David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. “Sopranos” Spoiler 1
As a fed told Tony last week: “End times.” Last episode’s whackfest promised an explosive conclusion, as Tony and Phil Leotardo set on one another’s families with a vengeance, and Phil’s got the upper hand. Dr. Melfi’s dumped Tony as a patient, but that’s not that pressing a concern right now since he and his family are on the run, AJ’s nearing meltdown mode and Tony’s thoroughly sick of his son.
So let’s kick back and enjoy the carnage, shall we?
This episode features: Graphic Violence! Nudity! Adult Content! Adult Language!
It opens with Tony’s portly mug sleeping, being awakened. He was sleeping next to that machine gun the late Bobby Bacala gave him earlier in the season.
Now Tony and Paulie Walnuts are outside the airport, in the bitter cold. Tony meets his Fed contact and gives him a droplet of information about potential terrorists, and asks if he knows where Phil might be. “You’re overreaching,” he’s told.
Tony visits Carmela at her safe house. “Are you being careful?” she asks him. AJ’s girlfriend was staying over – just asking, if your boyfriend is being tracked by mobsters, would you stay over at his place? She’s a junior in high school.
Bobby’s funeral, we're told, is Thursday. AJ can’t believe they’re going to appear in public with contracts on their heads. The funeral gets all of 8 seconds of screen time.
Paulie’s hitting on Bobby’s niece at the funeral reception. AJ’s appalled at the small talk, then refers to Yeats as “Yeets.”
Tony, Paulie and their bodyguard are in a dingy, poorly lit dump of a safe hourse watching an old “Twilight Zone” show in which a TV producer proclaims networks are "preoccupied with quality.”
15 minutes in: No body count. Even Phil Leotardo is bummed: “F#%&in’ A, I’m disappointed."
