It left the audience with as much information as Adriana knew about Christopher's supposed suicide attempt.

Because we're not told when that scene was originally intended to be shown and the scene itself doesn't make it obvious when its happening in the show's internal timeline, its hard to say how much info it would have given us as viewers. I feel like it would have been VERY unlike the Sopranos for it to have been shown to us before Tony knew Sal had flipped (maybe thats why they cut it but would it really have been written that way to begin with?). Or would it have been intended as a flashback after he was killed? Hard to say.

I take issue with saying "he had no choice but to flip." He absolutely had a choice. He chose to be a career criminal and knowingly commit crimes that could get him a life sentence.

In episode 310 they imply that Pussy got flipped back in 1995, or at least that Tony thinks that, but in season 2 in a conversation between Skip and Pussy, Skip says "You've been on our tit since 98..." Could this be a rare continuity error? Or were they telling us that Tony and the crew were wrong about when they thought he flipped, wanting to think the betrayal was even worse than it actually was so as to justify it to themselves?

The Tequila scene before he's executed was heartbreaking.

This videos are amazing!

I don't think Puss's back issues were necessarily a lie. I feel like Tony asking Puss "did she even exist?" was only put there to represent Tony's distrust of him.

Tony has the amazing ability to sum up a man's whole life in one sentence, lol I liked vin

Not sure his best quote, but I think the scene where he was crying, the episode where he was AJ's sponsor, was one of the best acted scenes in the entire series. 09:42 I also (respectfully) disagree that that was when he knew Tony was going to kill him, I think he was crying because he realized he was F'ing over people he loves. If he thought that, why wouldn't he just leave, again?

Was pretty bummed out by Big Puss turning fink, but it made the series more compelling.

You can call him a rat or a snitch which he was, but he had an impossible choice between that and his children. He knew he couldn't just take himself out because his family was already struggling financially at the time.

I tell anyone THIS DEATH changed tv forever. And this is what makes The Sopranos the best TV Show ever. It was the first time we saw a truly main and beloved character was killed. This beget Ned Stark and other future tv deaths. Cast members across television would look in a new script and wonder

Oz kinda did it first with Dino Ortaloni but Big Puss was an established character for two full seasons when he was killed. It was like if the show Friends killed off Joey, not something you saw in TV back then. I actually remember being a kid when Season 2 had just aired and Big Puss was killed, it was a big deal in the television world and a revolutionary series even just after 2 seasons back then.

Col Blake was a central to M.A.S.H. as Big Pussy was to the Sopranos and his death preceded the Sopranos by more than 2 decades.

Yeah, I wondered about the whole "bad back" thing. The subplot was sad too where Pussy thinks he can become an FBI agent and the agent strings him along on that idea 'til near the end. I think it'd be good to give credit to the actors involved (besides just Gandolfini). In this case Vincent Pastore. He was great and also so good in the movie "Revolver." Good job, as usual.

Another great video! FYI. The "docks" (Boardwalk) shown on the show are in Asbury Park, not Atlantic City. 🙂

Its not the story David Chase wanted to tell, so why bother? The show is not about cops so dont include them. He could have written in hours about investigations to make it more realistic but imo he went the right way. We all know cops arent stupid. There are hours and hours of tv programming that detail that.

Christopher must have been a frequent visitor, and known there, and could easily have been seeing going in or out. And wasn't J.T's girlfriend also there? Hard to believe he wouldn't be at least questioned about the killing. And people at AA and NA would have known of their association, which would have been uncovered in any serious investigation.

Well done!

Great video. Do a video on the supernatural.

In Episode 1, when Tony, Pussy, Paulie, Sil and Chrissy are sitting around at the Bing talking, there's a show on where a 60-minutes type guy is interviewing a former Mob Capo turned informant about the state of the Mafia. One of the few actual parts of that conversation that they show is the former Mafioso being asked what is the biggest thing that's hurting the mob. His response is "once they started dealing in drugs it was all over. That's a minimum 35 to life sentence, this harsh punishment is getting a lot of guys to flip" Exactly what happened to Big Pussy.

In real life the biggest flaw of omerta has to be no way out when marked for death Joe Valachi and Sammy Gravano and many more had no choice when felt betrayed because of the archaic rules . .

The moment he flipped he knew his life was forfeit. He just tried to stretch it out. But had he gone to Tony and informed him he probably would have saved his own life.

The tragedy of Puss' life--betraying his friend, killing Jimmy Bones with a hammer, putting a deliveryman in a coma--is made worse by domestic violence during his life and afterwards, as a desperate and then ambitious Angie begins to work with the DiMeo crime family and puts money on the street. That probably won't end well. When Carmela told Angie, "In the end, I know you're not going to leave him," it had a darker second meaning. Puss' activities cost his children their father and will likely take their mother from them, too.

@@joeyc8622 Thanks. Recall what Rosalie says about Angie, "It's like she used to be one of us, and now she's one of them." Many of "them" do get whacked. If she stays a partner, she still runs the risk of arrest and becoming an informant. Most informants in the Sopranos--think Jack Massarone--get whacked. Even if she survives, as she appears impressively competent in her new life when we last see her, she will have changed morally.

Great video

I also think it was Puss that had the Madams place busted in the 1st place. He knew the cop had probably been giving Tony the info that he was a rat. Which he stated in his return in season 2. That bust was also I think, was the beginning of Ray becoming a rat as well

my memory always tricks me into thinking Pus got killed in late Season 4. Thats how much of an impact his character had on the show.

I love this channel so much, thank you greatly for your creative input and love for this series!!!

While we may have wanted Chase to include the deleted scene, we have the luxury of being able to look back upon the series as a completed work of art. But, I believe we can understand why Chase cut the scene of Big Pussy being flipped by the Feds because, at the time, Tony's story arc was still in its infancy and slowly evolving. Most important I think was that the story was always from the perspective of Tony and giving any type of empathy to the predicament of an informant against Tony would have diluted the finished masterpiece.

In the card game scene, I wondered if Sal set Jimmy up for the raid. Did he inform about the guns? There's a scene where he looks at the door prior to the knock. Did he hear them out there, was the force with him or did he know the FBI was coming.

The mafia has a code against running from the cops? Is that in section 3 of the mafia user manual: "How to handle being arrested"?

Sopranos Theory- love you videos and I am a huge Sopranos fan. unrelated; your American accent is really good! what country are you from originally?

I always thought that Pussy hadn't been flipped in the flashback. It was about a bunch of sociopaths who miss their friend and are having mixed feelings of how it went down. If they were to reminisce when he was 10 years old they would see signs he was wired up.

I always interpreted the hurt back from the stress he was dealing with.

Puss's death was the one that haunted Tony the most throughout the show, much more than Tony B or Christopher.

The greatest part of this was seeing Sil absolutely shaken to the bone. And you see he nor Paulie really isn't over it during the Christmas episode.
