Sopranos Season Five ruled, and after one episode, Sopranos Season Six rules...minor characters make the show, as "Members Only" demonstrated with the focus on the obscure Eugene Pontecorvo...the episode highlighted how evil Tony Soprano and his crew really are, which is often lost on the audience (and perhaps the writers too)...Meadow is hot...The small things make The Sopranos great, like the scene of college freshman AJ taking a ridiculous, ridiculous cell-phone picture of himself while in class. In a few short seconds, the director conveyed just how much of a loser AJ is...Sopranos can never go wrong in dousing an episode with violence; the fact that Sunday night's program also had a compelling storyline didn't hurt (or do I have the importance of violence versus storyline reversed?)...did I mention that Meadow is hot?...more Phil Leotardo, please...Et tu, Junior?

Leotardo is great! Perfect casting of a wiseguy. Now go get your f-in shinebox!!!

That's who that guy is! Joe Pesci killed him in Good Fellas. I knew I'd seen him, but I couldn't place him.

So what happens with Tony? Who is interim boss? Atkins man, Chris, Silvio, or who?

Leotardo was the beaten to a pulp by Pesci in Raging Bull He slammed his head with a car door. Classic scene. Pesci also killed him in GoodFellas. But Leotardo got revenge in C*sino by executing Pesci. Great roles in each case. He will finally get his due in the Sopranos.
