Quote:(last year Steve Buschemi wrote that great episode where Paulie and Chris get stranded in the Pine Barrens with the Russian)No, he just directed it. The story and script were written by their regular team of writers/directors. I still hope that the Russian guy reappears, but with Paulie in jail and friction developing between him and Tony, they need to wrap that up first. That episode seems to be just one of those unique stories they throw in that really have very little to do with the rest of the season, like in Season 1 when Tony and Meadow went to look at schools or that Christopher Columbus episode from this season. I think Melfi's rape will definitely come into play again. There's very little left to do with Tony in therapy. How many more breakthroughs can they possibly have? They need to mix it up a little bit and do something interesting with her character.
