bah. Forgot all about it. Missed the first 30 mins. Anyone mind recapping wut happened? when i began watching, tony was in the hospital and the doctor was telling him he had alzheimers. O guess that was a dream or something.
Tony wakes up in a hotel room and looks confused. He sort of grabs his stomach like he has indigestion. You see him in a bar then, and he's having a drink. He gets up and calls home, getting an answering machine with an outgoing messege that sounds like two younger kids, a boy and a girl. He tells them he got there OK and that they should call him back. He steps back to the bar, gets his wallet and briefcase, then walks outside, again feeling his stomach like he doesn't feel well. He hears a helicopter and looks up into the searchlight, briefly you see someone flashing a light into his eyes.

Next day, he goes to a conference, looks like a big military vendor meeting or something. He tries to register, but doesn't have his own wallet. He goes back to the hotel, but they won't let him in his room to look for his wallet. He goes back to the bar and meets some people and has dinner and drinks with them. He calls home again and finds out the guy who he accidently switched wallets with hasn't called back. He returns to the table to find out that one of the guys paid for dinner and left. Next scene is Tony outside of the hotel making out with a woman from the group of people he had dinner with, but she says "it's not going to happen". They both look up into the helicopter searchlight again, and this time it fades into a three-light OR-style light fixture. Tony is in reality, in a hospital bed hooked up to a breathing machine and is in bad shape. He pulls out his breathing tube and struggles until they sedate him and put his tube back. Carmella and Meadow are there in the room and the doctor makes them leave.

We find out Tony is in a medically induced coma and that Uncle Junior Soprano is being questioned for shooting Tony. There is a funeral for Gene, and Silvio decides that he will collect for Tony as usual, and that he'll give some money to Carmella to run the house. Vito wants the sportsbook that Gene ran, but Silvo tells him it isn't time to be asking for something like that.

Tony wakes up (in his coma) and walks out of his hotel room. The elevator is out of order, so he takes the stairs, where he falls and hits his head. That's how he ended up in the hospital (in his coma).

The doctor tells Carmella they should play Tony's favorite music and talk to him while he's out. Carmella has a talk with Tony saying she feels terrible about saying that Tony was going to hell and that he shouldn't go to hell. If Edie Falco doesn't win an emmy for this scene alone, there's something wrong. She's also upset because AJ won't stay with Tony and watch him. AJ ends up deciding to stay the night with Tony and talks to him about cars. In the morning, AJ tells Carmella that he flunked out of college.

I might have gone into what you already saw - but that's most of the episode in pretty good detail. I probably left out some of the non-coma stuff.

I'm wondering if they are going to have Tony recover but not have any memory of his gangster life. If his dream life will be his reality.

Something about Malaga, the guy he thinks is trying to kill him.

I think he's going to survive, wake up, and try to get out of the family. I think the guy who killed himself was foreshadowing it.

I didnt notice that, I did notice that he was just a regular Joe, a working guy.

Absolutely. Having heard his non-Sopranos voice before that's how he normally sounds.

I thought the whole point of the dream sequence was to suggest what his life would be like had he not been Tony Soprano. I kept thinking that he would later find out that he was Finnerty and that being Tony Soprano was the real dream...

He says, "Cazzata Malanga!" It means something to the effect of, "Malanga, you piece of trash!"

It's hard to pick out one, since I have seen most more than once, and I think of them as one long narrative. I loved College in season 1, the Pine Barrens episode in season 3, Whoever Did This in season 4, and Cold Cuts in season 5, among many others.

He doesn't have an italian accent in the show to begin with. The character he is playing was Jersey born and raised. In the coma hallucinations he was speaking with a more educated standard American english accent instead of the New Jersey/New York mobster slang he normally uses.

I liked it. The coma hallucinations Tony was having fit in with everything we have learned about him over the past 5 seasons.

Nope, there's been a ton of episodes where people don't die. The show doesn't kill off people every episode.

Also, missed something important in my summary. AJ told Tony that he was going to kill Uncle Junior for him. I don't think he has the balls to do it, personally.

It gotta be the first one with no real violence then.

no there have been other episodes without violence

I dont mind episodes where "nothing happens" meaning no one dies or whatever, i just really dont like dream sequences...like last years 3rd to last episode where the whole episode was tony dreaming with his teeth falling out and annette benning.

but i will wait and see where this goes

I don't know if AJ has the stones to kill Uncle June, but if he does, the shockwaves of it will be spectacular.

i could definitely see this season ending with tony dying and then AJ will, in a fit of rage and maybe drugs or alcohol, kill uncle june if he's still around, and then the supposed movie or additional 8 episodes will be about AJ taking over with christopher's help

edit: I remember back in either season 2 or 3 (it's been a while since i've seen them) when christopher is thinking about getting into acting and such when tony tells him that he wants chris to take a greater role and that someday, he may run the family.

I only think it would be spectacular in terms of what it does to AJ as a character (actually his current devolution reminds me very much of Jackie Aprile, Jr., and it would be along those lines). It would be a real personal defeat for him, and a sad move over to the dark side. He is such a weak young man that he'd be more like Fredo Corleone than Michael, if you will.

I don't think anyone with power is really allied with Uncle Junior anymore, and I would think the crews would cut AJ some slack under the circumstances if he did it.

I just had a thought...

in the season 6 teaser preview, i remember seeing AJ running towards a door that had safety glass (the stuff with chicken wire inside)...

I see uncle june going into an insane asylum/mental hospital and somehow AJ goes to visit him and either tries to beat him up or kill him and charges his way out of the place, like in the season preview

I basically liked the second episode, but the thing is that, to me, in general, it always takes them too long to go anywhere, and the dream sequence was too long and drawn out, you know he's going to wake up and be pretty much functional, at least mentally, within a couple of episodes, so why not shorten up the whole coma period and actually get someplace? There could be a whole power struggle while he's laid up, and he can do nothing but whine about it. It would give him a reason to get better, just to get revenge.

I don't see the kid whacking Junior, but who knows?

My favorite episode has to be the Pine Barrens.
