Was that the same girl who played Baccala's daughter last season? She looked differnt to me.

Janice was rooting through the garbage for her wedding ring. What's up with that? Did she marry the guy who's name I can neither pronounce nor spell (Uncle Junior's driver)?

Yes, Janice married Bobby Baccala. I find it odd that she lost the ring while making the roast. I bet one of people at dinner swallowed it or something. That would be gross.

Did anyone else notice that Silvo looked fat. It was when Tony leaves the meal and tells Sivlo about this "babe may be the one ." His belly seems to be pushing right out there.

I just love the ideas that Chase comes up with.The new cast members look like they will push the envelope.

Chris hitting that waiter with the brick was something else. Only leaving a fourteen dollar tip was the cheapest move I have ever seen. The poor Guy. I loved the way he came back at Chris and Paulie.

You saw his character briefly in the scene where Carmine Lupertazzi has the stroke. He was the guy sitting and having lunch with Carmine, Johnny Sack, and Tony after their golf game. I forget his name, but he was Carmine's consigliere before he went to prison.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I think a different actress is playing Bobby's daughter, Sophia Baccalieri.

As far as who's getting whacked next, I bet it's going to be one of the rats in the show. Besides Adriana, let's not forget about capo, Raymond Curto (George Loros).

Remember in Season 3 Episode, "Proshai, Livushka", when him and and the Fed are in the Office Depot parking lot and he asks them if he should wear a wire at "T's mom's funeral".

Anyway, it's this guy...

God I gotta get out more, lol.

i think AJ will be kidnapped by the russian

I caught it again on indemand, and just the fact that Christopher left a 14 dollar tip for a $1,200 meal was enough to get me laughing my ass off.

I know that with Chris' $14 tip ,it was considered cheap...but he's only following Steve Buscemi's example. After all Mr. Pink doesn't believe in tipping.
hehehehe

I didn't recognize, nor know that Joe Santos was in the first episode. I totally missed him. Use to watch the Rockford Files all the time tho.

I am curious to know when Frankie Valli will appear, and if he'll play himself??? Maybe he'll sing at Bada Bing's. :p


TIS

I'm assuming Frankie Valli will play himself. He will probably be singing at the Mohonk casino in Atlantic City, as a favor for Silvio (since Silvio/Tony owes a favor to cheif Doug Smith). Maybe I'm wrong...who knows!

Robert Loggia is the best thing to happen to The Sopranos in a while....

should be an excellent season.

Frankie Valli is playing "Rusty Millio, a rival mafioso out of prison and back on the scene"

OK so I was wrong.

I would have guessed the same thing Johnny Lips. Don't know that I've ever seen Valli act. I look forward to it whatever his role may be.


TIS

That's what I heard too; that he was playing New York mobster, Rusty Millio, and would appear in four episodes.

No one would've guessed that Al Martino would've acted either

I think I was the only person who thought the bear part of the storyline was kinda dumb. I mean, it provided for some moments, but I was expecting something a little less...I dunno.

But I still enjoyed it very much, too bad I can't have them all on DVD yet like the past seasons

Carm must realize that she most likely won't ever be able to have another relationship if she dumps Tony. She commented about Tony being "modern" enough to use a cell phone to call Naples looking for Furio." Did everyone get Tony's comment regarding Furio? "There are certain people who know if they see him he's a dead man." Surely any man who would enter her life would not have much of a future.

I'm a little late responding to this thread. Its been a busy week (I hate when work gets in the way). A couple of responses and observations.

FS: I also noticed Silvio's gut bulging with his jacket open. Does Bruce let Stevie play like that?

SC: I agree that the Paulie/Chris "kiss" is temporary. Note: Paulie called Chrisie....why? Who pulled the trigger on the waiter? Paulie. Maybe Paulie thinks he should chummy-up to Chris again in case there is any heat Paulie might need an ally or alibi.

PL: I too thought the episode was a little slow. But it had its moments. I think there was a lot a stage-setting for what's to come. Dr. Melfi "dumping" Tony. Carmine's stroke. Bobby and Janice. Feech wanting to get back in the action. The Paulie/Chrisie relation.

In addition to Silvio looking a little plump, I thought Tony put on a few pounds too. I thought the bear scene was a little silly.

I saw Bruce last October at Shea and had third row seats close to Steve. He spent most of the night tucking his gut into his spandex. He's a real Character.

Also somtimes during band intros Bruce will say "now we go from piano to soprano" or " Silvio Silvio, were art thou"

I just realized something, where was Artie Bucco. I wonder if John Ventimalia will be back this season.

In the clips I've seen, Artie is indeed there. He'll be around. Doing what, who knows?

Speaking of Artie Bucco, as I was driving through New York City earlier this week, John Ventimiglia (Artie) and Steve Schirripa (Bacala) were guest DJs on a New York classic rock station. They sounded like they were having fun being radio DJs for a day!

DJ,

Regarding the bear part..remember the clip that was posted a few weeks ago, showing Carmella running down the hallway and telling AJ to stay there. And her looking out the window suspiciously??? That was part of the bear sequence. I admit, I would have never guessed by those previews, it was a bear causing her fear. Previews never gave us that info,nor did that particular episode. All of a sudden Tony's pounding him. Blew me away!!! I love those kind of surprises!!

Oh, and don't forget Janice shooting her other boyfriend. (Damn, forgot his name already) Richie???
