Artie's business is jeopardized by a rival restaurant and staff scandal; Christopher and Little Carmine pursue a new venture out of town.

I loved this episode! This is the Sopranos that I fell in love with six years ago. Mob hits, fights, the crew dressed in suits, Christopher being Christopher, Tony back to being his tough self.

Poor Artie. He can't catch a break to save his life. And no Vito this week. Next week looks good too.

I'm split on this episode. I liked it and I didn't like it. I loved all the Christopher stuff in LA. Little Carmine cracks me up because he tries to come off so smart, but sounds so dumb. I got a kick out of them mugging Lauren Bacall. :lol:

The Artie stuff kind of bored me. I don't know what it is, but his character to me is somewhat bland. Well, Rusty got whacked and I can't help but think that is eventually going to bite Tony on the ass.

PS, Next week does look very good!

Christopher: "Law & Order: SUV"

:lol:

That was funny :lol: I can't believe Christopher is back on the drugs.

I know. That came out of nowhere. I expect towards the end, they'll stop dropping like flies. Probably not this round of episodes, but the ones early next year.

This was not one of my favorite episodes. The L.A. scenes were okay, but, the whole Artie storyline bored me.

I thought this whole episode was good. I liked how Tony called Little Carmine a ****** when Chris asked him for permission to go to California. I think as far as the Artie/Benny thing goes, I think Benny deserved to get beat up, I mean that whole thing with the Albanian girl and her green card was none of his business, he's already married and she's Artie's employee. Not to mention he's ripping off the Vesuvio and making Artie's life harder. Artie's just trying to run a legitimate resturant. Benny's getting a little too cocky, I hope he don't turn into another jerk like Christopher with him being in Chris's crew. I felt bad for Benny when Phil beat him up in the 5th season but I didn't when Artie did, that whole conflict is mostly Benny's fault in the first place. Although Artie was a little out of line when he made that comment about the Martini when Benny was there, Artie should have just left it alone.

My husband liked the Bada Bing! action :lol:
