Despite the fact that Meadows boyfriend was terrified of what might happen after he was forced to tell the lads what he saw Vito doing with the security guard in the last season, neither Carmela nor Meadow seemed to make the connection between Finn telling his story and Vito being found beaten to death a few weeks later

It was more than a few weeks. Also I think Carmela and Meadow don't talk about missing 'friends' of Tony's. The only reason thats she's interested in Adrianna is because she was close to her and she was in the mob, unlike Pussy and Vito etc.

On the whole I was more disappointed about the main plot not moving along than the bringing in the gambling in one episode and presumably then dropping it.
The whole theme of this series appear to be paranoia. Tony now totally paranoid about everyone but Sil (and him prob only because he couldn't handle being boss in T's absence last year). Hesch was also paranoid in this episode as was Paulie in the last one.

how many more episodes left?

Tony's gambling,seemed too rushed to me in one episode to have so much gambling with so much fall out.

This didn't work for me either. It just seemed so out of line with Tony's track record as a strong role model keeping the others under his thumb.

re the murder, I think there was only one episode where Tony was forced to half admit to Carmela that someone had "left the family" or some similiar language, possibly when Richie Aprile was killed.

The standard euphemism was 'gone into the programme' (i.e. witness protection programme). This was used to explain the dissappearances of Pussy, Adrienne and Richie.

My favourite line from this season so far has got to be Jeannie Sacks whinging about her dying husband's failure to stay of the fags when they had agreed that he'd stay off the fags if she kept up her Weight Watchers. As she wobbled through the hospital corridor, she complaints that 'I lost 18 lbs, but could he stay off the cigarettes? No'.

what a strange episode....this final series is moving to quickly for my liking:(

BTW what did tony shout out at the end???

sounded like " I did it" ?? Not too sure what it was all about meself.

Wow - I didn't see that one coming. I loved the subtle lines, like Tony telling his cronies that he'd have strangled Chrissie himself if he had known he was high. Little do they know....

Really good, really strange episode.

A kind of anti-climactic way for Chrissie to go. No whacking, no ratting out to Feds, just badly injured in a car crash and Tony on hand to finish him off.

Just before T fell down laughing at the casino did he say 'He's dead' ?

As for Paulies mother dying, maybe it's because Paulie always felt usurped or repalced in Tony's affections by Chris and this was kinda like the final fcuk you to Paulie.

Also strange that Tonys dream about talking to Melfi was almost exactly replicated in real life. Some truth from Tony is rare even with Melfi.

I thought the opening episode when Tony had the fight with a much leaner, assertive Bobby was really good and would lead somewhere .

Thought it was a bit weak and time wasting considering it had little to do with the finale plot, but anyway.

Decent last night, well, the first 40 minutes anyway. Is it just me or when they take them out of Jersey do they have a bad episode about half the time? Like that rubbish dream episode Tony had after he was shot. The Vegas thing was largely time wasting if you ask me, which isnt really what you want when there are so few episodes left. I think Chris could have went out in a more dramatic, plot driven fashion. And how come he seemed fine during the meeting with Phil (and, presumably, because he wouldnt want Tony knowing, he hadnt used drugs for a few hours previously) and yet hours later, after the effects would be all but gone, he starts acting weird and crashes the car?

Apart from that, I dont think Tony would have got away with this one. Two normal people in an accident, one dies, yeah, it happens. But ive a feeling that if Tonys drug addicted unstable cousin/nephew/whatever died beside him the feds would post mortem him to bits to find anything. And apart from that, Chris would have been taken in nearly immediately for his reckless hit on the film writer in his flat (seeing as the guys girlfriend knows Chris and what he does, as well as forensics)

btw it was hard to hear but when Chris was injured he either told Tony to leave without him or call a taxi, saying he wouldnt pass a drug test. Which did he say, and why was he worried re a test bar losing his licence? Hes not on probation/parole afaik (i think he got the incident where he shot the guy who tried to kill him brought down to a minor gun charge years back, related to this?)

How did Christopher die? the usual way?
As someone not realising The Sopranos were on phoned me before the start, Aaaaaaarrrrggh!!

BTW: how many eps are left?
