The Sopranos (HBO) TV Show • Page 5

A.J. deciding to join the military because his life is aimless but immediately giving it up because his father gets him a good job and new car is one of the better cultural critiques in the show.

 

Yea, his recovery from a suicide attempt seemed kinda rushed to give him a happy ending

 

I don't think it implied a full-recovery at all. All we see is that he strangely finds hope in the burning car and then it's left open-ended at the restaurant.

 

He is burying it like Tony does. No one in the family deals with their problems. Carmela complains about Tony but then she justifies it with her spec house. Meadow gives up all of her idealism and starts defending the Mafia to Finn and marrying the son of another mobster.

 

I still would like to know what happened to Furio haha

 

Or the Russian

 

The Gabagool Podcast - Season One - YouTube My friend and I started a Sopranos podcast called The Gabagool. thought this would be a good place to share! I linked a playlist, our episodes go up weekly on Fridays. We post to youtube as we cut in clips, but for those who prefer, the youtube audio also goes up on soundcloud. The Gabagool Podcast

We have five episodes up so far, hope people enjoy, and if you do, please subscribe to youtube, we apparently can't get a personalized url till we hit 100 subscribers.

 

Will definitely check it out

 

my friend got so angry when she found out that gabbagool was referring to capocollo but jokes on her she's scottish

 

Actually a well made video with some great points.

 

yeah i think the takeaway from the finale is very much not did Tony die but rather how can we hold onto what is significant in our lives before the inevitable occurs.

 

yall are really gonna make me go and binge this whole series again for like the 7th time SMH

 

it's only my second run through but rewatching with an unexposed friend is unbelievably rewarding

 

I did 6 a few months ago

 

I think he dies lol.

 

i lean the other way but as i said i believe its the inherent ambiguity and tension that Chase wanted to draw our attention to

 

Definitely. Plus he knew people like us would have arguments about it a decade later.

 

i hope the Sopranos would be respected and relevant today either way but it certainly didnt hurt

 

This so much. People do so much debating about WHAT happened but the scene is designed to make you feel how quickly the things you love can be taken away from you, and it works on a literal level and a meta level. I've said it before but this is one of the pieces of entertainment that's actually made me work towards being a better/more grateful person.

 

i will never forget sitting in my living room watching the last episode with my friend and my dad. my dad wasn't really an avid follower of the show but the last episode of this show, kind of like Lost, was just an event that people tuned in for. he freaked out because he thought i had sat on the remote or something when the screen went black, and we all shuffled around the couch to try and find it then the credits started rolling and we just sat there for actual minutes without speaking. It was great.

 

Doing my rewatch in between finishing up my re watch of Boardwalk. So many actors that are in both its interesting. Nelson’s probi whom he murders is in the ep of Sopranos where he’s the manager of some nursery that the cop whom ticketed Tony is now working at.

Also meadows roommate(even though depression/suicide isn’t funny) offers a lot of comic relief.

Roommate: “now if I can just get passed the sound the pine trees make at night..

Meadow: “I’m going to see Noah!”
Lol
