Totally agree with you i've not seen anything better before or since. I didn't watch it at all until series 5 cause I just thought it was going to weak but when I did watch it I loved it. I watched every single episode from the first season to the last ever episode and didn't find a single one of them shit.
There's 86 Sopranos episodes which means I spent 3.5 days of my existence on this earth watching The Sopranos and I don't regret a single second

Indeed. And he was 42 years old and still hadn't popped his cherry. About time Tony got him to whack someone, in my opinion.

But will he get caught for it?

Loved the bit where the law turned up at Tony's house. Carmela's line "is this it?" revealed everything about the edge on which she constantly lives.
Agree about Bobby. One way or the other he's deffo a dead man. Same with Christopher - Tony cut him off on the phone. An episode without Silvio really makes you realise how alone Tony is.
8 episodes left. Lot of tidying up to do.

Could be - get the feeling Tony's circle extends only as far as Silvio these days, and everyone else is expendable.

I saw something nasty in the woodshed!
And wasn't the scene when Bobby and Tony start fighting done well? The repetitious music in the background? The editing? The rising tension, only to dissipate slightly, and then to rise again? I KNEW that this was building up to something; I was totally aware that I was putty in the hands of the narrative master (sorry for sounding so wankish) and STILL I went: Woooooah!

That bit was brilliant. I'm sure that its in the mafia rules that causing Monopoly paraphernalia to become attached to the bosses face is just cause for a "whacking".
It's a macho world they live in, won't go down well Bobby beating him. Remember when Tony took out his anger on the tough looking minder he had and duffed him in - the fella just had to take it, even though he probably could have done Tone if he wanted to.

I have generally found the first episode of each series to be disappointing as they use it as a kind of summary to remind you of what's been happening and where everyone is now and they have been short on the great sopranos moments.
This one was different, the way the tension built up over the monopoly was really well done. Also the fact that this was Bobby's holiday home, it was his father's and his grandfather's before him, so even though Tony's the boss, Bobby couldn't tolerate Tony's disrespect in his own territory.
People dread Christmas holidays just because families have tantrums over monopoly, it's a much recognised but previously undocumented phenomena so to show it with the monopoly house stuck to Tony' face (surely based on someone's experience of a family fight) was sheer brilliance
This was the first time we've seen Bobby kill someone yes? Was that what Tony meant by "you haven't lost your cherry in that department have you?"
My thoughts were that Bobby had killed someone and was now thinking that he could kill Tony too, as after all, once you've killed once it's easier to do it again. Also if he doesn't do it, he's not really long for this world.
Then I wonder about Janice, she obviously really loves Bobby so if Tony does kill Bobby then who knows what Janice might be capable of?
Cracking first episode.

I'd welcome a pub drink with you anyday - you are clearly a person of clearly understood clarity.

He's in the frame (bobby that is) - ripped shirt from the murdered etc. He's going to court. Bad for the family. Has to feature in a final death scene with Tony S.

And the pies were all old
And the chips were all cold

I thought that the therapy session was absolutely brilliant
Dr Melfi: Without wanting to invalidate your feelings, I wonder if I might suggest that you might be reading too much into this
Tony: I've been coming here for years now and the fact is that I know too much about that thing you call the unconscious
(neither verbatim, just something like)
The fact that his increasing knowledge about unconscious communication leads him to interpret Christopher's murderous feelings towards him by analysing the discourse in the film
Just awesome
Some real next level tish
I always hate it when each episode ends
I'm so going to miss the Sopranos

thanks for the info about the song, I tried to catch it in the credits but it was only up for a second.

Looks like Christopher maybe fucked - Carmella should know better than putting that idea in his head.
I like the fact that all the women in the show are on the surface the nice compassionate ones (aside from Janice of course), but you scratch the surface and they are as nasty as the men.
i think we are gonna see this come out in Meadow this series.
