My favorite episode is Another Toothpick. It really shows the morality or lack there of of Tony. He finally met his match in the form of that traffic officer. That man was everything Tony was not, and he knew it. You had to feel bad for the officer from the beginning when Tony and Carmela were giving him a hard time. Even though the officer lost his position and his overtime he kept his dignity at the end. That offended look he gave Tony at the end was one of my favorite moments in the show. Also Tony sending a sick Bobby Bacala, Sr to kill Mustang Sally was a bad decision that led to the old man's death

Favorite Paulie moment. I lost it when he threw the chair at the ghosts:

"I'm asking you to leave, sir."
"Yeah? f*ckIN' QUEEHS!"
I watched that scene over and over again. I read on another Sopranos forums where they were discussing the spiritual world that exists in the series. For example, Chris going to purgatory.
Did the clairvoyant know Paulie from media sources or are the writers suggesting that these guys are the real deal? He seemed to know a lot of info that freaked Paulie out.
@:GTAvanja: Watched that one a million times too. It's classic alright.

I've been rewatching The Sopranos for a while now, and man, I really wish they used more of Junior. He was a f*cking awesome character early on and they really should have kept him as the boss for another season.

@GTAVanja: Haha, "I stick motherf*cking provolone in my socks at night so they smell like your sisters crotch in the morning". I love it when Sil gets mad, because he's usually very calm and collected like any good consigliere should be, so it's an amusing rarity to see him kick off like that.
@ThePinkFloydSound: It's funny how paranoid and superstitious Paulie gets in other episodes.

Just got into this, already up to Season 3, really loving it so far, took me ages to figure out why I recognised the psychiatrist. Then it hit me, Goodfella's!

I'm up to season 4 on my third run through...yeah, my third. I am obsessed with The Sopranos.
What's everyones opinion on the series finale Made In America? I don't think it's as disappointing as people say, I like how they left it open for us to decide for ourselves what happens to Tony in the diner and if Sil survives his coma.

The finale gets better on multiple viewings, IMO.Tony's final scenes with Paulie and Junior are two particular standouts. It's a shame too many people only remember the last scene when they immediately speak of "Made in America". Along with "The Blue Comet", the final two hours of The Sopranos are two of the finest hours of television this side of the millennium.

I never thought it was disappointing...
and not because I think they left it open. I think it's clear cut and I still loved it. when it comes to Sil, obviously it's left open. but I'm 99% certain that Tony is dead meat.
in the episode Soprano Home Movies, there's a scene in which Tony and Bobby are sitting in a row boat having a conversation about life and death. this is shortly after (or just before, I forget) Tony sent Bobby on a mission to whack some guy, and Bobby was wondering about what happens when it's your turn to die. during their conversation, Bobby distinctly utters the words "You probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?" implying that death provides no warning, and that everything probably just goes black before you even know it. especially for people like them, gangsters, who are typically murdered from behind.
in the episode Blue Comet, there is a flashback to this exact scene minutes before Bobby is whacked. this is Bobby's premonition that will carry over to the final episode.
in the final scene of the final episode Tony is getting ready to order his food and a man passes by him going to the restroom. the man can be seen distinctly wearing a member's-only-style jacket. in the credits he is also listed as "Man in Members Only jacket."
the mafia is a member's-only club. you're either in or you're out. and once you're in, you're in for life. there's no getting out except through death. these are the rules of Cosa Nostra that were famously popularized by The Godfather films; the preeminent gangster drama of all time.
in the very first Godfather film Michael Corleone cements his loyalty and membership to the mafia by pulling off a spectacular hit job in a restaurant. how does he do it? he goes to the restroom to retrieve a gun that was hidden and waiting for him. he comes back out and shoots his enemies before they have any time to react.
Tony took a bullet in the side of the head from the guy who went to the bathroom. he was looking up just as his daughter walked in and suddenly everything goes black without warning... just as Bobby imagined.
as if this wasn't enough, the first episode of the final season was even called Member's Only. and what happened in that episode? Tony was critically shot for the first time in his life. now he was only shot by his Uncle Junior on accident, and he survives of course, but the clues are overwhelming.

Wow! When was this created and how come I never saw it, such an awesome title as well! Nice.
This is not one of my favorite scenes from the series but none the less it is good and also funny for a few reasons that I will highlight. The part that caught my eye was when Tony and Phil were half way through the chase and then Phil throws out his ice cream, I mean common they are like children these guys!
You guys might wanna check this out. It's too funny, the amount of times in The Sopranos that they say "Ooohh" and "Hoo" is bloody hilarious. Even I've started going "Oohh" now to everything

Haha, best one is "Ohhh maroné!".
I'm up to season 6 for the third time, it gets even more tense each time I watch it, even when I know whats going to happen!
One of my favourite scenes is in the episode Live Free Or Die, when they talk to Finn about Vito Spatafore being homosexual, it's an hilarious scene, Chris makes me laugh "Vito a fag, big construction tycoon! Tone, when he was always saying he was greasing the union, who knew that's what he meant"...hahaha.
What do you guys think happened in the last episode?
When I first watched it, I thought that's simply Chase's way of ending the show, nothing subtle or anything, however the members only guy did make me suspicious at first, but then I thought it was AJ's bodyguard or something since he entered the restaurant with AJ but after going through the net and seeing that huge writeup (you guys have probably read it) I'm pretty convinced Tony is dead, which really wasn't what I wanted for him. BUT, what I wanted doesn't matter, it was one of the... no, the BEST ending I've EVER seen. EVER.
AJ was a f*cking joke though.
David Chase is a f*cking genius. I'm waiting for that new show he's doing, which has Gandolfini in it!

I hope he didn't get whacked, but Chase has left it open for us to think and decide for ourselves, which is an ending I prefer. What I'm more concerned about is the fate of Silvio after he was put in a coma after a botched hit in The Blue Comet. Even if Tony didn't get whacked he was going to get indicted on several RICO charges anyway after Carlo flipped.
I've watched this show from beginning to end 3 times now, should I give it a rest or watch it with commentary?
If Tony got whacked, who do you think is behind it?
I mean the Lupertazzis seem unlikely since they agreed to back off and look the other way if Phil was to get whacked, unless of course they were lying.
Btw, Meadow is the definition of wolf in sheep's clothing. She burns Tony's cash like hell by changing her mind about college whenever the f*ck she feels like it and I feel she directly contributed to the war between the Tony and Phil when she ran her damn mouth to Tony about Coco. f*cking ironic considering she's the one who said 'don't say anything' to Carmela when Tony was coming down the stairs.
Basically Meadow doesn't give a sh*t about Tony or Carmela. She uses Tony's power when it suits her and puts on this 'I want to help the underprivileged' bullsh*t facade to cover it up.
AJ on the other hand, what a f*cking pathetic mess. I mean really, when I saw him crying after Tony pulls him out of the pool, I was just disgusted.
Not to mention the complete U-Turn of his 'morals' when Tony and Carm got him that spot in that movie.
Funny thing is, AJ doesn't give two sh*ts about Tony or Carm either. He burns Tony's money by being a lazy bum, and then talks about 'morals'. One of the biggest hypocrites in the show.
But hey, what all of this is saying is how awesome of a show this is and how talented Chase is.

The Lupertazzi's could have been behind it, maybe they wanted to get Phil out of the picture and then Tony so they could then fully control all the construction jobs and other sh*t that they had going on with Tony. With half of the Sopranos' top guys out of action they would have no trouble taking over North Jersey. The only reason I could see them wanting to get rid of Phil in the first place was because they obviously didn't want a war and his decision making was costing them alot, instead of business it was always personal with him and he could never let bygones be bygones.
Yeah if it wasn't for the Coco incident the war would have probably been avoided, but I wouldn't blame Meadown, the way Tony handled it was a bad decision, ofcourse he was going to be angry, but storming in there with a gun and curb stomping the guy? Come on, Tony was never fit to be the boss of a family really, but I guess that's what made it a good show.
Hmm. Yeah the Lupertazzis were always a scheming bunch.
What if, just what if Junior was behind it?
I mean I remember Janice hunting for some money of his, so he probably had the cash, and definitely had the connections.
Oh and I found a pretty interesting theory which says that Tony lives from here.
Its by 'AT'. Search for 'I have just watched the final scene again, and I think I got something together.' and you'll get to the comment.
I never thought of it this way really. The final scene could be showing us that Tony enters the diner, and before he sits down he envisions the possibility of him getting whacked and how it would be done, which means Tony might not have sat down in the diner at all, maybe he left after envisioning this. The fact that Tony's wearing a different shirt in his vision also supports this I think
