I think this show would do better if it didn't try to fit 55 minutes of information into every single episode of the show. I find myself loving about 35 minutes of the drama in this show, but the other 20 minutes is just random filler stuff that I dont care about. Like Junior and his new girlfriend type thing that has been coming over to see him. That doesnt omve the plot forward and how is anyone that watches the show supposed to connect with Junior enough to want to watch him in any scene without another major character in it. The scenes with him in it were my major grips with the episode. The parts with Tony were well done, like usual. Its funny to see his progessiveness since Season 1 - where he wasnt really much of anyone and now here he is the new boss of everything. It was interesting to see him try to stay away from the mob releated business in this episode. The final two episodes of the seres are bound to answer a couple of the questions that have been on everyones mind all season. Richie? BP and the cops? Where is this all heading, it needs to start now is all I know.moreless

With all the trouble Tony is into past and present, I am not surprised when his lawyer tells him to start playing the normal civilian for awhile. The look on his face is what most of us have to endure day in and out with our lives. I can only imagine the sheer boredom Tony faced when switch from the exciting life of sitting at the Bada Bing club to a desk job. The depression and the anxiety can take a toll on anyone. I like the way he relieves his boredom by sleeping with the secretary on his office desk. The storyline between Richie and Tony is starting to heat up. The more defiant he gets the more interesting the show becomes.moreless
