The Sopranos 6x04 Reaction

I looked at the comments, and since no one mentions it Dr.Melfi is the one who left the note for Tony. Its a perfect quote that sums his character up "Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while, a great wind is carrying me across the sky". Tony hates looking at it because it is him; And no i do not think she came to the hospital herself, that's to say she gave it to Carmela at the therapy session offscreen There is a great video that explains this quote in more depth that I'm not gonna go into detail here, but some points from it. Are the following, the "the great wind" in the quote is his father, and his mother, . Two extremely vital figures that shape Tony and eventually lead him to this life. Another example is when Tonys father is literally driving the car in his dream. LITERALLY steering him on a road. God this show is gold, and some really don't find the diamonds until they look even deeper. Thats the thing though this is just my take on it. One of the best things about Sopranos is that a lot is open to interpretation.

Nucci is team Jess!

Honestly great casting on the evangelical guy. Really nailed the smug, smarmy face and creepy demeanor that these guys usually have.

I don't think David Chase dislikes religion per se (the whole series is filled with religious imagery and allegories after all) as much as he distrusts the church or any other organized racket for that matter (frankly, he's got a problem with authority).

Lola made a great comment about the culmination of Tony's character for this final season in one of the previous episodes. While every season explores all aspects of his character, there's a neat structure where each season emphasizes a particular role more than others (which is noticeable if you go back and revisit the final two episodes of each season): Season 1: Tony as a son Season 2: Tony as a brother Season 3: Tony as a father Season 4: Tony as a husband Season 5: Tony as a mob boss Again, while each season ultimately explores all of this, the weightier episodes of each season, plus one or both of the final two episodes always centered the main thrust of the story on the corresponding emphasis. This final season is now openly discussing the state of his soul with more emphasis than ever, when it previously only had the occasional or smaller scenes commenting on it.

Bobby's just a big sweetie pie. If your music career needs a shot in the arm, Bobby will give you a shot in the ass. He's a saint!

The reason Paulie ended up demanding 4k from that dude was because he said earlier in the episode that the cost of his mom's retirement home is 4k per month. So when he was crying he was realizing he doesn't want to actually make his mom be on her own like he told her. That he obviously loves her too much for that. So he wanted that money to keep paying for her, signifying that he isn't actually going to let her go.

In a not-so fun fact on life imitating art (multiple times) A paramedic who arrived first on the scene when James Gandolfini suffered his fatal heart attack stole his $3,000 Submariner watch. He was taken to a local hospital, but died after attempts to revive him. Thankfully, he was caught and charged with the crime. The paramedic’s name: Claudio BEVILACQUA…😳

lol The beginning with the remote. I can only imagine the hours of peak LM comedy that have ended up on the cutting room floor. Y'all are too much

I just found the exact Terri Schiavo shirt online and I’m tempted to order it

"I don't feel that way." Incredible line reading by Imperioli. I think David Chase is incredibly skeptical about organized religion, but you can't watch this show and tell me he isn't spiritual. The series is so clearly concerned with heaven and hell, repentance, and life after death. The Ojibwe saying in this episode -- which no one will take credit for posting in Tony's room, suggesting a kind of supernatural or divine aspect to its showing up -- is probably getting close to Chase's feelings on the matter. "A great wind carries me across the sky" isn't purposeful, or God's grand design, but there is a force out there that animates the world and the people in it... Which recalls the metaphysical musings about tornados from Tony's floormate, who you would think (as a scientist) would be inclined towards atheism. And yet, confronted with his own mortality after his cancer diagnosis, he gets caught up in weighing heaven and hell and salvation along with Tony. No atheists in foxholes, indeed.

I am sure people have already let the ladies know. But just for them, Season 6 is really two separate seasons. They called it part 1 and part 2 so they wouldn't have to give the actors raises (and it made them all very upset). Season 6A ends with the episode Kaisha. and Season 6B (really season 7) starts with Soprano Home Movies.

That bastard first he makes a move on Pam then he tries to screw with Tony

I love that you girls loved these last couple of three episodes. Believe it or not, many people think this part of the show was one of the low points in the narrative. I guess they wanted to get back to the good ol' mob drama and whackings. Edit: Btw, the larynx is the organ in your neck that allows you to talk, swallow and breathe. The old man now probably has a hole in his throat.

I'm imagining Adam and Eve running from a T-Rex and I can't stop laughing. 🤣

I don't think the paramedic took any money. I mean the mob comes at you and demanding to pay, what was he supposed to do? He had to pay even if he didn't steal anything because he was scared. I don't think there was any money missing from his wallet. 2K? Yeah right. It was a bullshit accusation. Tony was angry at the wallet biopsy and he took out his anger from this poor paramedic. But that's just my opinion. At least he didn't take the money in the end, so that's some progress for Tony :D This is one my favorite episodes, a very underrated one imo. Nothing big happens but I love the discussions and existential questions it raises, which is where this show (and especially the last season) truly shines.

I used to work at Blockbuster! I never ran into AJ, though. I view Carmela's line to Tony about how she thinks Paulie & Vito held back some money, and specifically noting that Tony should keep an eye on Vito, as her finally stepping "in". She's spent the whole series wrestling with her complicity in Tony's crimes, and at times has denied any guilt because she "only" feeds him and washes his clothing, but last episode we saw her admit that her sticking around has tainted her and her children as well. And here we see that since she's in, she may as well be IN. She's made peace with the fact that she's an accomplice. When discussing the afterlife, the man in the room next to Tony mentions that Heaven & Hell are only real if you subscribe to a Duality view of the afterlife. A very common belief in Judaism -- though far from universal -- is that everybody gets the same afterlife, but whether you enjoy it or not depends on you and what kind of person you are. Something that's torture to one person may be paradise to another, and the only difference is how they perceive it, not a difference in the actual circumstance. I love this episode, but it does have the only actual plothole that bothers me for the whole series: As soon as Dick Barone died, SOMEBODY from the crime family would have approached Jason (the son) to make sure they kept control of the company. This is extortion 101. That would have avoided the entire problem of Tony and Paulie losing their cover jobs, and Jason getting caught unprepared for the mob violence to erupt against his crew and himself. The fact that nobody apparently had any idea Jason was selling the company until the deal was almost done doesn't make sense.
