[@remonjules]

@@likaner1 You get it, then. It's kind of like those "liminal spaces" images. There's a word for the feeling of dread you experience when you're in an area that's supposed to be populated, but isn't, like a school or a stadium or something. I forget it though. But the use of the boardwalk to get this feeling (since it's typically populated by families, happy people, etc. during the spring/summer) gives it that vibe of "oh fuck, this ain't right".

They nailed the "dreamy" aspect of a dream... like the shit you're doing and seeing is all just a synthesis of your brain. You can't create anything new, just pile together stuff you've already seen. These people aren't the real people, they're your brain's interpretation of them. John Darnielle (a wise man) said it best: "You can get really good reads on your dreams if you think of every character in them as actually being you."

[@mmcneil777]

3:06 - I remember thinking Sil was referring to Big Pussy when he said: ‘Our true enemy has yet to reveal himself’, but I believe Sil was actually referring to Paulie. Pussy was working for the Feds and betraying Tony, but it was Paulie who would be Tony’s most fatal betrayer at a later time. Notice how it was Paulie that Toney immediately saw in the station afterwards through the telescope. Toney deep down knew he needed to get rid of Paulie at some point.

[@bradhorowitz2765]

Well maybe? Certainly tony subconsciously feels that Paulie can’t be trusted. I mean have you met paulie? And tony does have a good grasp of what selfish ppl are like at times. But Sopranos Autopsy website says that Silvio meant Pussy. But that’s the thing sopranos gives you multiple answers. I do agree that paulie was perhaps the enemy. Why? Well I suspect greatly that Paulie was among the one who helped kill Tony in the final season. Without him, the plan to kill tony dosnt go thru. Plans your right that Paulie does betray tony by talking with NY, and he does constantly annoy or go against tony.
