This season and really, this episode reflects the incompetence of the new writers. Or am I missing something? There are so many threads that should have been carried through from season 5. The Soprano's edgy writing of the previous 5 seasons just isn't here. For instance, Pussy's story ran for half of the first season and ended in the whacking of the rat in the last episode of the second season right after a brilliant dream sequence that Chase was so famous for. OK, that said, wouldn't you think that Adriana's mother would be kind of wondering what happened to her? What does Tony B's mother think happened to her son? Wouldn't you think that Jimmy's taking down Johnny Sack which "would have gotten all the way to Big Carmine had he lived" also taken down also have taken down Phil Leotardo who is on parole? I like Artie Buco as much as the next person but a whole episode on the failing restaurant and the credit card scam with all these questions left unanswered is perplexing. The old Tony Soprano would have taxed Benny for pulling this scam in Artie's place. I know Tony has changed and that's OK but give us die-hard Soprano's fans something to hope for. Please, Christopher and his sponsor would have not even gotten to LAX after hitting Lauren Bacall and hitting another car. The whole plot with him and Little Carmine in Hollywood wasn't even funny, it is getting so stupid it is annoying. If they are going to pull us into a plot, continue it for goodness sakes. So, Vito disappears (one plot that carried over), what is going on with Junior? I will keep watching, if for no other reason than to find out of this concludes in wrapping this all together and making a fool of me. But some continuity with the plots they are developing please.
