haljordan posted:When I saw the first episode when it premiered, I remember thinking to myself "How in the hell can Tony and Christopher get away with running a guy over with a car and then beating the ever-loving poo poo out of him in front of dozens of eyewitnesses?" Then I thought "If I saw that go down, I would probably say to myself 'Well those gentlemen are clearly having some sort of dispute over an unpaid loan, it wouldn't be proper of me to interfere.'" And then I would run away very fast. I loved the time a citizen DID come forth to quite proudly do his civic duty after witnessing Tony commit a crime, then his wife sees Tony on the news and they find out who he is, and he instantly calls up the DA and says,"gently caress you I'm not testifying!"

The fundamental question is, will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was? And will I be even more so? But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective.

"Mom started going downhill after the World Trade Center. You know Quasimodo predicted all this." "Who did what?" "All these problems... the Middle East, the end of the world." "Nostradamus. Quasimodo's the Hunchback of Notre Dame." "Oh right. Notre Damus." "Nostradamus, and Notre Dame. Two different things completely." "It's interesting though, they'd be so similar, isn't it? And I always thought okay, Hunchback of Notre Dame. You also got your quarterback and halfback of Notre Dame." "One's a loving cathedral." "Obviously. I know, I'm just saying. It's interesting, the coincidence. What you're gonna tell me you never pondered that? The back thing with Notre Dame?" "No!"

I love that episode so much because they're trying so hard to be mature adults who explain their reasoning and are in touch with their emotions, and then at the end of the episode they "solve" their problems by going,"LET'S GET MARRIED!  "

"You had Tic Tacs and you didn't tell me?!" It's even funnier if you've seen the episode before and know what's coming. You can see them in Paulie's mouth for a while before Christopher realizes it.

It's really hard to pick out bad episodes because they all have something great in them. For example, I recently watched "In Camelot", the one with the mistress, not really looking forward to it, but it was actually strong aside from a few weak scenes. And its a really deep story about Tony realizing his father kind of sucked, only once yet another dual madonna/whore figure enters his life for him to understand the world through. There's also
It's the same with the seasons too. I swear I alternate between every season being the "best one" and "worst one" as I'm watching, and I really couldn't rank them reliably if I tried. I had previously hit a big lull getting into season 5 because of some stuff I remembered not working, but the more I pressed on the more these small details made me fall in love again. The only thing you could probably do is pluck out worst plotlines, and again there's still stuff that's fantastic in them. Everyone rags on Meadow and Finn "got out your suitcase!" and "it's my process!" but the more I've seen that it's just so hilarious on top of Finn being scared for his life about Vito, and Meadow getting mad he's falling asleep after they've been arguing for 8 HOURS straight. There's obvoiously the D-Girl storyline about Chris going to Hollywood that's a little too on the nose, but that goes to the "In Camelot" line from with Chris "I got out of that business cause people gently caress you over! Jon Favreau--human being cocksucker-tried to steal MY ideas!" Aight gently caress it. Season 5 is my favorite. Best one by far. See yall in a week to tell you about how Season 5 is the worst and Season 6 is the best.

The one before it is worse, Sentimental Education, all about Carmela's affair with one of AJ's guidance counselors or something. Columbus Day was funny...

Okay, I'll probably never say season 6 is the best cause it's probably the only one I could say is actually the weakest and stick to it, but drat if I don't love a lot of it. Even if you hate Johnny Cakes, you can't not love this moment:  Season 6.5 on the other hand, that season is pure gold. escape artist posted:What is that from?

I really like that one, if only because I think it's nice to see Carmela get to have an affair after putting up with years of Tony's infidelities. Plus doesn't the episode have the amazing line,"No offense, but I think you use your pussy to get what you want."

I loved the Carmela/Furio storyline in Season 4... I think the counselor was just an annoying douche.

"You strong-armed me using the only weapon you have--your pussy" I was gonna write up the defense for the great parts of that episode, but just got describing the episode right after it and effort. Really though, that episode is hard to get through because--not the Carmella/Counselor--but how absolutely heartbreaking the Tony Blundeto plotline is. This "bag of money" blessing being a curse in disguise, a taste of the old life ends up causing him to miss it all and he needlessly throws his hard work at a straight life and business investment all away.

I love the Columbus Day episode, I think it has some of the funniest lines in the whole series. I know no one agrees with me, but come on. Great stuff. Tony: "Whatever happened to Gary Cooper?" Silvio: "...he died." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27KQODo0vXs

That line is cemented into my brain, no matter what episode I'm watching. Even something like the pilot, I'm hearing... Tony "What ever happened to Gary Cooper? You know--that strong, silent type" Melfi: "He was gay, Gary Cooper?"
