I always thought it was interesting that Tony defended the mobsters with "We're not killers we're soldiers" but wanted to keep AJ out of the family biz by sending him to military school with the same argument of "They're not killers, they're soldiers". Other than Jackie Jr. Himself Ralphie is the one most responsible for his death. First pointing him in the path that leads to his demise, and then actually ordering the hit, but is the one that feels least affected by it.

This is deliberate - David Chase hates TV conventions, so even though he does a few season finales that go out with a bang, most of them don't, and usually it's the penultimate episode or the episode prior etc. that tends to be the one with all the big action and stuff. Season 4 is my favorite. It's slower than most seasons because it's even more heavy on character development and takes it time to really build to something special.

Tony pawning the "handling" of Jackie Jr. off on Ralph is because they both realize he has to die (as Silvio says he "pissed on Ralph's leg" and by extension on Tony's as well) but Tony doesn't want to be the one to have to do it. Ralph also does not want to do it, which is why he suggested that he wanted to give him a pass, hoping Tony might do that and relieve him of the responsibility. Basically it was a chess game where both tried avoiding looking weak in the eyes of the others for not killing Jackie.

Hi, Today was my first time viewing the channel and I loved and subscribed. It's kinda like rewatching my favorite show again fr the first time. I'll be sure to tune in to each one because I've ben meaning to see it again and I love your reactions. Some trivia from the episode I do know - The dude playing chess with Jackie was Omar from "The Wire" - Obama's fave TV character of all time. This was his stomping ground. - Ralphie didn't want to have Jackie clipped, buy Tony was there to remind him that Ralphie was made a CAPO bcaus TS felt confident that he would make the decision to do what Tony felt was the right move. - There is another version of Adriana's FBI agent. The original agent was supposed to be Fairuza Balk (Sandler's GF from The Waterboy and also The GF from American History X) so you can see her on some KZbin vids - she had another film project that year and had to leave the cast. I love the channel. I am half-Thai, so I'm a fan of the elephant tattoo and I look forward to watching more recaps. I must add that my childhood crush was Carmella Soprano and you can easily pass as the 20-something version of her. Keep up the great work!

Obviously they are setting up the future. Great thing about this show is how well characters mature over time. Meadow has pretty much figured everything out. AJ knows some things but hasn’t thought anything through yet like Meadow has. Besides Roe, Meadow was the only person at the funeral who was genuinely grieving. Even Jackie Jr’s sister was faking grief. She made it clear she had no respect for her brother. Everyone was just using this occasion to eat well & make snide remarks about Jackie Jr. That’s what Meadow was referring to by called this all BS & running off. She’s grieving & everyone else is just chowing down.

But Meadow wasn't being difficult. She loved Jackie, he was murdered, and deep down, she knows her father likely at best had something to do with that. At worst he ordered it. I think that reality would drive anyone to throw bread at Uncle Junior's head. A part of her probably also believes that the murder might have been connected to Jackie's cheating on her. Under the circumstances - and the 12 quarts of vodka she chugs - she's pretty reasonable.

Smart kids (or those raised in a wealthy setting) usually go to college and become productive adults. Those unable to afford college, or lacking intelligence and lower economic backgrounds go on to working blue collar jobs. Some find success in that but others raised around crime often continue on to the same criminal lifestyle. The majority of us are products of our situations. Tony, Meadow, and Jackie Jr are a great example of this. Tony had a chance to get a college education but turned out like his father. Meadow was raised in a wealthy setting and continued to college. And Jackie Jr was raised just like Meadow but had issues with school and drugs and wanted to be like his father and that led to his death.

@hanng12423 ай бұрын
There's a bit of sample bias there. The ones who are good at crime don't need the services of a criminal defense attorney. To be a successful criminal, one needs to be able to correctly make risk assessments and needs to have the self-discipline to refrain from actions that increase the chances of getting caught. These are good qualities for anyone, but the criminal must be exceptional because the consequences of screwing up are so bad for him. The problem for those in the crime community is that they are only part of that community because they have no impulse control, or they don't have the discipline to get up every day and go to work, or because they enjoy risk-taking. The ones that get to experience the criminal justice system do dumb things like blow through a stop sign with a pound of meth in the trunk after FTAing an appearance in a driving w/o insurance case. What happens is that the officer who pulls him over notices the bench warrant issued for the FTA, arrests him pursuant to the warrant, then find the drugs in the trunk during the inventory search of the car. If one wants to get away with the big crimes, it is important to not commit the little ones because those little crimes increase the likelihood of police contact, which in turn increases the likelihood of being discovered committing the felony.
