Word to the wise: remember Pearl Harbor

loving Paulie haha

watching this for the first time, this episode is so sad :( I'm sure Tony arranged for Buscemi to get that money to lure him back into the mob, this is so tragic.

Wait, seriously? I totally did not make that connection

I haven't watched the rest of the series yet, but to me it is too big a coincidence that someone happens to drop a bag full of cash right into the lap of an ex-mobster.

Ade... :(

"loving oval office" man, Silvio is like the nicest of the bunch on the surface but he's actually cold as gently caress.

Plus she had an IBD like me (or was it an IBS she had?)

Vito went from a background character of sort to one of my favorite characters, very interesting plotline, I feel terrible for him, but he's also shown he was cold blooded murdered many times, so eh.

Man, what a way to go, Chris. This last half season feels weird because Chrissy went out before things started to heat up between Tony and Phil (I'm guessing this is how poo poo is going to go down, I haven't seen it yet).

He pretty much out on a whimper, not a bang, but I don't mean that in a negative way, to me it reflects his status as a fuckup in Tony's eyes, he had so much promise but wasted it all.

Thought my dvd player crashed or something at the end eh.

I can see how the ending was controversial, I'm not sure what to make of it right away, but I'm not disappointed.

I'm a bit disappointed AJ and Meadow's storylines took up so much time in the final episodes, those always were the least interesting bits to me.

The episode is Vegas. It was a CSI homage or something to celebrate the end of the Stargate series.

That's kind of weird, but pretty cool. :v:

It was partially the way they referred to the food using that pseudo-Italian Jersey terminology. Gabagool and Rigot just sound really really good.

But yea I'm getting an image of Tony shoveling ziti into his mouth and its making me hungry right now.

Maybe this is because my mom's side is all NYC Italian-Americans (and said stuff like moozadell), but I never took those pronunciations as being a sign of uneducated, just part of the hybrid American-Italian language mashup that happened in NY after the huge wave of Italian immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

So yeah, Italians wouldn't say "rigot" for ricotta, but second-gen Italian immigrants in NY would.



It's funny because it kind of sounded like a Corsican accent to me. We often skip the last vowel and "k" sounds are sometimes pronounced with a "g" sound.

Though maybe I'm the French equivalent of a Jersey Italian :v: I could definitely see some parallel with the Corsican/Italian idealization.

I guess we know how Lithuania feels about the show, they've put a 5 meter tall statue of Tony at a train station in Vilnius.
