@AgentCell ... People in general don't appreciate subtlety. Its how we end up with movies like Transformers 2 :)

I was totally ok with her not saying it to Tony, it really was the only coherent thing possible with her (really great) character. Though, I wish Tony would have knew some other way and would have made that guy taste his hellish fury.

@xxxBakeneckoxxx Then she should do it herself. People are always quick to act when someone else is doing the heavy lifting. This Dr is feeling tough but she should do it. She should go through and experience it fully what it means to kill someone. And see the downside to such an action and the price. justified or not. She might not be so eager to do it.

This and Band of Brothers are the greatest shows ever created for tv.

"Tony, I love your cannoli."

@SubwayRatt "The 'moral, ethical choice' argument doesnt really hold"? What about the morality of somebody who doesn't want to resort to violence in response to being the victim of violence? There are countless women who would have done the exact same thing, not to mention the fact that there are many rape victims who feel horribly embarrassed and ashamed of what happened to them and don't want to let other people in or open up about it.

94% of rapists never spend a day in jail to to our fucked up justice system. And most rapists will rape again. If I were in her shoes, I would have had him killed.

Shoot I wished she told a friend to tell a friend . then it eventually got back to Tony, SOmething!

@taxmonkey123 smells like bullshit. sure, the world doesnt work that way, but the question remains what would you do if you were in her shoes. i dont think even mother theresa could sit and do nothing like melfi did. not only that but the guy got off on a legal technicality as i recall so the "moral, ethical choice" argument doesnt really hold. melfi also had an obligation toward other helpless women who could be raped by this guy.

I think I speak for most of the viewers in that I would have loved to have seen Dr Melfi confess to Tony the truth about what had happened. In fact, I was desperate for it to happen and was left so, so disappointed at the end of the episode when Melfi decides against it. But the beauty of the Sopranos is that it never gives the viewer what they want and instead has the balls to portray its message and on reflection it was the perfect ending for the show as Melfi would never have sunk to crime.
