Tony B. and Christopher unearth some old memories during an otherwise idyllic trip to the country. Tony and Carmela plan another party; Janice lands in anger-management therapy after a sports-rage incident; Benny and Terry solve a missing-Vespa mystery; and Tony puts his sister's newfound serenity to the test.

Going by this description and the stuff we saw in the previews, I am guessing that the killing of Ralph Cifaretto is going to come back to haunt Tony and Christopher.

In the previews, might that have been Mikey Palmice's dad they were talking to? Remember, it was on Old Man Palmice's farm that they buried Ralph's head and hands. Maybe it's been discovered.

Things must be slow around town
Isn't it alittle early for this?

Not many left. It seems like we just get started and it is almost over. What is it 13 weeks?

Yea it's early FS, but I love the conversation.

Interesting! Tony & Chris unearth old memories.....could "Cold Cuts" be Ralphie (or part of Ralphie??)

I'm sure the party Carm and Tony are planning is Meadow's engagement party. At least I think so.

Also, Janice's sports rage incident would explain the previews in which Tony was mad for getting his name in the paper. Gee, I guess I don't have to see it, since I already know.

But missing Vespa mystery??? Don't know what that's about.

TIS

Yeah, I know it's a little early, but I am psyched for this next episode! I think it's going to be one of the great ones.

Looks like I'm not alone when I think that this means the circumstances of Ralphie's murder are discovered.

Rumor has it that Janice is at a soccer game with her kids and gets arrested with the headlines being "Mafia Don's sister arrested"

Speaking of Janice.....what does she and Vito have in common?

They both did Ralphie.

I think you're right, FS. The coming attractions show Tony yelling at Janice for bringing his name into the public's attention (ie. newspaper headlines).

How bout Richie Aprile, Chris did slice him up at the pork store "Cold cuts"?

Hmm, that's true, Chris and Furio DID chop Richie's body up at Satriale's.

But I don't think Richie's death matters to anyone now. Heck, people were happy to see him go. Ralphie was such a terrific earner, EVERYONE misses him (financially, if not personally).

Discovery of the true nature of Ralphie's disappearance will definitely have repercussions in the upper echelons of the mob. Discovery of the truth about Richie's disappearance wouldn't.

Possibly DMF,

Watch, the only cold cuts referred to will be their decision to have "cold cuts" at Meadow's engagement party!


TIS

who's laughing- You hit it right on the head TIS.

Tony's going to bitch and you can almost heard that line now!

worst episode ever! it had some interesting confrontations but not enough intrigue to maintain interest imo. still better than all the junk on the tube, but then again there's soo much junk...

very boring episode.

A decent episode.

The name of the week's offering was superb. Its clearly a reference to Don Vito Corleone's often heard line, "Revenge is a dish best served cold" (which Tony characteristically screwed up).

Tony showed a definite mean streak tonight; first, trying to get Chris to drink, and then egging Janice on about Harpo. His other "side" (remorse) was shown when he offered to pay for The Bing's bartender's hospital bill.

Yes, solid episode.

Sorry to all those people who want violence and sex every week, it's just not going to happen..

slow, it seems like they would be filling the shows up with more stuff as time is running out.

Vito at the Bing?

Maybe he was checking out the bartender.

I liked the episode. Especially when Both Tonys were ganging up on Chris like the old days. Once they get together, I guess they just can't help themselves. Chris will get his vengeance somehow.

Or taking care of the guys in the mens room.

Tonys anger is something else. Getting worst as his troubles build up.

What he did about Harpo was to make sure Janice didn't get better, after he knows how bad his own anger management is....

Good episode. Loved Janice's fight! Thought Chris and Tony B might end up getting along, but after all the joking, doesn't seem so.

The poor bartender at the Bing, such a big guy always getting smacked around.

I think Tony is jealous that Janice is getting help and was mean deliberately trying to get her going. Makes me wonder if he isn't gonna reach a breaking point of some kind.

I know those two bodies that Chris & Tony B. dug up by the fence were someone the old uncle had killed, but not so certain who the other body was. Can someone clarify?? Also how awful that they were smashing the "remains".

I may be of a minority, but I thought it was a good episode.

TIS

The other body? The Checkoslovakia? Isn't he the guy in one of the early seasons Chris killed in the back of the butcher shop? The one Chris called a Pollack.

That was the skeleton of Emil Kolar, the first ever murder victim we've seen on "The Sopranos"! Chris killed him in Satriale's in the first episode of the first season.
Awesome!

Yeah... Email...

That could have been another "cold cuts" reference since Christopher killed Emil at Satriale's and kept having those nightmares about him.

Nick

This episode was terrible. Last weeks was better with Finn. Going by the previews next weeks looks great since it is the beginning of the last three episodes to air until season 6. We see Phil Leotardo shooting somebody with a silenced weapon, we hear a gunshot and a woman scream. My odds are that Tony B will not be around for season 6. Johnny Sac will have him killed because he knows it was he who pulled the trigger on Joey Peeps. As for this episode boy was fooled. I figured they were digging Ralphie up and not the guy that Chris killed. Tony beats the crap out of George at the Bing once again and as a result the guy is deaf in one ear permenently. This is another case of Tony's anger. he should have listened to Janice about Anger Management.

Interesting that most think this episode was either "good" or terrible"!


TIS

Surprised by Johnny Sac bluntly telling Tony S that he thinks he is full of shit regarding Tony B and the hit on Peeps. That will be the build up for the final this season.

The anger management group was classic with Janice and the group. LMAO w/ the bald guy at the end of that scene.

What was the deal w/ that slow mo camara work at the end of the scene w/ Carm & the school guy. Can't recall anthing like that being done before.

Enjoy these last three episodes. I read in Sundays paper that season six won't start to shoot until spring 2005 and Chase talks about taking his time possibly a two year wait between seasons. The loose ends will not begin to be tied upp until the earliest spring 2006

Good episode!

Are you kidding me??? That's awful. I don't understand how or why it should take so long between seasons. They only have 13 episodes per season. I thought it was a long wait before...2006 is sooooo far off.


TIS

Unfortunatly No. In the New York Daily News TV guide yesterday there is a small article on Vincent Curantola who plays Johnny Sack

The last few lines:

Curantola

"but we won't begin production on our last season of 'The Sopranos' until spring 05- So we'll be two years off the air. David Chase wants to take his time to write the final ending to the saga. My sympathy goes out to the audience."

Tony has definitely become a more and more reprehensible character as the seasons pass. This episode really put Tony's worst qualities in the spotlight.

Ya know who should be first in line to kill Tony? Georgie, that poor bartender at the Bing. He's been Tony's personal punching bag for years now. What was that, the sixth vicious beating Tony has given Georgie for no reason at all? And Georgie, while not the brightest bulb, is one of the nicer guys on the show!

It's like Tony is beating and kicking a dog for being too loyal and nice!

You said it TIS. That is a joke having to wait for two years to see the ending. Probably another boring ten episodes.
