This is pretty much like peeking into an alternative universe.

The series started with Melfi, started with the idea that Tony could be treated somehow. The door shutting shows that, ultimately, he is a lost cause. Everything which happens after that is tying up loose ends, the inevitable consequences of fucking up yet again (killing the Ukrainian guy and his daughter or whatever instead of the Shah of Iran).

Just watching the beginning of "I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano".

It starts with the meeting, where Jimmy (in Tony's words) 'discusses shit they've already covered'. After Jimmy is out of sight and ear, Junior gives Tony the okay to whack Jimmy. It is a genuinely warm moment, possibly the last one they ever really have. Tony even has a vaguely friendly handshake with Mikey Palmice.

Shit hits the fan between the two warring factions soon after, but it's telling how the one thing that unites them is that rats need to be done away with.

I wonder was Dr Krakower, a Jew with strong moral objections to organized crime, would have thought of Hesh. A fellow Jew of a similar age who is knees deep in the Mafia stuff and connections.

Later on in the same episode he says that he would be surprised if AJ was ever in bed with a woman.

Later in the season, his mind immediately jumps to 'bit gay, isn't it?' when he hears that AJ is becoming interested in event planning.

The next season, he randomly brings up event planning to AJ again at Allegra Sack's wedding, which IMO indicates that he still retains those fears, especially in the context of a (heterosexual) wedding.

The most obvious answer would possibly be the scene in "The Ride" which is a flashback to Chrissy telling Tony about Ade working for the Feds. That was literally intended to be aired in the episode "Long Term Parking" itself before Chase was talked into deleting it.

Aside from that, I would say the scenes in "The Knight in White Satin Armor" with Jackie Jr (he almost drowned in three inches of water). He just feels like a quintessentially season three character that it's kind of off-putting to see him in any other season.

Timeline got fucked up.

This is an offer that popped up locally to me last week and the T/Cs said that it would expire on Sunday/yesterday. However, the offer has popped up again today. I can't seem to find the T/Cs at the moment to see how long it will last, but this is one of the best offers on Just Eat I've seen for some time. It doesn't apply to all restaurants, but it certainly applies to a lot of those I order from regularly.

As Carmela's speech at her wake lays out in great detail, Livia's fundamental trait was making others feel miserable. She was also good at reading people, and there's no way that she would have thought that Artie was capable of taking out Tony. At best, it was a longshot (excuse the pun). She was certain (quite rightly), however, that Artie's happy and upbeat attitude (which he showed to her during his visit) would be greatly diminished once he found out about the cause of the fire.

In "College", they are talking about how if everything Jesus is recorded as having said is added up, it would be surprisingly short. Then Carmela makes a similar point about The Beatles.

It's kind of a subtle reference, but I think the reason why Fawtha Phil looks uncomfortable when she says that is because he is thinking of how John Lennon compared The Beatles to Jesus Christ and perhaps doesn't appreciate them as a result of that. Or possibly because he thinks that she is comparing pop culture to the Lord, which is also something he probably wouldn't appreciate.

No, I don't mean Adriana, Charmaine et al.

I mean in the temp sense of the word 'hot'.

We in the UK are about to experience a week of pretty consistent 100 degree (we use Celsius these days, generally, but whatever) temps. We can even pick up the BBC on that thing.

Throughout the week everyone is probably going to feel like Finn in "Unidentified Black Males", minus the whole discovery of Vito's medication issues.

Hopefully we will have really good chilli.

First of all, before Patsy even arrives, there's a great Tony line about how he stays out late, comes home drunk, fucks anyone he wants since he and Carmela separated. Sil says "Yeah, so what's the difference?", Tony says "I dunno. It's a mindset."

Then after Patsy has told Tony about Massarone, there is an ominous moment where Tony complains about how people can't just be genuinely nice and friendly anymore. The camera cuts immediately to Patsy sternly looking at Tony. He is probably the most obvious example of a character who detests Tony but has to pretend to like him and be friendly towards him.

Oh, and Tony's shirt appears to be covered in Tabasco bottles.

Which characters are confirmed to have been multilingual? We know that Tony speaks Swahili because he says to Meadow "Maybe I should say it in Swahili!" when she is questioning him about the Hasidic homeboy.
