It absolutely kills me when Janice’s prayer group friend just collapses as soon as Tony and Carmela walk in. It makes it seem like he’s doing it to get out of conversations he doesn’t want to take part in lol

I think the title ties in nicely with Tony's humanity popping up in this episode. His fleeting moments of humanity was always what's saving him from becoming a complete monster and we're getting small moments where it's trying to fight it's way up to the surface to save him from completely succumbing to his worst self, which yes, can cause even more harm than he already does. Imagine a Ralphie or Ritchie as a boss. Small differences in the grand scheme, but maybe one extra person not dead for little reason, so it's not nothing.
Otherwise yeah, not much to this episode except some more character shading. Kind of a Sopranos version of a light christmas special. Even with the goofy sitcom transition editing to underscore it.

There are good men in the show, they're all just peripheral.

Yeah, I'd give the edge to the season 6B episodes. Peak arthouse film/literary short story episodes. I'd probably substitute Walk like a Man with Made in America, even if it doesn't immediately follow it.

Good that they watched Pine Barrens directly afterwards so that they can watch it fresh without seeing all the comments below that are hyping it up... but it's kinda hilarious that for all the effort that people (including myself) put in in the comments telling people not to leave spoilers, they get a mini spoiler in each episode just from their streaming platform showing screenshots and having a blurb about the episode. So they're already going into Pine Barrens expecting it to go in a certain direction from the start.

The relationship between Tony and Pussy is always interesting to me because it's another instance of Tony breaking the mold of how a Mafioso should act and feel. Every other mobster in this episode remarks that they would have loved to be the one that killed Pussy, while Tony is seemingly the only one who grieved and is still haunted by the fact that he had to kill his best friend. He even got a panic attack and has to run to his shrink because of it. He still sees him as a former friend while the others reduce him to a rat. This distinction between Tony's empathy and the rest of the mob is also shown in the previous episodes with regards to Tracee, whereas the other mobsters dismissed her as just a whore and thinking the only thing Ralph did wrong was disrespecting the Bing. Definitely one of the most fascinating aspects of Tony's character to me.
In the flashbacks we also see that Junior wanted to be boss before Jackie. Pretty intriguing to see Tony throwing his support for his best friend taking power over his own blood.
This episode also has one of my all-time favorite Sopranos shots, which is Tony leaning on the guardrails facing us while Pussy and Jackie turn their backs to us (4:15 in the video). A great visual shorthand for him losing two of his best friends while he's the only one who remains.

There’s so many small relationships that are barely touched on. Uncle Junior really felt some kind of way that he was passed up for promotion while his younger brother’s son’s best friend took charge. Jackie Sr’s death by natural causes really set the entire show in motion
It’s really interesting to see the effect that Charmaine has on Tony, her scolding him was enough to make him leave the restaurant. I think their connection is really understated, her turning him down when they were teenagers and living her best life still bothers him. Meanwhile he literally blew up her restaurant
It’s mentioned in passing but the man who Tony’s father Johnny cut the finger off of (Mr Satriale) ended his life shortly after helping Johnny get the strip club. Tony goes on and on about Italian heritage but the two main businesses that he runs are literally built off the back of an Italian man his father drove to suicide

if you’re curious there’s actually a deleted scene of when pussy initially got entangled with the fbi. i think it’s for the best that they removed since it’s a bit redudant but it’s an interesting scene regardless https://youtu.be/UKSTJbCXyMw?feature=shared

As an introvert myself, I totally understand Bobby's predicament. I think I'd rather go into witness protection than dress as Santa.

Tony told Dr. Melfi that its been years because he didn't want to give accurate details, even to his doctor.

I think one of the most surprising things about the first time I watched Sopranos was how it had some of the best dream sequences I've ever seen, honestly what a show

Your surprise that the scene with the Russian was cut is hilarious, calm down girls, just like some people warned after episode 6... the violent nightmare of this season is over, now it's more balanced

1. I feel like you guys love interpreting dreams. Maybe another channel where you can interpret all our dreams. 2. My fave bit in the episode is they can't find Santa's beard cause Bobby is wearing it on his head :). 3. The next episode is prollllllly the most famous sopranos episode, so enjoy!!

I didn't say anything of the sorts. Believe me I can consume complex media and I very much am enjoying this show. I can still tell every single man in this show to go fuck themselves. Shocker

Every episode of this show I say 'I hate men' and I'm not even exaggerating. It's extra sad to see young boys be pieces of shit like damn did you even try. Fuck you Jackie Jr.
