Deadwood! Easily one of the best HBO shows to ever air, it has some of the best written dialogue in TV. And like the Sopranos, it can be incredibly funny. Six Feet Under is another good HBO replacement show. No spoilers, but I think it might have the best final episode of any TV show I've seen.

I think Tony, by this point of the story, personally hates Paulie. He allowed him to stick around since he was a sort of legacy left behind by his father, but his tolerance for him has been gradually declining. So, he looks for a reason to take him out. "Has he ever been truly tested?". That's what was going on during the boat trip, I think. He wasn't simply trying to scare him. He was trying to check if, under enough pressure, he would spill the beans. Which he ultimately didn't. And Tony looks kind of... underwhelmed? As if he was really hoping to get a solid reason to kill him. In the final conversation with Carmela, in my opinion Tony was defending Paulie to convince himself, rather than his wife. "I can't stand him and I want him dead, but at the end of the day he does make me some good money". It's very funny to me how Paulie's personality is so awful that his own boss has to actively find reasons not to take him out, lmao.

I swear Chris is like the living embodiment of that meme of Leo pointing at the TV. Also Pat not understanding the joke about the fish market is WILD. Dude must have been completely lost when Tony was breaking Juniors balls over eatin pussy. You guys missed the best ADR joke because you were talking. I was so excited to see yall react to that moment. Also, props to this show for coming up with a killer line like “Remember When is the lowest form of conversation”. That shit hits HARD & deep for so many. I remember(oh god I’m doing it) after this episode aired of being so cognizant of all the people in my group of friends who talked almost nothing but “remember when”. But now I’m like 20 years older and reminiscing about the old times with friends can be great. So long as you make knew memories too.

No, Dick Cheney did NOT have morals

I think it is also because, at this point, Tony hates his dad too. The whole episode's theme seems to be disappointing father figures. Tony has realized that his dad was a violent, neglectful guy who didn't really care about his son and ultimately turned him into a murderer, something Paulie believes to be a sign of love. But Tony can't do anything about it because Johnny Boy is dead, so he turns his rage towards Paulie instead. Paulie is a father figure to Tony, and Paulie also had some sort of mentor-protégé relationship with Johnny. Just like Tony has with Christopher, which is going so well.

If you have never seen For All Mankind, I suggest you check it out. If you like the Apollo 13 movie from back in the day, it is that on steroids; it is an action movie in space every week. It is like a combination of The Martian and Apollo 13, with a little Project Hail Mary humor thrown in. One of my favorite sci-fi shows ever, it is a follow-up to Battlestar Galactica in tone and continuity, and the same guy who worked on Battlestar worked on this.

Mad Men for next prestige series! The discussion of back then vs now will be great.

Small correction Tony not mad that Paulie for relaxing he don't like him talking so much it's hard to trust him not to snitch and it was Paulie that asked pussy if when it's his turn will he stand up aka not snitch which is what makes you a stand up guy which is why he worked out so he would be strong enough to be a stands up person and the coffee maker was just to get on Tony good side he knew Tony was thinking about killing him

2026-10-06 13:00 it was seed planted all the way back in season 5 episode where tony meets fran. he refused to hold his dad accountable back then, but similar to what this show did with tony vs ralphie, the negative feelings don't just go away. they bubble up here since the situation they're in brings back old memories and you're right, he's basically lashing out at paulie by proxy because it's his only option at this point. he also ultimately spares him, whether that's because he thinks it's more trouble than it's worth or if it's because of some lingering feelings towards his dad/paulie is unclear.

2026-10-06 13:00 fun fact: ken leung got his role on his lost because of this episode. damon lindelof and carlton cuse saw him in this episode and created the miles character specifically for him. also his role here as carter was great and served as a parallel to tony. both exhibits positive and negative feelings towards their father figures (note how carter tries a bit to defend his father from his grandfather near the end of the episode), and with tony, well we know by now that tony has both positive and negative feelings towards his own dad. chris brings up the junior trying to kill tony thing again and how it's weird he forgive him, but it's been stated in the comments a number of times, season 1 outlined why tony forgives junior. he was more of a parental figure to tony than johnny and livia ever was. there was literally a scene in season 1 where melfi tries to get tony to think of memories of his childhood and he remembers him playing catch with junior. there's also just a lot of context clues regarding how his relationship with junior was different.

True Detective season 1 is the best show I've ever seen I can't stop recommending it. For a new series I'm torn between Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire.

Next up should really be Deadwood: it’s such a unique show with amazing writing and characters. And, it would be unique in the sense that not a lot of reactors have done this show already (if any).

Dante Sparda

You guys should add A Bronx Tale in your movie queue it’s an underrated mob movie

#SundayRundown First things first - choose Deadwood, for the love of God! Deadwood dekho, por favor! Couple of things that stood out to me - Paulie mentions meeting those "16 year old hillbilly whores by the taxi stand", implying he and Tony banged them. Back in season 1, Tony and friends were pretty much ready to whack the soccer coach for sleeping with their daughters' 11th grade teammate (Ally), who'd be the same age. Sexual hypocrisy is nothing new to the fam, but interesting to see that there are no limits - they clearly don't see themselves as statutory rapists or pedos (Paulie especially, who was likely in his 30s or 40s at the time). Also, the final scene with Junior - I wonder whether it is a *gasp* Godfather reference. Perhaps y'all should do a reaction to a Godfather reference compilation once the show is done lol.

Love the Paulie impressions!!
