The Sopranos reaction | Season 2 episode 1 | First time watching |

[@michaelsommers5503]

"It's so nice to see everybody again," you said. Oh, they've got you so hooked, hon.

[@CoryGasaway]

Oh Mary has met Janice! She adds such a dynamic to the cast and to the family. Aida Tuturro is brilliant in this role.

[@tidepride86]

That final scene with Tony and Carm. The way she pats him as he eats and they just sit kn silence. Its such a real moment

[@swigzby]

You'll be happy to know the opening doesn't change throughout the series.

[@sofiamec8767]

"Ok Phill, I have some space again on my page" LMFAO!!!! So loving these reactions!

[@francisalbert1799]

Well, to be fair. Tony used the name “Spears” when he made the appointment over the phone, so the doctor didn’t know who it really was until seeing him face to face lol

[@nuckle4270]

That intro song is so nice. Frank Sinatra : It Was A Very Good Year

[@19nzinga]

I’ve been waiting for you to embark on season 2!! 😊 This is a great series and I’m glad that you’re enjoying it too.

[@rlevitta]

It's not "Olivia" (like in Shakespear's Twelfth Night) it's "Livia." David Chase said that the character of Livia is based on his mother, but named after the mother of Augustus (Octavian) in Robert Graves' novels "I, Claudius" and "Claudius the God." That Livia was evil just like Tony's mother. There's a excellent 1976 BBC series based on "I, Claudius" which at this point is a little dated, but still worth watching.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

That's a great example of good the show is. You got two people at a table not talking and you are fascinated and you don't want it to end.

[@howardadamkramer]

Hey Mary - Longtime fan here. I see your numbers are way down. Might I suggest going back to movies? These television show reactions (which go on forever) are killing your algorithm.

[@TheRtmac]

Do you know that Silvio is Steven Van Zandt from Bruce Springsteens band, an odd departure from his other job, but a good one

[@Slateking]

The quiet scene at the end was Edie Falco’s favorite scene of the series. Quietly going through Carmella’s day

[@gregsgoogle2947]

The significance of the final scene seems to be Tony won’t even considering talking to his wife about his emotional problems. His therapist gave him the boot... getting a new therapist he learned is impossible... so you’d think Tony would try opening up to his wife. But he never even considers it.

[@ice-iu3vv]

has there been any indication that mary recognized dr.melfi (lorraine bracco) from her very different role in goodfellas? she's royalty in italian-american media from these 2 roles. we have deniro, pacino, and pesci, but what other female besides bracco has 2 such iconic characters? talia shire for instance was in the godfather films, but her role in rocky isnt focused on the same culture at all.

[@ComedicPause]

Writing down character names was a really good idea. As someone watching the show for the first time as well (I'm just starting S4), there are a ton of characters, and a lot of them disappear and then re-appear for stretches of episodes.

[@gregsgoogle2947]

Or characters will appear out of no where in dreams or subconscious fantasy type scenes. This goes for dead characters too. One reason this show is so great. Tons of unique characters that at any point can come & go.

[@Chamomileable]

Part of why Junior didn't rat Tony out is because it would mean admitting that he wasn't in control. His own pride and hubris means that if he was to say that, he's basically accepting the reality that Tony has pretty much surpassed him and there's no changing it.

[@russellward4624]

At the time this aired 16 was the driving license age in NJ. Now you can still get your permit at 16 which means you can drive with a licensed driver in the car. 17 you can get a proviisional license that has restrictions and at 18 after having driven with the provisional for 1 year youncan get your full drivers license.

[@tulacagas]

I believe it’s this episode where Tony, just after talking to Janice looks at his pool and you see the bottom feeder, an Easter egg of Janice being the bottom feeder. This is the best show

[@burnout_2017]

Im really enjoying how much you have immersed yourself into this show Mary. Its been a privilege to witness, and perhaps have helped contribute to, the corruption of Mary's innocence thru this channel. I think Game of Thrones was culprit.

[@J4ME5_]

Americans can get their learner's permit at age 15 but they have to have an adult in the car with them and then they can drive alone at age 16

[@_BangDroid_]

Depends on the state, some are 14, New Jersey is 16

[@russellward4624]

​@_BangDroid_ actually can't get full license until 18 in NJ, provisional at 17 and learners permit 16.

[@mmeade9402]

Yeah depends on the state, not sure what the current laws are but in NC you could drive with the learners permit on your own, but only between the hours of like 7am and like 6pm or something like that(Im much older now) Basically drive on your own during daylight hours, or unless going to or from a school function.

[@_BangDroid_]

@@russellward4624 Ya it looked like Meadow had her learners

[@russellward4624]

@_BangDroid_ it was different back then. I think you could Stull get your full license at 16 then. Pretty sure it went to 17 around 2010-ish then changed again maybe 2015.

[@EgbertWilliams]

Mary! So many banger moments to come. Buckle up, buttercup.

[@elizandropedraza1286]

It's 16 year old when most start driving.😱

[@TheRedPeril]

James Gandolfini is excellent. When he’s made he’s on another level. So believable.

[@grumpyboomer61]

Tony's episodes may be from not taking his medication. If he hasn't been seeing Dr. Melfi, perhaps he ran out.

[@ivanove888]

The intro song will never change

[@raramonty5217]

The United States driving age depends on the State you live in. We don't have a universal age to drive. So the ages are 14, 15 and 16 depending on what State you live in.

[@tidepride86]

In America we drive at 15 and can own a pewpew at 14/15 depending on the state really! God Bless the USA!

[@_BangDroid_]

Some countries have even more freedom by not even having tyrannical laws in the first place

Check out A Bronx Tale. The Mathew Bevilaqua character is the main character as a child actor beside DeNiro and Chaz Pallmentari.

You think Junior and Livia are bad, wait until Janice gets rolling. I always liked Barbara though. She appreciates Tony.

I've never understood siblings who don't get along and / or go after one another. I've got 5 brothers and 3 sisters, and it's never been a thing. A little between my sisters when they were younger. But just teenaged girl stuff.

[@LezArtist5iG]

So true, I protected my siblings and they protected me. We got along all during childhood. It wasn't until we started getting married that rifts started to show.

[@sickturret3587]

10:05 how is adolf and ralf so different? afaik, adolf comes from old germanic aethewulf (elder alpha wolf) and ralf is a wolf of same kind with a lower rank.

[@deptusmechanikus7362]

the whole concept of "alpha wolves" is a relatively modern invention and it was debunked to death. ain't no way old Germanic had a concept of "alpha wolf" in it
