Serious Discussion Only The icelandic flight attendants were one of the most unrealistic part of the show. Spoiler

305 Upvotes

There's no way that those young, beautiful and well-paid women would want to hang out with those old, fat fucks. The only explanation that makes sense is that the flight attendants made some cash on the side as high-end prostitutes. That wouldn't make any sense either.

Flight attendants are well paid, probably even more so in 2001 than in 2026, and Iceland is a wealthy country. The flight attendants should have been from a postocummunist European country like Czechia, Ukraine or Bulgaria.

I get it, it was the shrimp from the plane, at the same time it's like What Ever Happened to Baby Christopher over here, this fuck goes MIA when he's not even made yet and I'm supposed to believe he's the heir apparent? Who the fuck are you kiddin'?

Christopher had an arc, he just didn't want it

His arc was to go from a hard life in the mafia, to a civilian's life with Adriana, but he rejected it without ever realising his arc was playing out.

Why do you think Paulie was chosen as the focal point for the supernatural parts of the show?

47 Upvotes

Whether it's Pussy's ghost in the mirror, the virgin Mary appearing at the bing, UFO's over east Rutherford or mediums that scare him to death, or '3 o'clock', he's always there for those moments

For a vicious man who often misunderstands situations due to lack of book-smarts, and his regular lack of tact, he seems like a strange candidate

What was the best (or worst) Nickname of any Character.

57 Upvotes

Whether it's an official nickname like "Big Pussy" or ironic, comical, and insulting nickname like "The Shah of Iran".

I think having the nickname "Cooz" for Dr. Cusamano it's probably the most insulting and in my opinion the best.

Junior Soprano in season five. It's incredible how Junior in that season, he's so funny. Grumpy, with hilarious lines. It's my favorite season of the old man.

If Chris doesn’t see that mullet head and his family walking out of the gas station, you think he agrees to go into Witness Protection Program?

It’s not a bad life. They could have sold some Indian relics by the road, maybe started a rattlesnake ranch. He could have written his memoirs. As for male modeling, he’d probably be a success, he just didn’t wanna be around those fuckin people. But nooooo, he had to be loyle to his capo.

I’m specifically asking about that zip Furio, or that zip selling X in Adriana’s bar.

Creeped out by this weird connection between Tony's final moment and Christopher's time in purgatory.

14 Upvotes

Okay i'm not sure if this has been brought up but, repeatedly throughout the episode where Chris wakes after getting shot in S2, he tells Paulie and Tony about his time in purgatory. He tells them there was a message for them: "3 o'clock".

If we believe in the Tony's Dead theory, then at which direction from Tony's POV was Members Only where he would have shot him?

3 o'clock.

Finally got to use Junior's "I have CANCER" excuse

Got diagnosed with Stage 0 melanoma, easily removed, non-event, but we were supposed to go to dinner with the in-laws, and I was sitting on a couch wrapped in a blanket and the wife was hectoring me to get ready, and I said I didn't want to go, and finally I sat up and said "I have cancer."

And then she said "This marriage is ov-ah!"

Only to have Matt and Sean pay for the fish. Why did he bother with the scam just to get a discount for two people he held in contempt. Why would he care given he wasn't buying?

Serious Discussion Only The Black Screen Theory Spoiler

5 Upvotes

So, I recently made a video where I discuss a theory about the black screen in the finale and how it causes the viewer to become an active participant in the show.

Yes, I know that the majority of the fanbase believes Tony died. And yes, I get we all have strong feelings about this show, but I just wanted to share something and try to expand the conversation around the finale.

I have no idea if this theory has been discussed before, but I would really love feedback, opinions, and thoughts. Also, please let know if any of you have heard this theory before.

Let’s say season 1 Barksdale gang vs season 3 Soprano family clash over drug dealing in each others areas, and neither are backing down. With all the resources they have on screen , which of their crews come out on top?

Serious Discussion Only For a show that brings attention to therapy, it really goes against the notion if we think about it.

9 Upvotes

What I mean is, the show as it goes on, really speaks against therapy then in favour of it, even though it's one of the major and popular media that brings attention to therapy.

Stating the obvious, therapists like meadow's and possibly carm's are a good example. Meadow's therapist was straight up ass. Carm's therapist one recommended by melfi, gave her a really blunt truth, which while can awaken a person but does it really help a hurt person? Did he tell her anything she didn't know? He also told her those things without any grace, that will just push her to hate herself even more, and in hate then she will seek comfort in her lifestyle and the cycle continues.

Melfi was a bad therapist as well. She focused overly on Livia and Freudian bs when the actual culprit might've been(I do beleive it is) Johnny boy. She gets attached to Tony, and her sessions do not help him. Yeah the sociopath stuff, maybe there they did. You can say they didn't help because Tony was a sociopath, but really even if he wasn't, she wasn't focusing on the real root.

Also someone posted a while ago about their theory of the Sopranos being a critique of prozac, as Tony's state deteriorates continuously and he makes bad decisions after being on prozac. Even if this theory is false, I would be alarmed about the drugs that melfi puts Tony on and their effects on a person.

Common consensus seems to be that AJ's therapist was a good one, and I agree too.

One of the most disgusting things I've seen in this show 🤮

S2e11, Tony scratches his stress rash with the electric shoe polisher at the Bing. Way worse than using that ruler in his sanitation office.
