I don't care for the Tony chasing the Doc stuff. Although, it does make me uncomfortable at times and that may mean it is effective. She certainly made the mistake in answering Tony's questions re why she won't date him. Opened the door for more violence between them.
I can see the power/control aspect and the tie in with the gangster mentality, but overall, I think it is getting too much emphasis.
I think the relationship (strained) between Tony and Carmela is excellent. Very raw and realistic. Overall, a slow opener, but with the long layoff, probably necessary to get people back into the story lines.
