The Sopranos 11/17/02 - "The Strong Silent Type"

Just getting tonight's Sopanos thread going. Can't wait to see all of the paranoia inside the NJ mob getting into high gear with the recent disappearance of Ralphie.

Another great episode. Atleast Tony found an easy way to explain Ralphie's death.

Loved the intervention - Sopranos Style!

Tony's got some serious issues when animals are involved. He's definitely more empathetic towards animals than humans.

New York mob - It's Awnnnnn!

Don't like Carmela's new doo. Furio's a dead man or a forever a lonely man.

When Tony finds out what Paulie's done to his portrait with Pie-O-My, it will hit the fan, large and hard.

The intervention was hilarious. I was when they started kicking Chris on the ground.

p.s.: He sat on the dog?!

Paulie's a corpse if Tony sees that painting.

I agree.

I loved Silvio's speech.

"...disgusting. I'm done."



I for sure thought Carm was going to see Furio at the end...what the hell happened?

I had a feeling when Christopher sat on the dog that this was going to be a comedic episode. Christopher and his new friend, "he's good people," the intervention, and Paulie and his foray into high art, made this the funniest episode ever. I thought it was funnier than "Pine Barrens." I am still laughing as I am typing this.

I loved AJ and his attempts to leave Furio's.

So..... are reproductions of the painting up on eBay yet?

And it's been a while since I saw someone sit on a dog!

Good show.

Anyone have any guesses at what we'll see happen next week?

Looks like someone might get it.

Paulie might be in trouble. Whose side will he be on when the war comes with New York?

Carmella's still hot for Furio.

Will Christopher's abuse and dog-killing turn Ade against him?

Looks like Tony's world is falling apart.

(And, yes, the intervention was a riot. Even though I saw it coming -- how else could the intervention have ended?)

I agree Josh, as soon as they started setting it up I didnt think it would last long. Did anybody actually think they were gonna sit around and talk out their feelings?

continuity question--baseball?

One captain dead, one in rehab, one with loyalties to Carmine, one with loyalties to the Boss...

I have a question-- at the beginning of the episode, did the blond Russian say that the alderman was in Florida to watch the Mets in spring training? If so, it doesn't make sense that Paulie would have been watching a 2002 regular season game between the Sox and the Yankees with Napoleon Soprano looking over his shoulder.

Well, he isn't a "kid" really. He was the replacement driver while Furio was gone in the opening of this episode. The character has been around for a few episodes, but this is the first time he's been sort of singled out. I found it kind of odd that HE would be at the intervention though since we've seen so little of him in the main storylines.

I think the conversation between Rosalie and Carmella was the coolest part of this episode. It is one of the 1st times we get to see what the women REALLY talk about - never before have they discussed THEIR version of "goomahs".
