One of the most haunting images in this episode for me is the POV of Tony looking down at Coco's tooth in the fold of his pant leg during AJ's therapy session. Rather a fitting metaphor for the entire show, really. I notice Christopher Moltisanti's absence. He was a main character and all of a sudden: gone. I like how Tony went personally to NY to take care of Coco. A boss doesn't have to do that himself. So Carmine may been right when he said that a Don doesn't wear shorts, but I can't see Carmine beating up someone on his own. Tony's curb stomp on Coco is probably my favourite scene in the show. Phil turning into a house is so funny for some reason. Highlight of the episode. Ironic that the final spark to start the war is Tony beating up a creep who deserved it, not any of the moments of greed prior. Tony saves A. J.'s life in the pool, one of my favorite scenes in season 6. I like to think the series ends with them just there in the dinner eating as a family. I loved the family from the first episode. The mob stuff is meh. Its amazing to look back at the first season and realize that was the good times. That it was all downhill from there. What a master piece.
