Episode 43- "The Weight"

Well, we knew Johnny Sac wouldn't drop the joke about the mole. That was pretty obvious from last week but did anyone expect he would request a clip job? Paulie is doing his best to rip the family apart from the safety of his jail cell. Is he going to be locked up for the entire season? So who thinks Johnny and Ralphie are both going down this season? Johnny wasn't going to "stick his beak in" but it looks like he knows everything that's going down in Jersey!

What about all that sexual tension between Carm and Furio? Where is it going? They certainly can't keep that secret if they get together. Is Tony going to fulfill that need for feeling "loved" FINALLY? It seems he's trying. Roses, gifts, and he hasn't had a goomar on the side for a while now. He also seems to be trying to get along better with Meadow too. We actually saw them both smile in the same scene (at each other). The house warming party/ensemble was bogus. All the wives want Furio secretly. I hope somebody lets Bobbie's kid out of the garage! He doesn't need another death in the family.

The scenes with the Lou DiMaggio gang were hysterical! How is an old blind guy with half his crew on oxygen going to take down an underboss? It was like a trip back to the Ozarks somewhere near lil abner country! The expressions on the faces of Christopher and Silvio were priceless. I hope they knew the difference between left and right or Johnny's not on the hit list anymore.......

Is that rape scene on it's way back into the story? Dr. Melfi is talking about it again lately and seems to think her son has been affected negatively by it. Will she bring it up when Tony is there to hear it? Is her therapist going to tell Tony about it behind her back? Why was he following him in the parking garage?

The previews for this week looked once again like something "big" would happen, but it was closer to a roll in the sack and the dog jumps on the bed ruining the mood. All the buildup week after week is getting very frustrating! The acting and writing remains strong, but we really need some closure to the never ending list of dangling story lines.

I've noticed a definite decrease in the amount of music/episode. Too bad, it used to be so good and plentiful.
The timeline cannot be determined week after week. Last week was October, this week there was snow on the ground? Did we miss Thanksgiving? Christmas? Are they going back to episodes that are totally unrelated to keep from turning into a soap opera?
