The Sopranos 3x09 Reaction

heavy symbolism..aj with the dragon (snakes) shirt..interesting connection with the .38s and who they are given to...

This episode has one of the deepest Jersey-isms of the series: When Chris gives Adriana the club he says that she will make it the hottest place since the Stone Pony. The Stone Pony is a club in Asbury Park, and is regarded as a crucial part of the NJ music scene. The Stone Pony is where Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played when they were starting out, and most big acts that tour through NJ make it a point to play there at least once. if you don't know this history, then it's just another beachfront bar like any of a hundred others along the Jersey Shore. But if you're "from Jersey" then Chris's line takes on a whole new meaning. 'Crazy Horse' is a bad name for the bar, but it's a reference, not just random words. Crazy Horse was a leader of the Lakota people in the 19th century who lead armed resistance against the expanding USA. He wasn't from NJ so there's no connection, they're just grabbing some famous figure and slapping his name on the building.

They are LM REACTIONS - Sofia and Milennucka, most powerful friendship in history.

Mah pizza never hurta nobody!

Love this so much! Thank you. Btw you keep dropping hints that you're moving to Spain - Good luck girls! Wish you success and happiness - with your brains and charm it will be a fun adventure!

Since you girls already watched The Godfather, that scene with Jackie Jr. and Matush is a funny reference to it. We see Jackie Jr. posing like Vito Corleone while listening to a request for help, just like the first scene in The Godfather. The difference is of course, Jackie Jr. is just a wannabe gangster while Vito is an actual one. He isn't even made and he's already playing a mob boss, which doesn't end too well for the person asking him for favors. We also have Meadow mentioning Davey Scatino, the guy from season 2 with gambling problems. She mentions that he's in a mental health facility now. Damn, I really thought Nevada of all places would help him fix his gambling issues...

I am so jealous of all of you that get to watch the rest of Season 3 for the first time, if only I had a time machjine. At least I get to relive it with all of you and two incredibly intuitive and smart tv watchers. All time episodes!

Just noting that Tony and Carmela HAVE disciplined AJ before and there has been consequences. The first season also had Meadow being grounded and not allowed to go on her trip when she snuck out, AJ was grounded when he drank alcohol at school, I even remembered this one exactly because they mentioned no nintendo again. AJ had a panic attack despite receiving positive reinforcement in a non mob violence related context. And this is new territory for Tony with Gloria. Melfi even notes he seems happy (and not simply doing better) which is something she never said to him before, even when he already had mistresses. We never saw how Tony starts one of his extra-marital relationships before.

Gloria says “poor you” to Tony at the zoo. Tony momentarily recoils at this and looks unnerved. This is because Livia often said this exact phrase in a mocking fashion to Tony, an interesting little detail.

Fun fact: In the scene where Anthony Jr and co vandalise the school swimming pool, one of the girls sitting poolside is a young Lady Gaga.

Hey, snakes were fucking themselves long before Adam and Eve showed up, T.

well, turns out i was about to skip a whole ass episode since i thought your last sopranos post was 3x07... well, i'll be back after i watch 3x08 😂

if you missed it, Lady Gaga broke into the school with AJ and Cotyar from the Expanse was the kid selling drugs. time flies!

Fun Fact: In the vandalism scene, the girl on the middle bleacher with the curly brown hair is a young Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga)

great! i just caught up with the reactions and felt like watching more after the last episode being so focused on carmela.

Hey Sopranos fans, it's time for our second annual channel survey! You'll get to rate every show the girls have watched fully on this channel, from Avatar and Vikings all the way up to the current shows. I've also added additional questions this time around to have a more fleshed out survey, which I originally intended to do last year. You'll be able to answer on how you watch their videos, the type of series you like to see, and there's also a comment box to make suggestions for the channel. Finally, you'll also be able to give a few details about yourself if you so wish, so we can see where everyone's from, how old everyone is etc. I'll be posting this link on all 4 shows this week, and then I'll post the results 2 weeks from now across all four shows' comments sections. This year you won't just have the raw results; I'm also going to post in the comments some common trends that the survey shows (eg. Those who rate Frieren highly may tend to rate X anime highly as well). So, without further adieu, enjoy! https://freeonlinesurveys.com/s/Eay0QX2k
