Season 5 is here and we are already kicking things off to a damn great start. New characters, new environments, new conflicts..I'm curious to see where this story takes itself. Tony proceeds to amaze me, but honestly all the characters tend to do that!

What I’ve learned is this. Color grading=Tony Soprano’s mental state. It also I think represents the entire world around him. 5 seasons in we are more steeped in corruption than we have been yet.

AJ is definitely a chronic liar, but look at the examples he’s had. He has a sociopathic mafia boss as a father whom also lies and manipulates, and makes money from it. A mother who knowingly bore and raised children inside of the American mafia. I love the portrayal of AJ because of how realistic it truly is. Think about this in terms of archetypes. Carmella Soprano is the archetype of the “mob wife,” Tony the boss, etc. while the show is fictional you just know these somewhat exact situations have repeated again and again in cycles in the real world American La Cosa Nostra. I’m so glad you’re loving the show James! One of the best ever. I’d put it up there with the storytelling of Dostoyevsky who wrote Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov.

There's a nice little continuity detail in ep 4. Tony goes to lend Tony B his drill but can't find it, he immediately starts blaming Carmela and says she loses everything now that he's moved out. it was actually Tony who misplaced it; in the previous season, he gave the drill to Carmela's cousin, Brian, as a cover.

season 5 ep 3 is one of my favorite episodes of the show. so many classic moments, christopher not knowing when to shut up in the meeting, paulie slamming the guy with a shovel, and the ending scene with tony and junior on the couch. dominic chianese who plays junior in the show has commented since it's one of his favorite moments with gandolfini and makes him emotional still thinking about it

At last, you've met the human meme-generator that is Phil Leotardo.

As someone who has a parent with Alzheimer’s, the Junior storyline this season hits especially hard for me. On the lighter side, the “varsity athlete” line is a huge meme in the fandom, I was delighted when I realized it was in this episode.

Tony as you know definitely inspired antiheroes for sure. A nice parallel from breaking bad is the dynamic with Tony and Chris compared to Walt and Jesse. Especially in the last 2 seasons

Alexander Sawasdee

How many years did he do in the can again? Please remind me.

Kana Kawase

Alas, we may never know. It's one of the show's great mysteries.

AJ is a perfectly normal teenager. Everyone lies to their parents.

Owen Young

Not everyone. You can make a monolithic statement out of all people that’s absurd. But that’s not the point. I’m thinking about some later season 6 things that everyone certainly DOES NOT do 😂

Yeah, my grandmother had dementia in her final years, and junior's portrayal is spot on. She would repeat the same stories, forget where she was, confuse me with my uncle, and occasionally think she was a little girl again. She also set her mattress on fire after forgetting she lit a cigarette in bed.

Speaking of dementia, Feech was originally supposed to have a larger part in the show but the actor had early onset of it and was having trouble remembering his lines, so he was written off sooner than originally intended. I also find it interesting how you mention lying as being the biggest issue with AJ's little excursion, but Tony barely mentions it--because Tony lies all the time for his job and his affairs. It's basically second nature to him, so of course he doesn't see it in his own son. Meanwhile, you and me, a.k.a. normal people, are basically screaming at the TV that he needs to be punished for lying to his own mother.

I thought that at first, but wasn't that a hacksaw he gave him instead? I was just watching along with pip, so it was hard to see

Carlos H

Its an old manual drill. Tony mentions not being able to find the Dewalt as he's handing it to Tony B.

Finally somebody recognizes Larry! 🤩
