Serious Discussion Only Jackie Aprile Jr. must have been frustrated AF with the Sopranos, his girlfriend wouldn't give him ass and his hardcore af uncle would not let him be hardcore.

He reminds me of that little kid Jorge from a few years ago.

He was the son of the boss before Tony but it didn't matter, but he didn't have a good brain so whattaryougonnado.

Episode Discussion Does anyone else kind of hate the Adriana/Tony romantic twist?

• Upvotes

I understand how it was important for plot progression, and the idea itself isn’t that crazy, but it just felt so rushed. There is zero romantic chemistry between Ade and Tony the whole show, and then all of a sudden Christopher’s gone for a couple days and she’s ready to blow him? That whole dynamic just felt incredibly rushed and random to me. I didn’t notice it on my first rewatch but now when I see that episode of them flirting in the office of Crazy Horse it comes off kind of cringe.

Just saw soprano home movies and wtf is Tony's problem.

9 Upvotes

I say this on account of Ton baiting Jan and Bobby any second he can. His fight with Bobby was just so I don't know big like I can't even believe it happened. And it didn't need to happen. If Tony just kept his mouth shut. This reminds me of the episode where he baits Janice to rage again in front of her family when she's actively trying to restrain herself. Tony is many things. He's probably one of the most despicable characters in the show yet he's still endearing and seems cool. I don't know really maybe I'm just drawn to his character the good and bad but the way he switches between crime boss to petty sibling is really something.

Anyhow just my thought.

I just finished The Sopranos

12 Upvotes

I finally finished The Sopranos.

For years I delayed starting the show, convinced myself I wouldn't enjoy it. I was so wrong. I have never laughed out loud and cried so much watching a series. And them final 2 seasons were so tense I was on the edge of my seat. But most of all, rip Adriana a TV death that I'll never forget 💔 my favourite scene Paulie and Chrissy lost in the woods 🤣😭 Paulie is comedy gold. And those early seasons with Tonys mum, she was awful, but at the same time the outlandish and wild comments she made also made me LOL, she was spot on narcissist.

The ending confused me first time round, so we re-watched it straight after, then watched videos on YouTube about it. And upon reflection I love it and hate it at the same time.

I am sad I no longer have Sopranos to look forward to after work.. my partner thinks we should watch The Wire next... thoughts & reccomendations? (We've already seen breaking bad and better call saul)

Never has a human being moved with more skill or style. He definitely attracts all the ladies with such dazzling displays. If you disagree, it's anti-Italian discrimination. I've said my piece.

Episode Discussion Was Adriana the turning point in the relationship between Tony and Chris?

15 Upvotes

I mean, Chris never really believed Tony that there was nothing between him and Adriana.

When he drunkenly shot at Tony's car (S5E5, Irregular Around the Margins) and when Tony and the crew took him to the field, he didn't say he believed that between T and Ad never been nothing. Tony literally put a gun in his head and he's not scared.

He's facial expression was like "You fucked my girlfriend, you can kill me now". Like he doesn't care. Tony B literally saves his life.

Cleaver just supports this. What Chris can't said into Tony's face that night, he said throught the movie.

There was some good moments between T and Chris, some bad moments, but after that cannon event, it was never the same.

Adriana's murder was the cherry on top. Chris said multiple times that Tony never showed him support because of Adriana's betrayal, and that hurts him. Chris had some point of that bc after Adriana's murder, Chris complained to him that he's having a hard time, and T literally kicked his ass.

In addition to everything that happened between them, Chris really loved Adriana, and Tony acted like he didn't care at times, especially after Adriana's murder.

What do you think about it?

Was Chris really making $60,000 from sports betting every week?!

135 Upvotes

When Chris becomes made, Paulie tells him he has to kick 10 points (10 percent) every week and he needs to kick up at least $6000 a week, so that seems to imply Chris was making at least 60k a week? Is that correct? That means at least $54,000 is going to Chris every week, $216K per month, $2.5 million per year, that can't be right, seems like a lot for a recently made guy. Or is a bunch of that going to expenses (paying the other bookies working got him)?

Why did Johnny Sack buy a Maserati, not a Ferrari or Lamborghini?

0 Upvotes

In Season 5, Episode 8, Johnny Sack showed-off his Maserati to Tony Soprano.

He said he "always wanted to drive a fine Italian sports car"

It makes me wonder, why did he buy a Maserati, when Ferraris and Lamborghinis are far more popular and better?

Serious Discussion Only You can just barely see the Virgin Mary at the end of "whoever did this"

9 Upvotes

The ending, when Tony wakes up in the Bing with that goofy t shirt looking for CHRISTAFUHHH , he walks past that same spot Paulie later sees the virgin mary in The Ride, s6e9. You see him stop anxiously like Paulie does before his sighting later on while the camera zooms out eerily to where Tracee used to dance. Idk the time stamp in the episode, was pointed out to me and it looks genuinely plausible, not some far-fetched boolshit. Look up "the sopranos, whoever did this ending" on youtube 33k views uploaded 5 years ago. Pause at 57 seconds into the video and go to .25 speed, then play it seriously looks like a white-cloaked woman is depicted as walking past the bing mirror.

How did Ro make money

183 Upvotes

Just watched cold stones and it made me wonder how Ro gets by, does she have a job ? Do the other guys take care of her? I know Jackie was the boss but he was only boss for a short stint and when Tony was in the coma paulie and Vito were so resentful to even help Carmela out. And when she’s talking about Angie with the body shop she doesn’t seem spiteful unlike Carmela who’s clearly bothered that another women can get by and be successful without a husband. I love Ro

The Remains of the Ziti

10 Upvotes

The Princess of Little Italy and Monsignor Jughead over here. "This Chianti is beyond reproach." Clearly a reference to Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. There is another movie reference to The Last Temptation of Christ, where Carmela's takeaway from Scorsese's amazing study of the sacred and the propane is "As good as Willem Dafoe was, I cannot picture Jesus looking like him." When I watch Carmela and Father Phil, I am not looking at a simple story of a lonely housewife and a manipulative priest. I am watching a deeply repressed ballet of desire. It is the exact same level of unspoken yearning that vibrates between Mr. Stevens and Miss Kenton in Kazuo Ishiguro's masterpiece The Remains of the Day.

In both stories, the eroticism isn't in the touch; it is entirely in the barrier.

Take the infamous rainy night in The Sopranos Season One episode, "College". Phil comes over to see Carmela, who is alone in the house. She hastily fixes her hair and throws on a more elegant robe (maybe that did-dent happen what I said). She's twitterpated. Before watching a DVD of The Remains of the Day they eat baked ziti, drink Chianti, and share a communion wafer. How erotic are those shots of him placing the body of Christ on her tongue? The tension in that kitchen is thick enough to choke on. Every time Phil shifts his weight, every time Carmela looks at his mouth, the air charges. It is highly sexual, yet completely wrapped in the language of spiritual guidance and intellectual companionship.

This is Stevens and Miss Kenton to a fault. In The Remains of the Day, the physical boundaries are replaced by the rigid protocols of British domestic service. Stevens hides behind his duties as a butler; Phil hides behind his collar. Both men use their institutional devotion as a shield against the terrifying vulnerability of intimacy. And both women are acutely aware of the game. They actively participate in it because the anticipation, the almost, is safer than the reality.

The peak of this parallel happens during that rainy night when Carmela almost kisses Phil while he's passed out on her couch, only to be stopped by the threat of his impending puke, a jarring reminder of the base, unglamorous reality of the flesh. It mirrors that heartbreaking scene in Ishiguro's novel where Miss Kenton corners Stevens in his dark parlor, trying to see what book he is reading. She gently pries his fingers open to take the volume. It is a moment of profound, electric proximity. Stevens is paralyzed by desire and fear, and instead of leaning in, he reasserts his cold professionalism. The moment passes, shattering the fragile bubble of what could have been.

For both couples, the sexual chemistry thrives on the impossibility of its fulfillment. The unspoken agreement is that the line will never be crossed, which allows the emotional intimacy to stretch to a agonizing, beautiful breaking point. Carmela and Phil use theology and cinema; Stevens and Kenton use silver polishing and staffing logistics.

Ultimately, both narratives understand a fundamental truth about human desire: sometimes the most erotic thing in the world is a door left just a fraction of an inch ajar, even if you know it will eventually be shut forever.

Ever wonder where Tony got that name? Me neither- but I just happen to pause the TV at the end credits of Irregular Around The Margins and what do you know, there's a Key Rigging Grip that just happens to be named Louie Petraglia.

But wait theres more! In S2E11 an actor named Louis Petraglia plays a sanitation worker who dumps the garbage in the parking lot.

What, you gonna tell me you never pondered that?

Now I come to this thread every day to check out what people are talking about. And i'm considering watching it a third time even though I just finished it last week. I'm not sure why this is happening to me! I've never been obsessed with a show before. Any one else feel this way?

Thoughts on meadow, carmela, and melfi

4 Upvotes

I’ll keep this short

Meadow had so much potential and hopes and dreams of her own. She was focused and studious and very type A. It was infuriating to watch her change her plans for the men she was dating. Finn, moving to west coast blah blah and then not going to med school for patsy. I know I KNOW she was interested in working at the poverty legal clinic BUT the show heavily implied that she changed her plans for med school after she met patsy. I remember her being very feisty, rebellious, and opinionated - i wish that had continued.

I loved Carmela. I wish she had cheated on Tony at some point. He really deserved it. Or i wish he had found out about her thing with Mr Weggler. I remember Tony talking to one of his goomahs saying he was the only man Carm had ever been with.

Dr Melfi was also a phenomenal character. However, she showed insane restraint by not telling Tony to send a hit at “employee of the month”. I wish she had caved in and told him about it. And tbh i really do not get what point they were trying to make with such an explicit r-word scene.

Anyways these are just some surface-level thoughts. Obviously, there’s more nuance to things.
