After Vito's brother has been put into a coma by Mustang Sally with the golf club, Vito says "I want this cocksucker to bleed from his ass", and years later he ends up being killed having a pool cue shoved up his ass.

Then, when having dinner with Tony, Gigi, and Johnny Sack, Ralph says he should take care of Mustang Sally, and that he'll "take him apart at the joints". Next year, Ralph ends up having his head and hands removed.

You guys think Quasimodo wrote this episode?

You telling me Vito the 400 lb meat ball going down an incline snuck up right behind Jackie Jr and clipped him in broad daylight and got away with it.

That solidified Jackie Jr being the dumbest character.... not even AJs lame attempt at Death could beat this.

His family turned his back on him and wouldn’t protect him. He could have flipped and avoided being killed. While it whitnish protection, he could pull a Henry Hill and go back to a life of crime. He wouldn’t even need to bring his family with him.

Anyways, I’m off to a penguin exhibit. I’m going before the crank wears off.

He was a kid acting like how kids would. His dad is a gangster and that's not something normal kids will have to deal with. To me all his actions are completely understandable. Just wondering why people hate on him so much.

Yeah, Tony strangled Febby while dropping Meadow off at college. Yeah, he ran over Mahaffey in broad daylight. All violent, all criminal, but in the words of Paulie, "the game is the game". Not exactly flag-saluting types. However, the real red flag was when Tony gave Meadow the car that had belonged to Eric Scatino. That's when the sociopathy really shows.

At best, this shows a total lack of empathy and understanding of the human condition. Tony didn't even consider how Meadow might be perceived driving around in her friend's car while attending school with said friend. He thought she would genuinely be happy to receive a gift, even being her friend's car, especially considering he didn't even come up with a lie to say how he got it ("something like that""

At worst (and this is where I land), it was completely intentional. It was his version of the Johnny Boy Satriale moment: justifying violence and exploitation to numb his daughter to his way of living. It was a way to get Meadow's hands dirty in a public fashion. It was a way of saying, 'You don't like how I do things?' Well, you sure don't mind the perks."

When she pushes back and rejects the car, he flips. He launches into that moral tirade: how Davey brought it on himself, how people shouldn't make bets they can't pay, how she's on her moral high horse. He even talks about how he would sell the car to buy more stuff for the family as a reminder, and his "work" pays for their lifestyle. The car wasn't a gift but a direct statement to Meadow that "you benefit from this life whether you like it or not."

Up until this moment, Tony had tried to keep family and business as separate as possible (which was hard, considering season 1 was all about feuding with family), but in this moment, it slipped away. He gave his daughter something that would directly implicate her in his criminal activity in a public manner. In Tony's eyes, accepting the car would be accepting of him and all that he does.

I am convinced at this point most of these people put prompts on whatever LLM they use to create posts because they are even beyond discussions, they are straight up bullshit nonsense gibberish questions

Was reading through some comments about the best hitman, and a lot of people rightfully pointed out that when Tony is truly in a crisis or needs something done urgently and done well, he turns to Sil. So, after killing Ralphie, why do you think Tony calls Chris for the coverup instead of Sil? One could say it’s because killing someone as high up as Ralphie could cause dysentery among the ranks, but I’m skeptical that Sil would have done this if he was the one let in on the “secret” about Tony killing Ralphie. Please regale me with your thoughts!

Cut to Janice, nearly bottoming out by drivjng that classic car into the driveway too fast, playing some loud wild arythmic native music like "ayieayieayieayieoowoowoowoowoowoowoo," and eagerly opening her disability check.

/ A family gets carjacked and afterwards the guy says "F---ing ni----s!!" And his wife gives him a dirty look for being a racist and he says "well who else? Huh? Who else?" / cut to Tony looking at a photo of the car

If anyone watched and found out of if Carmela did know what witness protection meant for Tony or other members of the crew, please let us know.

She seemed to knock it off if she was inquiring about someone and she’s told that he’s in witness protection. She was only slightly concerned about Adriana. She’d meet widows of former partners who went to witness protection and sympathize with them. For example, pussy’s wife. but she never probed or empathized in an actual way. Did she know that witness protection meant was killed by Tony or allies?

Out of the hundreds of characters, who storyline screwed them over the most? Junior story shrinking and getting dementia Vito finally getting a story but he’s gay Buscemi getting foot run over then killed Christopher with drugs and losing Ade

Just some examples

I’m currently rewatching the Sopranos,and Tony just told Paulie he thinks Puss might be doing the simulcast. Paulie takes Puss to the bath house but then Puss says he can’t go in for a schvitz even when Pauline informs him of the secret about Russian longevity?!! Then Puss says he can’t go in cause of his back but in the same episode he says he’s going to go sit in the tub to ease the pain. It’s the little things that make you think maybe just maybe this guy might be hiding something.

One of the things I find interesting about the show is the historical/cultural references made by uneducated New Jersey wise guys. How does Ralph know who Sir Walter Raleigh is, a random 17th century English nobleman? How does Patsy know who Ralph Bunch is, a 1940’s civil rights activist? How does Brainless the Second know about Louis XIV’s finance minister, Da Something? These just seem like such erudite references for people who didn’t make it past high school.

I've just noticed this one.

David Scatino owes Richie eight large. Assuming it's at 2 to 2.5 points a week then his weekly payment is only $160 - $200.

He hands him a fair chunky envelope but states that it's £200 dollars light. So is he paying off principal in addition to vig?

Alternatively is Richie collecting monthly maybe?

Anyway, 4 dollars a pound.

This thing of ours has infiltrated my inner monologue

Like today I'm minding my own business getting some sun then I got bitten by a bee, and the first thing that pops in my head is "cocksucker" in Paulie's voice

Then while sitting and enjoying the warm rays the clouds block the sun and then I shout at the clouds "Hoooooo"

The other day I cook some peas but then I overcooked them and I screamed at them "motherfuckin goddamn overcooked peas"

Anyway, $4 a pound

Paulie's mother did nothing wrong.

She was a saint - unlike that malignant cunt...I can't even say her name.

When Carmella bumps into Melfi in the grocery store I noticed the contrast of their appearances first. Melfi looks like she just stepped out of a catalogue shoot for a women in business clothing line, while Carmella looks like 12 miles of bad road. Melfi comes across as helpful and concerned, stating she has been calling the hospital, offering to speak with doctors on Carm’s behalf, and offering to serve her clinical services to anyone who needs them. But when Carmella walks away, the camera stays on Melfi’s face, and she gives a look (a fucking glance!) that I can’t interpret. It’s a smirk, so I’m thinking Melfi finds the whole ordeal funny or no more than a tabloid. But I don’t know she would feel that way. Anyone have a good explanation here?

Have you guys learned anything about yourselves by watching this show…? I mean, like it turns out that I kind of understand T’s penchant for violence, I feel bad, but I get it. I don’t necessarily hate the happy whishling guy, but slow walkers, cops that give a ticket when you are just over the speed limit, people who can’t read the room, in my head I absolutely LOSE IT. And it’s not their fault, I understand that! I have a semester and a half of Sopranos under my belt, I know what I’m talking about, but the rage just hits at the weirdest times!

I also learned that I’m a complete and utter Adrianna when it comes to walking the line between what is right and wrong, I am easily tricked…I would not make it in that world for under a week. And the FBI? I would also panic and have NO IDEA what to do or how to act.

Anyway, what about youse guys?

He could’ve saved his life by becoming a government witness. And he could’ve relocated with his family.

I liked at the end when Tony says, “I guess we really are The Sopranos,” and it cuts to black, beautiful ending.

Maybe it is the wine that is making me emotional, but can I just say that from the bottom of my black heart, that I enjoy coming to this sub reddit to escape the regular-ness of life, but going on other sub reddits for television shows or podcasts or stuff like wrestling or even Howard Stern, a lot of the fandom just hate post for the stuff they watch and it gets brutal. The conversations become rage bait and reactionary and no one is having a good time it seems. This sub reddit, sure we just repeat quotes and that can get tiresome at times but there are also great discussions about the show, but I would rather come in here and read repeated quotes and talk about this thing of ours than even partake in any conversations about current shows or podcasts that I am listening to or watching. So thanks for being a dope sub reddit that has added value to my life. I think what is even cooler is that even though there is discourse over the show's ending and endless debates, that a lot of the discourse for the show is not as prevalent because it came out in a time before there was forced discourse over the quality of the show dipping like other current shows go through, so we can look back at this show that was pretty much near perfect for most of its run. Anyways Salut

I know all a yous love to screech about Adriana's arc but personally, Ralph's is so much better. She was a bimbo through and through but once Ralph goes from this heartless and sadistic criminal to a unconsolable mess of a father, his character truly deepens and enriches the overall show.

Sure, I still feel bad for Adriana and her ruthless death; Ralph's just hits different

I accidentally drove on Frelinghuysen Ave this morning en route to the airport, and it occurred to me that it's actually nowhere near the Esplanade. Whatever happened there?

God I’ve been waiting for Carmela to fuck somebody else I could of sworn it was going to be furio but finally the fucking school teacher. It’s about to Carmela Jesus Christ

What do you think Johnny Sack was like when he was an associate/solider? He’s not the biggest strongest guy. Do you think he was asked to do a lot of heavy work? Or more extortion and union rigging?? Can’t tell much about his dad from context of the show - like if he was also connected or not. Although he does live in Boston now

It's actually fucking wild to me that Chrissy didn't consider that the juices would keep cooking the steak after he took it off the grill. It's like he was more focused on talking to Tony abt whatever it was than the quality of the meatsh.

Edit: I'm glad Tony killed him
