The Sopranos - Season 4 (2002 David Chase)

Stunod = crazy, disagreeable (from stonato tone deaf, not all there). But again, cannot track down what sounds like gababesh and schivuzz.

DP duties still split between Abraham and Sakharov, but the house style seems darker, maybe post 9/11.

Is Furio in love with Carmela?

Ralphie and Johnny Sack almost have each other whacked over fat joke.

Detective (Lola Glaudini) goes undercover and moves in on Adriana. She has the bright idea to get married so she can't testify - turns out that doesn't hold water any more.

And Tony falls for - a race horse.


Christopher either knows or thinks he knows what happened to Ralphie (unless he's too high) and that to me is like planting a plot bomb. Though when the big power move at the end comes, it's not what you're expecting - Carmela kicking out Tony.

Paul Dano's in it. And Elias Koteas. Tony Lip is Carmine.

Tony to Meadow's new boyfriend, a dental student: "If anyone bothers her he'll knock their teeth out and then put them back in."

Christopher kills Adriana's dog by sitting on it, high. "She must have snuck under me because she was cold." Worst moment of the show - Christopher punching Adriana in the face.

After the show wrapped, Steve Van Zandt was quoted as saying that he missed David Chase, 'Jimmy' and Tony [Sirico]. I'm glad to hear he was friends with the latter, as you have a sneaking suspicion they would be, but you never know.

'The Man with the Harmonica' by Apollo 440 ends 'Whoever Did This' rated very highly by fans, and signifying a point where the series turned darker and never got the laughs back from the earlier episodes. Director Tim Van Patten.
