I fast-forward through that scene every time I watch that episode. Sitting through that is cruel and unusual punishment.

It's Meadow's whining I was talking about. Finn took more of that than he needed to.

Noah was a primo character.
 
The old man passed away unexpectedly last March. With mom still alive, she pretty much has everything he left behind. The one thing I did get was his box set of The Sopranos.

Today, with my cable out, is the day I jump back into this.

 
Livia was one of the stars of Season 1. Sure, the show had a ton of stars, but the Tony/Livia dynamic is what sucked me in in Episode 1.

 
I was watching Risky Business for the first time in 20 years and now I realize how Joe Pantoliano got the role of Ralphie. Here he is as Guido the killer pimp:

 
Watched Kennedy and Heidi today. Some awesome stuff within the span of a few minutes of screen time.

Starting here, the look in Christopher's eyes when he realized Tony was about to turn his lights out, and then Tony's dead, murdeous eyes... almost nothingness, staring right back at him. So much different #### is conveyed in his face. And then if you skip ahead to the 10:45 mark, Edie Falco's reaction to the news is superb. You can feel the gut punch.

Sometimes it's the little things that make an episode. For example, when Tony goes to the burnt stables to see poor Pie-O-My, when he comforts Pie's handler, her emotional reaction is very well done.

 
I'm sure I mentioned this before, but I love the sequence where Ralphie tries to make peace with Johnny Sack on the phone regarding Ginny. Tony's analysis of human nature and the way to handle the situation is so spot on.

 
Another interesting scene:

Elliot Kupferberg drives like a #### in a parking garage and just happens to anger a walking Tony Soprano. As Kupferberg relates the story to Melfi, he frames it like he's the victim. Kupferberg is the #### here, but he uses the anecdote to point out that violence could break out at any time even if you are innocent.

And what's with the marbles in Tony's mouth in S6? It was really noticeable re-watching it this week.

Example. He calls his guy in Vegas to get him a suite. Only it comes out "schweet"...

You hear it in almost every sentence that season.

Yep, that bugged me, too, how they changed how he talked in the last season. I remember reading that they had a dialect coach to make his accent even more Jersey-realistic, but it just seemed odd to change it that much that late in the game.

Somewhat forgotten is the fact the Chase may not even have an answer to the question, "Is Tony dead?" I understand the need for closure - that's expected. But Chase is smart enough to know that the answer to this question is just like the random nature of an aloof universe: unsure and ultimately lonely.

In my opinion, the ending is intentionally left open to personal interpretation. It's literally written on the screen in the scene itself. When Tony is picking the song to play on the tabletop jukebox, there's a closeup of the selections... he picks Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'"... however, the other song paired on the jukebox card is Journey's "Any Way You Want It". It stays on the screen for more than just a brief moment. That kind of thing is absolutely done on purpose.

I remember reading they wanted that song but couldn't get the rights or something like that. It would have made more sense.

 
I still chuckle at the fact that, for as much attention to detail as Chase put into that final scene, Don't Stop Believin' is incorrectly listed (it has it as Don't Stop Believing).

Caught Christopher's intervention the other night, that was some great TV. I was rolling.

Yeah, I would guess that scene has been commented on more than any other in this thread, except maybe the final cut-to-black scene.

The look Paulie gives after Ade says to Christopher "you can no longer function as a man" is easily, unequivocably, the most hilarious 1 second of the entire series.

Damn. This sucks. Not because Gandolfini was a good actor - he obviously was. This sucks because the guy was only 51 and had a wife and kids.

RIP
