November 22, 20205 yr I've seen it 20 times, but every time he says "tomato sauce for your ass" I laugh out loud.
November 24, 20205 yr Fuck... forgot about the Rhode island mob lol. When the one guy says missing chromosome... Not proud of the girlish laugh I had

Btw the most disturbing image on the show? Vito at the gay club lassoing the "watch your cornhole, bud" guy. I'm at the point in the show where Vito's nephew or somesuch got beaten down by racehorse Sally. Can't unsee that image and know it's coming again soon. "Mustang" Sally?

Been a long time since I watched it, but iirc Tony was giving Paulie major grief about not kicking up enough upstairs. In desperation cause he's striking out everywhere, Paulie robs and ends up murking his mom's bf. There's a brief scene of Paulie giving Tony a big envelope and a quick pleased look by Tony, with no idea nor care how Paulie got it. Edited November 25, 20205 yr by Wade

I think it was actually Sylvio who was giving him shit about his lack of commitment and Paulie started wondering if Tony might wack him.
November 25, 20205 yr The Tony / Livia relationship was fantastic television. The manner and different means in which she tormented her son were priceless. There's a scene in her home where she's whittled Tony down to nothing and he's had enough, walks quickly out of the house and falls down the steps, his gun falling out of his jacket to the concrete. The cameras cuts to Livia, chuckling at her son's impotency and failure to negotiate the steps. Great, great television. Couldn't find the clip but it was / is priceless.
November 25, 20205 yr Tony's emotional health was pretty normal compared to Livia's. Jesus, she was an extreme case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

You're right. Also, I had forgotten it all occurred when Paulie was being played for a fool by Johnny (bolded). Such a good fucking show. Paulie has an angry confrontation with Silvio, who tells him his earnings are low and Tony is beginning to doubt his loyalty. He runs into Carmine and greets him effusively; he is shocked as he realizes that Carmine has no idea who he is. He learns that his mother's friend Minn keeps all her savings under her mattress. He breaks into her house thinking she is out, but she stumbles upon him in her bedroom and he suffocates her with a pillow. He goes to Tony, greets him effusively, and gives him a large envelope of cash. They smile at each other, on good terms again.

November 26, 20205 yr The art dealer who liked to play jokes... that was Tony's best gumah or however you spell it. Can't remember how they fizzle out but jesus what a piece of ass

November 26, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, Cousin Strawberry said: She is making him breakfast and has an accident. Still not coming to mind. It's amazing because I just finished watching the series last month for the first time, saw this thread, and thought I'd rewatch it since I wasn't following along closely. The show's tits.
November 26, 20205 yr Rewatching for the fourth time (and buying each season as I go since no more HBO). The Tony and Carmela scenes from the end of Season 4 has to be some of the best acting in a series ever. There is no better show.
November 26, 20205 yr 2 hours ago, Cousin Strawberry said: She is making him breakfast and has an accident. Tony visiting her in the hospital and telling her he’s going back with Carmela is a great moment in asshole lore. I’m Team Oksana. She’s Tony’s best gumar. The youngest. The hottest. The original. The nudest. Talks trash to Russians in Russian.
November 26, 20205 yr Just now, Bogeywon said: Have you heard the good news? He has risen Yeah, we met thanksgiving, remember?
November 26, 20205 yr Turk Pipkin deserved an Emmy for that episode. Would also be a good day to bring up that the Sopranos was probably the most clever show in history on how it dealt with "holiday episodes."
November 27, 20205 yr One of the biggest themes of the Sopranos, at least to me, are the scores of ambiguous scenes. The most interesting one to me was if that cop really did kill Chris's dad or if it was just a ploy for Tony to get Christopher closer and more loyal to him.
November 27, 20205 yr I forgot about Paulie killing and robbing that old battle axe. Not a good look for my guy. I guess Silvio is the most lovable character. I want to experience his description of the “Y.O. Thanksgiving”.
November 27, 20205 yr Meadow is thiccer than a bowl of oatmeal in Season 3. Wood. Would. Finer than frog hair.

I was just thinking of that the other day. I still don't think the guy he killed had anything to do with it. Like you said, it was Tony's way of getting Chris closer to him.
November 27, 20205 yr If only AJ had been born without a larynx the show would have been perfect. Every time he said something or was in any scene it set the show back. Must have taken acting lessons from Sofia Coppola.

Like you said, it was Tony's way of getting Chris closer to him. Sure, but it’s not really explained why Tony wanted the guy dead. He’s a retired cop and completely useless to Tony. If Tony were under indictment and the retired cop was going to testify, yeah I get it at that point. I think it was favor for Chris. Tony gave Chris numerous passes that would have gained his undying loyalty. Edited November 28, 20205 yr by billfromlaketravis
November 28, 20205 yr Didn’t Chis’s dad die when he was still a baby? Why would Tony wait 30 years to kill him?
November 28, 20205 yr That whole sequence was captivating to me. The thing that this show does well is making these people seem human then remind us they are monsters in the same episode. Chris broke in, knocked the guy out and cuffed him, only to sit on the couch and watch TV until he woke up, then killed him. Michael Imperioli would always put this look on Chris' face when Chris was in the zone that was truly psychotic.

Tony requires his kids to be at Sunday dinner and then leaves to bang a whore or murder Matt Drinkwater. Weird juxtaposition.

I thought that but he genuinely acted like he had no idea who Chris was talking about. He did apologize right before Chris shot him but I thought it was just him being desperate. Anyone know if Dickie Moltisanti was made at the time he was killed? Was he dead before Tony and Jackie Aprile we’re made?
November 28, 20205 yr I thought that the cop was so dirty, he couldn't remember all the dirty deeds he'd done.

December 10, 20205 yr On 12/8/2020 at 10:39 AM, Cousin Strawberry said: He is such a miserable prick. Reminds me of myself at times. No, I'm nothing close to Tony Soprano but kinda like that "happy wanderer" scene with Melfi... sometimes I'm just an asshole (like most of Surly) for no good reason. All the shit y'all give Bobby, and rightfully so, this shit here cracks me up and was probably his best moment in the show besides the fight scene with Tony.
