He called him a mutt in the show breh... maybe he was half-Hispanic, but he wasn't just Italian (in the show) (also in real-life I think the actor is mixed).

Maybe you're right. I always thought it was just an insult, like calling someone a prick or a stupid fukk.

greatest show ever. not sure if anything comes close really.

Deadwood and The Wire are also up there. I think they are equally good, for different reasons.

Tony gave that shyt away with the quickness



Dude had some funny scenes, he should've backed off Beansie though, instead of backing off and then putting it in drive

Some of the endings were just

Corrado, scumbag as he was, was a sympathetic character.

Lost Livia to his brother, and never married presumably because of that.
Was a fool from the jump, people laughing behind his back, when made "boss"
Ends up alone, with alzeihmers rotting away in a hospital.


Tony was scum. Only character in the show that I felt bad for was meadow and melfi. Only redeemable characters.


Melfi can't believe tony never tapped it. David chase is a tease. That rape scene. poor baby.

There are so many overlooked gems in season 6, that it took a recent viewing for me to truly understand the things that were going on. One of the revelations I had was that the entire war could have ended without Tony losing Bobby and Sil, had he listened to Chris at the beginning of season 6. Remember Tony started using out-of-towners at the beginning of season 6 when Johnny forced him to whack Rusty Milio. Chris warned him that it would be better off to use their own guys, but Tony didn't listen. Later on, those same out-of-towners fukk up the hit on Phil, partly because of misinformation from that connected junkee. Who was that dude anyway?

you missed that one by a mile homey...the horse was a metaphor/symbolism/story arc for Tracee... you can google it yourself the connections but one I remember off the top of my head was the first episode Tracee was in one of the mob dudes says "she's a stallion, isn't she" or something along those lines... so they foreshadowed this when Tracee was alive... also, I believe Tony went to the Bada Bing and he looks at a picture of trace immediately after he killed Ralph...

He also says "SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE" to Ralphie while choking him, leaving it ambiguous as to weather he is referring to Tracee or Pie.

While most say Pie-O-My represented Tracee, there were also correlations between Pie-O-My and that one girl he took from Ralphie. Both came around the same time, and he ended up stealing both from Ralphie. Tony even compares the two in one scene when they're in the restaurant, and homegirl slaps the shyt outta him because of it. Then remember, Pie-O-My dies in a fire, and then at the very beginning of the next season, that girl is engulfed in flames and suffers 3rd degree burns all over her body.

Tony would've killed him eventually if Janice didn't do it herself.

Definitely. He was already moving against Tony and trying to get some backing. Uncle Junior tipped him off and thought when Janice called him to help with Richie's body she was setting him up

The thing about Richie Aprile was how impotent he truly was. Dude was always a hard ass, but was always made fun of because of his stature and the fact that no one truly took him seriously. Remember he tried to turn Junior against Tony, but Junior remarks to Bobby that he wouldn't do it because Richie "just couldn't sell it". In fact, Richie was so impotent that he didn't even get a proper mob kill-off. fukking Janice Soprano ended up killing him lol.

I loved Phil but I honestly never understood why the show pushed Johnny Sack aside in favor of Phil as the final villain.

A Tony/Johnny feud would have been so much better given their history and Johnny Sack being on the show since S1. And watching the show I always had the impression that that's where it was heading. A great friendship steadily deteriorating due to the cutthroat and treacherous world they were in.

- Johnny meddling in Soprano family business during the Ralphie/Gigi Cestone captaincy dispute
- Johnny having Ralphie's back during the dead whooah dispute
- Tony refusing to hand Ralph over to Johnny during the Ginny weight joke dispute
- Johnny subverting Soprano family business by playing Paulie for a sucker and making him leak info during S4
- Tony backing out of his pledge to kill Carmine at the end of S4
- Tony playing both sides of the fence and not overtly supporting Johnny during his feud with Little Carmine in S5
- Tony's dispute with Phil and later protecting Tony B

Their peace at the end of S5 already seemed very tenuous. I think the stage was set for something to happen that would break the camel's back and set them on the warpath.

And Tony running away without giving John a heads up always seemed pretty shady to me.


He wasn't half-black, he was your typical "swarthy"/"olive oil complexion" southern italian guy.

Agreed on Johnny. Tony bended over backwards for him the entire show. Then when Johnny gets made as boss he disrespects the shyt out of Tony, basically telling him that New Jersey was beneath him.

When Tony's weak son was getting fukked by the Puerto Rican brat aka Dania Ramirez and she left his ass, he was crying every episode. Horrible

 

[Alexander The Great]

she was a whowa!
