I finally caught up with this thread the night after I had a medication induced dream about going to a convention with the character Tony Soprano and it was one of the most anxiety inducing dreams I can remember. Though he seemed extremely amused with cosplayers. Thanks, subconscious.

Speaking of, I've always felt like Junior was slotted into some of Livia's storylines after the actress passing. The final scene between Tony and Junior is very good but I get the impression it was supposed to be Livia.

Ainsley McTree posted:I dunno if I read quite that much into it; I figured Massive was just entertaining her by letting her lovely friends use the studio because he was trying to gently caress her. Which I guess is basically what you just said, but I never picked up any hints that the hookup would actually happen, it just explained why visiting day (meow!) managed to get a recording session with a professional studio (it's no denmark of course, but) Oh yeah I don't think Ade would have went for it but I thought it would cause tension with Christopher. But it's realistic that way that Christopher might have been oblivious.

Mike N Eich posted:I'm rewatching on HBOMax and I just hit S3, E2 - Proshai, Livushka, and did they remaster the Livia scene? It seems markedly better and less weird than when I saw it initially. Though the dialogue is still bizarre and doesn't really make any sense. I just watched these scenes a minute ago and yeah, for whatever reason you can tell it's doctored footage but it's well done for the time.

Christopher's intervention might be some of the finest television ever created. And also the fight with Tony and Ralphie is so good. Really had that feel of a brawl between two scumbag gangsters with no formal training.

Divorce is a big no no thing with Catholics in general, or at least it's supposed to be. I think Tony even brings that up to someone at one point. Not to say it isn't something convenient for Carmella to leverage to be an rear end.

It's pretty brutal how fast Tony turns the boss switch on Tony B. Tony's pettiness is just on a whole other level at the start of season 5.

Jose Oquendo posted:I don't know. I've never seen it. It's episodic TV so I guess start wherever you want. The show was always nominated for Emmy's and stuff so it's probably solid the whole way through. I've been watching Kolchak recently and its excellent. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw David Chase appear in the credits.

I'd by lying if I said in some ways I didn't miss television being consumed like that even if the way it is now is better. With the Sopranos you probably had so many people with their own built up ideas of what was going to happen in the last episode. Probably many that believed it HAD to be something dramatic and explosive and then they got that out of nowhere.

GABA ghoul posted:Tony did get more evil and depraved with every season( but I'm not sure Melfi was even aware of this). Definitely the right choice to cut him loose. She was pretty much an accomplice at the end. AJ would have been drummed out when things got hard and he started threatening self harm.

Rochallor posted:Having now finished the series and read through a good chunk of this thread, here are some stray observations and comments on conversations people have probably been having for 25 years now: That episode was interesting to me also because of the distinct lack of knowledge these loud and proud Italian-Americans have about their people's own history in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March...ican%20history. "The March 14, 1891, New Orleans lynchings were the murders of 11 Italian Americans and immigrants in New Orleans, Louisiana, by a mob for their alleged role in the murder of police chief David Hennessy after some of them had been acquitted at trial. It was the largest single mass lynching in American history." "As part of a wider effort to ease tensions with Italy and placate Italian Americans, President Benjamin Harrison declared the first nationwide celebration of Columbus Day in 1892, commemorating the 400th anniversary of the Italian explorer's landing in the New World." Now that's some *very Silvio voice* Anti-Italian discrimination.
