Why can't we all just...

Tony is involved in a car accident before going on a journey of self discovery out west.

This is another classic episode with unforgettable character moments.

Certain aspects of the plot are impossible to discuss without spoiling, but it's safe to say that characters like Tony, Christopher, and A. J play a key role. Some of the dialogue in certain scenes is brilliant and loaded with irony and underlying truths.

The writers again explore philosophical themes about humanity and our place within the universe, with various sounds and images that imply connectivity between everything. A lot of contrasting scenery is shown between the peaceful, natural world and the materialism and excess associated with humanity and people like Tony. Some of it is left ambiguous, particularly what goes through his mind in the later scenes.

James Gandolfini gives another incredibly good lead performance and is supported well by the other actors.

The visual storytelling is some of the best of the show. Virtually every scene has something incredibly effective. In key scenes characters are filmed from certain angles, in atmospheric lighting conditions. So many interior and exterior shots are beautifully composed, whether it be to capture people, natural landscapes, or urban environments perfectly.
