Boyz II Men don't miss Tony's fat fucking head, the feds still arrest Junior, then who steps up to take up power? Mikey Palmice? Silvio? Does New York step in? I have a strong feeling who would do it, but what say you? Who has the bawls to take control of that pygmy thing in Jersey?
Let's pretend that Carmela grew a conscious. She leaves Tony and goes to the FBI. How much could she had given them? I know that while Tony did his best to keep Carmela in the dark, I know there's definitely somethings she could had given them.
So, whatta you hear, whatta you know? What do you think Carmela could give the FBI?
On my yearly rewatch, and I'm always amazed how good the hair and make-up dept. were. Especially the hairdressers. You look at Carmela when she is all dolled up. Her hair is bigger than Poison's in 80's. Then, when she's in the hospital after Chris was shot, you can immediately tell she had no time to get her hair done. Look at Paulie when he wakes up in the middle of the night scare about what Chris told him. His hair paints a picture of man that cannot rest. Anyways, I'm rambling on. It's the wine. It makes me emotional. Salud to the hair and make-up dept.
First, Happy Fadah's day, you filthy animals.
So, who was the best fadah in the show? I think there's a pretty clear answer.
Edit: The best fadah is actually two guys: Tom, Barb's husband, and Jeremy Piocosta's father, George Piocosta.
Tom never wanted anything from the Sopranos. He only showed up on special occasions. Made sure his kids stayed away from Tony and his bullshit. Brilliant move. George Piocosta? He sees Tony with an axe, and he made sure his son paid AJ for his shirt. And, later on, he makes sure to stay in Tony's good grace and goes to see AJ play football. Brilliant man.
Anyways, what are you gonna do? Pick up the pieces and move on.
That is one of the funniest, and most underrated, lines in the series. I laugh every time I hear it. Tony thinks he is going to meet this legendary mafia boss, and then, it's just an old man that can only remember streets in the US.
Commendatori is one of the most funniest episodes. Maybe second after Pine Barrens.
Anyways, I'll shove that Elvis shit up your ass!
I finally got the reason why Tony forgave Junior. I've always wondered why he was able to forgive Tony but never made peace with Mah.
Junior actually showed legit remorse about putting the hit on Tony. Remember, Junior kept asking Tony to forgive Mah. Tony could tell Junior was remorseful. After Junior fell in the tub, Junior just wanted Tony to make peace with his Mah. Mah on the other hand never, not once, showed any remorse. She avoided taking fault. Junior admitted to the hit, and all he asked was for Tony to forgive his Mah, not him. When Junior asked Tony after getting hurt that was the moment Tony forgave Junior.
anyways, you all fool around with ecstasy, and you yell at me?
He had everything to lose by denying Tony wa, in fact, the boss. My feelings, there could only be one of two reasons: pride or love. Junior could had been too prideful to admit that Tony played him. I also think that it could be Junior looking back and regretting putting out a hit on his nephew. The closest thing he has to a son.
But what say you besides gabagool, ova here?
Now obviously, murder is wrong, duh. But in the world of The Sopranos Uncle Jun was within every right to want Tony dead. First, Tony burns down Artie's restaurant ruining June's hit on Lil' Pussy. Then, Junior is named boss. Tony yells at Junior at a dinner. Tony eggs Junior on about eating pussy. Finally, Tony is finally caught colliding with the other captains at the nursing home. Junior, being named the boss, had the right to call that hit. A captain had made a power move against him. Nephew or not, how much was Junior was supposed to take. How much betrayal can he take?
When Tony gets rid of Richie's body to put him on a hill, overlooking a little river, with pine cones all around he has a confrontation with Mah. He falls down in front of her, and she laughs. Maybe the only time she laughed in the entire series. I've never put two and two together, but when Melfi asks Tony for happy childhood memories, all he can think is his mah laughing at his fathah when he fell down. History repeats itself!
Anyways, what can you do? pick up the peaces and move on.
