One detail is that Janice's kid tries to run away and change his name just like Janice did to Livia.(Implying that Janice is exactly like her mother.)

[@jcjvcjc98]

Which is very interesting for a number of reasons, particularly that Janice remarked during the first episode of Season 6 while she was sitting by the lake with Carmella that she was like her father and Tony was like their mother. Both Janice and Tony bekieve that they're different from their mother and view themselves as being their father's children when, in reality, they're both a lot like Livia.

[@joecrawford172]

Observations that my son and I have noticed while watching the whole series again together. 1. The title of the episode is always said verbally somewhere in the show. 2. Whenever EGGS appear on the show .. it is proceeded about a minute later with tragedy. 3. Did anyone else think that the wooded, foresty area where Adriana got killed by Sil would later be revealed as the SAME area where Carm was building her spec house? My imagination could see them breaking ground on a completely new re-build and Adie's skull falling from the bulldozer's scoop ... 4. Anthony never struck me as varsity material.

[@mikegribanov6105]

ya, i thought that too about number 3 when i first watched the show. But i kind of like that about about the Sopranos. Not everything is a crazy coincidence and everything doesn't have to tie together and fit perfectly. It gives it a more realistic feel. In real life something like that would almost never happen but in movies/tv shows, its so common that we both (and others, i've heard ppl talk about it before) expected it.

[@dewilew2137]

My favorite thing about the pine barrens episode is that the Nathan’s bag they find in the truck says “75th anniversary” on it. Nathan’s celebrated their 75th anniversary in 1991. This means that the ketchup and relish they found in the truck had been there for like, ten years. A subtle detail, but I believe it was done intentionally.

My favorite joke in the Sopranos was that scene at the end of Season 4 where Tony and Carmella are talking to the kids about their divorce. But when Tony enters the scene with the duffel bag he goes "I just gotta grab a few things" and then walks to the fridge and starts filling the bag with food. Fucking hilarious

[@jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj178]

Yes, but she really doesn't look like Adriana. Her hair is simple and pulled back and she's wearing a simple black dress, very different from how the character would dress after the pilot. She is also credited only as "Hostess" in that episode.

[@Boobalopbop]

@@jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj178 I know but, I noticed that she was the same person and thought it made sense and that they did that on purpose. When she wasn’t dating Chris and was just a cute hostess, she would dress like a cute hostess with hair pulled back. It makes sense that her look changes when she is dating a guy who funds her salon appointments every week and gives her Armani dresses and Manila Blahniks. I really thought at the time it was what they now call “Easter eggs”

[@MrRoboto81]

No, that was not a fat suit on Ginny Sack. Denise Borino-Quinn, the actress who portrayed Ginny, really did struggle with her weight. She finally got her stomach stapled after the series ended in 2007, losing nearly 200 pounds prior to tragically dying from liver cancer in 2010.

[@markcadigan7630]

My favorite missed detail is how in Soprano Home Movies, in the start of the second half of Season 6. It really shows the degradation back to Tony of Season 1 and one of the things that sets it off is hearing Bobby’s kids singing “4 little ducks went out one day over the hills and far away” Absolutely unreal amount of small details that mean so much.

The highway worker is wearing a dark blue ball cap with a USA logo on the front. In the last scene of the final episode, a man dressed like a trucker walks into Holsten's and is briefly shown seated at a table, pouring sugar into a cup of coffee.

From a Korean guy who lives in Japan. It is for youtube’s recommendation of your video - that I delved into your videos and truly glorious saga(literally!) of the Sopranos. Now Ive watched the series so many times that currently I can claim to be a part of Soprano fanbase, the truly and rarely great one. In the East Asia, many are of ‘after Breaking bad’ generation - so I thank you again. In my opinion, what makes any piece of art great is the complexity of life and problems /sadness entailed in having a family(in other words, the inevitble and the precious). In these regards, The sopranos wont be surpassed any time soon. Enough for the preaambles, And regarding to your Breaking Bad pieces, i see you are doing excellent on those monumetal TV series as well. Again, much thanks to you, Pure Kino. You are a good kid!

When she renegs, Carm has the pool drained. Patsy Parisi pisses in the pool as the only form of revenge he can bring himself to get for his brothers killing. AJ's suicide attempt. Followed by Tony once again draining the pool (he tells Janice it's because of the cost, but this was immediately after AJ's attempt) When Tony is recovering from his gunshot and he's sitting by the pool and the heating system sounds unhealthy, Tony looks at it and beats it and it dies (I think) Kevin Finnerty sold bad heating systems) Tony Uncle Al - Carmela lets cousin Tony bring his kids to use the pool, his kids destroy property in the pool and generally make a mess of things - much like Tony B causes a big mess for Tony S When Janice first shows up, she and Tony smoke by the pool and dip their feet. Janice 'cons' Tony for some money to get Lyvia's car up fixed up,, she takes the money and the camera cuts to the pool filter sucking debris from the bottom of the pool - Janice the vacuum

John is on the phone telling someone (I believe it's Carmine Jr) what happened he says that he's, "over at St Vincents". The hospital name in Portland, Oregon is St Vincents...

Then when Eugene hit little Paulie in the face with the Snapple bottle, that was basically the end of it. No response at all from Paulie Walnuts. Eugene and Chrissie were made at the same time, so it’s not like Eugene had all this seniority over Chrissie or was more highly regarded in the family in any significant way. Granted, Paulie W. and Christopher had issues throughout the whole show, so maybe it just pissed Paulie off more when it involved Chrissie? Always wondered about that though. Any ideas?

Good point about the Vito scene. I was one of the ones that like the scene. I think that they really wanted to convey that sense of hopelessness that a dead-end job/life creates. I agree the narration is odd and jarring, and out of place, but I'm not sure there's a better way to get that idea across. Maybe a scene with him complaining to Johnny Cakes, but he was trying to put up a front as if he was totally happy and satisfied with the life he and Mr. Cakes were building together, when we know he actually truly missed "this thing". It would have also ruined the scene of Johnny Cakes waking up to find "Vince" gone, stuff gone, and a dry spot where his 'Lac was parked.

Idk why but this is one of my favorite symbolisms not just in the sopranos but any piece of cinema, once I learned what that song was about that scene instantly became 10x funnier

[@lucydog3376]

When Sil is driving Ade out to the woods Barracuda by Heart is playing in the car. The second verse of the song goes... You lying so low in the weeds I bet you gonna ambush me You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees Now wouldn't you, barracuda? Oh

[@thejahanshow]

I just read about the origin of the lyrics. The ban on western music in Iran was imposed after the revolution by the clerics, not by the Shah (=king). So Phil, the Shah, being attacked is not consistent with the lyrics because the song is about defying the clergy who banned the music. I think they just picked it because it’s a banging track.

[@joereilly8890]

@@thejahanshow I don’t think the literal lyrics of the song need to match up with the exact scene. Tony regularly refers to him as the sha of Iran and the song is about Iran that’s enough for me

[@leahwhiteley5164]

@@joereilly8890 Actually the Shah didn't ban rock, the Ayatollha Khomeini banned all music. As in The Ayatollha of Rock and Roll-a. I agree the song was reference enough.

Kino, I've been watching sopranos since I was 14 and I feel like you killed every recap you've done with the series. That being said I absolutely love that your thorough enough to go back some episodes and go even further with the episodes. Much respect and keep up the great work...Would love to see you go threw Sons of anarchy and breaking bad

[@robertlee4172]

One thing no one ever mentions is the scene when Sylvio is first introduced. He's greeted by Tony and the crew when he walks by "Centannis" on the sidewalk. Everyone is all surprised that Sylvio bumps into them outside. Sylvio says..."Gabriella sends me here to get some gabbagool". Why would she send him there if that's a regular hangout for the Soprano crew?

[@AZOMBIERYO]

Its a regular hannout but its not like he lives there lol, sil works at the bada bing and frequents the deli but he could still just swing by for an errand. Its a hangout but its also an actual deli so it makes sense, i worked at a grocery store and sometimes on my day off i had to swing by and pick something up and id see coworkers and they would be like "hey! What are you doing here" even though i had just been there the day before

The priest as well as Irina are also different people in the pilot. Irina is a blonde. You’re right about the communion wine. This is why the priest wipes out the cup after the last sip is taken.

14:10 Weird that season five episode 1 is called two Tony's when it's just a small comment he makes to Melfi, while episode 2 is when we meet Tony B. His suit is the classic Don Johnson, Miami Vice outfit which is another show that has a lot of crossovers with the Sopranos.

I literally had Vito style narration in my head, like almost that exact same scene I've experienced working in a hardware store as a teenager. I would run down the list of all the things I had done, noticed the amount of people in the store pointing to it being close to lunch, told myself not to check my phone to save the moment, do some more tasks, telling myself that a lot of time must have passed by now, give myself a moment to finally check the time in order to get the pleasant surprise that it is almost lunch time and the day is already halfway done, and it would be like 10:15.

[@craigcavaliere6744]

There were other references to Springsteen and Van Zandt. At least twice they played Van Zandt s music in the background. One was Gloria dancing to it and Tony puts it down. The other was in the Crazy Horse and Silvio alerts the others that it's on.

The bakery guy that Chris shoots in the foot.. back when Vito is called “Gino” lol... is the same actor that plays Agent Knox in Boardwalk Empire. Took me forever personally to notice that. He did an amazing job as Agent Knox in Boardwalk. Great actor. Seems like getting shot in the foot in a mob movie or show is a good luck charm for actors careers.

Tony’s first scene with Christopher is also mirrored in their last scene together- Chris is wearing a hat and driving while Tony sits in the passenger seat. Aside from when he’s in disguise- it’s the only two times in the series Chris wears a hat

I actually finished Sopranos for the very first time a couple of hours before this video was posted. I took a large break between season 5 and 6 because after I felt like I was just rushing through the series and that it deserved more time.

I always wondered why It was that when Christopher roughed up little Paulie and threw him out the window, Paulie Walnuts took great offense to it and drove all over Chrissie’s yard totally trashing the landscaping. Then when Eugene hit little Paulie in the face with the Snapple bottle, that was basically the end of it. No response at all from Paulie Walnuts. Eugene and Chrissie were made at the same time, so it’s not like Eugene had all this seniority over Chrissie or was more highly regarded in the family in any significant way. Granted, Paulie W. and Christopher had issues throughout the whole show, so maybe it just pissed Paulie off more when it involved Chrissie? Always wondered about that though. Any ideas?

[@mikedawolf95]

I wonder if Eugene was known to be more violent and would fight back hard if Paulie retaliated. But everyone knew Chris was kind of door mat and Paulie knew nothing would be done.

[@AegonTheUnlikely]

I think Paulie probably knew better than to fuck with Eugene. Guy seemed like he had a rep for being a hardened killer.

I think he knows that for close relationship between Tony and Chris would give him major leeway considering his own close relationship with Tony. Eugene might just retaliate financially or physically.
