I didn’t know it was coming this Friday. Thought it was a while away. Not even halfway through the first series so we won’t be watching that for a long time.

The website Meadow shows AJ to tell her Tony is in the mafia (the whaaaaa?) www.megamob.com is up for grabs if anyone wants to buy it with me.

Got the remote for my telly so it’s rewatch time!

I've somehow come to nearly the end of Series 3 in maybe record time for me.

Not going to say anything new, still the best, Ralphy is still the biggest piece of shit in the whole thing, Noah the "hasidic homeboy" himself is still possibly the worst character, and it's still the funniest show ever.

"This sounds very gay" makes me die every time.

The best bit of the whole Noah thing is when Tony momentarily turns into a rapper.

Tomko, gimme a beat…

You were right about Livia on the second run around. I’m laughing at everything she says this time. She’s just set her house on fire.

”Ma how many times do I gotta tell you that’s not an operator it’s an answering machine”
”oh faaancy faaancy”.

When Furio is having the bullet removed "While he's here maybe he can give you a bulge" ?

Then Chris tells Tony he loves him ?

That relationship breaks my heart.

There’s a four episode stretch during the end of season 2, start of season 3 where you lose Richie Aprile, Big Pussy and you get CGI Livia Soprano and it makes you realise how great the show is at introducing new characters or pushing old ones. 3 mains gone in the blink of an eye and it doesn’t effect the quality at all.

Controversial opinion from my second viewing. Could do without the Melfi rape.

One of The Sopranos accounts ran a poll on this scene the other day, and one of the options was "Too short"

Oooooof madon!!!

Pretty sure we discussed this earlier in the thread.

It's a horrendous scene and very hard to watch but I think it's absolutely essential to the overarching theme of the entire show.

We did and first time around I was of the same opinion I think. Even now I understand the reasoning for it but watching it without the first time shock value I’m seeing it more neutrally and I could do without it.

But isn't the fact that it cuts through all the relentless horrible people doing horrible things and had the capacity to shock you part of what gives it the weight it carries in the narrative?
