Can you believe that Dr. Melfi is 45 years old in this scene while James (Tony) is only 38? To me, he looks so much older albeit a lot thinner. The last few seasons are heartbreaking to watch because his heavy breathing took on a character all its own; it's no wonder why he died at a relatively young age.

You can actually hear and see the youth in this scene. He just comes off as 5 or 10 years older because of how good the acting is. Gandolfini was a textbook method actor so you can see it if you look for the signs. He used great acting to look a little older and stressed out as a middle aged man but look at his skin, round face and mannerisms. He's still pretty young.

RIP James Gandolfini. You were a tremendous actor and you will sorely be missed.

Prior to this part of the conversation, Tony talks about a certain "loan" he and Christopher have to negotiate. Melfi immediately picks up on the whole shtick and mentions doctor patient confidentiality, great piece of writing that.

The interesting thing about Tony early on is that he really is quite sympathetic and says some genuinely insightful/philosophical things like he does here. It's genuinely hard to tell if the writers are actually channeling their own opinion through Tony or whether they side with Melfi. THAT narrative ambiguity just doesn't exist on television anymore. Nothing will ever compare to this show.

@trakomako actually the great Genovese Family Boss, Frank Costello, went to a therapist at one point. And that was decades before this show.

wow i just finished watching the sopranos and he looks much younger here, it is years later though i suppose

Nobody says that, but this scene il linked to Madman, created by Matthew Weiner, who worked for Soprano's screenplay

Damn, cut off at what was probably a really interesting line. "Do you feel depressed?" "Since the ducks left" "The ducks?" What was he going to say next? Reminds me of a part of Catcher in the Rye

RIP James

HERE COMES THE PROZAC

Look at how Dr. Melfi is checking out the Bulge.

Nope... it seemed like a gradual change over the seasons, but you can really tell the difference when watching a scene from the 1st season and a scene from the 6th season. His voice was a lot deeper and more natural sounding earlier in the series, but got really "constricted" sounding and nasally in later seasons. Could just be due to James Gandolfini's voice changing due to age. He was 35 when the series started and was 45 or 46 when it ended. Then again it could've just been part of the act.

am i the only one who never noticed his voice change that much?

i wanna make a tony soprano receading hairline flip book

What year is this about 97'

actually they should have made the sopranos like coronation street is; pretty much neverending. let it shift between characters and mob bosses, whatever. maybe even follow some characters into other cities. give it a 50 year run. those are the best shows.

One of the great scenes during its run. Exactly how I feel about counselors, psychologists and that whole rent a friend fake world.

Ignorance is bliss. Dr. Melfi is a psychiatrist. While psychiatry and psychotherapy has been largely ineffective, clinical psychology such as cognitive behavioural therapy has been very effective in reducing depression and anxiety, shown through empirical data. Also, this entire speech is Tony projecting. He may be right here as you say, but the fact is that he is a self-contradicting hypocrite and a incredibly dysfunctional person. But I do like him nonetheless. He condition is very relatable - 'happy wanderer' and his many other frustrations. Even aspects of his assholic and criminal sides are appealing when they are against on far bigger assholes than him, like Janice.
