A standout start to the sixth season. A few observations: Uncle Junior looks more and more like the Six Flags Old Guy with every passing season, as he gets older and skinnier and loses more hair... As soon as the episode was all-Eugene, all-the-time, I knew he was gone... I loved Bobby's train set. How long before we get our once-every-two-years glimpse of him actually being a mobster?... Would Johnny really wait through two years of incarceration before selling his Maserati? You'd think it would be the first to go, what with the creditors hounding Ginny... I'd love to know who in wardrobe gave the go-ahead to lengthen Silvio's hairpiece, like that was an actual decision that required action... Vito Spatafore may be the fattest man who's ever lost more than 100 pounds. I think he just did it so people have something to talk to him about other than, uh, that other thing... Where'd the weekly Monday "Sopranos" roundup on Slate go?... That was a highlight of last season! And no, there's absolutely no way in hell Tony's dead. But it will be VERY interesting to see whether mob honor requires him to kill Uncle Junior. That's twice now he's almost died by Junior's hand...
And yes, the Uncle Junior/Dick Cheney jokes have already begun.
