Junior's actor Dominic Chianese during the cast reunion a few years back brought up the scene with James/Tony at the end of "Where's Johnny" as one of his favorites because it made him cry then and even more now for obvious reasons. On a lighter note he brings up the golf course scene with him and Tony from season one where he makes fun of him for going down on his lady and he found that so hysterical and it was hard not to laugh.

It's a shame but Robert Loggia was supposed to be around for the whole season; sadly, he struggled to remember his lines exactly as they were in the script and David Chase was really strict on actors not changing a single word of dialogue, hence his swift exit.

He made a hella impression though! Damn, such a fun character. Not to meet, in real life (ugh!) But on TV...! :D And another foil like Richie Aprile or Ralph Cifaretto for Tony, hanging around an entire season, would be a little too much history repeating itself IMO. A guy like Feech, they're like salt in a stew. You want it savory, but too much and it spoils the whole pot.

To clear up some confusion about relationships: - Tony Blundetto's mother is Livia's sister Quintinia, making him Tony S.'s 1st cousin. You have previously heard Tony talk about "Aunt Quintinia" or "Aunt Quin". His father, Al Blundetto (Uncle Al) is brother of Christopher's mother Joanne, making him also Christopher's 1st cousin. - Christopher's paternal grandmother was sister to Hugh D'Angelis (Carmela's father), making Christopher's father, Dickie Moltisanti, Carmela's 1st cousin. - Dickie Moltisanti was best friend's with Tony's father, Johnny Soprano, and was a lieutenant under Johnny when Johnny was a Captain, and treated Tony like a nephew when Tony was a teenager more than Junior Soprano did. This is why Tony sometimes refers to Christopher as his "nephew". - Johnny Soprano died of lung cancer as a lifetime cigarette smoker.

Thanks! Nick knows I'll never remember all the names and family connections as hard as I try! 😁

Can't wait until you see more of Frank Vincent's character. My personal favorite character on the show, every line of his is pure GOLD

The good thing about THE SOPRANOS is - they want to focus on the story arc and the arc of the characters- You don't really need a whole episode taken up by seeing Bobby and Janice getting married. It would have needed to be a one off story line episode like "Pine Barrens" but they did not want to do that this late in the game. I like the fact they were married in between seasons

"...really the main focus is generational trauma" - Bang on. The Sopranos is, at its heart, an exploration of generational trauma. I've watched most of your Sopranos videos and honestly, at first I was like - Damn, The Sopranos is a strange choice for Mother and son to watch together. But it's actually an interesting dynamic. It's interesting watching a parent and child who are so comfortable with each other and address each other with simple respect and affection watching this show about parents destroying their children.

Joe Santos is the name of the actor you recognized Jenn ! I can’t think of the cop show right now but I always liked him!! Was thinking the tv show “The Rockford Files”and saw someone else said that!!👍

Joe Santos was with James Garner on The Rockford Files in the 70s.

Early drop today. I like it!!

Dang it you skipped the part where Tony yells at Feech saying, "Otherwise, shut the f... up!" Lol I used that one on my older brother one time when he made me mad.

That Jumped out the tree and come at me with a chainsaw always kills me. It's like he was super Jason Voorhees how the hell does a human jump out of a tree

With each season, Tony evolves a little more into his role as Boss of the Family Season 5 is when he really proves he has what it takes to be the Boss. (Of course some people would say NJ is nothing more than a glorified crew)

Actually I see the opposite. Tony was never a good boss & he’s getting worse as time goes. Makes more rash decisions that makes problems worse. He sees his family members (both personal & mob) more as pawns to move around & less like humans. What little humanity Tony had is slowly dying too. Point being... he keeps getting more & more self centered & losing the ability to think what’s best for the group instead of just thinking what’s best for him.

Think you may have misplaced sympathy for Carmela. She chose to bring 2 kids into a mob family for money. Meadow is carving a legit life for herself & her motivation to do so is to NOT be like her mom. AJ doesn’t have any respect for his mom either. Why would he?? Isn’t it the primary job of being a mother to protect & provide safety for their children?? How does marrying into a crime family provide her kid’s safety?? Carmela is a horrible mother & maybe the ending shot is warning to her she might be left all alone in the end. Just like Tony’s mob mother was.

I can't disagree here. She's definitely not a victim. Carmela's Jewish Psychiatrist was the most moral character on the show and she showed her colors when she decided to ignore his free advice.

@@Tusc9969 Carmela’s character challenges the morality of materialism. So many easily forget Carmela is as bad a mother as any poor crack head mother who constantly put their children’s safety at risk. But since Carmela’s addiction is material things to feed her fake social status... she gets more sympathy than a crack mother would.
