One of the best scenes in the show.

The look that Carmela gives Tony as he has his fists raised is haunting. It's the first time that she truly realises the nature of Tony's work. The same look that a hundred debtors, deadbeats and rivals gave before being murdered by Tony and his crew. Obviously Carmela knows that Tony is in a monstrous profession, but there's still a veil of ignorance that separates their two worlds. But in her absolute mortal terror she finally understands the violence that sustains her lifestyle, and how her protecter is also her captor. And immediately she brushes it off. What a woman.

Tony lunging to punch Carmela before catching himself and punching the wall instead is also a great summary of Tony's character. Incredible physical acting.

That brush off is what I love most about the scene, Carmella comes away with the upper hand there. She challenges Tony and when he punches the wall the look on her face says "drat right, I know the rules of this here game!" Then she pulls her jacket over her shoulder in a very literal brush off gesture. Carmella is pretty badass sometimes.

That's why James Gandolfini is so much fatter by the end. He had to eat constantly while filming.

There's no way to use a spitbucket. He full on eats without a camera break in a lot of scenes throughout the series.

It was partially the way they referred to the food using that pseudo-Italian Jersey terminology. Gabagool and Rigot just sound really really good.

But yea I'm getting an image of Tony shoveling ziti into his mouth and its making me hungry right now.

The absolute worst thing that came from the Sopranos was my friends parents using those stupid pronunciations thinking that it sounded "correct." Explaining to them that Italians don't pronounce it like that and it was to show how uneducated and insulated those people are became a full time job for me.

Maybe this is because my mom's side is all NYC Italian-Americans (and said stuff like moozadell), but I never took those pronunciations as being a sign of uneducated, just part of the hybrid American-Italian language mashup that happened in NY after the huge wave of Italian immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

So yeah, Italians wouldn't say "rigot" for ricotta, but second-gen Italian immigrants in NY would.

It's funny because it kind of sounded like a Corsican accent to me. We often skip the last vowel and "k" sounds are sometimes pronounced with a "g" sound.

Though maybe I'm the French equivalent of a Jersey Italian :v: I could definitely see some parallel with the Corsican/Italian idealization.

I just rewatched the first three seasons and it's crazy how different in tone the first season is. It's very slapstick and EXTREMLEY 90's in some cases. I wonder how the show would be viewed if they kept the light tone and slapstick elements throughout the series. Also I wish that they had introduced another character after Chris got made, that could show us life from the low level associate side.

So last night I'm watching Pax Soprana (s1e06) and I never noticed something before. When Tony is in Liva's room, he's talking about how great all her stuff looks. Then he says something like, "I could even bring in that old broken reading lamp if you want. Its in the basement."

That's the lamp that the FBI planted the bug in and Meadow took to college.

Watching this scene again I think I may be stretching, but I always took the pie-in-face scene as an homage to Public Enemy, where Jimmy Cagney's gangster character smashes his girlfriend in the face with a grapefruit.
