I just wish they wouldn't be so mean to Georgie all the time. Dude is trying his best. He doesn't deserve getting smashed over the head with a phone. Also, probably my favourite Tony moment is the pulp argument out in the driveway.

Janice laughing about how her mother would spy on the neighbours and then later on she was doing the exact same thing herself. It is pretty incredible that in a show centred on literal Mafioso the most disliked character is Janice.

Nancy Marchand could convey a sentiment worth a thousand words with just a look and a wave of her hand. She was so good. And really, Livia Soprano was the ultimate criminal mastermind in the show.

That scene with Tony at the garden center is one of my favourite things. He is just completely oblivious to how intimidating he is.

My favourite bit of Italian "racism" is when Livia is in the hospital and Artie goes to see her. He has brought her some nice homemade food, because we all know about the hospital. She initially looks pleased and the after one question dismisses the entire thing with “Oh… Northern.”

Ralphie wasn't ever really supposed to be a threat to Tony. He was just a really good earner who was also a huge rear end in a top hat.

My favorite thing about the coma dream is that the only person to actually reach Tony is Paulie and his complaining.

Dawgstar posted:I always wondered how we got that from capicola. Apparently its because they're all descended from dirty southerners. quote:Dan Nosowitz on Atlas Obscura did a deep dive on the origin of the gabagool phenomenon in his fantastic piece, How Capicola Became Gabagool: The Italian New Jersey Accent, Explained. After researching with some linguistics experts, Nosowitz discovered that, like the botched American estimations of Italian culture such as meatballs, baked ziti, or whatever Olive Garden is pretending to be, the word "gabagool" is about as Italian as apple pie.

Jerusalem posted:What I love about Carmine is that he's the butt of jokes for so long and then one episode he sits down with Tony and in his beautiful, stupid way explains the story of how one day he came home late and didn't follow his normal routine and his wife freaked out thinking he was dead.... and he just right then and there decided to put all ambition and desire for the top spot aside and just live happily with what he's got because he didn't want his wife to be upset. That "dummy" comes to a reasoned, sensible and unselfish understanding about life in general that is seemingly beyond all the smart guys and great leaders etc. You know what? Make mine an Arnold Palmer. I always enjoy those, but it never occurs to me to order one.

Jerusalem posted:Yep, and of course Tony frequently blames Melfi for not getting him results even though he half-asses everything, constantly lies to her, doesn't do any of the work she tells him is so important, shies away/throws tantrums when he actually makes real progress and quickly backslides back into treading water. She's the doctor, she's supposed to fix him! He chose her specifically because she was of Italian descent, because we all know how ethnicity impacts the treatment.

Halloween Jack posted:It's "gravy" if there's meat in it. His technique is fine, just, use olive oil instead of butter. Whenever I hear "gravy" all I can think of is Paulie in Italy trying to get some spaghetti and gravy and the waiter not understanding him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-eHk4RiIso&t=14s

This is one my favourite episodes in the show, mainly because Hugh is one of my favourite characters and he gets to be happy! Instead of being henpecked by his wife all the time.

I know I've mentioned it before but one of my all time favourite scenes in this show is during Tony's coma dream where the only person that can actually get through to him is Paulie with all his loving complaining and Tony just wants him to shut up.

Little Carmine and Albert Barese are probably the two smartest guys in that entire organisation. Basically everyone called Albert dumb, but he handles Richie Aprile so perfectly in this scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g3Nvi5vVxw

Daniel Baldwin is the is Baldwin that apparently used up the entirety of his acting talent on Homicide: Life on the Street. He was so good in those 3 first seasons and after he left the show he has just been in a string of lovely movies.

Beansie was trafficking heroin for the Jackie Sr crew in the 80s and after the bust that sent Richie Aprile to prison he decided to retire and he invested his money in the pizza shops while staying friendly with the Sopranos crew. And yeah they were like a money laundering front as well for the crew.

The Vosgian Beast posted:I feel like with the Shield especially in the early seasons, it might be better to multiple episodes at a time and have a quick paragraph on some of them. Just "In this episode, the Strike Team breaks up a cock fighting ring, here are some quick notable character moments that set up things about the characters that will pay off later" Yeah, it is kinda weird. I think maybe you can buy the seasons on itunes. Or you can plop down $95 here https://www.shoutfactory.com/product/homicide-life-on-the-street-the-complete-series?product_id=5064 and buy DVDs like a person from 2005.

Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa did Greg Fitzsimmons' (he's a comedian and knows Steve from his time in Vegas when he was in charge of entertainment at one of the casnos) podcast the other day. https://gregfitz.libsyn.com/michael-imperioli-steve-schirripa-episode-869 It's not really earth shattering, they just sort of talk about comedy stuff and some random Sopranos small talk like shooting locations and behind the scenes things. You can skip the first 25 minutes or so if you don't feel like hearing a guy from Boston ramble on about things.

The thing to keep in mind about the pilot is that it was filmed in 1997, so they had a full year between getting picked up by HBO and starting the filming of the rest of the season. That is a lot of time to adjust things. David Chase's backup plan was to get some more money and shoot an extra 45 minutes to turn it into a movie instead. In which case, it would have been a lesser Goodfellas I guess.
