THE Sopranos thread

"I've said my piece, Chrissy!"

And the part were they take him to hospital 

"He slipped on the kitchen counter spraying for ants?"

"He was wearing socks"

Recently finished a rewatch. Think it was the third time I've seen it all the way through. I remember watching the final episode live - at the time I was disappointed with the final series, I wanted blood and guts and gun fights. I couldn't even rewind the end as I was watching on Freeview back then. 

 

I definitely appreciate it now lve been able to watch it in my own time all these years later. 

 

Probably the best TV show ever, (though I love The Shield as much).

I remember watching the final episode of series 4 were carmela and Tony split and being disappointed. Leading up to it it looked like the episode would be about Johnny sac and Tony killing carmine.

Instead it switched up and the episode was about Tony and carmela. I was disappointed.

However when I rewatched it a year later I was stunned how good it was

Yeah it's funny. Waiting a week for an episode back then - it was an eternity, and momentum was lost. Plus it's not like now - for this rewatch after each episode I've read the AV Club rewatch reviews, and all the comments. 

 

Plus maybe I appreciate it more now I'm older. Probably helps that I generally know what's going to happen - the final series and episode was like a cup final. Anything could have happened, and probably could never live up to the hype and expectation.

 

Watching it now, the final episode is a masterpiece. Even though I know how it's going to end, the final 30 minutes had me completely tense. I still remember sitting in my flat when the episode originally ended and thinking, "what the fuck?". I obviously wasn't the only one!

I remember thinking my stream must have fucked up and loaded up others, fast forwarded towards the end with the same result each time. Must have watched meadow try and park that car 5 times before I realised.

She parked it better than I can.

The closest Tony Soprano came to having his lights punched out since he crossed Jamal Ginsburg.

And no doubt spending his evenings down by the docks being a little hooah.

A bit late replying to this. I used to tape the sopranos every week (remember tape?!) and before each new episode, I would rewatch the week before. It was great. And I loved you were watching it at the same pace of others.

 

It's great to binge watch again now - even if it's a bunch of episodes rather than the whole thing. But I really enjoyed that wait and looking forward to each episode. 

 

Although I'm always jealous of any cunt who's never watched it.

Just read an unconfirmed claim that Tony Sirico, aka Paulie Walnuts, has just passed away. 
 

Shit news, if true.

Looks genuine. 
 

Sadly.

Now we know for sure, the Russian did make it out of the woods.

Three hits within a tight timeframe.

Well that sucks, I’ll never be able to not wash my hands after tying my shoelaces again.
