But what links all of these little duets? What’s the link between Paulie and Christopher out in the woods, Tony and Gloria, Tony and Melfi, Meadow and Jackie, Jr.? Normally, the show is pretty good about laying out its thematic connections without doing so in a way that spells everything out with a lack of subtlety. But the comic exploits, turning toward betrayal, of Paulie and Chris’ riff on Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead don’t seem to mesh with the much more fundamentally serious stories of Sopranos in love. At the same time, I think the answer is staring us right in the face: The characters have all metaphorically been lost in the woods this season, trapped in situations where everything looks the same, and there’s no real sense of where to turn at any given moment. Tony being trapped in that relationship with Gloria is just different enough from every other relationship in his life for him to think it’ll be a happy one, but he’s very quickly just trapped in the same old thing (notice how his old Russian girlfriend pops up for the first time in a while), unable to find his way out. The same goes for Meadow, who’s new to getting her heart broken but again finds a guy treating her like shit. And while Paulie and Chris are literally stuck in the woods, they’re also lost in their relationship to each other. Where they were once pretty close, they’re drifting apart, to the point where Paulie tries to get Chris to take the fall for what happened, even if Tony’s skeptical. And that’s to say nothing of Paulie’s relationship to his boss, which continues to be strained.
Odcinek bardzo chwalony, był dobry, ale nie zachwycił aż tak bardzo.
Paulie i Chris świetni, genialnie sie ich oglądało. Ciekawe czy storyline Rosjanina będzie kontynuowany.
Meadow znów dramat... Tony tak samo.
