Joe,
The opening was quite clever, giving away tiny little hints about the future.
The Episode set up many possible endings to the show (which is what it was designed to do), which is why it felt disjointed.
Finn is going to be a problem, especially when he becomes a member of the familia and has to deal with the gay Capo.
Two dead rats in one episode creates all kinds of opportunities for someone else to become a rat.
Ms. "I want to move to Florida" might become a problem.
J. Sack has not vanished yet into the prison system. His wife is gonna become a problem for Carmela.
Hesh is not going to be happy with the deal made about his son in-law.
A.J. is a fucking loser and will do something stupid bringing heat on everyone.
Tony's little talk about "family" being there and not your "friends" was interesting.
Loved the "Paths of Glory" scene at the end.
How fucking stupid did Bobbie look with that train hat?
Tosh
"I think this place is restricted Wang, so don't tell em you're Jewish"

A bit clunky in parts. Tho thats not terribly unusual for the show.
Wonderful beginning. What was that song (not the title song) in the opening collage?
Didn't see the shooting at the end coming. Damn near dropped my second margarita.
Nice to see a character wounded in the stomach act like a person wounded in the stomach.
Jenny Sach looks like an F'ing whale.
Loved the bitching at Artie's. I didn't catch the dialogue completely, did one of em say, this bread must be from the bread museum?
Tony on the scales was LOL.
The much hyped following show, Big Love, needs an injection of life. If it turns out its main storyline is one wife bitching about, or at, the other wife, fuggedaboutit.

  opening song was WILLIAM s. BURROUGHS spoken word piece.
  - THat must be the Material track... - dave c 23:36:39 03/14/06 (1)
    ... recorded with Burroughs.
    I haven't seen theepisode but there are several versions of the track in circulation. One is on an album called Seven Souls and is a great CD if you liked the one track.
    There is also The Road To The Western Lands, basically a remix album by various people, but I would suggect Seven Souls if you liked the track on the show.
    By the way, for the "casual" listener, Material, which is, basically, a vehicle for Bill Laswell, is a very interesting band and a lot of people here would LOVE Hallucination Engine a floaty semi ambient CD from the early 90s featuring a whole load of jazz and "world" musicians.
    Hugely fabulous record.

      I agree... a fabulous album. It's a must-have for anyone intersted in Bill Laswell's projects.
      Two other must-haves are Axiom Ambient: Lost in the Translation and Divination: Ambient Dub Volume II, Dead Slow
      There's no mistaking a Bill Laswell bass line, is there?

      "Never get involved in a boy and girl fight..." Great advice.
