Only, I thought it was too much like when Michael Corleone sat in front of his Tahoe Lodge some 30 years ago, at the end of the movie, with the dry leaves blowing around the pool.
I thought this episode was threading water, somehow just trying to gain momentum after the long hiatus. And I’m wondering, considering the fuss about Gandolfini repeating the role for this season, if there will be more. If not, I foresee TS lying in a pool of blood, dead, by same pool.
The bear must be a metaphor for Tony himself, prowling around the house.
