The Sopranos 1x08 Full Reaction

The scene between Tony and Christopher and the awkwardness to be vulnerable about their mental health is so hilarious and so sad. This is the product of toxic masculinity in their culture and their line of work. The inability to tell each other and admit to themselves that they suffer with depression and need help.. eventually escaping the subject by making dumb jokes and making a mockery of it. Christopher talking about having nightmares of his victims and experiencing physical changes. Yeeah.. I think that's your subconscious experiencing guilt. Its telling you to STOP! The way I interpret Christopher's guilt is that subconsciously he knows everything he does is wrong but as long as something of value comes of it, he can justify it to himself and ease that guilt in his mind. It makes it easier to live with himself. Big Puss telling him to "just keep doing more of it, eventually it goes away".. is the very definition of a sociopath's logic. Basically just keep doing those morally screwed up actions until its normalized in your brain. But the fact Christopher gets nothing from all these murders and illegal criminal acts (no step up the ladder or no sense of respect), it only makes the human guilt ring louder and harder to rationalize and ignore.

Christopher reminds me a bit of Ziggy from S2 of The Wire. Both are often made to feel disrespected and inferior to those around them. I really love the conversation this episode between Chris and Paulie. Chris has this Hollywood vision of what it means to be a gangster whereas Paulie is refreshingly awakened to his position in life. Believe it or not this show only gets better

I just needed to announce that I synced from the beginning without having to do any fine-tuning. Great success!

the relationship between tony and christopher is just deep, i'm sure it will be one of your favorites

You should watch goodfellas as soon as possible

I'm waiting for Chris to build an ark and start collecting two of every animal 😂

“You ever feel nothing good was ever gonna happen to you?” “Yeah, and, nothing did, so what?” God I quote this show..I hope you girls don’t start quoting this show ever because it can turn into a bad habit sometimes hehe

This is my favourite episode of the first season, and the episode that made me start to love Christopher.
