The Sopranos Series - Re-Watch (Spoilers!!!)

[Soymuscle Mike]

they got my nxgga Don Antonio in a medically induced coma

While I wait to see if he recovers, I have questions for brehs based on the s5 finale.

If Tony didn't run, would the FBI have arrested him too at Johnny Sack's house?

I'm trying to remember but I can't recall right now. Has Tony or would Tony ever kill a civilian?

I already know that Paulie and Chris would

Tony wouldn't be arrested, the feds have to be very careful when they're planning RICO cases against somebody.

Tony hasn't killed a civillian himself (that we know of), but I don't see why he wouldn't. He came close with Meadow's soccer coach, his mother and Gloria. He also had that dude killed who was talking about him trying to kill his mother (forget if it was the owner of Green Grove or sth). You could argue that Adriana was a civillian.

It's amazing that I made it to the last season without being spoiled not one time


Brehs didn't believe i could do it

Always wondered why they made the feds to be such idiots in the sopranos? They helped Tony with Uncle Junior, whan they played him those tapes and helped him with new york for no reason whatsoever.

They lost loads of informants, Jimmy, p*ssy, Aid (who didnt do anything wrong)
Not to mention they placed the bug on a lamp and they were surprises they could move it

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Sil really let his wife gas him up and now they carrying him out on a stretcher talking about "can't breathe can't breathe"

And at how all these dudes is scumbags and really only care about themselves. Bobby really pulled up on this dude talking about "i never heard back from you"

at Paulie agitating Don Antonio even while he in a coma.

And most of it is based on actual history. The feds have historically always "picked sides" when it comes to organized crime, it benefits them a lot.

That final episode reaction "we're gonna win this thing!" is based on an actual quote from an FBI agent DeVechio, during the Colombo wars. He was later indicted for having directly led one of the sides to murder some of the others, much like what we see in the Sopranos.

Feds are a money drain, composed of people just as insecure as criminals having to deal with "the ordinariness of life" fighting an impossible war.

And thanks for including us on the journey breh, it's dope to witness

Can't wait till you get to the final 9 (HBO called it season 6B, Chase calls is 'the final 9'), that stretch is (damn near) godlike imo.

After my last rewatch I might rank it as my favorite, which was S2 for all this time.

Also remember that Agent Harris had known Tony for years at this point and was somewhat attached to him. Add the fact Phil had set up a female agent to get raped, Harris already had a personal vendetta against him.

Tony's only killed people associated with them. Depending on your definition of civilian, he ordered the killing of Adriana. She wasn't a mob associate, but also wasn't some random civilian either. Also he killed that kid that shot Chrissy, but he was a criminal and mob associate.

IRL during the Colombo wars one of the FBI agents was feeding info to a trusted informant on one side of the factions. The "we're gonna win this thing!" is a real quote from an FBI agent from the Colombo war.

Avon would still have his corners if he had to deal with The Sopranos feds instead of McNulty and them.

I hate how they portrayed black people in the 2000s. This was the greatest era of television for me when it comes to these kinds of shows, except for the portrayal of black people, because you can tell that all the black characters were written by white people.

Plus, this storyline about dude wanting to be shot to show that he's hard is depressingly close to the truth.

I'm on the part where ole boy just gave Bobby the money.

You expected black folk to be portrayed positively in an Italian mafia show?


Godfather of Harlem gonna be the closest you get to that.
