*Spoilers*
After 5 tedious and wandering episodes, the Sopranos is finally back on track. Christopher Moltisanti died at the top of the episode in a surprising accidental car accident and things forebodingly opened up from there. In one of the shows odder post-modern moments, Christopher died moments before actively putting on Scorsese’s”The Departed” soundtrack; specifically the half-ass cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” (by Rogers Waters feat. Van Morrison & The Band). Things are still brewing at a slow, but simmering pace, but we’re not entirely convinced this season is salvagable.
Update: Idolator has a few other songs featured in the episode which included the Pretenders, Lucinda Williams and Calexico. [HBO]
