Re: SOPRANOS

I thought that the episode was great, I think it is very funny that Carmella went to Tony's psychiatrist and she was also one of his side girls (I would think that would be a conflict of interest) and I wonder how Tony is going to feel about it when he finds out. I think Tony is also going to have to clean some house (kill some people) in order to get the family back together again.

Re: SOPRANOS

I thought it was great one as well but n the beginning I was like oh no---not another dream sequence.

As usual the hour flew by and we were left going damn!

Re: SOPRANOS

loved the episode!

Re: SOPRANOS

kudos to the makeup for this episode
tony look REALLY sick
& Carmellia looked REALLY tired

Re: SOPRANOS

How about when Tony was on the phone getting directions "to the beacon"... DH called it right there, they were calling him "home". But one question, was "home" heaven or hell?

I can't believe that we finally see everyone's true colors though... You would think that Paulie would be loyal, and be a true friend, but I guess when it comes to illegal activity (criminals), you never know what to expect.

I really hope they don't kill off Silvio... he's the truest character on that show!

Oh, and though Junior wasn't on yesterday's ep, I STILL think that he's faking that mental crap, and really tried to kill Tony.

Re: SOPRANOS

Just wanted to add... LOVED the episode!

I think the beacon was supposed to be Heaven - which would be odd because Tony has committed mortal sins - but I still feel that Tony has a good heart deep down.

What would be Junior's motive for killing Tony, though?

I don't want Silvio to die either..did you see his Barbie doll wife? With her high heeled fuzzy pink slippers!!

I thought it was GREAT, I loved it!!

Re: SOPRANOS

At least he is no longer kept in infinity (Kevin Finnerty)...

Re: SOPRANOS

Can someone tell me what secret meadow's boyfriend is keeping? I missed an episode or two and now I'm left wondering what it is.

Can anyone fill me in? Please?

Re: SOPRANOS

I know that he is the one who caught Vito getting "friendly" with another guy! if that is the secret you mean?

Re: SOPRANOS

He saw Vito going down on another guy in a parking lot.

That's why it was funny that Vito was making remarks about the guy that shot himself being a closet homosexual.

Re: SOPRANOS

My SIL just sent me this on the symbolism:

It wasn't so much a 'dream' sequence - it was more Tony in purgatory.

Tony is in purgatory.

He was literally in the “Hotel California”
He was without an identity and unable to leave.
The hotel he can check into was the “Omni”…meaning ALL.
While he is stuck in that hotel, on one end of town is a shining beacon (Heaven), on the other, a raging forest fire (Hell).

Now let’s dig WAAAY deeper into symbolism:
He is also apparently in the military contractor business, so it can be argued that he’s still involved with death and murder. Also, he is still capable of cheating on his wife. I think the writers are showing the point that in the end, sin is sin, and once you get to the end it doesn’t matter if you make your decisions in a boardroom or the back of a stripclub. I guess it’s some social commentary.

In Dante Inferno, it is said there are 7 layers or circles of Hell that Dante traveled through to get to paradise.

Tony was placed on the 7th floor(or circle)… the circle for those who are violent

He’s sinking further and further into the depths. Trying to get back by taking the stairs and leaving the 7th floor (circle, soul)

He fell down the stairs between the 5th and 4th floor. The 5th circle is wrath and 4th is greed

Also, if you recall the first episode opened with William Burroughs spoken word recording “Seven Souls”

From the Seven Souls…Number five is Ka, the Double, most closely associated with the subject.

The 1st circle is limbo and from there he can escape, when he stop acepting his fate and fights back and finds his breifcase.

His double who took his breifcase, or as Tony out it “My whole LIFE is in there”
That guy’s name was Kevin Finnerty, to which the man at the bar jokes “Kev-Infinity”

By the way Kevin Finnerty is a heating salesman from the hottest state, Arizona. No need to go further there. Arizona is also on the Driver’s License as AZ or a-z, the beginning to the end.

Dante’s divine comedy is divided into three parts, corresponding with Dante’s three journeys: Inferno, or “Hell”; Purgatorio, or “Purgatory”; and Paradiso, or “Paradise.”

Consider that Tony is now in the second of the three journeys — his life on earth has been Dante’s hell and all it is comprised of (the seven circles of hell: Circle One, Those in limbo; Circle Two - The lustful; Circle Three, The gluttonous; Circle Four - The hoarders;
Circle Five - The wrathful; Circle Six - The heretics
Circle Seven - The violent), he is now in purgatory, and is making his final journey to Paradiso.

On Easter Sunday, Dante emerges from Hell. Through his travels, he has found his way to God and is able, once more, to look upon the stars.
Perhaps this is Tony’s path.

Re: SOPRANOS

WOW! Great episode....Paulie really cracks me up.

I gotta say the guy who lost all the weight is really annoying the hell out of me....plus wonder if Meadows man will ever spill the secret he knows
