Season 1 is such a great debut season, and this is a great finale and one of the show’s best episodes. This season is probably the most conventionally entertaining and even cliche. But it’s so well acted, the dialogue is so great, and the show is almost fully realized. This season isn’t as ambitious or challenging as others, but seasons 6b and 5 are the only ones I’m willing to say are “better” than this one. But of course, all the seasons are special in their own ways.

[@vickjr98]

I'd say 2 was better as well but good points

[@liteflightify]

Season 2 is full of a lot of great moments and many good to great episodes. It’s more consistent than the first, and it ends with two of the show’s best episodes. But it’s also incredibly scattered, is a bit too dependent on season 1’s momentum and doesn’t feature enough Carm. But really, seasons one and two almost feel like one season. They’re very different to the remainder of the series.

The only good part of this economic disaster called CV-19 was having the time to rewatch the entire six season of the show, thats Season one, episode one, titled "The Sopranos" 01/10/99 too Season six, episode eighty six, titled "Made In America" 06/10/07.... And I happily admit, rewatching the Sopranos now from a 50 year old mindset compared to the mindset of a 20 something year old, I much more love the Sopranos now. In other words, some episodes like Tony in a coma Or Tony dream sequences were boring to me 22 years ago. I use to want to see bullets flying, Or watching Mikey Palmice laying on his back, in a puddle of water begging for his life. Now with all the great content like "Pure Kino" on YT and rewatching of the show, I appreciate it all of it!! from AJ growing up after losing his innocents at Jackie Aprile funeral realizing what Meadow told him about there dad having two families as the FBI is taking pictures of them while burying Uncle Jackie, to sadly watching them all fall from grace.... In ending, The Sopranos to me is like that old saying "Like a fine wine, It only gets better with age" Because every time I see a episode, I catch something I didn't see the first or last time I saw it..

[@mikegribanov6105]

[@ononoma]

It's amazing having grown up in an Italian-American household the connection between food this action is, was very real. The scenes with Carmela and the priest and the food and how another woman feeding the priest was almost an act of adultery makes sense for someone of that generation. And then the end of the episode where they all wind up at Artie bucco's restaurant in bad weather eating by candlelight is something of my youth. It's apart of Familia Karma connection, love. As good as the food is its eating together, it's the person that serves of food it's the people that eat the food it's the kids listening to stories during Camille that make it enduring. God I miss James Gandolfini. I can't imagine the movie coming out, post 2017 coming close to wiping The Sopranos ass. I hope I'm wrong but it's been a good 10 years Plus. A lot of shit has happened and a lot of things we used to hold dear to us no longer exist. I think the movie is still too new to be a period piece. I don't want to watch a bunch of Italian guys just saying forget about it back in the late sixties. I'd rather watch The Godfather 3:-) excellent review of this episode and the entire first season well done!

Carmella may have called out Father Phil, but he wasn't doing anything she and the other wives weren't doing themselves, which I think is the larger point of that scene.

[@HandGrenadeDivision]

@@dingdongism I'm pretty sure you're not in a position to speak for "the church." Particularly if you don't realize that sin is sin, the church doesn't grade on a curve if you are a bored housewife. Honestly, your comments do you little credit if you think that's how it works.

[@dingdongism]

@@HandGrenadeDivision I'm not sure you even understand what you're arguing. I never spoke _for_ the Church. In fact, of the two of us, you're the only one that speculated on how the Church sees this scenario. It's right up there in the comments, where you wrote "I bet the church doesn't see a difference either." I know that you didn't like having your equivocation around Father Phil and Carm called out, but you're doing a terrible job explaining your position. I'm saying that Father Phil was predatory and, as a member of the clergy, ought to be held to a higher standard. I don't care about the Church's official position, I'm saying that you, me, other viewers, and other citizens ought to hold him to the standard that he claims to represent in the world. Carm never signed up to give her life to the Church. Whether or not her actions constitute some sort of sin or not is not relevant to my argument. It's a clear-cut power relation with Father Phil holding a position of cultural and religious power and so he should be held to a higher standard. Period. The fact that you're equivocating on the Father Phil and Carm relationship and trying to lend credibility to your argument by speculating that the Church agrees with you, and at the same time pretend that I'm the one "speaking for the Church," is either a huge oversight on your part or evidence of you arguing in bad faith.

[@jimgallagher2979]

Tony evolved during the series because he was realizing he was losing it all. By the final season he knew he was a marked man and probably a dead man walking. There was nothing left of his crew because they were all dead or would be. Most of the deaths were because of Tony's own stupid decisions and he only had himself to blame.

Furthermore, as Tony and Sil both noted, Feech was well-liked and killing him might have made Tony look like too much of a loose cannon in the eyes of his other soldiers.

[@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL]

my memory is that Chase originally meant for it to run 4 seasons and center on the war between Tony and Livia. When Nancy M died, the show had no certain trajectory for season 3, except maybe that Tony’s issues w Livia would return in the form of other women in his life (Gloria). Then, somewhere in the writing of season 4, David Chase realized he was inescapably glorifying crime and amorality. His plan for 4, 5, 6a and 6b was to systematically dismantle audience sympathy for Tony as much as he possibly could without making it obvious.

[@dingdongism]

That's some interesting meta commentary....where did you learn all that? Is it directly from the mouth of Chase or are you inferring things?

[@distancbtwnplants]

@@dingdongism It was something from an dvd commentary from a while back... early 2000s, before the entire series ended. (edit) YES, from Chase. The series wasn't over at the time, so the inclusion of all seasons is technically my assumption based on his words. He was really bothered by the prospect of glorifying crime at that time. Seems like it was during the break between seasons 4 and 5; or 5 and 6. Not sure. I was watching the show through pirated Russian dvds borrowed from a friend. The packaging was really ugly but the discs had all the special features.

When the FBI is playing the tapes with Tony, one of the recordings comes from when Junior and Livia were talking outside of a theater. That's kind of impossible unless they wired her too.

[@joshradcliffe8563]

Very good point. Well, one of the agents makes reference to, "The mother testifying" in Season 2, suggesting that they may have made an approach; and Chase has said that the original plan was for Season 3 to see Livia testifying against Tony, Nancy Marchand's death before Season 3 was filmed was what prevented this.

[@Warszawski_Modernizm]

[@Warszawski_Modernizm]

@@joshradcliffe8563 as for the Ticket Scam - FBI would not have to approach Livia beforehand. She would be subpoena'd to testify before federal court, as the tickets belonged to her and were issued in her name. Whether she was capable and mentally fit to do so, is/was another issue.

Yeah, had this thought as well. It's another example of using empathy to manipulate us the viewer. Perfection.

[@chipwanderlust113]

But that is not ratting..ratting is when you expose 'the family'. The Arabs aren't the family and he was simply being strategical and he thought of Meadow when they asked him if she uses the subway. This was the climate of 9/11 and though a bit racist, that was a dad response.

[@FearsEdge]

@@chipwanderlust113 I understand why he did it and why he could justify it in his mind, but he still cooperated with federal agents to turn in some former associates that his family has done business with. That's being a rat.

[@andylymbo]

@@chipwanderlust113 I think the point rather was it is ratting normally by their code of just never give any info. But imo the sopranos was a show full of people who break their vows/oaths; Tony, Carmella, Paulie, Christopher etc. So for Tony to do that I felt aligned with ratting for a justified cause (in his mind). Which I'm not saying it's not justified just that's their perception. But I tend to agree with you. To me ratting is also anytime you snitch when you get yourself in trouble.

[@formulahank1250]

This is my favourite episode of the entire series. It just feels very complete. The wholesome ending really makes it for me, as it's one of the few times where you see Tony truly happy throughout the show

[@federicosamsa]

@@iheartjbgccb I think it was both, and that was the really genius side of the character: acting as a double-faced asshole looks like the same to have dementia. It is the ultimate statement about characters which only use in a story is to plot with no real meaning behind it, as Livia is the only character how just seems to be in a certain way with no particular reason and results as the only straightforward villain (the presumed lacks of respect Tony inflicts her aren't enough to justify her hatred if she was a normal human being.) She's a meta-character in a series full of meta hints, showing how most of unnecessarily good or evil TV characters act like demented zombies if you really analyze their behaviour. Plot-wise, she probably just exaggerates her feelings because of dementia and actually takes advantage of the status they give her in the moments of lucidity dementia can give you time to time.

Not sure Artie is Tony’s best friend.. he later sees Artie as a mark and talks him into borrowing money from him, only to not pay his restaurant debt.. Tony may like Artie for sure but ultimately it’s his food he likes.. Tony always finds a way to serve his interests

[@sundjatamb3061]

Nah. If you remember the dream with his football coach, the coach thought Artie was gonna be the one to lead Tony down the path he ultimately took. Artie was a flawed person, and cowardly in some ways, but he had balls in other ways that are meant to drive home the point. None of Tony's underlings except Chris could have got away with half the shit that Artie did with Tony, and definitely no civilian (he pulled a gun on Tony, remember? Only Chris did that, and was damn near executed). Plus if Charmaine is to be believed, she had a brief relationship with Tone, but decided it wasn't for her. IMO the Buccos represent status quo discontent with things we should be thankful for, and the destructive allure of organized crime when somehow those things still make us unhappy. Artie's a successful restaurateur, but he's never satisfied with his degree of success, and desires the power and money and casual sex that come with being a gangster. He has a beautiful wife, who is caring and wise, and lusted after by "the guys" in ways we never see with the mob wives. But she's presented to the audience as a ball-busting harpy who is less desirable than the series of scammers that Artie employs, and whom "the guys" would see right through. Artie, and Charmaine, are much more interesting characters than their position on the food chain suggests.

[@joshradcliffe8563]

I still haven't figured out just how predatory Tony was being with the $50,000 loan to Artie. If you recall, he was drunk and still reeling from Gloria's death when he insisted that Artie take his loan. It seemed to me that he just wanted to feel good about himself, and give himself a reason to believe that he does help those around him. Maybe subconsciously he realised that he could recoup the debt whatever happened, and wipe his $6,000 tab to boot, but I can't see that it was as wicked and sinister as Artie thought.

[@sundjatamb3061]

@@joshradcliffe8563 true, but also, I think he was trying to prove to himself that what he does is not as toxic as Gloria's death suggested. A losing argument, as it turns out; Tony manipulates literally everybody in his life. Artie being his best (and maybe his only real) friend, he probably felt genuinely hurt that Artie didn't come to him about it--but mainly because of what that said about his lifestyle, since Tony's a severe narcissist. The tab was always gonna go unpaid, and Art was being a dumbass with this young cooz; so on some level he might have felt like if shit went left, it wouldn't destroy their relationship, only clarify one aspect of it...and maybe Artie would learn the hard way about his mid-life crisis decisions. A really manipulative and complicated POV, actually sociopathic. But it does map onto his general pattern with Art, going back to blowing up Vesuvio's in order to "help" him.

The only one in jeopardy was AJ tbh.

[@drakeloki4214]

I think Jimmy was just saying oh God oh God cuz he realized he was going to die. And with most other people who turned rat we get some sort of confirmation in the show but Jimmy we don't hear anything about so I think he might have actually been loyal.

[@chuckn4851]

Skip Lipari confirms it.

[@drakeloki4214]

@@chuckn4851 can you tell me when and where he says Jimmy was definitely a rat? because the closest I can find his when he (paraphraseed)just tells Big P that Jimmy took the rap/ blame so he should feel more secure since they think the rat is dead. but not actually that he was a rat.

Tell me I'm not the only one who read the newspaper articles at 5:10 ! They're hilarious!!! "Acrobatic team member found dead in an apparent effort to juggle too many items at once"! Are you kidding?! Amazing! Another one suggests that a diet doctor ate himself to death at an all-you-can-eat lobsterfest....he also suggested readers eat his books for their daily fibre quota and figured that by telling readers to eat his books, he could sell more and more books after they'd been eaten by readers! Insane!!

I hate this series because I found it too early & now I can’t binge watch all the recaps 😔

[@illtakethebox]

Are you able to use little sound bites of audio from the show? I feel like if borko can, you can do it for a review? Or no

[@davidpowers1175]

When Christopher runs out during the “Tony tells the guys about therapy scene”, I thought that was kind of supposed to represent him running off to therapy, bc he is depressed during the 1st season and Tony tries to talk to him about therapy but Chris sees it as not an option, Tony coming clean about it shows that it is okay, and you won’t be judged. I’m pretty sure Christopher even says right before he leaves “So it’s kind of like marriage counseling?” and then just dips. Probably a completely wrong theory, but that was just what I took from watching the season finale

[@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL]

Very possible. I had always thought if it as Chris being of a different generation that had no opinion on the subject. But I’ve never heard anyone second that so I probably missed the intent...

[@bamafan7353]

I thought Chris was upset, that this guy he loves and looks up to, is actually kinda weak in a sense. Bc in the eyes of the mob, it’s looked at as weak and distrust. So I felt like Chris was upset that his role model is not what he thought.

[@davidpowers1175]

@@bamafan7353 I could see that being the case, but Chris already had some idea that Tony might have been seeing a therapist, he even goes and follows Tony to therapy to keep an eye on him and make sure he’s okay. So I feel like he was upset about Tony seeing a therapist he would’ve shown it earlier on rather than that scene in particular... If that makes sense

[@JFairhart]

@@bamafan7353 - Later, Chris comments that he doesn’t like that Tony’s therapist is a woman. It’s another opportunity to demonstrate how sexist the mob guys were, but it also suggests Chris was not on board with it.

[@coryhoneycutt3699]

Can't say enough thanks for doing these videos. I have since subbed to hbomax to rewatch the series and I'm loving it. Haven't seen the show since its original airing and the show is even better than I remember. Truly an amazing show with an amazing cast with insanely great writing. Thanks for the vids man. They are great.

[@henryesp9284]

Theres a scene where skip lapari confirms about Jimmy being a rat.

[@chuckn4851]

Exactly dude there shouldn't be debate about Jimmy at this point lol

[@foodank_atr817]

Who caught the rat to put in Jimmy's mouth? Did they kill the rat beforehand? Did someone strangle the rat? Do they buy rats at the per store then kill them and freeze em to have on hand to send a message?

[@Bgdn4]

I just started watching this show, was kinda confused. But your spoiling shit for me. DISLIKE

I've really been slacking on getting the first comment. Oh well. Gonna be a good video.

[@PINKKYLIELOUISE]

Like how it’s Tony that Artie listens too when he tells him the exact same thing his wife told him about his small talk when people are trying to eat gets to him more that Tony thinks that he’s not the host he thought he was

They are Sopranos, of course they sing.

[@chriskelly4477]

Sopranos was done brilliant! They would nod at a classic show w/ lots of different things... Here it's the title of the show....one episode they redid a vibe of a CLASSIC SHOW called Dragnet !!!That episode they caught AJ when they went to the pizza parlor!

Will you be doing a season review as well as an episode review? I'd like to get some of the overall takeaways. I like to here your take on the journey thus far. Where have we come from, where do things stand now and where will it be going.

[@saraalibrahim8833]

Why would you spoil the rest of the series in this video? It should only be about this certain episode not the whole series..

[@fizkentv]

"Tony goes to confont his mother" *grabs pillow*

[@bitetheshark1042]

I'm not sure about Larry being a rat. He fed deliberate misinformation specifically to vindicate Tony, and was never referred to in a negative light since he allowed the boss of his family to return home. A rat sells out his collaborators to lighten his own consequences, Larry saved Tony's ass.

[@jameskim1505]

[@PureKino]

Thanks, I plan to!

[@vincentnitti1280]

A couple things I caught while watching this: When Tony shoots Chucks, the word “villain” is displayed as he’s getting killed. Don’t know if there’s any connection but they’re the villains to Tony. When they’re going after Mikey, notice that Mikey died in water, same as Brendon Felone. A possible connection, both dying while in water. Finally, when they get to Vesuvio, Paulie and Silvio are having dinner. Paulie, Silvio, and Tony were all responsible for the deaths of Juniors guys and that rat Jimmy.

Just got blindsided with multiple spoilers for season 2 having never seen the show, watching a recap for season 1 before going into the next season so pretty annoyed ngl.

[@dingdongism]

As someone who has seen the entire series, I gotta say I tend to agree with you. When PK warns about spoilers on the intro screen, the obvious assumption from the viewer is that the spoilers will be about the episode he is about to summarize. Having important details spoiled for the entire series is an entirely different thing to do and in my opinion should be more strongly emphasized by the creator at the front of each video.

[@sweeneytodd011]

One of the many things that stuck with me in this episode is where the ever present Priest gets put in his place by Carmela but prior to this monsignor Jug head basically tells Artie to go for it with Tony and when Artie is turning the other cheek, boon! Terminator Jug head is trying again to get the Artie to pursue the belief that there's something messed up between Tony and the restaurant fire, i mean what is his angle here, Artie new boss of the North Shore, as much wine, Emma Thompson and baked Zetti as he likes.
