- Maybe my favorite episode so far? Certainly up there. I hate those country club guys so much! What a perfect way to get back at Dr. Cusimano with the box full of sand.
- Whoever wrote and recorded the music for Defiler/Visiting Day is a genius. Truly awful.
- The meeting with Hesh and Massive G is an interesting one. The Black/Jewish/Italian "gangster" cultural nexus is kind of uniquely fraught.
- Oh no! Did Carmela commit insider trading?!

"Excuse me, I've recorded in Denmark."


Christopher's idea of being a music producer: give the musicians drugs.


Dr. "Cooze" and his friends: another great audience surrogate, a bunch of dorks obsessed with the mafia, trying to be badass. And Tony telling the story about John Gotti buying the Bungalow Bar truck!!! Too funny.

Especially the way he looks around to check if anyone's listening before he starts...

BTW, Episode 5: College is for some reason not linked with the others (I think bc it isn't marked "First Watch"). The "previous episode/next episode" links at the bottom skip from Eps. 4-6

Perfect example of bad post-grunge rock could get. Barely a parody.
