.

He had an odd grin on his face. It was weird.

I think he's over the gambling, there's something up with the death of the black one, it'll be interesting to see what happens there, also I was a little pissed off to see him getting violent with the wife, I thought he had become a nice person

valor

this episode was possibly the worst i've ever seen

The Cowboy

And the bodycount continues to grow.
Roll on next week
