While I understand Chris’ reaction about Tony murdering Ralphie as a result of him allegedly burning the horse alive, but not the stripper, there is a nuance: Tony did beat the shit out of him and were it not for the crew being around (and that fight to also have taken place in a confined setting, like a house) I expect that to have ended the same. Tony was quite distraught by that as well. His disproportionate amount of love for animals is what makes this so bizarre though. Almost as if he’s more capable of experiencing empathy for animals rather than other human beings.

#Sunday rundown just to clear up a few things yes Tony can green light Ralphie for death as his boss like he did with pussy,Jimmy,Richie the problem is the reason for him "going into witness protection" killing Tracee nor the horse was a good enough reason also that's why Johnny Sack boss wouldn't let him kill Ralphie because of business Tony was wrong just like when he beat Ralphie up for killing the stripper also the reason they show Tracee picture two fold to remind you Ralphie did deserve to die and Tony equates woman like that to a horse on top of her being close to his daughter age if you remember when he was killing him he said she was a beautiful innocent creature and you killed her

#Sunday Rundown just one major thing with the mob although they have rules if you have enough power and influence you can get a way with breaking them example John Gotti was getting green light by his boss for people in his crew selling drugs but he killed his boss first allied with other New York family's and Sammy the bull so he got a kinda pass lucky Luciano the guy that invited the 5 family's and the organization of the commission and murder incorporated was arrested for drug dealing and told on people but he paid his way out of trouble

#SundayRundown That was a couple of powerhouse (Keys) performances from James Gandolfini and Joe Pantoliano. What a fucking episode. And according to Michael Imperioli (Chris), Gandolfini was so unlike Tony that he was a Green Day superfan. I believe Green Day's "One Eyed Bastard" is a nod to Tony Soprano based on the lyrics: I'm making an offer that you cannot deny You won't be laughing when I'm making you cry 'Cause, ayy-oh! I hear the pleas get louder You son of a bitch, you're gonna beg and cower [Pre-Chorus] Vendetta is a friend of mine Revenge is sweeter than wine I never asked to hear your god-damned feelings Get on your knees when you are kissing my ring [Chorus] Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom Bada bing, bada bing, bada boom

#SundayRundown Although Ralphie was a complete prick, I personally belive the fan theory that Paulie killed Pie-O-My in retaliation for Ralph's prank call on his mum. Also, its interesting that Tony immediately attacks Ralph right after he talks about Tony eating meat and sausage by the truck load. We know that Tony has that trigger with meat.

#SundayRundown Ralphie finally meets his end & they give him a pretty amazing send-off. Between the prank phone call, his emotional breakdowns & the boss battle they give him so much to play with. As per usual Joe Pantoliano knocks it out of the park. Ralphie was an absolute piece of garbage & an incredible character. Just so compelling to watch. Joe normally was a supporting actor. After this he got a series lead in 2003 with The Handler but unfortunately it got cancelled after just 14 episodes. This episode also is another great example of how hypocritical Tony is & shows despite being the boss his impulse control is terrible. Ralphie was the best earner & tied into The Esplanade (which NY is also in on). Something he got on Paulie about & reminds him of. Just a day or two later Tony kills him in a fit of rage because he THINKS Ralphie is responsible for the fire & the horse's death. Right before it happens Ralphie even calls out Tony on his moral outrage & how he's happy to collect envelopes for worse atrocities.

#SundayRundown Joe Pantoliano (Ralph) wasn’t told whether his character actually killed the horse or not, so he decided to act in the scene as if Ralphie was innocent.

Veya

he does have empathy for people but transfers it to animals because he can't allow it for other humans or his whole world comes crashing down.

Veya

ralphie actually said he had a kid named justin all the way back in season 3 episode 4. this show pointed out before that paulie and junior are unique in their subculture for not being married and having kids.

Veya

tony did kill ralphie over the the stripper. it's implied (and pretty much confirmed behind the scenes). it was just subdued and they played the long game with it rather than go with a traditional tv arc. the horse was largely a symbol for the stripper and you can see how it echoed the dynamic between tony, ralphie and tracee: both were used to make money, they both "belonged" to ralphie but tony ends up caring more about them, and they both eventually cause tony and ralphie to come to blows. the difference being tony was stopped by the other members from beating ralphie over tracee while no one was here to stop him. his lines here even echo it: "she was a beautiful innocent creature, what did she ever do to you". his subconscious was building towards this the entire time.

“I DID-n’t”

Ralphie had that coming for a looooong time.

Thank YOUUUUU 😄Rana please give Suraj A Slap During Sunday Rundown

Chris at 51:41 on the uncut version 🫢

Adam Teague

one thing I love about this episode is how they use lines from "sympathy for the devil" during ralphie/father intintola's meeting ("Please allow me to introduce myself," Pleased to meet you", "Were you there when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain.")

Hank Scorpio

Its pretty much all but confirmed that Tony didnt only just kill Ralphie because of the horse, but because of Tracee (the stripper from last season) as well. That final scene at the Bing where Tony stares at her picture for a few seconds basically confirms it. "She was a beautiful, innocent creature" and "You killed her" is supposed to be a double meaning, meaning Tracee and Pie 'O My. Also, if you remember Tracee's one episode. Sil describes her as a "thoroughbred" while she's dancing, which is usually used to describe horses (could be reading to much into that, but I don't think I am knowing this show and its layers) As for Chris. Tony could technically have Chris whacked for being a drug addict, and Tony would in fact do that if it were anyone else but Chris (which is kinda what Tony is implying at the end with Chris when he says "but you're the only one who knows...") Tony is implying that they both have secrets that they'd both like to remain hidden so he's basically telling Chris to STFU and stop talking about it.

I am also firmly in the “Paulie did it!”camp 🤣 for me, it’s how weird AF he is over the painting. It’s like he’s keeping it as a trophy.

Richard C

And how many bodies are on that farm? ;)

#Sundayrundown In Ralph's first episode of the show he is berated by Tony for starting fires. Tony warns ralph not to start any more fire. If Ralph had just listened to that warning he would still be alive

Jim

Wow, Chris looks just like Trevor McDonald.

PAM

I think Tony killed him over Tracee too. I think he killed him over all the bullshit he pulled in his time in the show. Pie-O-My was just the last straw.

PAM

I agree too. He killed him for all the bullshit. Pie-O-My was just the last straw. Interesting straw, though.
