Why does Tony not recognise Tony B.?
1This bothered me at the time and still does to a degree. It's such an obvious point of contention that I am sure you have discussed it elsewhere. If so, my apologies. I'm referring to the coma sequence where Tony/ Finnerty is outside the house and is met by Tony B. We, the audience, clearly know him as Tony Blundetto, Tony's cousin. However, in the credits, he is referred to as simply "man". This must mean that although Steve Buscemi plays the role, in the coma he is NOT Tony B. Is this why Tony doesn't recognise him? I read in an interview where Steve was absolutely distraught when his character was killed off, thinking he would be around for another series. Is it possible Chase wanted to make it up to him and give him a cameo role? Or is there another reason I'm not seeing? Maybe the point is that in the coma Tony IS Finnerty and that's why he doesn't recognise him. If you all discussed this already maybe you could point me as to where it is. Thanks.
