Vitos wife is indeed a fox. She is the sister of lorraine Bracco (melfi) IRL. Both have aged like fine wine.

Arianna was covering her mouth for half of that episode lmao

Michael

Now the pack knows Tony is still the Alpha.

Joe Lazarus

I don't think Tony was picking a fight with his bodyguard to "make himself feel better", he did that to re-establish his dominance and project strength to his crew.

Diegesis

yeah exactly to make himself feel better lol

Diegesis

*we all howl like wolves in unison*

Joe Lazarus

Again, he didn’t beat Perry out of the blue to cheer himself up. He did it in front of the crew, after they watched him almost die, and he picked the biggest guy on purpose. That’s not a mood. That’s sending a message. Did it make him feel good, sure but that wasn't the main purpose...the purpose was to instill fear in them. That was the whole point of that scene lol It's the same principle as a new prisoner dropping the toughest guy in the prison yard so nobody else would pick on him.

SavyJones

Of course Tony mistook Melfi’s advice to mean “use violence to reestablish dominance” Then he was looking at all of his friends to choose the best victim

MC

which all loops back into making himself feel better lmao dunno how you're not on board with that, he needs people to fear and respect him because otherwise he doesn't like how it makes him feel.

Joe Lazarus

Ultimately, he beat Perry to protect his life and his throne. The fact that it made him smile in the mirror afterward was just the emotional reward. It was a strategic move, not just an emotional one. But I can see why this is lost on certain ppl lol

Adam Barker

it's not lost on anybody. everyone acknowledges it. not sure why you think this is a novel observation. its so obvious nobody else feels the need to harp on it. things can be done for multiple reasons

Joe Lazarus

Nobody said it was a novel theory. The point was this lady reducing a calculated power move to ‘he did it to feel better’ was wrong. ‘Things can be done for multiple reasons’ is what I already said lol You just showed up late and announced the compromise like you invented it.

Athasin

For a second I thought that was April Kepner but then I realized it was Quinn from Scandal.

Athasin

I think it's interesting that out of the men Tony was sizing up to beat he was sizing up Paulie, Bobby, the guy who takes care of this mother, and the bodyguard.

TinCan Cosmanaut

Your right Joe. Tony's would have punched the kid even if it made him feel bad (it didn't). The entire point was looking strong and in control while being weak. 10 second earlier Melfi: People only see what you allow them to see Tony: Thanks for the advice

Joe Lazarus

Exactly. It was a strategic move not an emotional one. But I'm not surprised that cerain women can't see the difference.
