My fave part of the Janice/Ritchie end was Tony's look of amazement when he enters the house and realizes what happened.

i feel like not enough attention has been paid to latebloomer's bombshell declaration that a fucking horse will be a guest at a sopranos convention

also, googling 'pie-oh-my' led me to this user review of that episode from imdb which i feel needs to be quoted in full

The Sopranos

A classic take on the most beloved genre which clearly suggests the crazy love it received from the audience but also left a long lasting impression on critics and awards shows where it took away five justified Golden Globes to its home. The Sopranos is a character driven series about a family that basically runs the whole town, just illegally.

The writing is adaptive, gripping and ground-breaking on terms of its structure that is so eerily easy as it slips away from the audience like some jelly; it is sweet, nutritious and immensely pleasing. It is rich on technical aspects like its metaphorical cinematography, sharp sound effects and up beating songs along with palpable background score. The series is shot beautifully, each and every color sparks up neatly; especially the visuals that are taken in sunny days are amazing.

The performance by the cast is plausible since the effort is clearly visible but Gandolfini, Bracco, Falco and Imperioli stands alone due to their easiness in their acts. Gandolfini; at the heart of it, oozes power and the aegis nature which is what helps makers keep the audience rooting for the character.

The relationship between Gandolfini and Bracco is the highlight of the series due its fragile tone which is soothing to experience as it lights up the series in a whole new way. Pragmatic conversations, three dimensional character, gut-wrenching politics, brawny dialogues and brilliant execution are the high points of the feature that makes it one of the best series.

Season 04

This fourth act is more professional and business than personal and yet it is more emotionally competent, if not among the best. But with new additions of characters and expected threat, it has got the right amount of crispiness as much as it is husky.

Pie-O-My

Drunk in its emotional conflicts, it demands viewers' attention and creates the anticipated genuine impact whose credit goes to Gandolfini's stellar performance, while the rest of the act is set upon backstage more than it usually does.

hah when Paulie saves that painting from the fire then hangs it in his living room, and even after it has been painted over the eyes follow him round the room, so classic. On our re-watch we speculated about which member of the cast & crew would have got to keep it

Neil S, Monday, 11 March 2019 17:40 (five years ago) link

gracenote how he painted over tonys whole outfit but kept his face

Goddamnit the Sopranos is so good. The Sopranos is life. Prestige TV is shit. Everything else is shit.

Damn I forgot how funny Anthony Jr. is. Just a perfect character.

Minor subplot but great is the speeding ticket with the cop who winds up working at Fountains of Wayne. At first it doesn’t make sense — why does Tony vascillate between vengeful and soft hearted? But in the last scene it becomes clear: it’s control. He can’t stand the fact that there’s someone he can’t manipulate, whether through rage, bribes, kindness, or displays of power.

it's not great, but The Many Saints of Newark sounded like an Ed Burns movie

Every time I see it I picture Peter Finch ranting about just how mad he is and just how unwilling he is to take it anymore.

Goody Rickels on the Dime (Old Lunch), Monday, 18 March 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link

The title feels menacing to me because I know the context and read extensively about the riots not that long ago, but I would imagine general audiences might think of it as like Manhattan Pt. 2.
