The Contractor

A really fun episode, giani is funny, so are Frank and Robert. A shame they didn't use supporting cast as much as they should have.

Doing business with your friends can easily lead to problems, and this episode does a decent job of showing that with plenty of humor. There are a lot of good jokes, and although Gianni is shown in a worse light than during his previous appearances, both as a friend and as a professional, it is not as bad as when the show does the same thing with the main characters.

Peter Boyle has a lot of screen time in this one and, while he is great as usual, it makes me sad to see how bad he looked in seasons 8 and 9 due to his illness. It is almost like it is a different person. Even the way he talks is different, his voice is weaker. He lost none of his acting skills, but the physical limitations are obvious.

As a side note, it is ironic to see Gianni call Ray "big nose", since Gianni's nose is both bigger and more crooked than Ray's.
