Good bye Coli(2014-2020)
It's amusing how she just accepted that her dad was in the mob despite having this big social conscience and every time somebody brought it up she'd just lie and claim it was because of stereotyping.

Maybe thats why she wanted to help minorities and shyt, to make up for her pops bad karma. She just wanted to ignore it and pretend her dad wasn't wacking her cousins and ex-boyfriends.
That dumb little Guinean bytch could've gotten her Black boyfriend killed or any of her boyfriends(which she did...). More importantly she acted completely deluded when her boyfriend Finn was trying to tell her that her family was batshyt crazy but instead she blamed Finn and acted like he was making up shyt. But then after Finn(when she dumps him) she agrees her family is batshyt crazy.

Meadow is like many of these "Liberal" Eyetalian chicks here in the Northeast. They're super liberal but when you meet their older family members....

Yea we can agree to the bolded. But her being the worse TV wife? Or even top 10? Nah.... I've seen far, far worse. Especially when characters like Laurie from the Walking Dead exists.:scust:

No argument here :ehh:

She was the reason drove our favorite character, Furio away :martin:. She ain't even kiss him or fukk him all this shyt for nothing.

Had Furio ready to kill Tony and all he had to show for it was blue balls and a one way trip :mjlol:

He was about that action though, actually all the goons from their homeland were ready :bustback:

But we should talk about fukking Janice :why:

Goat show , the only show that gives me different perspectives as i get older and mature. I was 13 when it came out 20 years later im still picking up on different dynamics and lil things i didn't get when i was in my teens.

The way Angie Bonpensiero styled on Carmela and the rest of her fake ass "friends" with that come up. :banderas:

Not too long before that, they treated her like an outcast when she fell off. Now they all wanted to buddy up with her again like nothing happened when she reached her potential. She should have gave them all the :camby:.

Underrated life lesson and motivation in this show. :wow:

Best form of revenge is success. :wow:

Characters, like real people, are flawed, Carmela was capable of pettiness, and intolerance (remember her homophobic meltdown about Billy Budd), shallowness and hypocrisy, but on a show about the Mafia, she is far from a character one should hate. The profit was always intended to be hers, per the agreement she and Tony reach in Season 5, basically forgive and forget, but back the spec house, and give me my walk away money. It's a smart and pragmatic decision, for both parties.

But, Tony is a gangster, and a petty, vindictive man, who, in a fit of rage and depression about his gambling losses decides to not honor the agreement, which horrifies Carmela. Because he knows that is her security, her out, and he ruthlessly pulls it from her, the same way he would a delinquent debtor, or a childhood friend (with a business to bust out) which leads the question, can you ever really trust or rely on someone like Tony?

Because as this is exactly who she married, but you never know, until he turns on you. He eventually changes his mind again, when he wants to mollify her.

She didnt have any marketable skills and would be completely lost without a man supporting her. Amd she knew it

Season 1

Adriana: What you want me to be a housewife like Carmela Soprano

Christopher: You know my cousin has a brain but what good is it if she doesn't use it
