I'm not going to comment fully right away on Sunday's "Sopranos," because I know a lot of my readers don't watch it on Sunday nights. But I can already predict the discourse on this week's episode: the presence of a young Asian man who's mentally ill, and ultimately violent, is going to remind everyone of Seung-Hui Cho. Then everyone else, who made the exact same connection, is going to argue that that conclusion is in fact racist.
Meanwhile, the whackers should be happy: that's three whackings in three episodes, plus the non-whack death of a major character. It's not quite up to the standards of the last season of "Oz" (more than 20 deaths in eight episodes), but something nonetheless.
