I really liked his killing of the rat in the episode "College". I liked it mostly because he doesnt just kill the guy but because they have a conversation while he does it and i like how tense the scene was when the rat was looking around the trailer. Kill against ralph was also pretty cool.

When phill meets vitos wife he tells her that there has confirmation through the grape vine the Vito is gay.

He says the person had no reason to lie, so probably talking about finn.

Who told phill? Is it Paulie again?

Mine is Meadow goes missing while volunteering in Kenya over the summer. Tony, his family and his crew all travel over to find her. Wacky hijinks ensue as two very different cultures meet. Paulie befriends a local tribe, AJ gets cornered by lions. It's called Sopranos on Safari

Oh my god Christopher. This made me laugh out loud. 😹

we see chris and albert bail

furio too

what about Eugene?

presumably he's renting that location for the card game?

he can't well just leave the bodies there

so what do they do with them?

When Livia laughed at Tony, when he fell, should have been the last time we saw her on screen. What a hateful woman.

What a great actress.

Richie had been in prison for 15-20 years. Does his time then rats when he gets out of prison.. lol kid always was a dumbfuck

Remember when Chris finds out that Vito is gay and he comes back to the Bing. The hurried walk he walks to come tell the crew about Vito always cracks me up. Its like he was overflowing with that information and cannot hold it in anymore and has to tell the crew. 😂

Right after Massive Genius and Hesh have their conversation of suing eachother, Paulie is pulling off a bulletproof vest saying that’s fucking depressing. What’d he just do?

Tony and Carmela and AJ are eating at a restaurant then Meadow is rushing to go in. Then the whole thing ends. What’s up with that?

i think David Chase was playing a joke on us

he knew that 25 years later

guys would be spinning elaborate business theories

"it makes completely sense --- discrete distribution of cocaine, passing under the radar of the dea and fbi"

In S1 finale, when Tony whacks Chucky you can see Chucky’s boat is named Villain III.

Junior is villain 1, Grab Bag is villain 2, Chucky is villain 3.

Mad ripe detail. $4 / lb

carmela always wanted meadow to not get involved with the family business --she even prefered her date noah. carmela was also shown to be quite cunning, especially when she blackmailed her neighbour into getting accepted into that college. taken in all that, it got me thinking that perhaps it was carmela who ordered the hit in order to sway meadow away from the family business and into medical school which she later pursues. thoughts?

Im at the episode where AJ gets expelled from his school. At some point Tony goes to Melfi and she asks him what future he sees for his kids. For Meadow he says she might be a pediatrician, when she asks for AJ he says " in my business? forget it, he would never make it".

I think this is the main thing bothering him about AJ and that is a big reason in my opinion why AJ keeps screwing up and being the way he is. I think subconsciously he is defying his dad will which is to have one day a son capable of standing in his shoes.

I think even if AJ would do well in school, have a good behaviour, but show that he is not capable of being a successful wise guy, he would still be disappointed. AJ subconsciously knows it. At least in the form of he will never be good enough no matter what for his dad unless he becomes like him, which he doesnt want to.

She says it’s sexist and generally just didn’t jive with the characters

What do you have to say to her?

I’m watching the show for the first time, and just finished that episode (s3e4). At the beginning of the episode, Dr. Melfi admits she’s been “charmed by a sociopath”. She does want to keep him as a patient which is why she hasn’t tried to send him on to a bahvioral therapist, but because she’s a good doctor, she brings it up to Tony and he immediately goes on the defensive and he gets angry and thinks she’s pawning him off on someone else. Dr. Melfi is raped that night.

My first thought was that Tony ordered it to get back at her or try to convince her that she needs him. At their next session, he seems to be trying to get her to admit that something happened. Much more interest than in a common car crash. He also doesn’t seem surprised that she is jumpy when the cane falls and startles her. Then they have the following exchange:

Dr. Melfi: You can’t control everything that happens.

Tony: but you can get pissed off.

M: and then what? Lose control?

T: who said anything about that? You direct your anger where it belongs.

M: you have panic attacks. Panic occurs when feelings of anger, revenge, whatever overwhelm you. That’s where behavioral therapy comes in. It can teach you to control those triggers.

Tony: then how do you get people to do what you want?

—————

Then she sees the employee of the month photo at the wrap place, and runs away. Next scene she has the dream where she’s being raped and the dog (Tony) saves her. She goes to her therapist and makes makes clear that she knows she could have Tony have that asshole squashed like a bug if she wanted.

In the finals session of the episode, Tony brings up behavioral therapy on his own and says he’d be open to it, but Dr Melfi says no. Tony looks at her almost menacingly and she breaks down crying and he comforts her. Dr Melfi does, however, maintain her professionalism, almost in defiance of Tony. She tells him to sit in his chair so they can’t continue. He looks confused and asks, “do you want to say something?”, and Dr. Melfi responds with simple and solemn, “No.”

Tony gets everything he wanted in the end, everything except Dr. Melfi admitting what really happened.

I suggest you go back and rewatch that episode in this light and tell me what you think. Is Tony capable of such manipulation? Could he be that cruel with someone he supposedly cares about? I suppose I’ll find out more as I continue.

Anybody else find it weird that, in Many Saints, Dickie makes Giuseppina--His father's..wife--his comare? I don't think that would have flown with the other members of their thing. Infamia!

One thing I can count on… on about 95% of the posts on this sub, is someone saying that Quasimodo predicted this… Christ

First Sit Down

Sunny summer day, in the epicenter of their turf.

Satriale’s, surrounded by warm food & familiar faces.

Tony walks boldly to Junior, not a shred of fear seemingly. He’s got a long term game plan.

He sells it, everybody is routing for him. And because of this, he’s about to take the reigns as boss

Tony still has a light in his eye, still has a hope in this life

Final Sit Down

In the middle of a cold night, dead of winter. In a frigid, clandestine metro transportation junk & repair hub. Scrapped and stripped bus parts line the walls

Surrounded by people who aren’t necessarily strangers. But people who are not much more.

Tony was running a skeleton crew before the war, and now he’s closer to zeroed then ever before.

He goes into that meeting, which is essentially a mish mash of fold out chairs and tables. Plastic water bottles still in the generic grocery bag they were hauled out in.

There’s a scene in the show seasons prior, one that was in between Jacky Jr’s Wake & Funeral. Where Paulie calls for a sitdown about Ralphie owing him 50k

Tony clearly doesn’t give a fuck. And the sitdown is held at some random table, out in the open. In some unnamed industrial sector — this is highly reminiscent of that very scene

To boot: Tony’s seemingly decade long RICO case is proven unfolding, and his once ‘beat any case’ lawyer is suddenly more interested in boobs on a security camera. Rather than giving any more energy of enthusiasm towards keeping his client in the game.

Neil Mink was ready to reap his harvest

And here comes this guy, to a meet with two guys. One of which openly pushed the war onto him; the other, who has snaked him numerous times in the past.

Little Carmine was a slippery fuck. And even though he seems like he wasn’t like his Carmine Sr. If you look closely, the line, ”it’s common knowledge the guys retarded” was also spoken by the man running that same dwindling crew

The guy took his earnings and moved to Florida, while every soon to dead or in the can. Meathead took each other out, in a virtual no-man’s land of Fedsville.

Not once do the Feds ever bring the guys name up. Gotta remember, if these were real people — it’s a good thing to NOT be regularly featured in the show

But then again, Little Carmine talked funny, so yeah. Even if he’s largely off the radar to our knowledge, still comfortably alive, and essentially thriving — it’s common knowledge. And I’m not gonna be the one to contest that

Johnny Sac was somebody that vouched for Tony, countless times. Through thick and thin. And he was long gone by that point. Tony’s relationship to NYC without Johnny had already proven to be a shit show

His collections have already pledged to New York, his top earners are long gone. His best soldiers are all dead & gone. His dwindling management was sent to their graves just days prior to

On top of that, his remaining crew was shit talking him in unison. All in agreement, this guys fuckin it all up. All While Ton is literally just walking into the next room, possibly still in ear shot even (Benny at the safe house, Tony just gets to the top of the steps and he’s already yapping)

His wife was nearly shaken down by him just a few episodes prior.

His daughter’s bright, bustling, and hopeful future is now amounting to saving mafioso’s.

His young adult son is aimless in life, and just got out of a stent in a laughing academy

There’s no Junior to consult. There’s no Chrissy. There’s no Silvio to pick up the pieces, and keep the ship sailing.

No Ralphie to bring in millions. No Vito either, for that same matter of fact

No Big Puss. No Ade & Chrissy double dates. Bobby to bring him collections.

Albert’s in prison, biggest crew in the fuckin family

No more Eugene, Chrissy, and/or Furio hits. Nobody to saw up, and hide the remains.

One of his last that he loved as a brother, Blundetto, is not only gone. But he’s still reeling the pile of shit this guy put into full butterfly affect

Melfie canned him. Not before His image of his father & mother is shattered. He knows the truth now.

Hesh, the fatherly figure of his life. Was all but gone now too.

So what’s left?

Paulie? Who’s already gone behind his back, and taking collections of Dick Barone’s kid. Paulie kisses the ass of whoever’s top dog. And by the looks of it, T’s spent

Patsy? Who had his brother whacked by the guy. Was a cunt hair away from being mowed down along with Silvio.

Benny Fazio? Criminal mastermind

To top it all off. Not only had Tony proven time and time again, to not just his own crew. But with the Blundetto scenario on full blast to the world — the man can, and will fuck every single person over for his own ass.

He will bend the rules to his own dismay, and call everybody else out for not following them.

With that, would somebody, say. one of the upcoming bosses of New York. Trust a guy like Tony on the stand?

Where they will have him with his back against the wall. Possibly over a decades worth of surveillance, wire taps, & testimonies.

Would any of his own crew even trust him?

Anyways~ still goin this asshole, discontinue the lithium, took the air out of my whole fuckin punchline asshole.

A blonde with big tits, and a hat full of Viagra

Also, I’m gonna need an ETA on that mixed ahi with seared greens & Arnold Palmer. Or are we still waiting on the Philly Cheesesteak & Coke?

Check out my Video on the Sopranos!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8InGIvOdYzg

This little gem has to be one of the strangest and most creative lines in the show. I mean who thinks this up?

S4E4 The Weight: Meadow and a handful of other students are listening to a pitch to volunteer at the South Bronx Law Center. "Last year with our help, over half a dozen crack babies were reunited with their natural mothers, several of whom are in recovery."

So.......... some of those crack babies were reunited with mothers who AREN'T in recovery?

Anyone catch a wave of nostalgia watching this thing of ours? I was born in 1988, so seeing AJ play N64 and the other entertainment technology of the earlier seasons makes me remember my childhood. Also, the crew and other characters listen to doo wop in their cars. For any Philly natives, we have a station called 98.1 WOGL that used to play Golden Oldies, especially doo wop. Now the “oldie” stations play 80’s and early 90’s stuff like Pearl Jam. Anyway, I’m gonna go eat a grilled cheese off the radiator and jerk off into a tissue.

Just thinking about how great the writing is on that show. The writers probably thought “How can we make Tony’s kids the exact opposite of Tony?”

Tony is perceived as a big, strong, tough, powerful, aggressive dude… whereas his son AJ is the exact opposite. AJ is small, weak, emotional, fragile human. That must really upset Tony lol.

But at the same time, Tony and AJ have similarities both are selfish, impulsive, have panic attacks and are depressed. In some ways they are the same person. The only difference is Tony hides it to the outside world and puts on an act, while AJ is honest and truthful about who he is.

I think that’s why Tony struggles with it so much, freaking about being someone else because he doesn’t necessarily want to be a mobster, it’s just the life he was born into and he chose it because it was convenient.

It’s an interesting dynamic because AJ is essentially a mirror of Tony when you look beyond surface level, but on surface level to the outside world they are complete opposites.

It’s also interesting with Meadow that she chose a better path than Tony and Carm and decided to educate herself instead of taking the easy road like AJ, which she could have easily done the same. And she chose to be a lawyer with good intentions because she apparently believed in justice system. Meanwhile, Tony is the exact opposite…a criminal. She chose to break stereotypes and go legit instead of living off of blood money

But in th end it seemed like she might’ve become a mob lawyer and maybe wasn’t that concerned with actual justice and she married a kid with mob ties.whatever happened there

Sorry I'm late, my goomar threw a roast at me.

Seen this on another sub...

Looks like Junior is back to him old self.

...Sil's "DOOAAAUUUUGGHHH!!" during his argument with Paulie near the end of season 4 is just amazing. The raw passion and sheer volume of it still makes me burst out laughing. Honestly, that whole scene in general remains one of my favorites, due to how much of a stone cold badass Sil is.

"I'M JUST TELLIN' YOU HOW YOU'RE BEING FUCKIN' PERCEIVED!"

So if Gloria wasn’t going to get a cinematic death, then who did? I’d say Palmice and Pussy. The Russian interior decorator too if what Christafah said was correct when he saw him get a bullet in da head. And don’t tell me to go shit in my hat because I don’t like that kind of tawk (waves hankey)

It seems the arc and vision of the show was about Tony and his mom. Why would they not just recast the part after Nancy Marchand passed away. It's not like they didn't have Vito play two characters and the Patsy Philly stuff.

Everything about that scene is pretty uncomfortable to watch, but as soon as Paulie covers her face with the pillow and realizes she's going to die, the "OH NOOO!" always makes me burst out laughing.

It's darkly funny but still realistic.

Fitting for a malignant cunt.
