EPISODE 6: Live Free or Die
Been extra busy this week so this entry is definitely in arrears (not in a Vito kind of way). A few quick hits:
- I forgot how hard Chrissy's "important bidness" walk makes me laugh. Check out the way he hoofs it into the Bing to tell Tony about meeting Sal's cousin from Yonkers at AA.
- Another Chris classic in this episode comes when he's talking to the "third party" who's going to outfit the Neapolitan "tailors" with some "scissors." Chrissy laughs off the talk about Vito at first, but then admits that there could be some truth to the rumor. He says, "Some guys went down to the Shore to see him; he was with his goomar... As soon as he saw 'em he took off like a bat on a hill." A bat on a hill?! Nice. On a side note, the Episode Guide on the official website calls the third party "heroin addict Corky Caporale." And it looks like he will be more than a bit player as IMDB suggests his role will be protracted over at least 2 more episodes. I don't know about Corky, he may fold under questioning.
- Hadn't heard of Johnnycakes before, but then again I've never been to New Hampshire. They could have been fictionalized just to add to the gay theme by having Vito say, "Give me the Johnnycakes," to Morgan Spurlock. Who knows? Who cares? I'm ready for the decision on Vito to be made one way or the other. Joseph Gannascoli got on my nerves WAY before they made him a leering, Finn-harassing, construction worker-blowing Village Person.
- Finally, and most importantly, Tony really has found his Ojibwe roots if he thinks he can just say "I'm the boss and I say he gets a pass," and have his whole Family toe the party line on Vito. No chance in hell. Not saying he's wrong, but that whole world revolves around the perception of respect, and Jersey is already being pushed around by New York. First rule of holes? Stop digging.
