I read People's History of the United States when I was about 17-18 so I find that scene with AJ super relatable.

Meadow taking the lamp back to school is just another instance of her "saving" Tony. The Feds would've had him dead to rights on tape shortly after, if Meadow hadn't taken the lamp.

I did not enjoy watching the sopranos, but, after it was done, I enjoyed having watched the sopranos. I really did enjoy reading jerusalem's summaries over the past few weeks. When I forced myself to finish last year, I'm like, flinching, cringing, saying that's me, the guy getting shot in the face right now is me, everyone in this show would kick my rear end and yell at me for making them do it, and meanwhile I'm missing basic plot ideas like Tony's mom actually wants the cookies. It's a stressful show and it makes my media literacy go into the toilet but I enjoyed having it explained to me afterwards.

One thing I liked, and only stuck out to me reading the summaries here, was the visual metaphor of Tony's trauma, and him deciding gently caress it- just get high on peyote in the desert for a chemical epiphany and skip the hard work of therapy. Meanwhile his guys found that it was too much of a hassle to properly dispose of asbestos (even half assedly) so they just dumped it in some wetlands. Incredibly on the nose. He would not engage with therapy or process his toxic poo poo and in the end he dumps it. It will cause other people's problems in the future and he won't acknowledge the connection. Melfi ending their sessions feels like a formality at that point. He was done with it the instant he cried at the sun and tried to tell everyone ehh you had to be there. Also I think a the-test-dream-explained essay snuck in an idea that when he yelled "he's dead" to the las vegas sky he was actually maybe talking about his dad instead of just christopher. He never has to feel bad about finger chops or shot beehive hairdos again.

Palmtree Panic posted:Meadow taking the lamp back to school is just another instance of her "saving" Tony. Yeah, Meadow is his unwitting guardian angel. Recall that Fabby Petrulio, the “rat” Tony spots in s1e5 “College” is onto him, and manages to figure out what hotel they’re staying in. He shows up one night to kill Tony, then decides not to take the shot because Tony is helping his drunken daughter into their room. And then of course, she’s late for dinner in the ultimate episode because she’s having trouble parallel parking. My interpretation is that the bell on the door rings for the last time as she walks in, to see her father shot in the head from Tree ‘o Clock. Guardian angel magic finally used up.

Artie himself is a gourmet chef, co-owns and operates a successful restaurant, is capable of personal warmth, and sometimes even manages to be charming. He should be one of the coolest dudes on the show, but his own inability to face up to his personal failings and grow from them hold him back.  Love him.

Artie is the only person who could get away with poo poo like that. He also threw food at Tony and pulled a gun on him.

Artie is maybe the only character in the show to get a happy ending. And it's literally just "this guy's midlife crisis might be over".

It makes Artie and Charmaine’s last scene with Tony and Carmela so satisfying. They’re back together, the restaurant has recovered, their kids are doing well, etc. And Tony is trying to be the sadclown while Carm is just openly insulting her children to try and save face.

Zelman all casual like “oh hi Tony. What brings you here?” to a man who not only showed up unannounced at his house in the middle of the night but made his way up to the bedroom and is looming over him and removing his belt.
