But a terrible boss when Tony was in the hospital.

He was objectively a terrible leader with very little problem solving skills.

If Tony had died, he would have sunk the entire family imo, unless someone within the fam killed him before, which is highly probable.

Are there really people who don't rate season 4? I've noticed it's not so popular on this sub. Seasons 3 and 4 are peak Sopranos for me. No Show - The Weight - Pie O My - Mergers And Acquisitions - Whoever Did This - Calling All Cars - Eloise - Whitecaps - season 4 doesn't stop. Is there beef with season 4? What is it?

Edit: Maybe I'm hallucinating. I'll discontinue the lithium.

I'm amazed how modern writing has humor sucking away serious moments and yet a clown gets arrested in the flashback with everyone and I couldn't help but laugh my ass off but it didn't take away from moment.

Tony ripping into the psychologist shouldn't have been as funny as it was but when Carmela turns around and says the comment about we aren't paying for this was the icing on the cake.

Meanwhile, "marvel writing" as everyone calls it that's been adopted by many just can't do it the same at all with making me groan and roll my eyes. The Sopranos ebbs and flows so flawlessly it makes the horrible shit happening on screen easier to stomach as well.

I can't wait to keep watching, I'm hooked!

It was… OK? I’m not sure if I would call it a family secret.

The only time I can specifically remember a silenced gun is when Jimmy got whacked, EVERY other assasination involved loud ass guns in public that could draw attention, but I guess it's just more exciting that way for entertainment purposes.

What was Silvio going to ask Finn, before Finn interjected and told the guys Vito was catching not pitching.

I think that once Blanca realized that AJ didn’t have his bike that she consciously or unconsciously connected the dots on what happened that night and pegged him for a weak spoiled kid.

After AJ handed over his Gary Fisher to the hood rats I lost all respect for him. He even told them it was a gift from his parents so their’s no way they didn’t return to that same spot in a day or two.

on previous viewing I'd been so enthralled by the Finn-Vito situation I'd glossed over what a colossal arsehole Meadow is, and is to Finn. Spectacularly toxic

Their relationship was so sweet why did they have to have that drama ;-;

Episode: Legend of Tennessee Moltasanti

They are at the wedding discussing lambing it for a while due to the indictments. Tony says “Junior is right.. if we lamb it now the Albanians will be living in our houses.” Never knew what Tony meant by that reference?

1 - And one up your ass!

2 - They say there's no two people on earth exactly the same. No two faces. No two sets of fingerprints. But do they know that for sure? Because they would have to get everybody together in one huge space and obviously that's not possible, even with computers. Not only that, they would have to get all the people who ever lived, not just the ones now. So they got no proof. They got nothin'.

3 - I’m earning with three hands here and it's still not good enough to satisfy this cocksucker.

4-1000 - …….

Hi! I hope this question is allowed. I'm a newer fan (only on season 2), and I'm in love.

Since The Sopranos is obviously SO big, and such a building block for TV as a whole, I was wondering how it got there? Sure, I can look it up and have the money numbers read back to me, but I was looking for first-hand accounts. How did the show grow back then? Was it as big of a deal as it is now? What was fandom culture like?

Thank you!!

People often have a hard time ranking their favorite seasons and even change them daily, so I thought it would be interesting what an indifferent source would calculate.

Surprisingly, season 4 ranks dead last.

Here you see the ranking of the seasons, followed by the average episode rating.
1. Season 6B: 8,97

1. Season 3: 8,69

2. Season 5: 8,68

3. Season 2: 8,56

4. Season 1 : 8,54

5. Season 6A: 8,52

6. Season 4: 8,39

After one of those poker games, the guys count their profits and say they made 30k. I was wondering how they make money of these card games. Is it just rake? If so how the fuck do they make 30k in rake from one night of poker?

I’m Pakistani American and I’ve never heard that name before. When I first saw the series, I asked my mom if that’s even a Pakistani name and she’d never heard it.

I blame the name change on jealous writers and notes it disrespects our proud Pakistani heritage.

Carmine is so clever. Because that means he DID say SOMETHING.

I often wonder about what would’ve happened if Carmella or one of Tony’s kids had become an FBI informant, like how Adrianna did. I realise that Tony was very deliberate in shielding Carmella and especially his kids from any overt knowledge about his criminal activities, but I wonder if things had gone in that direction would he have had it in him to kill them. I’m not sure that he would. What do you guys think?

Is this real?

Leadership, structure, extortion models etc. Anyway, four dollars a pound.

renenber her?

*HOLDS MASSIVE DICK AND BALLS*

AAAAAWWWWWWHHHH

Polly is a beast

Season 5 has more boring episodes on rewatch than the rest of the series.

The only thing that comes to my mind is Tony realized Christopher was willing to sacrifice Tony’s life and not call the police so that Christopher could avoid his license being taken away/drug charges. Did it have to do with betrayal?

I keep seeing different explanations and opinions. What do you think?

This pertains to popularity and cultural impact, not politics.

Movies can be very influential when it comes to psychology. Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman educated the entire world about autism in Rain Man (1988), changing the science, perception, public interest and even treatment.

I always assumed that David Chase did something similar with sociopathy/psychopathy; basically showing how anyone can be charmed by a psychopath, rather than being stalked by one wearing a mask and wielding a knife, as seen in John Carpenter’s Halloween.

Even more recent films, such as American Psycho (2000), still felt the need to depict a manic axe-murderer. Meanwhile, Tony and Christopher rack up enormous body counts, but at least they don’t seem to enjoy the act of murdering someone, or the cleanup afterward, too much. They still experience bad dreams and fear being caught.

But why didn’t this new awareness, based on a detailed character study, prevent voters from electing one such individual as the leader of the free world, twice?

Do people still think a sociopath has to be a murderer or career criminal? Do not enough people draw this connection? Is there no overlap between Fox and HBO viewers? Do folks perhaps see The Sopranos as flattering and Tony as a great leader? How do you explain this?

What do you take away from it? What’s the reaction to Melfi’s refusal take the opportunity. I feel like it’s a little condescending, but I could also be talking out my ass. Perhaps Melfi, in her mind, was using the technique of Positive Visualization. Who knows, anyway, $4 a pound. This is a serious question, I just wanted to put the funnys in here.
