the audience gets wasted.

Because it was FINALLY over!

I had no idea what he was talking about when he described lying on the floor all day being kicked by Bobby and Joe.
His girlfriend Cathy was my boss, and she always complained about him being "just an actor". LOL, I believe they are still together, saw her on TV with him at the end of the Sopranos party.

When Tony killed Ralphie or when Tony killed Christopher.

I really hated both those characters.

I hated him because he killed the beautiful race horse.

The very last scene when Tony asks Melfi what's wrong, is there something you want to say to me? And she is so hurt, so tempted, so touched by his concern, so conflicted. I think the whole world was on their edge of their seats, thinking "Tell him! Tell him!" And then she says "No." What a powerful scene.

as Farina bursts into Travolta's office behind the barber shop.

The bullet just barely grazes Farina'a forehead, and he runs back through the barber shop shouting:
"Someone call 9111...Someone call 9111"

So many good scenes and quotes.

"Best of my knowledge, e.g. means for example."

Be Cool, lesser so, but it has it's moments too.

I really regret Elmore Leonard wasn't able to crank out another dozen Chili Palmer novels before he died.

Great show.

Fine acting from Edie Falco.

Gandolfini and Falco were so very, very good together.

he did with Richie's body (and when Janice shot Richie, that was a true Holy crap! moment) - and Tony says on a hill, under a tree, or something like that, and Janice believes him.

I actually enjoyed that scene where Janice shoots Richie

and then dumps the body somewhere so nobody will find it.

so they couldn't ever be identified.

end a great series.

when the Soprano family are eating onion rings at the little restaurant, that one guy at the counter looks over at them, gets up, and heads to the rest room, like Al Pacino did in The Godfather, and it leaves the viewer wondering if Tony is about to finally get whacked.

I think "T" went a little too far that time.

... then beat the crap out of him.

"Pine Barrens." That was directed, by the way, by Steve Buscemi.

My favorite scene, also from Season 3, is the scene in "Mr. Ruggero's Neighborhood" where the FBI is trying to tap Tony's place. It's set musically to a really neat mix of "Every Breath You Take" and "Peter Gunn," and is hilarious as they try to get into the house while none of the Sopranos are home.

Steve Buscemi is a very talented guy..I didn't know he directed that episode.

The family had just put her in a nursing home and as she's on the phone with someone we hear her say, "WHAT?! They told me DNR meant salt-free diet!"

I just thought that was so funny, and Nancy Marchand was great in that role. That episode where Tony realizes his mom has set him up for a hit, and he catches her smiling as she's been taken away on a stretcher after her (fake?) stroke -- that whole thing was chilling.

I can't believe I missed that comment by Tony's mom, since I've probably seen every episode at least a dozen times.

You're right..Nancy Marchand was great in that role.

It's hard to believe that she's the same actress who. nearly 40 years ago, played Ed Asner's boss,
(Mrs Pynchon?) on The Lou Grant Show.

Doesn't he get away? I don't remember ever hearing of him again. (Then again, I don't remember specifics about movies or TV shows.)

Okay, my favorite is when the FBI has Drea de Metteo's character in for questioning and she 's so scared, she vomits all over the table.

Paulie shoots him while chasing him in the snow, and it looks like he got him in the head,
yet when Paulie & Christopher get to the spot where he was hit, he wasn't there, although there were some blood spots in the snow.

He was "tough as nails" that guy, and could have survived a head shot, (I guess)

The other Russian guy told Tony that the guy used to work for the Russian Interior Ministry and once killed 16 Chechen rebels, which Tony relayed to Paulie via cell phone.
However, the cell phone reception wasn't very good out in the Pine Barrens, and Paulie told Christopher that the Russian guy was an interior decorator who killed 16 Czechoslovakians

and then roast marshmallows over her still smoking corpse.

What? That didn't happen?

Well it should have.

So hard to mention a scene out of it.

The scene where Paulie takes his mom and her friends out to dinner and goes nuts over the Parker House rolls.

since "Don't Stop Believin'" is the unofficial anthem of the world champion San Francisco Giants.

But Steve Perry is a tenor, not a soprano.

His phone prank on Paulie's mother was hilarious, but other than that I hated him - especially when he killed that girl outside the Bing.
