The Sopranos 3x13

Catholicism is the most based. It's structured and worldwide. No 1000 denominations bs. You can have people of all ethnicities as fathers. It's Apostolic and they spread it worldwide where eastern orthodoxy is ancient and cool it hasn't spread worldwide like Catholicism as much idk.

That weird ending g LOL

What’s interesting to me about the military school storyline is it’s one of pop culture’s last depictions of the military pre-911 ( this episode aired in the spring of 2021). The very idea that the military would go to war is treated like an afterthought in the episode.

I love when he’s talking to Tony in a earlier episode abt Richie being a rat, he doesn’t even say that’s my uncle you’re talking about he says “That’s my father’s brother your talking about” My man couldn’t stop mentioning his fatha 😭😭

I never noticed it when I first watched it but after the second time you can see his death was rushed😂 And at the end how long it took Vito to get in the car😭

Loved season 3, and the show only gets darker man. Loved season 4 too

I personally love this episode, was much more about the consequences for Tony and after effects of the mob life and parallel with Jackie/AJ i guess more than like a crazy bang bang finale but ep 12 was pretty much that imo...ill just say if ya'll want a crazy finale tho then get ready for season 4's haha. 9/10 for this one imo, sets up alot for season 4 aswell.

Ya'll pretty much figured out what the ending was right before when you said 'can we learn what this means in our language'...i think the end just showed that every culture and language can appreciate that kind of moment at a funeral or an emotional song to reminisce, etc is universal. So it just was the same song but in dif languages so everyone could relate haha.

The guy creeping was just a random relative I think. Never to be seen again. Meadow was drunk and in mourning, that's why I think her emotions were all over the place. Meadow sees the hypocrisy of her family, but in front of the world, she has to make excuses and answer for her parents choices. She knows that she could easily have gone down the same path as Jackie, or her brother could. Silvio is Bruce Springsteens lead guitarist.

When Ralph and Tony had the conversation after Jackie Jr. messed up, there are really 2 conversations going on there. The surface conversation, and the coded one. Tony is basically telling Ralph that this kid has to go. He's putting it on Ralph because the Apriles are like family, but the rules are the rules. The dope shot at made men, and he has to be put down. Go back to the previous episode, Ralph walks out of the meeting in shock because he's been given his orders to have his ladies son killed. Tony isn't angry because Ralph followed orders, but officially Ralph made the decision.

Guy who shot Jackie was his cousin. That's why he looked so distraught.

Warning: Pointless long-winded diatribe incoming. Agreed with User12262844: This episode is excellent. In the show's first episode, Tony describes to Dr. Melfi that he feels he got in at the end and that the best is behind him. With season three's conclusion we finally see that he was right all along. The friendships we once loved to observe in the show are falling apart. The son of a former boss dies and nobody attends his funeral. And the FBI plants an agent very close to Tony himself. We've seen the Sopranos family and its extended network at their height over the previous three seasons: Now comes the slow, painful decline. In the universe of the Sopranos, just like in real life, people can't handle experiencing dissonance - a conflict between their inner selves and the realities of their lives. Characters who find themselves in this state are forced to pick a direction to go in: Can they make change to bring their lives back in accordance with their perception of self and the values they believe they hold? Or will they compromise themselves in order to avoid having to do that? A fundamental (maybe THE fundamental) question of the Sopranos is "Is change possible?" Carmela was confronted by this dissonance when she met with the psychiatrist Dr. Melfi recommended. She crashed, as all people experiencing this dissonance do, until she decided - as most do - that she'd rather make changes to herself than to her environment. "Learn to live on what the good part of him earns." What if Tony has no good part? And Tony's entire story, in every season, is him grappling with dissonance of his own. And now, in this episode, we see Meadow confront the same issue. She's caught between acknowledging the reality of her family's existence and defending her perception of it. Between acknowledging the truth about what happened to Jackie and denying her family's involvement. She oscillates between these positions a few times throughout the episode (and throughout the show): When we first see her after she's learned about Jackie's death, she's acknowledging the truth in a confrontational conversation with Carmela. Then, in the kitchen with Jackie's sister and cousin, she's in denial. And finally at dinner, with Junior singing, she's stuck again with the truth because of what she's encountering: She's stuck in a room, where they're supposedly gathered to mourn Jackie's death. But in reality it's a bunch of gangsters crying over one of their own singing, inspired to "smell the roses" because he's beat cancer and house arrest (and let's not forget: Junior is guilty, he DESERVES the house arrest - he deserves prison). They're all crying, touched by the sentimentality of a crook's song, when they're the ones to blame for Jackie's death. And I don't mean that Jackie isn't responsible for his own death (the kid's a moron, he nearly drowned in three inches of water at a penguin exhibit), but rather he's yet another casualty of the lifestyle in general. Meadow talks about how Jackie was raised: His destiny was as preordained as Tony's was, and as preordained as AJ's is. The saccharine hypocrisy is too much for her to bear, and she crashes. She'll have to pick a direction to go in soon, just like her parents. Tony says he hopes she becomes a pediatrician, and moves far away from him. Will she? The show will get darker as it progresses. Themes of cancer, predestination, the "rotten Soprano" gene, and the like will intensify. We're entering black waters now. People often divide the show at this point: The ups of the first three seasons, versus the downs of the three to come. Everyone has the half that they prefer. Personally, I think every single season of the Sopranos is amazing. But it only gets better from this point. We're about to move from a great television show, to the greatest television show ever made. Note about the money that passed hands between Vito and Furio: That wasn't payment for Jackie's death. That was Ralphie paying Furio as way of apology for him getting shot by Jackie. It was essentially a payment to forgive Jackie, who at that time Ralphie hadn't yet decided what to do with. Tony was desperate for Ralphie to forgive Jackie (for reasons related to what I discussed above). He just didn't want to be the one to give the order - one of you called this, I get your names mixed up lol. What pushed Ralphie into deciding to kill Jackie was the hit he was taking to his reputation. Note in the scene with Ralphie, Sil, and Paulie - Silvio revealed that everyone knew where Jackie was hiding (so Ralphie could have killed him at any time), but in that same scene they also mocked him for being humiliated by his girlfriend's son. Then Tony reveals that Jackie had called him, and not Ralphie, looking for forgiveness. That's all it took to seal the deal. Great reaction as always. Seatbelts buckled for the back half of the show.

And to the end talk, Tony defiantly knew about wat happened to Jackie

User12262844

Bralik was right about Aj's actions kinda being Tony's fault, because his whole life so far he's been spoiled and neglected. I think his actions defiantly show that.

User12262844

"Tomorrow I can be on time, but you'll be stupid forever" I fuckin love Ralphie Lmao

User12262844

Y'all trippin this episode was great, that's wat I like about the Sopranos. you don't need a finale with explosions and guns blazing, it really was about the characters. And as you'll soon see alot was built up for season 4. Overall I think it was a great finale to a great season. Season 4 is one of my favorites so I'm real excited to see the reactions!

User12262844

pualie straight up refuses a drink like ralphie at vesuvios

Edward

jackie got whacked cuz he wanted to be like his dad and the company of his dad. AJ broke into school and is getting punished for it yet tony is the boss of people whose job it is is to break into places and steal 100K from a safe. Tony says to aj "you see" when all thats going on is kids being like their parents

Edward

There is a legal privilege with clergy.

One thing about this episode is that Jackie's death scene is EASILY the worst scene of this show, lol. He's walking down a clear road with no obvious hiding places, and the fattest Mfer on the show, just appears out of nowhere (Fr, where could he be that Jackie would not see him🤣), shoots him once (with a gun that has no kickback or shell casing), and he falls in a snowpile, when there's no snow anywhere else. SMH. They had to have run out of budget or something. I think Tony definitely knows what happened to Jackie. Everybody knows; the drug dealer shit are lies to tell the wives and family, but deep down, they know too. Agreed about the rewrites, they had to spin the wheels plotwise this season and it shows, but Sopranos is damn near a sitcom with all the fun characters, so they made it entertaining as hell stil the whole time. It's actually one of my favorite seasons, consistently hilarious and some wild, but great tangents.

mbds

The money was from the construction project that is happening. Not to pay for the Jackie hit.

I love how y'all featured Omar in the thumbnail pic. LUL
