thing about AJ is despite not really harming anyone ever (besides giving his parents grief) he somehow ends up being the least likeable character of the whole series

I'm pretty sure that isn't in Season 6, hope I haven't spoiled anything Stevie!

That's from a few years before season 5 - pretty sure it's during Meadow's first year at Columbia when Carm guilt-trips Tony into donating like $40k to the school

OK AM ABT TO DROP MAJOR SPOILERS SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ALL THE EPISODES.....
I can't believe I managed to go 4 years without even the slightest hint of how this show ended. Of course I was sort of stunned. I thought it was really stupid how Melfi reads one fucking article and after 7 years of dedication is suddenly all "OMG I JUST CAN'T; GET OUT." It seems totally out of line w/ her character. Still trying to figure out what I think of the last scene, but why was there so much emphasis on Meadow's botched parallel parking jobs? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Also, I feel like the only truly likeable characters by the end of the show are Ginny Sack and Meadow (who was pretty insufferable early on). I hated Paulie and pretty much every other male on the show by the end (spare Johnny Cakes who I compleeeetely fell in love with and wanted to marry). Rly wish Ginny actually got her own spinoff.

oh no. and her husband died earlier this year? so sad. 'the weight' is probably my favourite episode, and she's amazing in it. RIP.

Ms. Borino-Quinn, who did no more acting after “The Sopranos” went off the air in 2007, worked at a law firm in New Brunswick, N.J.
FUUUUCCCKKK I lived there for like four fucking years and never knew this!!!! I SO seriously would have gone to visit her, too.

yeah saw this the other day, too bad. she was great as Ginny. RIP.

One F.B.I. agent told us early on that on Monday morning they would get to the F.B.I. office and all the agents would talk about The Sopranos. Then they would listen to the wiretaps from that weekend, and it was all Mob guys talking about The Sopranos, having the same conversation about the show, but always from the flip side. We would hear back that real wiseguys used to think that we had somebody on the inside. They couldn’t believe how accurate the show was.

She had cancer the whole time we worked with her, but it was not spoken of. Nancy said to David, “Please keep me working. That’s keeping me alive.” One of the funnest times I remember is shooting a family scene with a lot of food in the room. It was like three in the morning at the end of a long day of shooting, and they had done Livia’s coverage and then they were doing my coverage. Here’s the camera, here’s Nancy, and she’s actually making faces and she’s eating a piece of pepperoni—slapping on her tongue—in the middle of my scene. She was trying to make me laugh for my coverage, like a little kid does right out of college.

So I talked to David on the phone and told him how I thought The Sopranos was like a Russian novel, and he told me how he’d never read any Russian novels

I freaking hate that Steve Buscemi is a character in this show. Lots of kind of iffy moments in the Sopranos but most of its flaws are endearing in some way; Buscemi just sucks, comes on the show and does his I'm-the-weird-Steve-Buscemi-guy thing for an entire season.

The Steve Buscemi arc is unbelievably great

I don't really see a lot of Buscemi's standard "I'm-the-weird-Steve-Buscemi-guy" thing in that role, personally

saw an old cheers the other day w/ nancy marchand as frasier's mom, a psychiatrist. she made a ref to 'scooping sherbet at howard johnson's' also so clearly big episode for the sopranos writers room in general.

don't you get it they just ended the show in the middle of a random moment bcz it was a cool interesting new thing to do, that's all, nbd

Quantum ending FYI.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 8 June 2013 10:18 (ten years ago) link
I don't want to accept that Tony got shot, 'cos it's a rubbish ending. Or, like, the rest of the last episode was pointless and boring, then. Actually, I think the last episode blew it. The final scene is extremely well made, but it doesn't fit with anything else.

the only better ending would be if the whole family got sent to prison and they all shared the same cell and they started talking about buttons

s1ocki you are crazyit is about his anxietythat every moment a car will be revving like the train in the godfather & a guy will be lurking & a prison sentence hanging,he doesn't actually have to get shot

yeah I thought that the night of but chase has said enough things over the years to sway me to tony's dead
― balls, Saturday, 8 June 2013 19:03 (ten years ago) link
who cares what chevy chase has to say? death of the author, how many times
― w⚓f♠ (wins), Saturday, 8 June 2013 19:06 (ten years ago) link
well all he's said is that it's all there in the text but if we're ignoring that too maybe a dingo ate tony
― balls, Saturday, 8 June 2013 19:11 (ten years ago) link
i agree in general that tony dies, but what's so interesting about how its presented is how that assumption is always taking place in an extra-textual space--"death" isn't really something that signifies anything to you while you're alive. so i think it goes both ways: in the terms of the text tony is suspended forever in dread and anxiety and on the "other" side he's nothing.
