Some thoughts:
--Worst. Bungled. Suicide. Attempt. EVER! If you have a plastic bag and a rubber band, why do you need a pool? Is one cinder block really enough weight to hold down a swimmer? Let alone the fifteen feet of rope that everyone else has already mentioned.
--Little Carmine's best scene ever. He came to talk to Tony about that little "alteration", and warned Tony that he was "standing on the precipice of the crossroads." I was dying.
--Artie Buco was at Chrissy's funeral, standing with the guys. Don't blink, or you'll miss him. Wasn't he also at the Cleaver premier, or Christopher's cookout?
--Check out Tony's expression in scene where Meadow tells him about the Coco incident, and Tony says, "Oh really? What else did he say?" Gandolfini hasn't looked that cold-blooded since "True Romance".

On a date in the city with her new boyfriend, Patrick Parisi, Meadow is confronted by a drunk Coco, who makes a series of slightly threatening and vulgar remarks to her, before Albie finally pulls him away

Albie is played by my boy Cha-Cha, and is part of Phil's crew. It's his second season on the show, and "Come on, Coco, let's go," may have been his second line of dialogue.
In real life, Cha-Cha owns a restaurant in Little Italy (Cha Cha's on Mulberry Street), which makes me wonder if either of the restaurant scenes were filmed in his joint. I'm sure he'll mention it on his Sirius radio show if this is the case ("The Wiseguys Show", with Big Pussy, Wednesday afternoon on channel 104; I can't believe, given all the Sopranos fans here, that I'm the only guy in the history of OOT who talks about this show, it's awesome--I'd pay Sirius the $12/mo just for this show).
One last Cha-Cha note: he's the short guy with the mustache drinking at the end of the bar with Frank Vincent in "GoodFellas". Again, no lines. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
