We are gonna need a provider volunteer or 2 for this! Hobbiests pick the first character that is going to get wacked! whoever is correct gets a free 1 hour session with one or more of the volunteers! If its a tie then the time is split up! Any other ideas!
[Edited by Carl M on 02-26-2001 at 09:31 AM]
I don't get it - WHAT is in it for the provider? WHY should she "volunteer?"
A better idea: ante up $ per person, and that pool pays the provider.
I've never seen the Sopranos. I'm no longer a provider. Why am I responding to this thread?
I dunno....
Lidia(tony's mom) gets it first. isn't that almost too easy..........

Its like watching Goodfellows(MOB) every week- this weekend is the big 2 hour show!! Its the only TV I watch every week. The characters are so real and they are based in Joisey!!

She died of natural causes! Even though Tony would have probably strangled her if she did not. Hey I think that new Tennis Instructor is a Lesbian, Those FBI guys were getting woody's watching them bend over!!

Slinky,
That tennis instructor was about as subtle as a Bowery hooker when dinkins was mayor. Question is does Christopher kill them or join in?
Slinky Bender
03-05-2001, 12:44 PM
I think the real question is: "Is the tennis instructor an FBI insider who is being sent after the person who they percieve to be the "weakest link" in the info chain?"
slinky...you smart guy...
but doesn't she look like "D" girl, the one Christopher banged towards the end of last season....(the jewish girl)

I'm REALLY surprised at you guys. According to the former governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, and I'm sure the former governor of New Jersey, Jim Florio, will agree, there is NO mob or Mafia or what ever other name there is. According to them it's ALL media hype.
C'mon guys get into the 21st century.

That's right, the "Mafia" is a fictitious organization invented by LCN.
jester
03-05-2001, 02:55 PM
And you wonder why Cuomo never ran for President.
I saw the show for the first time in a long while last night. I think that the guy in the van at the end (the driver, I forgot his name already) will get whacked soon, although maybe not the first.
More lethal, more deadly, more scrupiless than the Chinese Tongs, the Italian Mafia, the Columbian Cartel, the Russian Mob......

Did anyone see the big WOW on garbage truck that was blown up ?
BTW, kinda off the subject of a POOL, but there's a theory I've heard as to why Olivia only kept Tony's stuff from when he was a kid. (could it be that Tony is actually Junior's son ?)

04-02-2001, 11:24 AM
I got the impression that Ralphie was already "whacked" off camera by the end of the episode. Tony alluded to something at dinner about business and such. I don't remember the exact quote. But if you stayed for upcoming secenes from next week it seems that there was talk about a hit that may have been outside of the family. Normal protocol would have been for Tony to get permission from the other family. But my sense is that Ralph is done. I''ll have to watch the re-run this week to see exactly what Tony said that gave me that impression.
Slinky Bender
04-02-2001, 11:58 AM
I believe the protocol would be for Tony to run it by whomever sponsored him when he was "made".
jmcurry
04-02-2001, 02:12 PM
I can't see how Ralph is any longer viable. Although he is clearly "made," he has violated so many unstated rules that he has become an anachronism. Will he be whacked on screen, or will we learn of his demise indirectly?
fletch
04-02-2001, 02:50 PM
They're not going to whack him offscreen - there is too much dramatic mileage* to be gained from doing it onscreen.

Will they whack him BB, or will they use "protection" ?
Who was the comedian who did the routine in the 70's ( Robert Klein ? George Carlin ? ) about his first time, when the girl asked "Did you bring protection?", he answered "Yeah, Guido and Fungi; they're out in the car".

You know, when I first saw Meadow's roommate drunk off her ass and stripping in their dorm room, I thought I was in for a good time this season. Instead, she has turned into a psychotic freak. (Rather like real-life girlfriends, no?)
BTW, I'll bet anything that Noah fucked her when she came to his room. And then he has the balls to bitch about his C-...
i like that that little fag got a restraining order because he let her(meadows roommate) in and she talked all night.
ralphie is a goner. tony's the boss...he doesn't have to answer to anyone. they even said as much during that fight he had with ralphie. shame, cause i really like that guy as an actor. now did anyone catch the coming attractions......it looked like ralphie who took a bat to tony's caddy.
also meadows room mate is a goner........suicide or OD, pick one. that hair pulling shit has got to go.....what a fucking drama queen.
:cool:
Slinky Bender
04-02-2001, 04:58 PM
They dropped the rapist like a hot potato - when do they bring that back up again ?
they drop lots of things.....it's the one peeve i have with the show.
they also dropped the russians beating his sister(he was supposed to extract some revenge).
SkellyChamp
04-02-2001, 09:28 PM
the issue with the rapist and Dr. Melfi was simply a vehicle to highlight some of Melfi's issues with treating tony. The real key was her saying in her therapy session that she enjoyed the power that all she had to do was say something and she could have this guy snuffed out and then when tony asked her if anything was the matter she passed on it. just part of character development. you can't play up and develop all events. this served its purpose.
as for Meadow's roommate I have it on good authority that she is either not the same girl but has been created by the FBI and replaced Meadows real roommate and is spying on Meadow in the hopes she will spill something on her father OR
it turns out she is Burt Young's granddaughter and accepts the hit on Ralphie and after popping him has a psycotic episode, drives off the road and drowns in the Passaic River.
That shit with Noah's father obtaining an order of protection against Meadow's roommate was such bullshit and was very disappointing.

04-09-2001, 09:28 AM
Looked more like Bass to me.
best part is a doctor who doesn't fear a godfather until he gets his hat slapped off, backed up into a lake and told that golf is a "stupida fuckinga game".
for a guy who's supposed to be one of the most powerful men in the mafia, no one has too much fear of him. first meadows BF tells him to go fuck himself, and then this doc plays stupid with him. tony definitly needs to wack a few to get some respect back.
Hotpuppy
04-09-2001, 02:09 PM
Spot on characterization of an arrogant surgeon- cant count how many times Ive experienced that scenario played out between the doc and Junior. It was great seeing the guy backed up into the water hazard by Tony and Furio

"Cunnilingus and Psychiatry has brought us to this"
" The Feds are so far up my ass I can taste Brill Cream"
" So what no fucking Ziti?"
" I'm in Waste Management Consultant"
These are just a few that stick out in my mind. There are plenty more, anyone care to add ?
I finished watching the whole first season on DVD since I had not seen the Sopranos from the very beginning, so I'm in the mood to quote. "Oh Poor YOU!"

Gotta think that no good is going to come out of the head banging between Christopher and Paulie. These two used to be tight...
And when are they going to give Furio something to do, Tony brought him over from Italy and he is rarely used.
Maybe he could whack Ralphie, who even at his worst is not as unlikeable as the late Richie Aprile.

______________________________________________________________________________________
Straining to take a shit causes a vaso-vagal response ,which in a person with a preexisting heart condition = heart attack, one aspect of treatment post coronary is to keep the patient on stool softeners to prevent such an ocurrence( or is this more than you wanted to know?)

Gotta think that Tony, knowing Ralphie is a loose cannon/crazy fuck, is setting him up to step on his dick in a serious way. Then he will have no recourse but to whack him.
Could somebody explain to me why it is bad form for Tony to "bitch slap" a made guy, but perfectly acceptable to whack them?
Years ago when I worked in the garment district loading and unloading trucks for my old man, I met alot of the guys that owned the trucking companies as well as the loan sharks that helped keep medium sized businesses going when they were cash poor. Being a teenager I was not privvy to the after hours conversations that went on, but every once in awhile they let me hang out - these guys were scary/funny. Most interesting guy I ever met was a low level contract guy( I learned this years later when I met him again, in an operating room- another story) named Tony Duck, not the duck, just Duck. Apparently he got his nickname from depositing his victims in the then swamp still know as the Meadowlands, " Tony knows the Meadowlands like a duck" was how it was told to me. Funny, but Tony was the first person I can remember who would greet people with a now ubiquitous " How ya doin'"? Excuse me, I digressed
Take care HP

Tony himself will get whacked at the end of the season and the show will end due to complaints from Italian Americans not to mention the town in New Jersey who hates the show being taped there.

Meadow is a Longiland girl. Up until 2 months ago she lived with her parents in Nassau County. See her at the Supermarket on occassion. Got a little chubby. You do not like fat chicks.
I am waiting for the Tennis instructor to reappear.
meadow looks pretty damn good to me. i think she dropped a few since last season though.
and i don't hate fat chicks.....well thick ones anyway you know i liked BL, val, sam, pamela and gabby's no waif either.......but not fat by a long shot......not an ounce on her.
it's the skinny boney chicks i don't like (ie...Vera). someone like shauna is about as thin as i'd go. at least she still has a shape and an ass to her. skinny little girls remind me of 12 yr old boys.......not my thing.

I won't comment on that because I am sure no one wants to know who arroused that makes me but i missed bout 15mins of it last nite. Is it on same time tonite? or later? I really liked it but thought the pine barren scene was lousey.
think the fact that steve buscemi directed last nights episode had anything to do with the pine barren part.
he was in fargo with the snow and another movie where a body comes alive (after they thought they killed him) in the trunk.

Agree, last nights episode one of the best ever, Paulie and Christopher were funny and pathetic at the same time. A nod was also given to "Goodfellas" and the scene where Joe Pesci character beats the shit out of made guy "Billy Bats" who keeps taunting him with the shoeshine routine. The guy isnt dead and Joe Pesci borrows his mother's carving knife after dinner to finish the job and then they go out to bury the guy.
I think the Pine Barrens were chosen to allude to Siberia, a place where the Russian would feel at home and the wiseguys would be at a disadvantage. Brilliant .
Jackie Jr. got a thing for strippers and escorts!

There were some very good lingo between Pauli and Chris- I was cracking up, watched it twice it was so good!!
the look on paulies face while he was sitting in the back of tony's truck....said it all.
no if flurio had been there to say ...."ay` you gotta mayonaise on yu chin" then it would have been perfect.

of course if you looked at coming attractions for next week (which are designed to throw you off track), it looks like Tony and Chris have it out..
And maybe Carmela has an STD or worse??????

When Chris says, " I told you we should have gone to Roy Rogers" and Paulie chimes back, " Yah and I fucked Dale Evans". Extremely hilarious!!
during their feast when paulie says....
try it (the ketchup) with the relish......

I may be mistaken, but didnt Paulie say, "Yeah, and I( should have) fucked Dale Evans". ? It sems like a quibble, but it makes more sense as a reply.
Latest interesting prediction I heard: Carmella finally gets fed up with Tony's philandering and turns states evidence!. Frankly , I dont think she will do this as the culture allows for Tony's dalliances, she doesnt like it, but she wont turn him in. But just remember the powerful scene with the psychiatrist that Dr. Melfi sent her to: " I wont take your blood money".

Wasn't there some worry at some point that Tony's Mom would do the same thing ? If so, perhaps it was foreshadowing that Melfi told Tony that he's attracted to women who show the same characteristics as his Mom.

I have it on very good authority that Meadow comes up pregnant. I think the next episode she becomes sicker still, checks herself into a hospital and is found to be prego.
And furthermore, my personal opinion is that Christopher gets wacked. Somebody better get wacked soon. This is getting rediculous already.
Peace out

Don't forget about Ralphie. It looks like Tony is allowing Ralphie to make the mistakes here. Its obvious Tony doesn't want to whack Jackie Jr., but since he's allowing Ralphie to make the decision, it would be his responsiblity.
Next week, last episode, last bets on who gets it in the end. Gloria looks like she out of the running, no mention of her in the sneak preview. And what the frig happened to the russion commando??? It's definitely something to do with Paulie and Chris. I put my money on Chris.

I think Ralphie set up Jackie Jr., only Im not sure why. Tony is definitely "handling" Ralphie, cant believe he is long for this world. Must protest how my second favorite character( first is Silvio), Furio, is being treated, every once in awhile he gets to beat someone up etc. , now he nearly gets his dick shot off. Gloria is not insane, fucked up, but not insane, Tony's "handling" of her was charming, but he did finally figure out that he chooses mistresses that mirror his mother. My question is, why did he ever choose Carmella?

Furio did not get shot in the dick...If you look closely that doctor pulled the bullet out of his thigh. :)
Although I do agree with you on their usage of Furio. I friggin love that damn accent. 'fuckina stupida gamea'
I think Melfi said he was lucky to find Carmella. I don't think they ever went over how Tony and Carmella met, It probably would be an interesting sub plot. Should email HBO.

Last,
Since you quoted my post, I have to assume you read it- I wrote "nearly" got his dick shot off, not "shot in the dick". If you remember there was at least one reference to Furios dick by a wiseguy, something to the effect: hey doc, why dont you give him a package- or "nearly" that.
take care hp

Looks like we are going to have to wait a YEAR for 2002 Sopranos. New episodes will start next April or May.
AAARRRGGGHHHH
I read a great article yesterday that says that if the show ends next year as Gandolfini and David Chase have said, it will end with Tony having to choose between his family and The Family. Tony will sing like a canary, realizing that he cannot live his life the way he has, and the show will end with his family going into witness protection.

I wasn't too thrilled either with the season finale, but at least someone finally got wacked .
Now that's Italian.
Peace out

it sucked.
one shitty thing happened and they built a lame funeral and show around it. thought for sure they'd put the russian in it. HBO fucks up everything. thats why they'll never be like a real network when it comes to producing weekly series.
it just goes to show how they drag their ass's making this show. it went off the air in march and yet they only got around to filming last jan (they had the giant/ravens super bowl). this season looked just like they rushed thru it.
tony should skip the military school and beat that fucking kid(AJ) off every wall in that house.
take meadows credit cards away and teach that spoiled bitch some fucking respect.
the show sucked....especially the last 5 minutes....what the fuck was that.
they should have been filming me this past friday morning/afternoon while i was jumping off bridges and wandering around in the jersey swamps in newark. i didn't find any bodies though.................don't ask!

Really disappointing enterprise
but guess everybody who had it on good authority as to what was going to happen better re-check their sources. they ain't as good as you think.

05-20-2001, 07:37 PM
sorry - disappointing episode not enterprise
though it would get exciting when they showed Paulie Walnuts running at the funeral - thought may be the Russian was back, but alas it was just the coppers
msn.com as well as abc and nbc tv, both reported that christopher was getting wacked. guess you can't believe everything the media reports.

It appears that the reason why it takes so long is that the writers actually think about what to write and to keep the writing true to the characters..
Best lines....(those of you with children will appreciate it..and those of you without should understand..)
Tony to Dr. Melfi about AJ "How we gonna save this kid?" Cut to Jackie's coffin
Carmela looks at Jackie's coffin..cut to bedroom where she snuggles next to Tony.."Ok Let's try it your way".
I get it, I get it.
my way is quicker and more to the point. it's also cheaper......unless you bust a few holes in the walls with AJ's head.
it's funny...the kid basically tells mom to go fuck herself and dad slaps him.....mom looks on ih horror at what her husband did. maybe if he slapped that little fuck around when he first got tossed from school he would have learned. shit if i ever spoke to my perents like that...i wouldn't be here right now.

Geez, to say it simple, the finale was for shit! Jackie is the only one to get it when Ralphie, Paulie and Chris could have bought it too! Too many things are up in the air! Tony is on the outs with Chris and Paulie. Paulie meanwhile could go with the NYC syndicate and also must be looking over his shoulder for Ivan! Meanwhile Adrianna next season will spill her guts to that FBI lady and down the road we could see Chris possible becoming a turncoat! Not a good finale!!
robnotbob
05-21-2001, 07:02 AM
Kinda like life, huh??
Don't you hate it when these sitcoms neatly tie everything up in a package after 22 minutes (or hour dramas after 48 minutes)?
You knew they couldn't get to everything in one show.
This episode made me believe that next year is the last year as the creators have been saying. Paulie's gone, Tony dissed Chris last night, Adriana has a new best friend in the FBI and Tony doesn't want to see his kids live the life he has (he blames his father).
Tony sings like a canary (or is that a soprano in the choir??) next year.
i didn't expect everything to come together but more than ONE thing....and the one obvious thing that everyone knew was going to happen, after last week. when the second biggest plot of the night(with all the cliff hangers to use) is AJ cheating on his test........
the show sucks.
even the way he got wacked was pretty lame.

I must agree that the season finale absolutely blew chunks. I didn't like anything about it. Even with Meadow's "conflict of conscious". There was too much about Tony's family and not enough about Tony's Family.
However, on a brighter note, with the addition of Fairuza Balk (as the lady FBI), next season should be more interesting. I do have a bit of a hardon for gothic types which Ms. Balk is used to playing...So seeing her dark contenence along with Adrianna should produce interesting...uhhhh...visual scenes.
Although I must say, she has got to get rid of that hair!
And I have one question...
When did Artie get back together with that friggin wife of his???????!?!!?!? I thought they were in the middle of divorce proceedings. Yet at the wake, he was standing there with his arm around his wife and staring longingly at Adrianna.
Plot loophole? Editing mistake??
hmmm, maybe I'm forgetting 5 min. of last episode???

I think this was a bit of a ripoff from HBO. This was not a season finale, but an hour long teaser for next season. there was a little sizzle ( very little ), and no steak. They left all the interesting issues open ( the Russian Commando and the whole Russian "thing", Pauli and Chris, Pauli and NY, Arti and Adrianna, AJ's issues, Meadows issues, yada, yada yada ). I think part of the reason for this is that many contracts are up at the end of next season, and they are not sure if the next will be the last one.
What should have been the culmination of excitement that had built up from the past episodes was not a crescendo, but a refrain in anticaption of the next act. I think this is what happens when you let the marketing guys have influence over the creative process.
