ITS ABOUT TIME YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE………….

By the way I think this is rated as the sopranos worst episode in the show

PIG

People hate this episode but I tend to love it :) I grew up in the South, a place where race is about everything, and I was happy to be away from it. Then, way ahead of its time, I watched this episode and it was poking at the same obsession with race but on a different side. One we didn't know was coming and something that took over politics for the next twenty odd years. Somehow the writers caught this and I'm glad it put a lense on it because it's still here today. As always, looking forward to The Normies perspective on this.

The main thing Columbus did was show the world the earth is not flat.......does not help that there are still people to this day that believe the earth is flat

Michael Colorado

Christopher Columbus was not actually Italian new DNA research that was done says he was part Spanish and Jewish

PIG

Unedited seems to be running. Edited version is not loading though.

What I actually liked most about this episode was the emerging conflict between Ralph and Johnny Sack due to the insult to his wife, and between Tony and Carmine, created by Paulie giving Johnny the inside track. Nick Chinlunds character asserting himself as Native American reminds me a lot of Johnny Depp claiming the same while filming that Lone Ranger movie (such a shame it bombed).

The Normies

It seems to be working on my end. Did you try taking the video to a new tab?

PIG

You're right! It was a firewall. Thank you :)

Armani 🐢

Which is madness to me... Sometimes you need a good funny filler episode.

Richard C

This is not the worst episode. That one is still coming up. It's pure cringe. But this is an important episode because of the (what shall we call it, the 'B' plot?) of Janice and Bobby. The death of Bobby's wife is key for that character, and how it happens in this episode is quality stuff.

Veya

The problem people have with it is more how heavy handed it is, not really the subject matter, which I agree is interesting. This episode was written in response to the criticism the show was getting from italian-american groups and it shows. The best parts of the episodes were the non columbus stuff (well the tony/silvio scene at the end was still great) which further deconstructs existing aspects of the show, like showing someone who is in the life and doesn't actually cheat on their wife. Or showing how Janice's therapist really doesn't have a handle on her true personality unlike the other therapists we see in the show.

Veya

Tony's first kill wasn't meant to be badass. The entire quandary between the show and hbo was about hbo not wanting to show him killing someone so personally and brutally without any moral high ground. It's as subversive as you could possibly get. That's a large part of why it was so revolutionary.

Telly Phillips

Monday's the new friday I guess 🙄 😐

Telly Phillips

Italian national, he sailed for spain though

Telly Phillips

This is the best episode of the season, so many clipable moments

Telly Phillips

Or It's about time, just people 🫥

Hank Scorpio

He was ethnically Spanish/Jewish. But he was born and raised in Northern Italy (Genoa)

Dante Sparda

Hope they see this on #Sundayrundown

Alexis Cardarella

Interesting fact: The lady speaking at the Italian pride event Carmela attended is not Italian at all. The actress's name is Roma Maffia, but her surname is from her Italian stepdad and she is actually part West Indian. She gets cast as a Latino and Italian a lot. Also a severely underrated actress. I fucking loved her in NipTuck. Also, as a communist and sicilian american, fuck Cristopher Columbus AND Rudy Giuliani. lol

Michael Colorado

No he wasn't he was from Spain Born in Valencia the Italian Government lied about his heritage

Dante Sparda

It’s sad that Tony and the gang make fun of Bobby because he’s loyal to his wife, also Paulie is a snitch for telling John about what Ralph said

Dante Sparda

Yeah hopefully they also drop an episode on Monday

GoldArthur

I think I'm gonna skip this episode. I can already tell you guys are gonna have some political commentary for it, and I'm don't have an issue with anyone's opinions on topics, but I've just had a little too much of politics for a while.

SunnydaleClassof99

#SundayRundown I love the almost in unison disgust anytime Janice does anything Janice-y.

SunnydaleClassof99

#SundayRundown I know this is regarded as the "worst" episode of this series. There's just too much good stuff in here to not enjoy it: Artie scampering to the car & hiding in the back seat, the Chief's racial awakening spiel, Tony's final blowup after listening to Sil talk about Columbus the whole episode & so on. There's a couple of choice story beats too most of which revolve around Ralphie. Everything of him & Janice is gold since there's such a nightmare couple. Ro trying to talk to him & tossing him out is satisfying as well.

SergeTroy

I thought that was her from Nip / Tuck! The nurse right?

Hank Scorpio

He was gay, Gary Cooper? Most Sopranos fans have this aa there least favorite episode of the show. Even though it does have a few funny moments thrown in there lol.

bietz

Pat: "He's spittin'" LOL. Literally everything they have and are is because they are Italian.

Veya

No, it's not. Jackie Jr. was also Italian and he doesn't have what Silvio has. So Tony is correct that the differing attributes is what makes the difference.

SergeTroy

Highest paid anesthesiologist in history, based on all the **** she had on those two. Just from episode 1!

Token

Good for you ig?

Kwame James

Yeah Gandhi was pretty racist about black people in his earlier years

Kwame James

The Janice thing is hilarious because just like Tony she is literally lying to her therapist at least Tony is mostly because of the law and if Janice wasn't Tony sister pushing Ralphie could've gotten her killed

Daniel Antunez

Holy shit I never realized AJ is reading Howard Zinn at 14:06. AJ the wokest character in the show
