Hell, the feds know Pussy is dead even more so than Angie does and they don’t do anything about it either.

Did they ever explain how Big Pussy and Little Pussy go their nicknames?

Big Pussy got the name because he started as a cat burglar.

It's also the only show I know that did something significant with Big Mouth Billy Bass.

"Anyway, four dollars a pound."

I’m not crazy about the dream episodes in this show, but Funhouse is just so good. My second favorite episode after Pine Barrens.

. I feel like a fair chunk of the millennial character dialogue would also qualify were I prepared to remember it.

Ha yes. The dialogue when Meadow or AJ are hanging out with their friends is really cringeworthy sometimes, and comes off as adults trying to write how they think kids talk.

My favorite is when AJ’s cutting class and hanging out in front of a convenience store. One of his skateboarding friends busts out with “My mom's all, ‘get involved.’ It's like, hello, i am involved... with boarding.”

Oh man, is that's the first time Tim Daily's character shows up. Chris turning the AA stuff around on J.T.'s gambling addiction was always funny.

J.T.: "What is this, Pulp Fiction?"
Paulie Jr.: "I dunno, I didn't see it."

I’m only realizing this because of this post and I just watched the episode a few hours ago, but Tim Daly gets mentioned back in season 3 when Meadow meets Noah’s father who works in Hollywood. He’s complaining that he had to sit next to Tim Daly on the plane and he talked his ear off.

I think the true old-timer Italian drink is anisette. I think the only time it's seen in the whole series is when they go to Italy.

Tony offers Danielle the undercover FBI agent some anisette when Adriana brings her over to his house. Again something I only know because I watched that episode yesterday.

One thing I noticed last time I watched that episode...

The store where Tony is picking up his prescription when he runs into Isabella. It’s not a CVS or Rite-Aid or anything else you’d expect in suburban New Jersey. It looks like something from a small Italian village. There are all these old-timey bottles in the window and the sign just says “Chemist: since 1907.” Later when he’s talking to Melfi about the vision of Isabella with the baby, he says “we went back in time, to like 1907.”

What do you mean by Ralph being a fake-out antagonist?

It is weird that Ralph’s backstory has him growing up as part of the same group of buddies alongside Tony, Sil, and Jackie. They don’t seem to have very much camaraderie with him and talk about him as if he’s just Joe Jerkoff who’s new on the scene. Could be just cuz he’s an unlikable rear end in a top hat though.

Then minutes later you see him going into a brothel and beating the poo poo out of a woman and blowing a guy's knees off.

Tony gave Furio that job specifically to “test” his savagery because he was acting all fruity at the party with the baby talk and the AMC.

Yeah it involved stealing poo poo from the esplanade construction site. Tony told everyone to knock it off and Silvio gave Patsy Parisi the go-ahead to steal tiles or fiber optics or some poo poo.

It comes off like he did it because he was pissed that Tony put Christopher in charge of Paulie’s crew instead of Sil. Maybe he was trying to get Chrissy in trouble? It’s kind of an odd out-of-character plot line for Sil, who is usually not much of a poo poo-stirrer.

Irina swallowed a bunch of pills when Tony left her. Meadow’s friend that the coach was loving cut her wrists. One of Melfi’s unseen patients killed themselves when she was hiding out in between season 1 and 2. Davey Scatino had a gun to his head before being interrupted by his wife.
