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

[Mr. Manhattan]

One of the best scenes making her comments

Wow... listen to Mr. Mob boss

love this scene
the way he transforms from caring father to ruthless mob boss in the blink of an eye

Meadow got to experience a taste of Mob Boss Tony

her smart ass got all when he got in her face

Albert Parakeet Barese

how come it's the first time I notice this motherfukker repeats everything

the look on Richie's face

Albert was low key one of the best characters on the show. every minute of screen time he had was hilarious. Richie looked like he wanted to kill him... he couldnt tell if he was for real or trolling.

"Some people ARE out there stuffing themselves "

not sure if this has been posted in here yet. easily one of Tony's most deplorable moments, but still hilarious

Just finished re-watching the “Full Leather Jacket” ep in Season 2, got me thinking bout the upcoming movie. Can’t wait to see it. Hopefully they might release a prequel series too, they could base it on “ the unrest of ‘83”
When Chrissy explained how p*ssy got his wings. I guess Jersey went to the mattresses that year, but they never tell us who with, if it was an internal thing or full on war with another family or organisation. But it’s a good idea, for something they cld flesh out in that universe

I'm hoping Richie is in the movie for real, such a great character/all time villain. There are so many off screen references they can play out in the film. Tony and co. robbing Feechs card game, Richie getting the jacket, Pauline taking acid and uncle June has laser bea,s shooting out his eyes...

really hoping this movie lives up to the hype and HBO does a prequel series...

The Irishman...been waiting years for this
Sopranos Prequel
L'Immortale movie
Gomorrah 5
ZeroZeroZero series
Al Capone movie

Mafia films/series rebirth like it's the 90s/early 2000s

i think the unrest of 83 was an internal thing which lead to the old man rarely referenced (i think he was mentioned once or twice) becoming boss, and lead to Tony’s Dad and Junior both becoming captains. The old man was the guy Jackie Aprile was acting boss for in Season 1, i believe his last name was DeMeo and he was mentioned at least once but never mentioned again oddly enough.

when you juxtapose this with Tony killing p*ssy, you see how much more evil the character became over time. Really, after he killed Tony B, all humanity he may have had left when he did that and S6 showed Tony at his absolute lowest moral character.

for me, it really set in how far off the rails tony went, when he jerked around Hesh on that $200k loan for no reason at all.

its funny because when he was recovering from his gunshot, it really looked like tony was going to turn a big corner. that didnt last long though

one of the saddest things on the show was when Tony says probably the only insightful thing hes ever said in therapy, after his peyote trip, about mothers/parents and everyones personal journeys. i really felt that because i had that same exact realization with my parents at the time and was like you could tell it was really genuine, but Melfi wasnt buying it and kicked him out right after she was too focused on him ripping the basque pepper marinade recipe out of her magazine in the lobby

Yeah, Ercole “Old Man” DiMeo was his name, left Jackie Sr as Acting Boss when he went away

Found a bit of info
DiMeo crime family

Great show. I still say The Wire is the greatest show of all-time. I might put Breaking Bad over this.

Can someone explain though why people and critics acclaim this as the greatest show of all time?

- Gandolfini acted his ass off. Wasn't really a fan of Tony. Found him to be self-centered, insecure and shortfused. Carmela stuck with his BS. I rooted for Walter White more.

- Dr. Melfi and Junior were my favorite characters. I have a thing for intelligent good looking women. I'm glad they didn't go the cliche route of her and Tony sleeping. She was the only person who would tell Tony how it was. Junior just killed me with his one liners that senile fukk lmao

- Silvio was close to being there and this might seem odd but that one scene where he punched that stripper in the face just wasn't necessary. It's why I didn't like Paulie as much anymore after he killed the old lady and the waiter

- The character I hated the most. Ralphie was a second
-

- I liked the character of Phil Leotardo. I would've liked to seen more dilemma in the streets kinda like with Phil-Tony instead of everything leading to handshakes and percentages lol

- How did AJ go from being a chubby cute kid to whiney as hell? Meadow was the same throughout

Now what the hell was that ending about? lol. I'm gonna take a shot and say the guy in the bathroom killed him? If so, the beef was squashed, who ordered it and why?

Drop in your thoughts about the show, favorite moments, characters, etc

I jus watched the show 2 years ago and have watched it twice since then and I gotta say what makes it so great is the way these characters bounce off each other and jus how damaged all of them are. Its such an amazing character study and it doesnt really sink in imo until u rewatch it because seeing the degradation of all these characters and how entertaining it is is something no other show imo has given. The themes of masculinity, parental figures, nature vs nurture, change, and the american dream as well as all of the off the wall comedy makes this the best show I've ever seen. Also helps that damn near everyone is a master class actor off facial movements alone

 

[brickflair]

Also Meadow wasnt the same throughout she was a wild white girl messing up the kitchen wit her friend wit they non cooking ass throwing parties in her dead grandma house geeked up as all hell, she jus managed to make it because she wasnt as much of a rebel as AJ and she had her mother being more supportive meanwhile Tony wasnt a great father by no means despite him wanting to be. This is important because I'm of the mindset that mothers teach daughters to be women and fathers teach sons to be men and Tony was never in the house enough to have a real relationship wit AJ and even tho Carmela wasnt a great mother herself the fact that she was more present and showed more effort like when she was waiting out by Meadow's dorm even when Meadow was bein a pissy brat is something Tony rarely if ever did wit AJ. Also the fact that Tony was a mob boss and constantly spouting the line of strong silent type and admiring masculinity and strong male figures while being none of that himself was damaging to AJ cause all he knew his father as was this big boss so as he grew older he realized he was gon have to start living up to those expectations and he never got reassured by Tony that he doesnt have to be that even when he attempted suicide Tony was barking at him degrading him . I say that to say this, the whole Soprano household is fukked up and perpetuate the cycle of trauma cause no one truly talks about their issues in an open non confrontational way.

Remember when Tony was in the hospital and the rapper goes “Tony Soprano? Original G


Tony: Yeah; whatever
