Just watched this one on Thursday, it's was very obvious but I'm not sure what else they could have done at tht point.

True. They probably figured they needed one last scene with her and Tony, instead of the season just starting and her character already being dead. I always wonder how this show would have gone had Nancy Marchand survived until the end. Probably would have much, much different.

A final tribute to her.The producers of The Sopranos were able to employ digital technology to insert outtakes and scenes from previous episodes featuring the late Nancy Marchand into an episode in which Marchand's character, Livia Soprano, dies peacefully in her sleep, the New York Times reported. Sopranos creator David Chase told the newspaper that Livia often repeated bits of dialogue that helped to establish her character. "She had these riffs that she would use over and over again. And that's the footage we used, " he said. (One of them was her self-pitying remark, "I wish the Lord would take me now.") Chase said that when the scenes that included Livia were shot, a stand-in was used. Afterwards, the stand-in's image was digitally replaced by Marchand's.
As for the storyline had she lived, Chase has stated that Tony and Livia would have made up and overcome their adversity.

The Miller Lite commercials have been pulled.

HOOOOOOO!!!
"We seem to be the last breed in America that ad agencies think they can take a shot at," said Lou Rago, founder of the Italian American Human Relations Foundation of Chicago, who helped spearhead the effort to force the new Miller Lite ads off the air. The campaign, created by DraftFCB/Chicago, was to run through the summer, but MillerCoors said it will remove the ads within a week.
We've lost the ability to laugh at ourselves.
Being Italian, I wasn't offended in the least with the implication of the commercial... but rather with the execution of it.

Edie Falco has a new show on Showtime.
"Nurse Jackie".
Nice hair, Edie. I had this haircut in the 2nd grade (and only because my Mom made me have it).

I think I'd like to see her jugs. FOOLIO saw her nekkid in an off-Broadway play, and he said she has a killer body.You'll notice that she had a large rump in the first few seasons of The Sopranos, but she got in better shape in S 5 and 6.

Catching a bit of Ghostbusters on cable just now, it dawned on me that the actor who played the mayor was also Tony's lawyer throughout the whole Sopranos series. Never caught that before.

How come there was never any backstory about Tony's other sister, the one who completely rejected the "life"?
That would have been interesting.

I'm sure he got a pass on the murder initiation out of respect for his old man's contribution to the family.

That may be, but if that's the case, it's kind of weak. Why didn't Dicky Maltasanti's boy get a pass then? Why did they make him kill E-mail?

Dickey wasn't respected across the board like Old Man Baccala. He was a stand up guy, but he was just a soldier. As his own son said... "Let's face it. My old man, your hero -- the Great Dickey Moltisanti -- was nothing more than a junkie ####."
I preferred Tennessee Moltisanti.ETA: How does Baccalieri (sp?) get shortened to Bacala? Is this a common nickname, or was it explained at some point?

It's a reference to salted cod. Guess it just stuck.

They didn't make him kill "email"
in the pilot. Chris took it upon himself to do that, figuring it would score him some points and speed up the getting his button process. He even says to Sal when they are dumping the body, "That's the last time I show any initiative." However, his subsequent actions set that process back - hijacking Comley's trucks with Brendan, shooting the bakery guy in the foot, messing up at the job in the beginning of Season 2, etc. In fact, Tony didn't propose him to get his button until after he was shot by those two clowns.

Jeez, it's been quite awhile since I've watched the early Sopranos episodes; I don't remember half of these events. I actually just re-watched the final season for the first time maybe 3 or 4 months ago. It may be time for me to watch the whole series through again...They didn't make him kill "email"

Paulie said that, but those others are all great lines. I also liked when he, on several occasions, referred to Jackie, Jr. as the heir apparent, by pronouncing heir like you would hair, not dropping the silent 'h'.

"Little Carmine" Lupertazzi had a few good ones...
"The fundamental question is, will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was? And I will be, even more so? But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective."
At the prospective investor meeting for the movie "Cleaver" he said something along the lines of, "As some off you know, I have nine pictures under my sub-species" or something very similar.
"This altercation you're having...you're at the precipice of an enormous crossroad."
When I was searching for his quotes I found one website where the guy calls him, "The Yogi Berra of the Sopranos."

I just rewatched "Risky Business" and had forgotten that a young Joey Pants was Rebecca DeMornay's pimp and who stole all of Tom Cruise's house.
The scene where he is sitting at the back of the truck making Cruise buy back his parent's living room furnishings was comedy gold.

I am watching early Season 2 right now. While it did not come directly from Tony, Big ##### told Sal?(the cop) during their first on screen scene together that "Rumor has it that the Moltasanti kid will be getting his button soon" This is well before the shooting.
Ghost Rider
Footballguy
That was not the first scene ##### had with Skip, but I know what you mean. The point still stands, though, that Tony didn't come through and get him made until after he was shot. You gotta figure that Christopher dabbling in movies (which was three episodes after that convo ##### had with Skip) made Tony pause big time, so it is not like it was a sure thing. Tony is not about to get a button for someone he thinks might bail on him to go make movies.

I love the scenes featuring Thskip and Pu55y.
It's like the casting director intentionally set out to find THE TWO WORST ACTORS on the planet for a scene together.

Haha, so true. Neither of those guys could act, but their scenes were always good. It was like watching two fat guys trying to outsmart the other or something. The scene in the party store with the Elvis lookalike is still one of my all-time favorite Sopranos scenes.

Correct. As in "Pu55y Malanga"... the guy he thought was after him in his demented state.

Pastore is a bad actor, for sure. But it's like Chase cast Pastore in the perfect role. Because while Pastore is weak, he does well as BP.

By the way, I still watch Sopranos re-runs on A&E. And I was wondering: are they purposely driving me insane? It seems like they jump all over the place with episodes at times and they are not being shown chronologically.

As Chrissy told Matt and Sean when they were robbing the place that sold stockings, Sal started off as a cat burglar. Cat = pu55y. He always got nervous on jobs. "One time he left a load so big, the cops thought a bear was in the place."
