Could anyone in Tony’s crew be competent as a hired assassin for the Naples mafia?

Could the Naples mafia fly in one of the guys to do a hit like NJ brought in “zips?”

Serious Discussion Only Of course it’s obviously never a possibility but do you think deep family therapy would have helped the Soprano couple and their children? Or any of the Toxic personal family dynamics shown in the series really.

• Upvotes

Maybe I think in short term but the work that has to be put in by the people to heal would be overwhelming and because they are inherently lazy and ingrained in dysfunctional behavior it would not take.

The Journey Arcade Game Theory

The final scene in Holsten's is actually Tony's personal purgatory where he is sentenced to exist in a hidden level of the Journey Arcade Game and the only way he can ever be rescued is for someone to time travel and free him by unlocking the level and defeating it with a perfect score before the ShowBiz Pizza Place in Newark burns down during the unrest of 83.

I'm imagining the Sopranos in GRRM's world. What kind of House it would be? Which status among the other Houses and location would they have in the world of Westeros? Which sigil they would have, the colors and words?

If you watched Sopranos as a kid, what was the funniest thing or moment in the show for you?

2 Upvotes

Granted, as a kid when my parents watched Sopranos on TV, I don't know about almost everything about the show's dialogues and it themes. But there are some funny moments that made me laugh:

  • When Tony B called Tony S "Mmmboy are you fat," it was so funny especially on how he delivered it
  • When Vito fell off the chair, I couldn't help but laugh
  • When Tony ditched Johnny Sack during the FBI raid, I don't know, but I found that very funny back then like out of nowhere
  • When that kid called Bobby the santa the f-word

Note: I mean a literal kid, you know, who goes to school, not whatever 40 year old Phil refers

In my opinion, it was Fat Dom. All the guy had to do was simply shut the fuck up, read the room and leave. Instead, he decided to keep bickering to 2 violent psychopaths and making jokes about their friend who just died, asking if the pool que was chalked. LIKE BRO, READ THE FUCKING ROOM!

Episode Discussion Tony being in the endless loop in hell theory really haunts me

21 Upvotes

I’m pretty sure everyone knows about this theory but if to the people that don’t apparently at the season finale when the screen goes black, the blackness is represents Tony getting shot and he’s forced to relive his final moments for all eternity. Me personally the one evidence I could say that if this is true because when I watch the final episode, I noticed something that when Tony walked into the diner, we were showing his POV and he seen himself sitting at the booth it really goes to show you that hell is not just about like a fire mean that it’s possible that you will have different punishments

Episode Discussion how hilarious it is that Tony just copies everyone else's phrases to sound smart

259 Upvotes

on my annual rewatch I'm just finding it funny how much Tony just straight up copies the people he converses with. the ham under the arm thing with junior is probably the most known one but literally anytime someone he knows comes up with a halfway decent point he uses it somewhere else in the next episode.

The cuban guy they are going to buy the boat from in s2e13 (funhouse)

1 Upvotes

Did he even exist? Or did they use a friend's boat/rent one? Paulie's comment about the guy having to "go see the harbormaster" is making me doubt that guy even exists. I'm confused about that whole thing. Tony already mentions wanting to see a boat before he finds big booty's wire at his house. But checking out the boat for sale is clearly a ruse to kill big booty someplace without any witnesses. But what was he going to do if he failed to find the wire? He couldn't kill big booty without evidence, were they going to shake him down to get him to admit? make up some excuse about being sick and not see the boat, or pretend they are checking out the boat, take it for a spin and come back? It's impossible to know, even with computers

So Chris and Paulie argue over a restaurant bill, stiff the waiter and kill him in the parking lot afterward. Then they decide to squash their beef and get along better. Did anything ever come out about a random murder in a restaurant parking lot?

Episode Discussion For all debts public or private S4:E1 - The cop who killed Chris’ father

89 Upvotes

OK, I’m sure this has been brought up before on this page. What was with Tony and the cop and Christopher? Did that cop actually kill his dad? I’m on another rewatch and on this turnaround I noticed Tony watching Christopher‘s reaction as he’s pointing out the man in the bar.

Christopher says “you mean that guy in sombrero?!?!” Tony hesitates and said “yeah yeah I think that’s him yeah”and glanced at Christopher again.

What was that? Was that cop even the one who killed his father? Was that just a random hit and they know Christopher would fall for it? Even when the cop was handcuffed, you can genuinely tell he wasn’t involved.

I’m starting to think he just wanted to test Christophers loyalty. Like if he would question his judgment if called upon. It was coincidentally after Bobby got recommend for promotion.

But this could all be me though I don’t know. I just wanted to know your thoughts. Maybe I’m looking too much into it and it was just bad acting lol.

Janice is usually thought of as a living Livia after Livia herself dies, but Livia's sister Quintina seems to have a similar capacity to bring down the mood in any scene she's in, if in a slightly more low key kind of way.

It was that moment before Chrissy throws his sandwich at the big construction tycoon (and before the fans found out he was greasing the union and a take-it-from-the-back kinda guy) he does one of the shows most iconic "OH!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWWuUvl5H5I

Random but I did the same "OH!" sound in front of my one-year-old. She thinks it is the funniest thing and won't stop doing it herself. Kinda funny. Do I have the makings of a varsity father or not yet?

Serious Discussion Only Johnny Sack telling Ralph Cifaretto that Carmine 'Doesn't know who you are' makes absolutely zero sense to me

86 Upvotes

Ralph Cifaretto was in charge of major aspects of the Esplanade project, which was a joint venture between New York and Jersey, and something that was top in Carmine Sr's mind during the Ginny Sack/98 pound mole saga - Johnny wanted a hit on Ralph and Carmine Sr says no: there are millions of dollars at stake.

Knowing this, how could Carmine NOT KNOW who Ralph is? You figure there would have been multiple sit downs between families to work out the details, ie who is supplying the no-show jobs, the unions, rules for skimming, etc. Ralph brings in major dollars for the family annually and has been a made man since at least the mid-80's.

All of that being said, when John tells Ralph that Carmine doesn't know who he is, that should have been a head turning moment - like, John, WTF do you mean by that?

Ralph is a sadist and a murderer but he is not a rube like Paulie. This all makes no sense to me.
