Just the guy's sincerity in delivering the lines, like each time he was discovering the "merry-o" for the first time, you just believe in him completely. Side note, that "High ho the merry-o" song had to be one of the most annoying things ever composed, yet as it went on, I couldn't help but enjoy it. But the funniest thing was when Tony tells AJ he should be observing things if he wants to be an event planner, then AJ goes around and says "An event planner? Where do you come up with this shit," effectively puncturing all the speculation that line in the fifth season finale prompted during the off season. Tony and Johnny talking business with the old people was another hilarious bit. AJ's date claiming that she wouldn't eat fish because of the toxins, while at the same time smoking a cigarette.

Another good bit was Johnny's disgust at the patent leather shoes.Īfter Tony's near collapse, we get a lot of strong comedy bits at the wedding. The whole opening of the episode was very funny, I particularly liked Johnny's thin daughter lamenting the fact that all anyone talks about in their family is food. Leading up to the wedding, we get some strong scenes with Johnny Sack. That was a great moment, the lack of words saying a lot more than any actual comment would. The closest they come to a major moment is when Finn is about to say something to her at the wedding then stops. She does seem very unsure about the marriage to Finn, and we haven't gotten a sense that they have any kind of strong rapport. One interesting bit in this scene was Meadow's claim that what the government was doing was absurd, further emphasizing the way that she's being drawn more and more into the family. This weakness is wonderfully conveyed during the entrance to the wedding, where just the act of walking into the wedding is too exhausting for him. When Junior shot Tony, he basically turned Tony into him, the boss, but someone whose time has passed.

He just wants to spend some time with his grandkids before he dies. One of my favorite scenes in the episode was Tony's discussion with Meadow in the kitchen, where he presents himself more and more as someone on the way out. He can barely make it up the stairs, and his greatest pleasure seems to be collapsing in bed. The episode did a great job of conveying Tony's physical exhaustion. There is no place for that sort of introspection in the mob world. Despite the respect they initially show him, when he starts talking about the surgery, Silvio cuts him off and restarts the game. The poker scene is wonderful because it marks the reunion of the family, with Tony taking his place at the head of the table, but also shows how far removed Tony is from their world. When Carmela sends him off to work, she says "I feel like a mommy," and once he gets there, it's clearly all about making Tony comfortable and keeping things easy for him. Throughout the episode, we see how Tony is now being treated like a weak person in need of help, not unlike Junior back in the early seasons. He's stepped out of his world, and as a result finds it hard to adjust to being back in it. But more interesting is the mental transformation. So, clearly there's been some major physical deterioration, which is a problem in his circles. Last episode I was a bit disappointed that he seemed to be pretty close to normal mentally, considering all the warnings the doctors had given about how he wasn't going to fully recover. That said, I'm glad that they're continuing to dwell on the effect that this experience has had on him, both mentally and physically. The opening of the episode, with the six week gap announced by a title is unlike anything they've done, but I guess it was necessary to explain Tony's recovery. This is done through the three primary stories, Tony's, Johnny's and Vito's. This week, the show tackles the issue of masculinity in the mob world, examining what behavior is acceptable and what isn't acceptable.
