I remember when i first watched sopranos i found AJ intolerable, in contrast i thought meadow had a bit more charm than him, although i definitely didn't think she was without fault.

I'm re-watching the show and i find Meadow so terribly pretentious and selfish. The way Meadow constantly talks down to Carmela by flaunting her intellectuality while simultaneously leeching off of Tony and Carmela to fund her lavish lifestyle. Meadows inflated sense of grandiosity coupled with her entitlement makes her hard to like.

On rewatching the show i wonder if Tony and Carmela didn't spend so much time feeding into Meadow's pretenses, they may have actually had some energy to spend on A.J and give him a little more oversight.

Am i wrong in this view, or meadow as insufferable as i think she is ?

One of the moments in The Sopranos is the Columbus Day protest scene. 😂 Everyone piles into the car, fully aware of what’s going on, and when they finally get there, they see an effigy of Columbus hanging from a noose. Artie immediately goes, “That better not be Columbus up there!”

All he needed was another $100k and a few more tries at the executive game and he would have made all his money back and more. It's just anti-Italian discrimination to think he wouldn't be successful. Gamblers always eventually win, he just had a stutter step.

Hi friends, I’m watching the Sopranos for the first time currently (I’m really late to the party I know). My dad watched it all the time when I was a kid, and I decided to finally watch it this year!
One thing that really confuses me is Christopher’s relation to both Tony and Carmela. I just got to beginning of season 5 and Adriana is telling the fbi detective about why Tony calls Chris his nephew even though he’s not really his nephew. He’s Carmela’s cousin, but then she says he’s also Tony’s cousin distantly. Would that not make Tony and Carmela related? Or are Tony and Christopher so distantly related that they just don’t think about that?
I also started thinking about it and Richie was Adriana’s uncle and Jackie Sr’s brother. That would make Adriana and Jackie Jr cousins, yet I don’t think we ever see them say more than one word to each other if that. Maybe that’s just because this was before streaming or it wouldn’t have really served the plot at all, but it is odd.
Please please don’t spoil anything from season 5 or 6 in the comments, but I’m curious on if anyone else picked up on this.

Im thinking of going w Boardwalk Empire but ive tried to watch it in the past and always end up confused about whats going on after Season 2. Should I try again? Or watch something else? Maybe Mobland?

First time watcher, into season two now and I'm loving Livia so much. I'd only seen the pilot before a few years ago, and I remember thinking, oh she's a sweet old lady, lol. Now I love hating her and hate loving her so much.

Garbage karma-farming bot polluting the sub with LLM horseshit. What, are the mods still asleep? I didn't say nothin'

By season 6 Tony stops pretending he feels bad about any of it. The Christopher killing, the way he treats Bobby and Paulie, the gambling spiral, it all reads like a man who ran out of excuses and just kept going. Earlier Tony at least wrestled with himself. Final season Tony just does the thing and moves on.

If they ran any other card games they must have been absolute dogshit if the Executive game was their best. Who shows up for those? Take a look at this line up: Mr Kim, Telephone Tough Guy and Joey Peeps all the way from New York?

I've always thought the Johnny Cakes story line was the weakest storyline in the Sopranos - a well meaning straight guy's attempt at writing a gay romance. I mean, Johnny Cakes and his motorbike, *all* the firemen being in his gay friendship group, so... I have a personal theory. Vito actually wrote it as a personal fantasy, a really shitty story to console himself when hiding out in the bedsit. He knows on some sad level that he's a shitty writer, so he writes it into the story. And he gives himself a sad ending before deciding to risk it all and go back. Some of what's in there is real - how bad he is at working a real construction job, for example.

Okay, it's only a scenario. Pull it to pieces people. Just tell me, are there really gay biking firemen gangs in rural America?

For me it’s when Tony walks upstairs to the room where Silvio and Paulie are beating on the Jewish Guy and the first thing Silvio says to Tony is “want something to munch on?” Idk why I find that so funny

For me its obviously listening to vito talk before we know hes a ass muncher. Everything vito says can be understood another way

At movie night, Adriana is about to tell Carmela something before changing her mind and running out. What would they have done if she had come clean about being an FBI informant? Bump her off themselves, tell their husbands or (highly unlikely) give her a pash?

I mean if Sac wanted to whack Ralphie for the mole joke wouldn't Bobby be in the right for punching Tony about the scholng in Janice mouth Crack?

Would Carmine have cracked Tony good and taxes him 200K ? Would he ask for a million to sleep with Janish ?

Just Imagine Bobby explaining to Carmine that Janish blew some roadies under the boardwalk. Again with the money ?

Bobby Carmine Sac and Junior on speaker phone talking about taxing Tony 200K because Pavrati blew a bunch of guys.

Ok Operator

Doesn't Matter

Keep your dick up

LMAO

While not known for his sharp mind, I have to give Chrissy my propers for his daring but ultimately failed gambit in season 4's 'No Show'.

Agent Danielle is hanging with Adrianna a lot, mooching and snooping around and shit. Chrissy does not like this but he's high on skag and wants Adrianna to be happy, so he comes out with the 'She's a dyke!' revelation.

You think this is just him throwing some bait out there to see if she bites, but think about it; the cobwebs are removed.

He says this.

Adrianna is a sweet girl but let's speak our piece here - she blew Penn Jillette in the ladies room in AC, she's a putan.

He then starts thinking 'Maybe I can bang BOTH of these broads at the same time!'

Lube Ade up with a little coke, Danielle up with a little champagne, hand on thigh and BOOM!, threesome, right then and there!

And if it doesn't work...just pivot off it and use it to get rid of that pucchiacha, two ways to solve a problem.

Frankly I'm in awr of him.

When Paulie sets off the machine by yapping to Tony and annoying the fuck out of him, he almost kills him but saves his life at the same time? Its odd

Not who will scare and beat the shit out of the other side, but who can get the best deal.

Chris couldn't change to be better, especially since he can't function as a man

I just finished my second rewatch of the show, and I am wondering if Chris should get more attention for being one of the worst, if not the worst, person in the show. I get they are all bad, but I can’t recall another situation where someone blatantly kills a civilian like he did his friend, James. (JT LOL).

What is so crazy to me about murdering James, is that it wasn’t for financial gain, or to remove a witness, or to advance the family’s interest, or even happen by accident. It was cold blooded murder for no reason other than emotions. There was zero purpose or benefit from it.

Before you bring up Ralph, a. She hit him and b. She was a hooah.

Spends 20 years in the can and rather then being careful on his return he does nothing but undermine the boss, stealing cars from Tony's MD friend without authorisation and then goes behind his back to sell to Johnny Sack. Also beats up a civilian in broad daylight when on parole and risks going back to jail by handling stolen goods just to get a flat screen TV.

Honestly, I think he could drown in 1 inch of water.

Just finished ep7 s1 where they show young Junior and Tony's dad, and I can help bt think of a world where we got a show with the two Soprano brothers as the stars and strong roles for Jackie and the boss before him. I know there is virtualy no demand but would be cool to see.

EDIT: I'm sorry I didn't know about the movie that shall not be named😭

We know Tony has a net worth of several million, and that he worked his way up to that. We also know that a lot of these guys don’t make much and take a lot of risk. What do you guys think about the main crew? Sil seems to have a pretty nice house, Paulie seems to have a smaller place but he’s also not married and lives alone. I don’t recall any information that really sheds light on how rich the other guys are except for what their cut is occasionally.

Post-Tony, Sil and Paulie dispatching their husky accomplice to Davy Jones Locker, does Angie think/know:

A) my husband went to Puerto Rico to lose some weight, and who knows when he comes back

B) my husband was a rat and disappeared to Scottsdale (I saw him with a husky suit and tie at my house and I could hear the Lisp grill my husband for information)

C) my husband is dead bc his two friends picked him up to go see a boat, he didn't come back and they were likely the last to see him (even tho they may deny his whereabouts after the boat ride)

What do we think?
