The Sopranos 3x06 Full Reaction

I like episode 6, "University". Obviously focused around the three young women; Meadow, Caitlin(roomate), and Tracee(stripper) Med is very privileged. Has every opportunity. Street smart, book smart, the world is at her feet based on her upbringing. Tracee is at the bottom of that scale. Shit upbringing, school dropout and probably multiple abusive relationships which led her down the road to being a stripper. Then there's Caitlin. A fish out of water from a small town in OK, entering the mean streets of the Big Apple where you have to have a thick skin to survive. She's also privileged but very sheltered. It's culture shock compounded with latent mental health issues. For Caitlin, she doesn't realize that people like Tracee exist / what their life is like day to day. The worst thing that happens to Caitlin is a homeless woman with a daily news up her butt and a smelly subway train. A day in the life of Tracee would give Caitlin a full psychotic break. Loved how this episode parallels the 3 of them beautifully. It really is a standout episode.
"$50 and you have to give me a blowjob later." That was an interesting parallel you observed with Meadow and Tracee. I hadn't thought about that. I have never liked Noah. Starting with his first appearance, and with his on-going attitude, he has such a punchable face (though, I am not advocating violence). Hard to enjoy the scenery in the Bada Bing! with the exploitation and abuse also going on. Right before Ralphie beat the shit out of Tracee, killing her, you said "I want to turn this episode off." Then later, you said "this was a disgusting episode" and "I literally felt sick to my stomach." Ralphie has revealed himself to be as bad as Richie was. Ralphie is such a loser. Sub-human. Tony felt empathy and was moved by Tracee being killed, but the show would not be realistic if that lasted -- Tony is financially successful in a horrible business. For the most part, the main characters are going to be unsavory and there will be violence. It's the premise and setting of the series. The audience pays a price in watching this stellar groundbreaking series. The Sopranos = IMDb 9.2, RT 92% (Audience 96%), Metacritic 94% (user 9.3)
I mean, it is very hard to watch, but I can appreciate how realistically brutal they made it look. When I saw it for the first time I was like: "cmon tony we gotta have this ralphie cocksucka whacked".
Lol please stop reacting to cartoons and just do like 4 episodes Sopranos every week. You guys are the best
Well what would you call it? It's like when someone tells you to stop playing with dolls, you say "they're not dolls they're action figures!" Whaddya gonna do
