Dokapon Findom posted:His death was likely inevitable from the injuries, making Tony's act that much more unnecessary and petty fits a lot of Tony’s decisions in the later seasons, to be honest. he alienated himself from most of the crew over pretty dumb poo poo at the end.

codo27 posted:Many Saints never happened, dont talk about it. I find Chris to be sympathetic in many ways but whenever he beats the living Christ out of his Ade I'm reminded what a loving rear end in a top hat he is. His addiction issues are him self medicating his other, more pertinent ones but, man. Some of my most uncomfortable and anger inducing moments in the whole show are his instances of domestic violence. And my post up thread, where someone said "I could do better" (but never clarified) was me pontificating about Chris from Tony's POV and not some rambling excuse for why he got murdered. Like your last sentence there. I don't know what problem that person had with what I wrote.

It's a very brief exchange as Hunter and Meadow are walking into her dorm room; Hunter says she heard Eric Scantino hates Montclair State, and that he's been doing a lot of acid; Meadow kinda brushes it off by saying "And he was SO straight-edge."

I even think the lamp not paying off was intentional because dumb coincidences can and have wrecked the FBI's investigations into the mob.

Chrissy is a bad person but an interesting character. He is constantly being pushed toward difficult life choices, and you can see him stuggle with them. The scene at the gas station where he chooses the family over Adrianna is incredible because you see the conflict in his heart, and the naked truth that he can't escape. I wouldn't call him sympathetic, but certainly compelling. I found myself wishing he made better choices but understood why he didn't. It's rare to see tragedy done as well in contemporary fiction that they pulled off with his character.

Can you think of a character from any other series that could say the likes of "I could write my memoirs" or "as far as male modeling, I'd probably be a success"

I think about the most implausible thing about the whole show is that someone who started off his screenwriting career all "it took me 30 minutes to write, I thought it would take 30 minutes to read" ends up finishing an actual script that gets filmed and has a generally reasonable reception among industry people (albeit highly genre)

Ive watched it over 30 times, easily, but every time I start season 2 I just remember how good it is. Honestly front to back my top season of TV ever made and it’s not close. there’s candidates but from like the first montage with Sinatra playing its the best.

I think s2 of the sopranos is what every other prestige show is aiming for. It is pretty much perfect, and has every element of the show working together in sync. Richie is a great antagonist, Janice is a perfect irritant for Tony, the surreal stuff in Funhouse is perfectly captured, and it has a double whammy ending with Richie and Big Pussy. I think that the later seasons had some of the strongest individual episodes, but as a whole you can’t beat s2.
