TV: The Sopranos Discussion Thread

[LightningStrikes]

I felt like that a few years ago. 4-5 years ago actually. Mainly because my tastes have changed so much. The world has changed so much too.

Much like The Wire. A world with tube TV sets, pagers and stone age GPS tracking devices gets less and less relatable.

One thing that made me laugh was when Carmela got those internet CD's in the mail. I totally forgot about those.

Ya.

Or AJ working at blockbuster video. What the hell is a video store and why wouldn’t someone just download or stream?

Last night, I saw someone bring up Lady Gaga had a non-speaking role on the show. I also remember Lin Manuel-Miranda had a small role in the final season.

Any other good 'before they were stars' cameos?

Michael B Jordan was one of the kids that chased young Tony in the flashback he was following his father.

Scorcese, but it wasn't really him.

Michael K Williams aka Omar

was in season 3 when Jackie Jr was hiding. the following year he starts his most famous role of Omar on The Wire

best part...his character is literally the same as Omar. Same demeanor, manner of speaking, deep feeling, intelligence... You could almost say the Sopranos appearance is what Omar was doing when Jimmy sent him to NY

"how the **** you get fired from blockbuster? they've got rhesus monkeys working as managers there!"

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Sopranos great time period piece now.

I wish we heard more about the other New York families instead of just the one all the time

David Lee Roth was playing poker at one of the high roller games once. So I guess that would be an "after they were stars" cameo.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

I forgot that one. Uncle Junior was so funny...

Guy comes home with a bouquet of flowers for his wife.
"I guess I'll have to spread my legs now," she says.
"Why?" he asks. "Don't ya have a vase?"

 

[Epictetus]

I still just watch clips of this show on YT over most shows these days.

Chase has always been known as a bit of a troll...


Just thinking about the prequel movie what would your reaction be if say near the end we got a flash forward implying Tony was alive post series finale.

Would something like that annoy you?

Yes, since he all but said he is dead.

I think he died...but wasn't there an article few years back where he said he lived then quickly took it back?

I heard he did one of those behind the scenes things where it was clear that he died. I admittedly didn't watch myself.

I think he said it was originally written to more strongly imply that he died, but he dialed it back to be purposefully ambiguous and unanswered. One of the actors said that publicly as well.
Is Tony Soprano dead?

 

[NyQuil]

There is so much foreshadowing that he's dead that it makes your head spin.

 

[chicagoskycam]

He's dead and as disappointed as most were when the finale happened, it was a great way to end the show. Didn't need to see Tony get killed in front of his family.

 

[koyvoo]

Well, it may have been an inadvertent slip, but in one of his most recent interviews about the lady scene, Chase literally calls it “the death scene”.

“I think I had that death scene around two years before the end. I remember talking with [Sopranoswriter and executive producer] Mitch Burgess about it. But it wasn’t — it was slightly different,” Chase said.

‘Sopranos’ Creator David Chase Opens Up About Tony’s ‘Death Scene’

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Just thinking how big "don't stop believing" is to that scene.. Makes me wonder what if thry didn't get permission?

Wonder what backup song would be.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

I might be seeing stuff all along but did the color get drained out in the last season? The litigating is a lot more drab almost as if the color pallet was messed with to give it a literally darker feel

 

[PALE PWNR]

Members only jacket guy definitely killed him. Who ordered it though?
