Tony, Melfi and the "Real Deal"

[BraccoFan]

OK -- I have to ask ...

Do you think Tony understood the real meaning behind the title "The Prince of Tides" -- or -- did he really think it was referring to the detergent -- or -- didn't he watch enough of the film to pick up on the real meaning ??? Just curious ...

Also -- what do you think Silvio will do with his knowledge of Tony's "real deal" with the "platonic friend of many years" ? He seemed suspicious when he said the word "friend" ... do you think he would maybe spill the beans either directly or indirectly to his wife who in turn would tell Carmella who in turn would figure out who that platonic friend is and get even more upset than she already is over Irina and Svetlana -- enough to decide to file for separation / divorce ? Something has to push her towards that move and I don't even want to think about Tony having a "relationship" with Adriana - yuck ...

Another also -- if Silvio tells the "guys" that their relationship is responsible for Tony's bad moods and behavior -- what could that mean for Melfi ?

Again -- just curious about what the rest of you think ...

Carm couldn't get more upset, she's already kicked Tony out and is pretty determined to move on.

Probably nothing. If they did something to Melfi, Tony would be so pissed that he'd kill all the people responsible.

I'm certain Tony didn't think the movie was referring to detergent, LOL. Besides the different suffix -- tide v. tides -- Tony is a lot smarter than he is articulate or literate.

That said, I don't know what the title refers to either, but then I thought that movie was so pretentious and full of cliches that the only thing about it I really remember is James Newton Howard's score. I remember very little about the story.

I took it to be Tony's effort at a cute or humorous entre to reintroduce himself to Melfi and to plant the seed that his interest in her was no longer concerned with therapy. And it really was cute. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if a stupid article I'd read before the ep hadn't given it away with absolutely no warning.
