Help me, Jebus!

That scene with Chrissy and Ade after she told him the truth: Madon', I was crying like a baby. Yeah, what can I say, I have soft spot in my head for Chrissy and Ade. And then Sil had to kill someone he'd shown fondness for in the past. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! He's one cold motherfucker. Chrissy watching The Three Amigos to get over Ade...sheesh. And did Agent Bitchface actually care about Ade's fate? Or just her case? I swear, I thought she was a little sad once she realized Ade was gone.

The inevitable occurred. Tony and Carm, standing in a tree, F-U-C-K-I-N-G. I'm glad for it, too. Oh, and was Ade killed in the plot Tony bought for Carm? SHIT!

Little Carmine is a total fucking pussy. And Gawd, do I ever want Johnny Nutsack taken out.

This ep totally broke my heart. I need to go cuddle with my teddy bear and suck my thumb. But the Springsteen ref was good. But the rest...fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck!!

Edited because I thought Ade was Sil's niece, but she's not.

That. Fucking. Rocked.

I seriously could not figure out how Adriana would get out of that one and, well, she didn't. Chrissy was stone cold. And then stoned. Nice. RIP, pretty girl. (so pretty without the makeup!)

Depending on how Tony deals with Diet Tony in the end, Christopher may be out-sociopathing his Uncle. Way to excel!

I also loved the marital rapprochement - complete with Carm's shakedown of Tony - and their family dinner, great moment for the small 'f' Sopranos while the big 'F's fall to shit.

Wow, I knew Adrianna was about it get it when Tony called from the payphone instead of the cellphone.

R.I.P Ade and Ade's nails.

NO! NO NO NO NO NO!

Damn you David Chase! Why did you have to wack Adriana? Why couldn't you let the innocent live? Why do bad things have to happen to good people?

(with last week's Angel season finale still in my brain): Why couldn't you lie to us? Just this once?

Oh my God. WOW!!

Ranks in the top 5 episodes of all-time, in my book. Tony and Carmela get back together, and it's the third most important development behind Ade's death and a declaration of war on New York?

Wow!

Christofuh was crazy good in that entire episode. He also wins my eternal praise for quoting Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run in conversation.

Everything else was just... wow.

I hope Ade comes back in a dead people montage to hound Christofuh next season. What a great job those two did with the confession scene.

Two and a half dead bodies until Tony B. got bit by the loyalty bug...wow. Great episode all around.

And, [superficial]loved Carm's pink suit with the zebra trim. How faaabu.[/superficial]

Now, THAT was a Soprano's episode!

"Stagmire"?

Poor Adriana, I knew she wasn't bright enough to walk away, from the Feds or from Silvio. Is a Consigliere supposed to be whacking people?

Where was Carmela getting her hairstyles from? 1950's Stepford wife in the beginning, Sex in the City look at the end.

Why do bad things have to happen to good people?


Because you can't be in it and out of it at the same time - I was really hoping she was going to get out. Heartbreaking episode...

Why do we have to wait two weeks?

HBO always prempts on Memorial Day...

Why is HBO making us wait 14 days until we see the finale? WHY WHY WHY? I want to see it right now.

Wow. I never thought I'd say this, but DC, you made up for last week!

And props to Aaron, who years ago noted that the second-to-last ep is always the best.

Aw, damn. As much as I knew that was gonna happen, it still hurt. No more big haired, second skin attired, scarlet taloned Ade. F*ing Chrissy. F*ing Silvio. I wonder how Carm is going to react when she finds out. And didn't that land look like the same woods where Ade got it? No? Never mind.

Can't comment about the other developments right now. Maybe I'll be able to do that after I watch the HBO West airing.
