Whoa! So much for the premise that every Season starts out slow.

Heh. I was thinking, "Wow, Tony dodged a couple of bullets this week!"
And then along came June...

Where did "Florida guy" come from? Have we seen him before?
EDIT: I guess it's this guy:
Quote:
Eugene Pontercorvo
Played By Robert Funaro
"Boss or no, you don't raise your hand to another made guy."
Eugene is a member of the crew that was headed by Ralph Cifaretto, and was one of the few people who actually seemed to get along with the late capo. He's one of the newer made guys in New Jersey; he got his button at the same ceremony as Christopher. That day Eugene stood up in front of Tony Soprano and the rest of the family, and pledged his undying devotion to them, above any and all else.
It wasn't long after his swearing-in that Eugene got an object lesson in what "devotion" truly means. It was his card game that was robbed by Jackie Aprile, Jr. and his cohorts in their attempt to impress Tony Soprano. The robbers were high on crank, and ended up killing the dealer and wounding Furio. Not long after, Aprile, despite being the only son of the former don, was executed. He'd shot a made man and because of that, there was nothing anyone could do for him. It was, as all made men know, a thing of honor.

I had forgotten just how crazy Uncle June was... he is most certainly off his rocker, which Tony S. can certainly testify about now.
Meanwhile, it's nice to know that the Feds have been keeping busy, and haven't given up on trying to nail the big guy. Too bad for them that most of their best leads keep winding up dead, even if one was from natural causes.
I actually did feel sorry for the poor guy that inherited the $$ from his aunt, up until I saw him in the car with the feds. Once that hit, the empathy went away. Then of course, to see him swingin' sort of swung the pendulum back in the other direction.
It was nice to see the results of the celebrity fit club guy on the show, though everyone involved with the show needs to send Aida T. (Janice) off to the same place, for twice the length of time. Not to be sexist, but she seems to be trying to catch up to Gandolfini in the size department....

I know of no other show that can be off the air for so long and grab you back in without missing a beat like that, wow.
My wife mentioned right before Uncle Junior came down the stairs that Tony had better watch him or else he was going to shoot Tony not knowing who he was, and just as soon as the she got that out of her mouth he shot him.
Can't wait to see next week.

So is Tony dead or is this a cliffhanger fakeout? I'm not sure I'd like this show without Tony.

Somehow I don't think Tony's going to die. I do think, however, that he's going to be in an entirely different frame of mind about assisted living.

I said that to my wife, but it was when Tony first entered and turned the light on.
And there's no way Tony (Gandalfino) weighs 280+

That was quite an opening.
I read somewhere a wile back that Gandolphini has to gain weight for the role. They want Tony to be fat.
I think not showing previews was a nice touch. I know I was looking to see if Tony showed up in them.

More product placement
I was amazed at the new mode of product placement. Can't wait to see whats on the model train next week! Clever. Nestle, Porche, Vette, Cingular, Motorola, Stewarts, and Pasta I'll recognize when I see it in the store.
Who needs commercials?
Pretty good episode though....

Tony ain't gonna die...he's in next week's episode. This is not a spoiler...it's on the episode guide!
James Gandolfini had to put on about 65 pounds to continue to play Tony...a thin Tony didn't work for the producers.

You missed the Sunoco gas in the opening. They were advertising gas for 97 cents a gallon.
