    Not only was he a good boss, i think he's one of the best side characters of the whole show. He is so brilliantly written with how small his role is and how little of a scene he has. In all of those scenes, he perfectly represents the cunning, manipulative, and smart boss. I love watching all his scenes because somebody can point out the little detail in his character, and it would enhance him tenfold. The fact that he subtly brings Tony down by mentioning the psychiatrist, pat under Tony's coat to check for wire, even the more obvious ones like manipulating his son or Tony to whack Johnny Sack. Not to mention, he is extremely funny and entertaining to watch. He is just as good of a character as his son, imo. Maybe even more.

    Well-written & well-acted character. The connection with Castellano is tendentious. Carmine was a business-minded racketeer. Big Paul was a businessman. Carmine’s ingenuity was a gravy train for others, such as when Uncle Junior earned a Fleetwood through point shaving. Paul refused to let the Gambino street faction wet its beak in his rackets. If anyone is based partly on Castellano, it’s Junior himself in his brief but greedy & tone-deaf stint as boss. Also, there’s been no boss of bosses since Luciano had Masseria & Maranzano whacked, & nothing in the Sopranos suggests Carmine has any power over other NY families.

    You got it reversed actually. Carmine had other revenue streams aside from construction when at the time John didn't. So Carmine's decision to shut down their joint construction projects hurt John the most. One amazing part about the shows writing is highlighting the Cosa Nostra ability to say something without actually saying it. The conversation between Carmine telling Tony to whack Johnny Sac and Tony telling Ralph that Jackie Jr needs to go and it's Ralphs fault that lead to that illustrates that beautifully...

    Interesting perspective. You are, however, incorrect. Carmine Sr. was, in fact, a D+, over-all. Fact is that Carmine and John were in business with Jersey, constantly and intimately. This "acceptance of Jersey as an actual family" was never seen by the other New York families. We hear Carmine slander Jersey as a glorified crew. However, that comes off as something Carmine has heard the other, more superior, New York bosses say repeatedly to each other for the past 30 years. I suspect that every other New York boss considered Carmine to be the runt. That is my take. edit- Also... Carmine Sr. valued money over this thing of theirs. John should have been granted his request.

    I had recently bought the box set at a reduced price and it was my first time watching The Sopranos. What can you say? F***ing brilliant 😂 I enjoyed it. Loved the finale and it really gets you going on all the possibilities. I went through hopefully he lives to he probably got whacked. But I have four theories of what happened in the end. 1. Tony gets whacked. 2. Tony lives by way counter hitmen. Tony knew all the ways of how the mafia and had counter hitmen in the diner. 3. The Feds arrest him at the moment Meadow comes in and that’s the end of his reign. Tony ends up in a situation like Johnny Sacks with his assets frozen and years in prison. 4. Meadow dies like how it went down on Godfather 3 but this least believable of the four. David Chase was brilliant to leave us on that note.

    I bet Carmine may have had a suspicion about what Tony and Johnny were planning during the disagreement over the real estate scams. Deciding to go from not backing down on his share to settling just as moves are being made behind him is a little convenient. Maybe he got a feeling that something was happening, he did survive at the head of a criminal organization for a long time.
