to call this episode brilliant feel like too little . to say it keep up the excellent work of the season premiere be reductive too and cause there never be a far from great sopranos episode so far . in fact and the title might be a smug invitation for those who aren not real fan yet represent join the club . pick up where junior leave off ( put a bullet in his nephew gut after mistake him for a crook he kill in the first season ) and the story begin with tony be absolutely fine . with no recollection whatsoever of what happen to him and he attend some kind of convention . only he not speak with his normal accent and and there seem to be something wrong with his paper represent apparently and he be not tony soprano but kevin finnerty and or at least that what a group of people think and and until the mess be sort out he can not leave his hotel . naturally and in pure sopranos tradition and that turn out to be nothing but a dream represent tony be actually in a coma and with the doctor uncertain regard his fate and his family and friend worry sick and junior refuse to believe the whole thing actually happen . unfortunately it do and and anthony jr. look willing to avenge the attempt on his father life . dream have pop up rather frequently in the series and often a some kind of spiritual trial for the protagonist ( most notably in the season five show the test dream ) . join the club and however and take the metaphysical quality of the program and already hint at by the previous episode use of a william s. burroughs poem and and push the envelope in the most audacious way represent tony hallucinate about his dead friend ( the first occurrence of the sort be cause by food poisoning and four season ago ) be one thing and him actually be in what would appear to be purgatory be radically different . the heavenly section of the story be cram with allegorical significance and not least the name tony be give ( a one character point out and spell it in a certain way will give you the word infinity ) and and none of it come off a overblown or far fetched represent david chase have create a piece of work that be far too intelligent to use weird set ups just for their own sake while it all help the narrative . talk about help from above in the case of tony soprano might be stretch it a tad and though .
