The Sopranos 3x10 Reaction

It absolutely kills me when Janice’s prayer group friend just collapses as soon as Tony and Carmela walk in. It makes it seem like he’s doing it to get out of conversations he doesn’t want to take part in lol

“WHERE DOES HE FIND THE BALLS” lolllll 🤌🏼

I think the title ties in nicely with Tony's humanity popping up in this episode. His fleeting moments of humanity was always what's saving him from becoming a complete monster and we're getting small moments where it's trying to fight it's way up to the surface to save him from completely succumbing to his worst self, which yes, can cause even more harm than he already does. Imagine a Ralphie or Ritchie as a boss. Small differences in the grand scheme, but maybe one extra person not dead for little reason, so it's not nothing. Otherwise yeah, not much to this episode except some more character shading. Kind of a Sopranos version of a light christmas special. Even with the goofy sitcom transition editing to underscore it.

love the fact that you will be watching pine barrens around christmas time :D

Lola & Milena have a treat coming up next episode... Pine Barrens!

Janice strumming away on her guitar, following up with "my wrist may need an operation".. Brilliant 😂

Good that they watched Pine Barrens directly afterwards so that they can watch it fresh without seeing all the comments below that are hyping it up... but it's kinda hilarious that for all the effort that people (including myself) put in in the comments telling people not to leave spoilers, they get a mini spoiler in each episode just from their streaming platform showing screenshots and having a blurb about the episode. So they're already going into Pine Barrens expecting it to go in a certain direction from the start.

I loved that cocksucker like a brother... and he fucked me in the ass!

The relationship between Tony and Pussy is always interesting to me because it's another instance of Tony breaking the mold of how a Mafioso should act and feel. Every other mobster in this episode remarks that they would have loved to be the one that killed Pussy, while Tony is seemingly the only one who grieved and is still haunted by the fact that he had to kill his best friend. He even got a panic attack and has to run to his shrink because of it. He still sees him as a former friend while the others reduce him to a rat. This distinction between Tony's empathy and the rest of the mob is also shown in the previous episodes with regards to Tracee, whereas the other mobsters dismissed her as just a whore and thinking the only thing Ralph did wrong was disrespecting the Bing. Definitely one of the most fascinating aspects of Tony's character to me. In the flashbacks we also see that Junior wanted to be boss before Jackie. Pretty intriguing to see Tony throwing his support for his best friend taking power over his own blood. This episode also has one of my all-time favorite Sopranos shots, which is Tony leaning on the guardrails facing us while Pussy and Jackie turn their backs to us (4:15 in the video). A great visual shorthand for him losing two of his best friends while he's the only one who remains.

if you’re curious there’s actually a deleted scene of when pussy initially got entangled with the fbi. i think it’s for the best that they removed since it’s a bit redudant but it’s an interesting scene regardless https://youtu.be/UKSTJbCXyMw?feature=shared

As an introvert myself, I totally understand Bobby's predicament. I think I'd rather go into witness protection than dress as Santa.

Tony told Dr. Melfi that its been years because he didn't want to give accurate details, even to his doctor.

Next few eps are going to be the best Xmas gift I get this year

What follows is possibly my favorite 3-episode sequence of the entire show

I think one of the most surprising things about the first time I watched Sopranos was how it had some of the best dream sequences I've ever seen, honestly what a show

Your surprise that the scene with the Russian was cut is hilarious, calm down girls, just like some people warned after episode 6... the violent nightmare of this season is over, now it's more balanced

1. I feel like you guys love interpreting dreams. Maybe another channel where you can interpret all our dreams. 2. My fave bit in the episode is they can't find Santa's beard cause Bobby is wearing it on his head :). 3. The next episode is prollllllly the most famous sopranos episode, so enjoy!!

You two will love pine barrens

Next episode is a good one.

that shot with Pussy and Jackie looking away and Tony facing forward is one of my faves in the show. so simple, but so effective

Every episode of this show I say 'I hate men' and I'm not even exaggerating. It's extra sad to see young boys be pieces of shit like damn did you even try. Fuck you Jackie Jr.

Probably the greatest Christmas episode of all time.

The lighting will be fine. Let Milena's girlfriend go wild 😆

This is great. I like the pillows. Very festive.

Well hello. Wasn't expecting a Sopranos upload this evening
