The Sopranos - Junior Has Cancer

Junior tells Tony he has cancer. Tony also realizes why Junior has been acting so strange.

[@neil2905]

smart move by uncle june. just in case the kid was wearing a wire.

[@bronsonmaniac]

papa smurf Why would he be wearing a wire?

[@malayaleeking]

[@O.G.H.]

The tragic life of Uncle June. First he resign as the boss, and loses all his men and power. Then he gets arrested, and has to deal with one lawsuit after another, costing him huge amounts of money. Then he gets cancer. After he beats the cancer, he gets Alzheimer and becomes senile. He ends up being an old and forgotten man in a nursing home, alone and without anyone. I truly feel sorry for him.

[@O.G.H.]

kizz Tony said several times that the hit was just business. Thats why he never felt upset about uncle june. Carmella hated him though.

[@RFJersey]

Junior always remained as boss. Tony was street boss.

You do realise he is a fictional person? This is why i laugh about horror movies... Its fictional

[@remeyrune6009]

I don't feel sorry for him, under his orders untold numbers were murdered, yeah mostly other bad guys but still, if you believe in karma this show portrayed it right here

[@4EyedAnimation]

I like when Tony is sincerely concerned about Uncle Jr

[@mrperson0140]

The chemistry between these 2 were phenomenal. Incredible acting. You could feel the genuine grief and fear between the 2. Dominic himself said James was like fine wine.

[@123TauruZ321]

Because he had a psychopath for a father, never got any positive confirmation of anything.

[@JonyTony2018]

123TauruZ321 He got too much. He was spoiled. Tony should have beaten the crap out of him, once in a while. And military school would have helped as well. Might have made a man out of him.

[@Stuart267]

Despite everything Jun did to Tony at this point Tony still cares about him, hell he got emotional when he visited him in the Retirement home

[@Kopite4life12]

What had he done? Junior only arranged a hit on Tony because Tony had tried to usurp his power and authority as boss; something in this life that is akin to treason.

[@Stuart267]

@@Kopite4life12 He nearly killed him in Season 6 remember?

[@Kopite4life12]

@@Stuart267 I was referring to this point in the story, hence why Tony forgave Junior and Camilla didn't. Junior shooting Tony in season 6 was obviously due to his dementia, not out of vengeance or a random act of evil. Well that isn't quite true, as he thought Tony was Pussy Malanga.

[@vin8754]

You would have to be a complete monster not to feel bad for almost anyone that was in juniors position by the end of the series. I wouldn't wish alzheimers on my worst enemy, let alone a family member

[@ItsEricaBeyetch]

Junior is so uncomfortable during the hug then the scene comes when Tony asks Junior doesn't he love him and Junior can't even say yes or no.

[@sergiomendoza4850]

Cancer was almost a good thing for junior, it allowed him to mellow out and just be the old man and stop caring so much about the respect and boss position. Granted he does still care about these things going forward but once season 4 and 5 comes around he’s much more mellow with Tony and Bobby, until the Alzheimer’s really starts killing him.

[@tylerfletcher1982]

Despite everything Tony did Junior always trusted Tony with things he'd trust no one else with

[@kanguessokang9918]

And what's the first thing he does the minute he gets home? He calls Janice and tell her uncle June had cancer lol

@McPotato The Irish Farmer He was about 220 in the pilot and 235-240 in the second episode. By this episode, he's probably 260. He was 295-300 by the sixth season. I know that he was almost 300 pounds by the last season, because he mentioned his weight in an interview around 2007.

Tony- 'whiteness protection...." Janice- 'Would u like to pray with me " Tony- half smile with tears in eyes as he finishes his wine.... stands up and walks out saying nothing else to janice.... One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE scenes in Sopranos history... NOBODY could play a nothing scene like that and give the audience that type of feeling remembering it aust 15 years later. Janice was perfect to play his sister and that dynamic filled big shoes left by the mother-son dynamic that James Gandolfini had with Nancy Marshan..... GREATEST TV/MOVIE/CINEMA ever created

For the love of Christ, you people legitimately don’t get the point of this show. Not every emotion he has is an act, it’s the battle and the struggle between the emotions, the man he wants to be and thought he should have been, and the man that experience and circumstance has made him, which is a man he can never seem to outrun. Why would he have the dream sequences, the fainting episodes, and why would he he be so grief stricken and guilty about Gloria- to the point of investigating on his own after she’s dead- if he didn’t feel?
