Completely agree. And this is the best season for AJ ever. And Tony's experience in the last quarter of the episode particularly resonated with me. Chase absolutely understands the power of transcending a genre. This is very very good stuff.
>KG and Juan, surely you can't complain about this one. It was a classic Sopranos episode, right up there with "Funhouse" and "Pine Barrens" IMO. I knew it was going to be great from the opening credits, when David Chase was listed as a co-writer. He vets every word that goes on the air in every episode but he usually doesn't attach his name to the script. This one was pure Chase.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
