Inappropriate Behavior on Last Night’s Episode of ‘The Sopranos’: 5/21/06

Posted by Dan May 22nd, 2006 at 03:17pm In The Sopranos

While Carmella is in Paris, Tony got a blow job in the car from one of the strippers at Bada Bing. 

At first, all you see is Tony driving, immediately pre-climax.  His eyes are rolling back in his head, his jaw is slack and he's moaning slightly.  As I watched, I knew exactly what was going on (seeing as how he was making eyes with the stripper in a previous scene).

In the grand Miller tradition of watching inappropriate shows together, my mom  is sitting on the couch near me.

She says, "What's going on, is he having a heart attack?"

And I stammer, "I think he's…  he might be getting…  satisfaction."

Then, the stipper's head comes into frame as she dabs her mouth with a hankey.

"Oh," said Mom. 

In terms of fun graphic violence worth sharing, there were two last night.  Only two, but they were doozies indeed.

First comes the long-awaited whacking of Vito.  Having alienated Johnnycakes, estranged himself from his family and put himself on the outs (to say the least) with the family, Vito's life is looking pretty grim as he returns to his hotel room.  Not that he really has to worry about it for that much longer.

Phil: not a member of PFLAG.

Phil shows up with two goons, and they proceed to gag him, beat him to death and shove a pool cue you know where — all for bringing disgrace to the family name for being a fanook.

Vito getting whacked is a lot like when Sil killed Adrianna last season.  You spent the entire season waiting for it to happen.  She was ratting to the cops and you just knew it couldn't end well.  And it didn't.

Next was the multiple stabbing death of one of Phil's men for mouthing off about Vito.  A very minor character, but there were some pretty brutal stab wounds in the pot belly.
