5-11 Recap T Didn't Start The Fire
The Test Dream - Valentina burns her robe. Christopher eats Toblerone. Billy Batts whacks Angelo. Diet Tony's on his own. Makazian, Richie, Big Pussy, Mickey P., Gloria, Joey Pants, the Little Lord missed this dance. Godfather, JFK, Frankenstein, and Stanley K. Ebenezer, Valachi, Gary Cooper, Pie-O-My. Artie Bucco pimps Charmaine. Tony's coach shows his disdain. Annette Bening sips champagne. Has Tony finally gone insane? Oh, T didn't start the fire. But he was always dreaming, since the very first season.

5-10 Recap Angry Fat Man
Cold Cuts - There's a place in the world for the angry fat man, with his poly-blend shirts and his head in the sand. And he's never been able to learn from mistakes, so he can't understand why his heart always breaks. So he insults Chrissy and Janice as well, and this whole damn ep was as boring as hell. And Tony'll go to the grave as an angry fat man.

Unidentified Black Males - Diet Tony whacked Joey Peeps. And Johnny Sack wants him off the streets. But Wide Guy never lost his head, even when he was giving head. He said, "Hey, Finn. Want to go to a Yankee game?" And the colored girls say: "Shut up, Meadow."

5-7 Recap Johnny Be Good
In Camelot - Deep down in dark New Jersey, far from the sea breeze, way back up in the past in Tony's memories, there lived a man named Johnny and his mistress Fran. She slept with JFK, and took Tony's dog away. Now Johnny never learned how to treat his wife. And now that's Tony's grown up, it's finally messed with his life. Go, go! Go, Johnny, go go go!

5-6 Recap She Ain't The Cheatin' Kind
Sentimental Education - After four seasons of fidelity, Furio, and Father Phil, Carmela finally gets her freak on with a guidance counselor named Bob. And then he dumps her and she cries about it, meaning that more happened in these fifty-three minutes than in all of last season. In other news, Tony B. tries to open a massage parlor, Tony S. takes a dive, and AJ is...well, AJ. Sigh.

Where's Johnny? - Well, the last days are the hardest days, you can't remember anymore. And if you cut grass on Paulie's street, there is danger at your door. Set your hatred free, throw an elbow at Artie! Whoa-ho, what I want to know, is do you love me?

5-2 Recap These Boobs Were Made For Whacking
Rat Pack - Tony allows his ever-expanding man boobs to serve as the final arbiter of life and death in an episode jam-packed with rats, hats, saturated fats, and the suit Aaron was wearing the night he kissed Shari Katz.

5-1 Recap A Little Less Conversation...
Two Tonys - ...a little more action, please. All this angst and whining ain't satisfactioning me. A little less wuss and a little more dark, a little less Artie and be clear on who's the narc. Come on back with a brand-new start and baby satisfy me.

4-13 Recap It's The End Of The Season As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
Whitecaps - That's great, it starts with a head case. Boats and hoors, the Jersey shore. Lawyer Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to Carmela churn. Tony serves his own needs, never mind the family's. Nine o'clock, TV hour, don't get caught by network power. Slash and burn, Chris returns, look at Johnny Sack churn. With a wire on the Curto and a crazed Vin Delpino, and a mob hit for hire at a combat site. Oh, left him in a hurry with the Russians screaming on the phone. Offer me alternatives, offer me Alias, but I decline. It's the end of the season as we know it, and I feel fine.

4-12 Recap Mambo Italiano
Eloise - "A boy went back to Napoliiiii, because he missed the sceneryyyyy -- the native dances and the charming sooooongs. But wait a minute -- something's wrooooong." Really, really wrong. Furio blows town, leaving Carm depressed, queasy, and bickering with Meadow over homosexual subtext in Melville. Tony keeps doing the dance with Carmine. Paulie kills an old lady. AJ floats an air biscuit.

4-11 Recap Dream On
Calling All Cars - Sing with me, sing for Tony. Sing for the appraiser, sing for Bobby. Sing for Tony, just for today. Maybe tomorrow, the good Chase will take him away. By the way, I find that it's funnier if you pretend Brian Benben is singing it to you.

4-10 Recap No Woman, No Cry
The Strong, Silent Type - Man, who else misses the old Furio? I mean, there are three-dimensional characters, and then there are wussies, and if I wanted a wussy, I'd be watching The West Wing. Other people with problems include Christopher and his heroin addiction, Paulie and his poor taste in artwork, and Tony and his inability to keep his pants on.

4-8 Recap Mother should I check the mall?
Mergers and Acquisitions - Hush now baby, don't you cry. Mama's gonna find a new girlfriend for you. Mama won't let Joey be dirty near you. Mama's gonna wait up until you get in. Mama will always find out what's in the bin. Mama's gonna keep baby breaking those arms. Oooooooh, baby. Of course Mama will help build the wall.

4-7 Recap Our (Crack) House
Watching Too Much Television - The return of Paulie Walnuts brings us the best episode so far this season. Boon risks his neck to help Tony and Vondie Curtis-Hall consummate a real estate deal, but it's his love life that really leaves him cruising for a bruising. Adriana finally convinces Christopher to marry her, only to discover that she's doing it for all the wrong reasons. And while Furio finally starts to dig himself out of danger, Cousin Brian finds himself drawn in even deeper.

4-6 Recap Stuck In The Middle Review
Everybody Hurts - I don't know what to say here tonight. I got the feeling this ep just ain't right. And while I laughed at most all of its jokes, the truth is I don't care 'bout these blokes. I got Artie to the left of me, AJ to the right -- here I am, with a stuck in the middle review.

4-4 Recap The Weight
The Weight - Pulled in to Hoboken, was riding with Johnny Sack. He just wants to know where Ginny keeps the snacks. He said, "Hey, Aaron, does anyone end up dead?" I just smiled and wrote the recap. "No," was all it said. Take a load off, Ginny. Take a load for free. Take a load off, Ginny. And put the hit on Ralphie.

4-3 Recap No One Is To Blame
Christopher - You can block a parade, but you just can't retreat. You can watch Joey Pants take a vibrator in the seat. You can be an Indian chief, and not a serial killer again. Bobby feels the punishment, but he didn't commit the sin. And you blame them. And they blame you. We blame everyone. But no one, no one, no one ever is to blame.

4-2 Recap It's Only Puke & Coal (But I Like It)
No Show - Adriana's new diamond bracelet gets an unexpected adornment when she learns that Lola is more than just a honky-tonk woman. Meanwhile, Meadow is a beast of burden (and we certainly know she's no mother's little helper), and even as a capo, Christopher still can't get no satisfaction.

3-13 Recap The Army Of One
The Army Of One - In this season's Sopranos send-off, Jackie Jr. gets whacked when everyone says he won't, Paulie gets peeved when he's not paid off, and Johnny Sack sleazes and smokes through his non-sequitur of a scene. Back on the homefront, AJ faints dead away at the prospect of being sent away to military school, and Meadow gets sloppy drunk while mourning her hunk. But wait, there's more! Adriana's new friend is a Fed learning her Craft, the boys all get busted for betting, and a half-dozen other plotlines are left blowing in the wind. And then in the end, just like the song says, sad songs say so much.

3-12 Recap Amour Fou
Amour Fou - With an increasingly insane Gloria interfering with his family life, Tony is forced to employ Patsy Parisi to help threaten to put the "whack" back into "whack-job." But even with all her wacky meat-winging ways, Gloria still isn't as bad as LLFP(TPA), who commits a multitude of sins, ranging from smoking spliffs and seeing sluts all the way up to shooting Sunshine. It all prompts Tony "Sun Tzu" Soprano to cleverly remind Joey just who wears the Pants in the Aprile family, thus delegating yet another distasteful task. Oh, and Carmela puts her faith back in The Lord (of the Rings), and at long last finds some inner peace. And also maybe a part-time job.

3-11 Recap Pine Barrens
Pine Barrens - We've already seen the cold Christmas of '95, but this week we're apparently back in the heady Cold War days of 1985, what with Paulie "Ollie North" Walnuts and Christopher "Fawn Maul" Moltisanti stirring up diplomatic incidents, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Russian commandos, and waging war against the evillest empire of all -- South Jersey. On other fronts, Meadow's foray into espionage proves Jackie's lack of intelligence, Tony confesses to Melfi about his cross-border incursion into one of her patients, and said patient Gloria starts showing signs of adding a bit of fatale to her long-since-demonstrated femme.

3-10 Recap Ho ho ho and a barrel of fun
To Save Us All From Satan's Power - David Chase gives us all a great big present by trotting our favorite characters of Christmas past, present, and future. In but a single episode, we're treated to Furio, Paulie, Bobby Bacala, Big Mouth Billy Bass, Janice, Jackie Aprile Sr., Ray Curto, Aaron the Narcoleptic Doppelganger, and of course, The Grinch Who Wired Christmas, Big Pussy himself. There's not much plot between all the cameos, but Tony manages to get revenge on Janice's Russian, Jackie Jr. gets caught with his pants down (but not literally, so don't worry if you missed it), and Carmela has the right suspicions about the wrong girl.

3-9 Recap The softer side of snakes
The Telltale Moozadell - Naughty boys need love too, you know, and they'll do anything to get it. Tony buys his wife a ring, Chris surprises his fianc�e with her very own nightclub, and Jackie Jr. at last succeeds in giving his girlfriend what he tried in vain to deliver last week. In some of the other forty-three subplots in this week's episode, AJ trashes his school, Furio is as funny as always, Jackie Jr. starts breaking into the business, and last but never least in my heart, Aaron The Narcoleptic Doppelganger is still just trying to spread the good word.

3-8 Recap The Art Of Whore
He Is Risen - It's all strategy and tactics this week, as Joey Pants and Johnny Sack maneuver to catch Tony in their pincers. But it's not until Gigi fights a losing battle with his own colon that Joey gets the battlefield promotion he's always wanted. In a rearguard action, Meadow manages to repel Jackie Jr.'s initial advances, but reconnaissance indicates that Little Lord Fuckpants will be storming the beaches at Dog One any day now. And while all's now quiet on the Carmela front, Tony's new luxury car does come FULLY equipped, which is sure to ignite a nuclear firestorm of its own.

3-7 Recap Answer: Life, the universe, and everything
Second Opinion - Question: Name three things that depress Carmela this week. In other news, Junior gets a harsh treatment for his cancer while his doctor gets an even harsher treatment for his poor bedside manner. Christopher suffers the slings and (apparently tiny) arrows of Paulie's in-your-face (and nose) management style, and Angie Bompensiero fails to translate her oodles of poodles into pools of moolah.

3-6 Recap Girls, Interrupted
University - It's ladies night on The Sopranos, but the specials are death, depression, and, well, dickheads. And that doesn't even count the cover charge for the VIP room. Tracee the Dancer, Caitlin the Roommate, and Meadow the Daughter all learn some very important life lessons that may or may not make things better for them. It's another brutally brilliant episode, complete with mystery, misogyny, and the missionary position. Don't miss it.

3-5 Recap Requiem For A Gladiator
Another Toothpick - Oscar fever extends even to The Sopranos, and we've got all your best picture needs right here. Charles Dutton plays a depressed cop struggling with corruption after he gives Tony a traffic ticket, Burt "Coughing Mobster, Hideous Driver" Young gets one last chance to be a gladiator, Meadow still loves her chocolat, and Bobby Bacalovich is just a sensitive, down-on-his-luck working man trying to get by in an unjust world.

3-4 Recap Sympathy for the Devil
Employee Of The Month - When Melfi's world is shattered by a vicious assault, she's forced to confront her feelings about the men in her life. Meanwhile, Tony "Mother's Little Helper" Soprano tries to quash Jackie Jr.'s debut as a street-fighting man, Joey Pants learns he's now in exile on Main Street, and Janice can neither get nor play "Satisfaction" when Svetlana makes her pay for her sticky fingers. As for Meadow (who's sans Brown Sugar this week), well, you better not start me up.

3-3 Recap And onward goes this thing of ours
Fortunate Son - Flashbacks and therapy teach Tony that lunch meat makes him faint, while football and family dinners teach AJ that he has the same taint. Christopher finally gets made, but quickly learns that it ain't that quaint. Meanwhile, Meadow thinks Noah's a saint (which Carmela accepts without complaint), and Jackie Jr. lacks restraint. Janice pulls a roommate feint, and Suddenly Svetlana's leg disappears, presumably for a new coat of paint.

3-2 Recap Public Enemy No. 1
Proshai, Livushka - A movie about a doomed gangster and his loving mother provides the backbone to this week's second major mother fatality. And while Joyce was by far the superior parent, Livia will be much more sorely missed. In other news, Tony sees the light at the end of the therapy tunnel, and Furio is revealed to be a closet Survivor junkie. Special guest appearance by the creator of the Livia-bot himself, George Lucas.

3-1 Recap The meaningless and all that's true
Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood - With the Feds trying madly to bug the Soprano basement, we get a re-introduction to all the characters we've come to know and love. Pretty much everything the FBI hears is meaningless, while everything Paulie says about urine is absolutely true. The jury is still out on whether the new lamp will be meaningless or not. I'm betting "not."

2-7 Recap Jon Favreau = yummy with a spoon
D-Girl - No, not Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau. Vince Vaughn isn't in this episode. They just talk about him a lot. Vince Vaughn, not Jon Favreau. He's actually in it. Jon Favreau, I mean.

Miss Parker
2-6 Recap Forty-five boxes of ziti
The Happy Wanderer - Dysfunction extends beyond the Soprano family! Davey Scatino proves he's an idiot by getting into deep debt to Tony and Richie when he should be attending Gambler's Anonymous meetings, causing his son's testosterone level to escalate; Eric flares his nostrils, furrows his bushy brow, reddens his cheeks, and tells Meadow off.

2-5 Recap Out of the woods
Big Girls Don't Cry - Christopher takes an acting class and discovers his inner child by blubbering like a baby, pummeling classmates, and attacking people with paintbrushes. Melfi behaves like a menopausal schoolgirl, and Tony returns to (insincere gasp) therapy after assaulting a phone and a Russian dressed like a plaid banana; thank God for small miracles.

Miss Parker
2-4 Recap Just like The Godfather, but without the monkey
Commendatori - Remember that scene where Michael goes back to the old country, sees his ancestral home, and meets the hot Italian chick with the sexy name? Yeah, all that happens here too. It's even got the old Don in a wheelchair. Except instead of teaching her to drive, he teaches her to golf. They still crash and burn, though.

2-1 Recap All In The Family
Guy Walks Into A Psychiatrist's Office - Tony grouches like Archie. Carmela nags like Edith. Pretty much everyone else is a meathead, especially The Monkey Boys. Watch as they reunite families, swindle old ladies, and get jiggy to...Deep Purple? Oh yeah, Melfi's back too.

1-13 Recap Psychiatry pays for itself
I Dream Of Jeannie Cusamano - Once Dr. Melfi got Tony's dosage correct, she was a pretty good doctor. But even the best doctor should know better than to get between an Italian boy and his mother. Don't they teach them anything useful in medical school?

1-12 Recap Mamma mia
Isabella - Tony's subconscious mind is trying to tell him that his mother kind of sucks ass. Do you think Freud has a chapter on what to do when a patient's mother is arranging hits on him?

1-11 Recap Everybody get gross
Nobody Knows Anything - Paulie gets disgusting. Pussy gets downright rancid. And the timing is not so good, because with the indictments hanging over their heads, the crew needs to keep their noses clean. And the dirty cop? He's cleaned up his act on his own.

1-10 Recap A Hit Is A Hit
A Hit Is A Hit - Paulie says they've been told. Twice. Now he'll tell them. And then he shoots the suit in the head. Then they steal all his money. Which is a lot. We're talking suitcases of cash here, folks. Not to say that crime pays or anything.

1-6 Recap Pax Soprano
Pax Soprano - Tony turns the tables, asking Melfi why she has him as a patient and pointing out in a rather fond tone that a lot of people "would go a hundred miles out of their way not to have eye contact with" him, "but you -- you didn't flinch." Melfi smiles tightly and looks away. Does that count as a flinch? I think it does

1-5 Recap College
College - Meadow tries to find another station, then switches the radio off and, after much eye-flicking and lip-biting, she asks Tony straight out, "Are you in the Mafia?" Tony, stunned, stares at her in disbelief: "Am I in the what?"

1-3 Recap Denial, Anger, Acceptance
Denial, Anger, Acceptance - "Nothing much," Mikey says between sips of soup. "There was some stuff missin' from the truck," but Comley was just glad to get the truck back. Mikey has on a light beige blazer over a darker beige cable-knit sweater with no shirt on under it -- sartorial non-splendor doesn't get any more Jersey than that, folks.

46 Long - The talking head asks an unseen interviewee about the situation "on the ground today," and Big Pussy "Who Put The 'Bop' In The 'Bop Shoo Bop Shoo'" Bompensiero strolls in and dumps more cash onto the table from of a crumply paper bag, and the interviewee describes "confusion" and "a vacuum at the top."

1-1 Recap The Sopranos
The Sopranos - Fade up on Tony "Tony, Why Ya Buggin'?" Soprano in a waiting room, skeptically eyeing a sculpture of a nude that has really aggressive nipples. We cut back and forth between Tony, staring at the nude with his hands folded, and the nude, staring impassively back at Tony with her arms crossed behind her head.
