I’m half drunk and watching Proshai Livushka right now and I have questions

I’m not about to go on some single malt diatribe or anything. Just let me ask you a couple or three things.

First, do you think Ray Curto would ever have been written to be a rat if the producers hadn’t needed to do that ham-handed product placement for Office Depot? He was never a major character. He didn’t even have an arc, although the way they handled the crew’s reaction to his death was clever.

Do you think Charmaine’s ham-handed Vesuvio plug and their new pastry chef Bobby Vazquez was the writers’ way of poking fun at the same product placement?

Second, Junior is wearing the same pinstriped suit to the funeral that he had made for the dinner the boys had for him in season one. Does he ever wear a different suit from that through the rest of the series? I’m sure he does, right?

Third, was there any particular reason to have Pussy appear in the mirror of the closet when Tony opens the door to get a bottle of booze?
