I'M A SOLDIER. YOU GOTTA REMEMBER THAT: In a season filled of grade-A episodes, last night's Sopranos may well be the pinnacle. But to say anything about its substance might ruin it for others, so let's save that for the Comments.

Every once in a while, a show can start off on a high level like this -- the creator has a vision, and takes his or her time to work things through and present interesting themes through a core set of characters. Think about ER's first two seasons, or Homicide: Life on the Streets. But to be at this level in the fifth season, in every episode? Extraordinary. Truly television at its best.
