2025-05-13 17:09:32 +0000 UTCProbably one of my all-time favourite episode. Glad you girls think the same way haha. As the discussion mentioned, we see how the Soprano siblings are turning into their parents in this episode. Besides Janice scolding Nica, Tony being fixated on the morbid story of the child drowning is similar to Livia's obsession with the stories of mothers killing their babies. Tony also quotes Johnny Boy when he's opening gifts. Janice going "Who, me? What did I do?" in her confrontation with Carmela is also something Livia used to say after saying something horrible to someone: pushing their buttons, and then playing innocent. Chris with drugs and alcohol, Tony B for wanting to run a legitimate business, Carmela for wanting to have her own "thing", Janice for working on her anger, and now Bobby for being less violent than his father. Tony's resentment for people who improve themselves is quite disturbing. Crabs in the bucket mentality.

2025-05-13 16:21:34 +0000 UTCWhen talking about Meadow and Carmela defending and covering for Tony, Lola said: —"at what point is the thing that you pretend to be, the thing that you are?" This is a perfect callback to 'College' (s1e05) when Tony is still trying to manage how truthful he is with Meadow about his job, and he looks up at the quotation from Nathaniel Hawthorne written on the wall: —“No man can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true.”

2025-05-13 07:34:19 +0000 UTCBack then, the conventional wisdom was that you drop the gun after murdering someone. You're supposed to wear gloves too, obviously. But keeping the gun is more dangerous than throwing it away because ballistics can concretely tie a gun to a murder. Whereas prints would require you to be in the system etc. Nowadays, you should probably destroy the gun because DNA evidence is light years ahead compared to when this was filmed. The point is, this was the Sopranos being realistic. Also, I think you actually couldn't own an AR-15 in New Jersey when this was filmed. You can now. But the scene is meant to betray that these guys don't care about the law. Even now, Tony is is a felon, so he couldn't own it.

2025-05-13 03:59:59 +0000 UTCOn Carmela, I think her storyline this past season (6A), felt more like a coda than a full arc that she has had in the past. It does feel like Long Term Parking (the episode where she formally went back to Tony and Adriana dies) was the actual climax. There was still great individual episodes for her, like Cold Stones, but even that was because of the broader themes being advanced rather than us learning more about her. Even with Tony and Chris, while some beats are being revisited, we're at least seeing them go deeper and deeper into depravity with more texture mapping. Generational trauma is accurate, but so is the idea of generational progress. It's subtle in the episode but it's there and in general the show likes peacocking something more overt but run different ideas as undercurrents to either further comment on or even contradict the main episodic ideas. Also AV club has the best write-ups for these last stretch of episodes.

2025-05-13 03:00:54 +0000 UTCIt's better to leave the gun that isn't registered to you and can't be traced, then to be found with that gun later and ballistically matched to the bullet. "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." ~The Godfather.

2025-05-13 02:58:25 +0000 UTCThe scene where they're talking about how some of their relatives were "illegal" immigrants but "they oughta build a wall now" is so perfect

2025-05-13 02:28:14 +0000 UTCThis episode is one of the perfect representations of how Tony isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is. Leaving morality aside for a moment, Tony admits that he's planning to make Bobby his #2 in place of Chris, and use him to insulate himself from repercussions as Boss. If he had managed to hold back his nagging insults towards Janice, the trip would have ended with Bobby even more devoted to Tony for the promotion, and Tony even better protected than he is now. But he just couldn't keep himself in control, and so he made a problem where there wasn't one before. Regarding your questions of jurisdiction, Tony is originally arrested by COUNTY law enforcement, which is one-step up from local town/city police. They have jurisdiction over crimes committed in their county. The FBI technically speaking doesn't have the authority to force them to drop the charges, but as we see they have a whole lot of informal power to pressure them to do so to not get in their way. By persuading the county to drop these charges, the FBI can roll them into the ongoing RICO case as part of the larger web. The essence of a RICO prosecution is going over all of the connections and interweaving parts of a criminal organization instead of any individual crime. Tony would almost certainly beat the charges in this instance (There is NO chain of custody or providence with this gun), but if you make it part of the RICO case you don't NEED to convict him for having a gun with hollow-point bullets. You just need to use it to paint a picture of him as a mob boss.

2025-05-13 00:54:29 +0000 UTCI'm sorry but I find it interesting when sometimes women see other women acting a certain way and say "no woman would ever act that way". I think you mean to say YOU would never act that way, which is fine, but it seems weird to say no woman ever would. I'm sure men do this too but every time I've seen this mentality it's been from women. Anyway, I just find it fascinating.
