The Sopranos (HBO) TV Show • Page 78

i know a hit when i see one, and the massive genius episode ain't a hit

 

It’s not a great scene but I’m not hung up on it or anything. I’ve seen the show a few times now and it barely makes an impression on me tbh. My wife never noticed on her first watch. Chase wanted to give an on-screen ending to her character and it came across half-assed. Whatever. It almost has an eerie vibe—like, in her final moments, Livia becomes a parody of herself, and repeats a conversation she’s had many times over with her son.

 

Massive Genius is up there, but Fran Felstein is way worse. A lot of people hate the Christopher Columbus episode, and it definitely isn't subtle, but it is unintentionally hilarious.

 

The thing about the Christopher Columbus episode is i believe it was supposed to be Paulie all up in arms but Tony Sirico was unavailable at the time (i think health issue? i can't remember) so they made it Silvio instead. Silvio seems out of character here and maybe it would have been saved if it was Paulie acting that way instead.

A great what if

 

The Christopher Columbus episode is good

 

love the christopher columbus episode

 

Yeah, I always reach that episode and think afterwards that it’s not as bad as I’d expected.

 

Christopher is the lowest rated episode on IMDb.

 

the Columbus episode, iirc, is when Bobby's wife Karen dies so, pretty important episode overall.

 

Columbus never had the makings of a varsity athlete

 

whateva happened to gary coopah
he died?

 

That last one might be one of my all time favorite episodes.

 

I feel like I am pretty well versed in pop culture, but it is amazing how many you can miss. I am reading through some of the Wikipedia articles for individual episodes and some things I never caught.

 

the disrespect

 

I’m sure he appreciates being appreciated for his current work instead of his legacy

 

I think Murph meant they spelled his name wrong, it’s Spider.

 

My mom does this with Swiss people. It’s funny.

 

Four episodes into the Sopranos, safe to say I’m addicted and don’t know why I waited this long to watch it.

 

Best show ever

 

Just came in the mail.

 

Hell yeah wife and I just finished it last year, enjoy the run

 

That goes so fucking hard
