[Triumph36]

Great episode - no one mentioned the cutaway from Carmela admiring Paris's architecture to Silvio yelling 'Make sure you get that [censored] off her tit!' to the guy washing the BadaBing sign. They've gotten good at these humorous cutaways.

There was a bit too much of Carmela's philosophizing - it was pretty obvious that Ro was tiring of it throughout the whole trip. What a weird ending - it seemed to echo Carmela's thought in Paris about how people jump in and out of existence in a person's life. The photographer just had a kind of 'huh' reaction to the whole thing.

Also glad to see Vito get whacked without the Phin rape - I never believed that to begin with, as it didn't really seem to fit the story. Speaking of rape, that whole Dr. Melfi rape thing never really went anywhere, but that's a couple of seasons ago now I guess.

Still, I thought the show was really well acted, especially the scene at dinner in Paris and the scene in the garage with Tony and Anthony. All the little threads are coming together - should be really interesting from now until the end of the season.
