When you see him in other stuff, you really get an even deeper sense of the genius it took to bring Tony Soprano to life. What a talent. I can only imagine what it was like for the other actors.

Edie Falco is so raw and real in the hospital episode, even down to them not putting her in her gangster wife get-up, and dressing her in regular clothes, she is stripped of all the artifice we see her in for the rest of the series (even in the pool scene in Marco Polo from last season she's fully clothed). Her acting was never less then top notch but this (and maybe the argument scenes when she and Tony are separated) is her at her absolute best.

Note that Junior started to lose it after he fell down the courthouse stairs and hit his head - something that in his coma also happens to Tony. Don't know what the significance of it is but I doubt it's a coincidence.

So about 42 when he was Johnny Ola in The Godfather Part ll

47:08 Funny that Sam casually refers to Gene as "Florida kid". Gene is 47, the same age that Billy Leotardo was when that animal (I can't even say his name) whacked him, and as confirmed by Phil, he was also just a kid at 47. Sam superfan confirmed.

way to use animal as an insult, genius! we’re all animals, basic biology and obviousness, not just nonhuman fellow animals, and at least they use their hearts&brains & innate abilities and aren’t frightened hurt brainwashed into being cancerous parasites & meat puppets like too many of you humans!

Of all the deaths in this show, Eugene’s is uniquely disturbing, unexpected and heartbreaking Edit: uncle junior said the name “malanga” when he shot Tony. He thought in his demented brain that Tony was his arch nemesis; pussy malanga. The guy he wanted to originally whack in Artie’s restaurant in the very first episode of the series

You may have realized this already, but each season is unique in that they all focus on how Tony fits into a certain role in his life. Season 1 is about Tony as a Son, his relationship with his mother and his father figure - Uncle June Season 2 is about Tony as a Brother, his relationship with Janice and two of his brother figures - Richie and Pussy Season 3 is about Tony as a Father, his relationship with Meadow, AJ and also Jackie Jr, who he tries to look after Season 4 is about Tony as a Husband, his relationship with Carmela and the breakdown of their marriage Season 5 is about Tony as a Boss, his relationship with his crime family and all the guys he has to try and be a leader for Season 6 is, finally, about Tony as an Individual, and his fundamental relationship with himself and his own, basic humanity The first couple episodes of the season very much deal with this.

Gene got made the same day as Chris so it was interesting to see his story play out to such a gruesome end.

The Father/Mafioso that ended his life was Eugene Pontecorvo. He got made with Christopher when that black bird popped up at the window, and he’s the one that beat up Little Paulie at the Construction Site.

Members Only was the first episode of Sopranos I had ever seen so I was kind of attached to Gene when I went back to start it lol. It was like a perk. I probably would've forgotten him as well my first time. If you go back to look when Chris got made, Eugene was the other guy there that got made at the same time.

Ah, Kevin Finnerty....one of the best and most daring moves this show (or any show) ever made.

I’ve watched this series 4 times, and generally have a memory like a steel-trap, and still have absolutely no idea who the character you are referencing is before watching this reaction 😂 Here’s to remembering upon watching this 🙂

The coma dream is one of the most well written and acted beautiful slices of film television etc whatever in the history of t.v.

The song that plays at the end credits of the second episode is Moby- When It's Cold I'd Like to Die. It was also used in Season One of Stranger Things. The Sopranos had a fantastic soundtrack. When I hear these songs now I cant help but think of the scenes they were used in. One of the best attributes of the show IMO.

It is very realistic dialogue. This show really nails the dialogue the entire series

I just finished this series about a month ago (I started watching thanks to you guys) and have been patiently waiting for you all to get to season 6. It is going to be agonizing to wait for each of these reactions to trickle out 😂😂. I have enjoyed the ride with you guys and am both excited and sad to see that season 6 is finally here.

2 deaths that always stick with me is Eugene shooting Teddy in this episode and Brad Pitts death in the Jesse James movie. They way both their heads hit against surfaces after being shot is pretty disturbing. Can’t wait for you guys to finish the series!

I am not sure if I am imagining this but, I would swear the voice on the phone with Tony in his dream when he is stuck as finnerty (the voice of his wife) was Annabella Sciorra who played the Mercedes saleswoman Gloria Trillo.

I kinda thought it might be Charmaine’s voice.

The season opener is one of the greatest moments in The Sopranos - the "Material"/William Burroughs song over that fantastic montage.

Aside from the very finale, there is one other very brutal moment from this season that I'm very curious to see their reaction to.

the ending song of ep 2, Moby's "When It's Cold I'd Like to Die", was used in season 1 and 4 of Stranger Things

SHOUTOUT FROM BENSONHURST BROOKLYN, NEW YORK! 🇮🇹🇺🇸

"That rat is still alive"?? Best line of the series reaction lol

36:03 - in case you've forgotten about Pussy Malanga and Junior. Junior wanted Malanga dead in Season 1 and he wanted to shoot him dead in Artie's restaurant. Tony spared Artie of that by blowing up his restaurant. Malanga ended up getting killed elsewhere that season

i gotta say it... you are just sooo good at what you do. right on top of it. i've got it all on cd and have seen them all a million times, you guys catch things that i've never even spotted. like the door leaning. can't wait for more from you. watching and lovin it from Gatlinburg, Tennessee. go w/ God. much peace and lots of love, y'all. see you on the next.

10:15 "Im surprised he talked to him like that" Damn, Sam is picking up on a lotta the little things. Great eye

You’re right. The first episode does feel like a season finale. Characters have new developments in their life (AJ in school, Janice with a baby). Eugene feels like one of those characters who comes in for a season and dies by then end (Richie, Jackie Jr, Tony B). But he’s introduced and dead by the end of the episode. Tony getting shot would also be in a finale (like when he *nearly* got shot at the end of season 1).

I remember reading an article about common occurrences in every season of Sopranos. Tony always has a car crash. Tony has a panic attack. A person vomits, and they're always in opposition to Tony. From the FBI guy to Adriana when she was an informant. There are always two scenes where two different characters are in a hospital bed. Always an unusual death. For example, dying on the toilet.

If you look in the credits, you'll see "Dialect coach for Mr. Gandolphini", so he can be consistent with his Jersey accent...

I was waiting for this reaction for a while. Sam’s face and gasp when Tony got shot was priceless

Hope y'all are doing well, all three, great episode. Almost 20 years since I saw it.👍

These things, come in 3s. Is tony in purgatory? "6,000 years is nothin' in eternity terms. I can do that standing on my head"

30:57 “I’ve heard this song at the end of something super sad before” that song was used from Stranger Things

I for one, am going to miss the hell outta you two reacting to this show..... I'm gonna savor these last 21 eps lol.

“Get Pudgy Walsh on the horn..” I say this to people when there is an issue lol

Great reaction this show is timeless I'm from New jersey and have been to lots of these locations it's nice to see you building your brand.

Yeah, this masterpiece of art gets darker and darker as it goes. Near the end, it gets almost unbearably depressing and dark. Having said that, it's the greatest piece of art ever made and it captures the complexities of life and the human condition better than anything I've ever seen, or probably ever will see. I'm jealous that you get to experience this for the first time.

Welcome to “Sopranos: Season 6: A Masterclass in…well…everything” ☺️ Can’t wait to watch what you all think of this absolutely legendary season of television/cinema 🙂

Yooz guys......best reaction channel on the Tubes.

Eugene made a lifelong commitment we all heard the oath... this thing comes before family.... dude shouldve never said a word

This is when the Soprano's Iceberg Theory really begins to go deep

Great comments from you guys as well as from other commentators. A masterclass all around.

I just recently found this channel. You guys are killing the Sopranos reactions. I can't want to see you finish, but finishing this show is kinda sad as well.

You have to do Mad Men after this in the exact same format.

Season 6 is legendary

The reason his wound is open in the hospital is because it was a new thing to heal from the inside out instead of outside in. My late dad had a triple bypass operation in the late nineties and he had the same thing.

Although season almost wasn't made, this is my favorite season of the show. This show was the only reason was paying for HBO back in the day.

Season 6 is where you clearly notice Sopranos is chasing the best show ever trophy.

Remember the first 3 seasons, everything was colourful, the family was doing good, money was coming in. Compare this to season 5 and 6.

The beauty of finishing the sopranos is you can start the whole thing again from the very beginning, I generally watch the entire series at least once a year...

Just an additional detail, the older more cooperative rat (Ray Curto) had a kid with multiple sclerosis as was mentioned casually a couple of times and he even mentions how expensive the medicine that his kid requires is. It probably helped make him pretty easy to flip and get to cooperate.

A lot of people don’t like the dream sequences on the show but Tony’s coma dream is absolutely loaded with symbolism. Who IS Tony soprano? Why is his identity lost? Why doesn’t he have a New Jersey accent? What does the briefcase represent? Why are the monks, who typically represent wisdom peacefulness, so aggressive toward Tony? …it goes on and on -more than can really be picked up in one viewing.

I always assumed that the monks aggression was a combination of Tony struggling with questions of morality/spirituality/self-reflection, and his perception of Janice (who used to be a Buddhist).

Tony quotes Eastern philosophy without believing jn it. And if I remember correctly, the last time he was in a coma, someone left a Buddhist quote on his wall that he eventually threw away. The monks slapped him saying they've been trying to reach him could be a nod to that.

i feel like there's no consensus on this season but people i trust and myself believe that it is the best! chase et al go daringly dark in this one. it's some of the most morbid and bleak stuff i've ever seen. the moby needledrop is legendary, frequently imitated. i study macabre and pessimistic literature for a living and Sopranos S6 is like a world-historical instance of black, grimey, deathly art.

I wish you could have done 2 and 3 together...The best dream sequence of the show...Purgatory...very good!

I liked the line “ My whole life is in that case”. How he doesn’t have his identity, along with the “baggage” that comes with it. Interesting metaphor with what we try to hold on to, afraid to let go. And you couldn’t imagine my reaction when I first saw Uncle Junior shoot Tony. Hell I was even worried about the pasta lol. Great review!

I have waited so long to see your reaction to these two episodes 😅😂

The most amazing thing we feel sorry for murderer who has put other people in a similar position. The writers are just that good we invest in the bad guy.

Greetings from Turkey.... And congratulations on your for the Baby ❤

In the scene where Hesh gets carjacked and beaten it was filmed at the corner of Central Ave. and Congress Street in Jersey City, NJ. I lived in an apt. on that corner for seven years from 1999-to 2006. I walked past that exact spot where it was filmed a thousand times.

I believe "Gentleman Rat and the Florida Kid" is planned as a Sopranos spinoff. 😄

You guys should check out Nurse Jackie, Edie Falco is amazing and totally different from Carmela but that show is also a ride in the way Sopranos is. Basically if you want to see Edie play a character closer to Tony you should check it out.

They used that song in "Stranger Things."

Can't wait for episode 5 and 6.

Junior gets pushed down the stairs at the courthouse and that's when his alzeimers kicks off.

This season is amazing! Lots of really unexpected moments.

here we go such a good season

When the show ends, it would be really nice if you could do a separate video where you reflect on subscriber comments and pitch in with your views. I really enjoy your post-episode comments.

Eugene should of just started a business down in Florida and sent tony an envelope every couple of weeks

Imo season 6 is television at its most masterful.

Eugene's suicide was awful but very truthful about not having options. You can see in this episode how Phil smells blood in the water and starts making moves.

Tony in a different life if he chosen another path, still successful

That song you mentioned at the end of the episode is called When It's Cold I'd Like To Die by Moby, in case you were interested.

I'd forgotten about the coma episodes. That was some good TV.

"The wheel keeps turning" = OMG!! (if you know you know)

Best season of the best show of all time.

For what it's worth, there's a pretty convincing social media post out there somewhere that states that the "Members Only" episode is very pivotal to the end of the series.

There is also a prequel movie, made recently about Tony's dad, which you may find interesting but in itself it wasn't particularly memorable.

Eugene's (Florida guy) story in episode 1 is simply to demonstrate there's no leaving the family if they don't want you to. Think you'll win the lottery and give it up? Guess again.
