The Chase Lounge

The scene when Bobby and Chris came over to lecture AJ was great. The generation gap was very obvious, it seemed like the style of dress and haircuts had a lot to do w/ it. Since Chris and Bobby are technically related to AJ, it would make sense that they would be the ones to tell him to stay away from Uncle Junior. When AJ stated that getting to Uncle Junior in his current capacity was "Difficult, not impossible", it showed how immature and inexperienced AJ really is, compared w/ those guys. Getting his lines from Godfather II remined me when Jackie Jr. held a wanna-be "sit-down" and rested his head on his hands like Michael Corleone.

haha AJ is funny......he probably got his strategys from ps2 games....lol

</p>

I wonder why AJ just didnt grab one of the guns in his own house unless Carmella got to them first like she told Melfi she cleared them all out. Also unless AJ didnt know where they were or had access to them.

</p>

He probably does not know where any might be.....Looks like Tony has some good hiding spaces from previous seasons..

</p>

I was thinking the same thing until Carmella said that she removed all of the guns from the house when she spoke with Dr. Melfi.

</p>

I'm really beginning to like AJ heheh

I hope he wont turn out to be all talk and no walk.

Interestingly, the best bit of performance from him, in this ep was the way he put the straw into his mouth. For me that was the one thing that showed his arrogance and stupidity, which of course mostly come from this crazy situation.
All the cursings and blow ups for me felt like he was overacting. But it is natural at this age...<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">

i agree with the "straw in the mouth" comment! also if you listen closely, he's slurping at the bottom of his cup and there is practically no soda/liquid left in that cup. how disrespectful, but great acting and exactly what he needed to do to display his attitude in that sequence.

I too am starting to like AJ more and more. I always found him pretty funny, he would say one or two lines an episode, and they would usually be hilarious. He's showing a lot of anger issues this season too, perhaps he'll have the same problem as Tony? (like father like son)

</p>

I hate to re-raise a point that I had made earlier, but I feel like it might have gotten lost in the shuffle.

How do we think Carm (and now that he's awake, Tony) would feel about AJ trying to buy a gun?

They lost it when he got busted breaking into his school. Will Chris and Bobby Bacala tell Tony about AJ trying to get a gun?

The subject hasn't really been addressed here, but I think its potentially a fairly sizeable plot point, and definitely one worth thinking about in advance.
