At 18:49 Tony cracked a joke you said you didn't get...... When Jr. has the mask on, he looks like a fighter pilot, so Tony asked him how many MIGs he shot down last week. A MIG is a Russian fighter jet.

[@mikimiyazaki]

Wrong. He drives a rincoln.

Marshall McLuhan was a Canadian philosopher who pioneered media theory and how public perception could be manipulated through the media.

"The Medium is the Massage". lol... That typo is still in use today. They decided to own it.

[@luvlgs1]

good knowledge

[@PastaDon_]

🤣

[@geneticrex]

And boy was he correct.

[@mikimiyazaki]

​@@mckrackin5324no it isn't its a rincoln.

[@orangewarm1]

In a way Melfi's facination for Tony mirrors our own. It's not that she loves him; she loved the stories, the darkness of the character.

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

It’s like when her psychologist compared it to a rollercoaster ride. I think there’s also a voyeurism aspect to it too, she gets to see into the mind of someone extremely complex compared to her usual patients. I think the doctor in her also feels like she can “fix” him, as if she almost sees it as a personal challenge.

[@stpfpw]

Junior is the funniest character, glad you can recognise that

[@mckrackin5324]

I laughed when Tony told Janice "All in all, I'd say it was a pretty good visit". lol... Richie is dead, Janice is moving to the other side of the country, Junior is talking to Tony, the coke is not being sold on the routes... So many problems in Tony's life just ironed themselves out during Janice's visit. hahaha

[@mikimiyazaki]

Thats the, i believe unintentional irony of that joke lol! He was definitely being sarcastic obviously lol. Great point.

[@oscarnewsom3254]

To me, the image of Janice holding the gun is one of the most iconic shots of the series. Did not see that moment coming when I first watched the show.

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

The moment to the shot is amazing, and also funny. The look on her face and the the way she nonchalantly grabs a gun and kills him, classic. You can completely see the similarities between her and Tony (and their parents).

[@MrPaulb1982]

Believe it or not, it just keeps getting better , can't wait for you to see season 4+5 , great reaction x

[@DramaBug01]

Just my opinion but Agent Harris is a very underrated character in this series. He's great!

[@meganega123]

He was my favorite character in the show. I wish they did more with him

[@Jason-mh1cp]

"Albert, fuck that fucking parakeet" -paulie walnuts-

[@FutureBoy85]

Janice is such a trip 😅 I totally didn't see that coming the first time I saw this episode. Tony and Ritchie were this close to having all out war 🤏🏼 This is one of those rare occasions when the problem solved itself. These two episodes have a lot going on. They also have some funny moments.

[@camannwordsmith]

"can they smoke? I thought that went away in the 90s..." Some places (particularly restaurants) started before the actual laws went into effect. A restaurant I personally loved had done it willingly, thinking that it would entice more people to show up, knowing that they wouldn't be bothered by the smoke. It actually had the opposite effect - all the smokers left, and they didn't gain nearly enough new regulars. They shut down a few months later. Every state had different laws about this, enacted in different times. For New Jersey, the statewide law was passed in 2006. What we're seeing on screen here is probably...2001? Although the public's view of smoking had shifted and you certainly saw it a lot less than you would have in the 90s, it wasn't illegal there yet.

[@claudej.montgomery9421]

You can still smoke indoors in Vegas

[@Cassxowary]

@@claudej.montgomery9421good to know to avoid

[@Pope_Meows]

Correct me if I am wrong, but this makes Janice the toughest guy in Essex County now.

[@Tiresias55]

Without dropping spoilers, don't expect all of Tony's future problems to solve themselves like this! ;) Great reaction, love seeing Ritchie get what's coming to him, especially given that him hitting Janice made him a total hypocrit given what he said to Christopher about Adriana.

[@flowname]

48:37 it probably was 100k from Tony, but Sil decided to take a quarter for delivery. Who's gonna check, right?

[@rkempo]

Can't say I am going to miss Richie. I don't know if I have ever hated a character more than that guy. Great actor of course.

[@stpfpw]

I love how after Melfi’s point about how Tony needs action all the time, he goes back to see the guys and is still bored, then those kids are speeding and they’re all excited to get up and do something, then he’s practically elated to see Agent Harris, he needs the stress.

[@mikimiyazaki]

Da. Da. Da. Da da. Dadadadsda!

How could you cut out the best line ("I just might commit suicide") of the best ending scene in the whole series. What were you even thinking?

Closing in on the end of the second season, I bet you can see what everyone meant when we said it keeps getting better. 😃

[@CristyReacts]

For sure! I just recorded my reaction to the season2 finale, and WOW

[@HonRevPTB]

@ChristyReacts Christy you said "I don't get it" after Tony said to Junior "How many Migs did you shoot down this week?" A Mig is a Russian fighter jet, Tony was saying Junior looks like a fighter pilot with his C-Pap mask on! 🤗

[@ronrago2696]

Good bye Richie, It's about time!

It’s impossible not to love this show! I rewatch it on a regular basis. Love the reactions, it’s great to experience it through fresh eyes and see the same enjoyment and shock as when I watched it when it was new.

One of the best closing songs of the series ,, Hey, Hey I saved the World today..everybody’s happy now , the bad things gone away ,,,, I saved the world today by the Eurythmics ❤

[@Logan_Baron]

Janice trying to manipulate Richie into killing Tony, but she ends up killing Richie and crying to Tony to take care of it.

[@Pinkielover]

I was born and raised in North Jersey.. I've been to some of these locations many times. I was even caught on video in one of the episodes.. the episode, where pauly Pauly was confronted, for sniffing panties...P Pauly and tony were arguing out front of the strip joint during that episode and you'll see me peel out a little bit in my car ,, that was route 17 near Lodi , Hasbrouck Heights border.. I lived one or two towns over I was going to visit my girlfriend who lived in Rutherford.. but yeah, there was traffic on that highway because of that filming people got distracted and slowed down I guess.. I remember seeing the crew and I'm like you know what since they can't see me , I'll leave a marker so I hit the gas a little..lol hey I was young early 20s.. there's also another few scenes where they beat up a guy that was filmed literally one block from my house in Paramus, Fairlawn, Saddlebrook border... at my job, in Nj I got to know a few mafia people. One guy in particular was an enforcer for the mob, Teamsters union nicest guy in the world. once you got to know him. he's told me quite a few stories. Nothing too in-depth obviously... but enough that you knew what was going on he was in his 70s when I last saw him in the mid 90s so he's probably long gone.. but yeah, even at 70 years old he was volatile .. one particular incident he was telling me about a guy in town particular the police used to come in all the time for my job and we all hang out together. He grabbed the guy out of a car at a red light in town and gave him a whole bloody face.. because he cut him off, he pulled him out of the car at the red light... I remember him telling me he said to the guy how old you are he's like I'm 42 or something like that he's like I'm in my 70s and I kicked your ass...lol I remember him telling me the story as he started laughing. It just happened that day...lol quite a few stories some not too nice.. very general discussions, but involves hurting people.. so even those guys didn't really want to do it, but had to that was their job.. or they themselves would get hurt.. it's pretty crazy. It feels like yesterday all this stuff,,, but yeah I'll be 50 soon. Crazy thinking about that.

[@chomas8784]

A "Mig" is what old Soviet Union fighter aircraft were called... So Tony was making fun of Juniors mask because he looked like a fighter pilot with it on.

[@positivelynegative9149]

MiG is still in production and use. The MiG-41 is in development.

[@jibran4794]

Tony had an amazing knowledge of history, politics and just really good general knowledge. And a disproportionate love for animals. I kind of myself as him, and in another life I might have even been a gangster, lol.

[@Cassxowary]

@@jibran4794”disproportionate love for animals” you sure about that?

[@waitingforgodot355]

These are the best. Such a great show from season 1 to season 6. So jealous you get to do this for the first time. Lucky!!! :D

[@slimjimjimslim5923]

"Albert, that fucking parakeet! " - Paulie Walnuts XD and Richie's expression of "WTF, is he fucking with me?" and I'm not surprised by Richie's violent nature, he's the one that told Christopher "if you want to lay a hand on her, put a ring on her first".

[@scottmessenger8639]

This is a great episode! I still remember the way I felt when it originally aired! Lots of great stuff to come for you! I enjoy how into the reactions you are! Looking forward to seeing you react to some great upcoming episodes!

[@jcarlovitch]

I’m so lucky I have a fiancée that knows not to shoot me when I’m in no mood for it.

[@thecelticblog]

One of the best episodes :) The thing you have to realise watching it is that Janice is no joke. She isn't someone who talks about all that feminist stuff, the rights of women etc, she means every word. One time he spoke to her and treated her in a way she didn't accept and she dealt with it. No giving the man another chance, no giving him some benefit of the doubt, she knew she had a choice between either living that way or getting out of it in a way that was as final as possible and because she's a Soprano she did what she had to do. Janice knows who she is and what she wants and she wants it her way. I love her character. Strong and fierce and independent.

[@darth856]

Repeating what other people say to him is Albert's trademark. He runs the Barese crew on behalf of his cousin Larry, who was arrested along with Junior last season.

[@Kleen6288]

HI Cristy👋, time to say goodbye to Richie

[@wickedtribeART]

Tony’s mom is exactly the way my mom is. Pretty grim. Narcissism has rarely been portrayed so well on screen. Great episode. 😇

[@CristyReacts]

Damn, I'm sorry you had to deal with that!

[@TheNeonRabbit]

34:28 Taking the magazine out of the gun doesn't remove the one in the chamber and Richie's the kind of guy who'd always have one in there ready to go. Terry Kath, guitarist for Chicago accidentally shot himself in the head while demonstrating how safe his gun was without the mag. His last words were "Look, the clip is not even in it. What do you think I'm gonna do? Blow my brains out?"

[@lnetscoutnshelby5691]

That was my first thought...one in the chamber... Also, it's a magazine, nit a clip, but a lot of people use the terms interchangeably.

[@orangewarm1]

That last episode feels like the end of season 1.

[@NoChance345]

Tony was making a joke about Junior looking like a fighter jet pilot with his cpap mask on. MIGs are Russian jets.

When i first started watching sopranos, i wanted Richie dead immediately, but a friend told me, "you need these characters to make the show what it is" after watching this show multiple times, i understood what he said.

Yep. I'm the editor of the video, and I'm the one who told her not to sing along too much. Melodies and lyrics are copyrightable content (composition or publishing rights) and can expose a video to claims. KZbin has been clear about this multiple times.
