Good bye Feech!!

[nasd1]

Damn did you see how Tony and Chris set Feech up? I swear i didn't see that coming. How about those nice knockers on Lorraine?

</p>

[Rightfielder21]

I thought it was great how they set him up.... I hope with him way for a while Tony B. comes a little more to the fore front...

</p>

[jglonek]

I'm not so sure that that's the end of Feech.. A different way to let him go, that's for sure, but I bet he's a little pissed. I'm sure he could always try to work something from prison, but that depends if he even realizes it was a setup or not.

</p>

[don corleone10]

I think Feech will figure out soon that Tony set him up. He was looking at cars when he was being shipped back to prison at the end of the episode

</p>

[Rightfielder21]

He knows... and we have not sen the last of him...

</p>

[jaypeso86]

I saw Robert Loggia on Pat Sajak's talk show on Fox News earlier in the year. He told Pat that he taped four episodes for this season. Seeing as thsi was the fourth episode I think we have seen the last of Feech for a while.

</p>

[Rightfielder21]

I didn't know that, the good thing about that is we will see more of Tony B.

</p>

[chicoxl]

First of all, WOW! Didn't see that coming at all.

For all of you who didn't agree that Feech was following the path of Richie Apriel, note that Tony S. confirmed my beliefs. Feech WAS Richie all over again, and Tony knew it. Dispensing of him the way he did was brilliant. Purely brilliant.

I also think that he's done for a while. He might be mentioned in name, and maybe they'll show a few scenes of him in prison, stewing in anger, but I don't think we see anything vital from him again.

</p>

[Alas1119]

I didn't see that one coming at all...but my hubby did.

When Christopher and Benny ran their little shpiel about needing a place to store their truck and Feech jumped all over it, hubby said, "give 'em enough rope and they'll hang themselves..."

I thought he was referring to Christopher, but he was talking about Feech.

Brilliant move on Tony's part! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

</p>

[bushleaguer1]

Yeah, I didn't see that coming at all....it was a nice swerve.

Too bad though - I really liked the Feech character.

</p>

[Vinnie Kudione]

I knew something was coming here... kind of figured they were taking Feech inside his house to whack him. Was hoping that wasn't the case, though taking care of Lorraine and Feech in the same episode would be too much. Real creative way how they got rid of him though.

I know Feech is definite old school, but does anyone think that once he realizes Tony set him up.... will there be any chance of him flipping?

</p>

[cody206]

I thought they were going there to clip him. I was waiting for them to go inside then boom. Threw me off, that was creative.

</p>

[zerokarma]

I must confess I was never a fan of Feech so I am happy to see him go back to jail.

It was a great way to get rid of him, Feech was a greedy b*stard so he got what he deserved. His greed caused him to get sloppy and not be careful with his parol, he took it for granted. Normally he probably would never have a problem with his parol but it was a weakness that Tony could exploit without even having to fire a bullet, it was brillant.

Feech will likely die in prison now, he blew his second chance, he is too old now for a third chance.

</p>

[Zillajay23]

I hope that isn't the end of Feech it is entirely too early for his character to be done. Although he clashed with Tony and I would have eventially wanted him to be whacked because I always hate people who push Tony's buttons, I wish he could have stuck around. I didn't see that coming either though that was quite a little twist.

</p>

[Sopranogirl]

Tony was so clever to set Feech up in that way. He knew if Feech was clipped because of his seniority and respect in the family, he may have had to deal with some heavy fallout. In almost every scene he undermined Tony's authority and did not show the respect. As we saw in past episodes, with Tony B joke with Tony about his weight ala Jackie Gleason, and Uncle Jun with his (You never had the makings of a varsity althelete) Tony will not tolerate being undermined.
On a seperate note I thought it was kinda funny when Carm told Tony AJ was going with him they panned to the scene with Jackie Gleason,"humna, humna, humna". What a great show!

[Vinnie Kudione]

I think alot of it has to do with Feech using Johnny Sac to get rid of the stolen cars as well. There is definitely a strain on the Tony S./Johnny Sac relationship right now.

Between Little Carmine vs Johnny Sac and how Tony plays it, things will be very very interesting in the mob sequences.

</p>

[Paulie Walnuts04]

I think we have seen the end of feech and i think they only set him up like that because they really couldnt whack him for somethin that minor and he has alot of experince he was an ol timer who was well resoected and im gonna miss his charachter!

</p>

[Vesuvio]

Tony's plot was brilliant! Too bad, though, Feech was a colorful character.

</p>

[Soda drink]

All I have to say is What the f--k I did not see feech going this soon!! What a great show and man, it was brilliant in the way things panned out in the end but boy am I mad.

I really liked Feech, he had something truly unqie with him He was a character that I would definitely want to see explored. His stories, his demanor--it was great having him on the show in my opinion. RObert Loggia nailed him down perfect.

I loved how they showed him just filled with anger and how everybody else was laughing at Tony's rather bland joke.

ESPECIALLY PAULIE WALNUTS!!!! LMAO - talk about over-exaggeration!

Well, I really did take a liking to Feech La Manna. I wish he was still around...

</p>

[KenRaff75]

Does this mean Paulie's friend will get his lawnmower route back?

</p>

[4nthony]

i would guess so

</p>

[harmony2k66]

For David Chase, that had to be great having Loggia a part of his show. Chase has stated numerously how much of an influence David Lynch is on him, and if anyone enjoyed Robert Loggia as Feech La Manna, they should check out Lynch's 1997 film, Lost Highway. Loggia plays a mobster, Nice Guy Eddie, and he is great. He provides a scene right out of the Sopranos involving tailgaters. I saw a Lynch documentary where David talked about Loggia auditioning for the part of Frank Booth in Blue Velvet. Apparently Lynch was very late, and Loggia snapped and got in his face, screaming at him, and threatning. Lynch said he remembered that before he cast Loggia. Ok, sorry for ramblinbg, I don't know if there are any David Lynch fans on here, but if you want more Loggia being over the top, check Lost Highway.
And if you want another great show, that in my opinion is the second best show eve besides the Sopranos, check out David Lynch's Twin Peaks. David Chase has said in numerous interviews that he always pictured The Sopranos as Twin Peaks in the Meadowlands.

</p>

[West Re animator]

Wow, I really loved Feech but having Tony "learn his lesson" from Richie Aprile, and the brilliance and suddeness in which this was handled blew me away. This show constantly reminds you anything can happen. I would have NEVER in a million years thought Feech would be set up and sent back to prison. Amazing how no matter how much speculation we put in we never seem to get the best of Chase and Co.

That being said Loggia's role is already infamous on the show and his character was great. Too bad he's gone, I love the way they did it but he was a great addition. What are the chances he'll return? Get off on a technicality? Or possibly - and I know how absurd this sounds but - he could break out of prison and come after Tony. Ok, that's really out there. Maybe while breaking out he can find the Russian and they can take turns in revenge killings. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

[eruptus]

I have to say that I was completely surprised to see this. I just watched the episode and after analyzing it a bit, I think that this Feech-situation is a smart move from Chase. There are a lot of new characters and most of them haven't had a lot of screentime. Feech was such a dominating character in the first four episodes, that there wasn't room for Buscemi etc. Now that Feech is out of the picture, Tony B will take a bigger role.

I have to admit that after seeing 'Where's Johnny', I thought that Feech was going to be another Richie. I couldn't understand what was the point of his character. After this episode, I see the point. If this season is about Tony as a leader, this Feech-situation was a great set up for future plotlines. We saw how "mature boss-Tony" handled a possibly tricky problem. I'm sure that there will be bigger problems for him.

I really can't praise this show enough.

</p>

[bacala]

I too was blown away by Tony's decision. When he realized what was going on with Feech (him not laughing at his jokes) there was some music that I think ended up being the same Spanish music at the end, but at the time it sounded very asian a la Sun Tzu. Loved it!

</p>

[Johnnyo12]

What lesson did he miss from Richie?

</p>

[Cipriani]

I too was bummed that Feech is gone. Then again he was just Richie rehashed.

Who knows? Maybe Feech'll be back for Season 6.

</p>

[moth78]

actually, robert loggia's character in Lost Highway was named MR. EDDIE, not NICE GUY EDDIE. Nice Guy Eddie was the Chris Penn character in Reservoir Dogs.

</p>

[Soda drink]

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>What lesson did he miss from Richie? <hr></blockquote>

Well, Richie Aprile is almost an exact clone of Feech - Richie wanted what was his before he got sent a way--and he wanted it now and by any means necessary-and that is why Tony had to get rid of Feech, he was too much of risk.

</p>

[Alas1119]

Tony let Richie's hostility and undermining ways get too far and it almost came to a head...until Janice conveniently and unexpectedly blew him away.

Tony realized that Feech was just like Richie - undermining, hostile, lacked respect, showed no fear of him as a boss and would eventually cause problems. So he had to get rid of him.

But instead of conveniently having Feech killed (which may have caused a whole other set of problems among the "family") he dispatched him in a much more intelligent and clever fashion.

</p>

[brendantait]

I though for sure that Chrissy was going to whack Feech at his place. As soon as they drove up, I was expecting a murder. But the set-up was good; I knew he was going, but I didn't think that way, until the PO showed up! Good idea!

</p>

[Nick]

First of all I love Tony he is my favourite character. 2nd Feech was getting on my nerves, although he was entertaining, but everyone is losing site of what really happened here. Tony ratted him out. That in my book is a big no!
I'm in total shock. I cant beleive they ratted on feech. I dont even like feech but I actually felt bad for him. I would have felt better if he was wacked. I still cant beleive they F***ING Snitched. I dont care how many exuses you try to think up.<span style="text-decoration:underline">A RAT IS A RAT PERIOD!</span> Frankly Im Ashamed of that episode and the fact that they would let this happen on the sopranos. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=":evil">

</p>

[TWO GUNS GIANCARLO]

What kind of implications if any will this collusion between Tony, Chris, Silvio, and Benny Fazio have in the long run if it comes to light that they all played a part in not only sending Feech back to prison but also ratting him out. I do not think that the New York family(s) who do business with the Dimeo/Sopranos would look kindly on this fact. There is also the possibility that Chris could use this information to his benefit in the future and paint Tony in a less than favorable light. Also could the comment "f--- family, f--- loyalty"
which can be heard so prominently in the season five promo said by Christopher be referring to the resolution of the Feech situation. I know that Silvio said that Christopher thought that this situation was handled well but who knows the feelings he harbors deep down.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=":evil">

[season5dvdrecorder]

<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"> I didnt like feeches attitude anyway i knew he would either be whacked or done away with somehow. The way they set his ass up was awesome. I saw the whole thing coming and i just lit up.
