the columbus day episode comes to mind, but i can't really think of others.

maybe pine barrens, although that is rightfully considered one of the best.

“christopher” gets a lot of shit and understandably so, but i’m willing to cut it a lot of slack because of how funny the ending is.

for episodes that are the least enjoyable to rewatch, i think i’d go with the dream-heavy one where tony has food poisoning and is fretting about pussy being a rat.

that's an important episode though because his subconscious tells him that pussy is a rat, and he finds out that he's right.

i'm blanking on the end of the CC episode. what was it? i remember them fighting with the prairie niggers at the protest. was that the end?

yeah, i’m not saying it’s filler or even bad, but it draaags on rewatch. even the kevin finnerty episodes are more interesting in themselves.

the end of that episode is when they’re all riding home from the indian casino with tony bitching at them. lots of funny lines but the “take it up with frankie valli!” closer is gold.

pine barrens the russian climbs a tree to hide then steals Paulies car then runs off to god knows where but he had several hours of a head start plus the cash he owed sil and possibly whatever he had at his house if he went back

That episode was entertaining at least. A lot of episodes were just about getting coke IIRC

Paulie was sent like a bitch to do Sil’s collections and started to get resentful after having to deal with the Russian and almost freeze to death. Eventually led to him yakking to Johnny Sack and was the catalyst for the whole war with New York going down. Pauline wound up yapping about the Ralph joke and the hud scams which almost got Johnny and Carmine popped.

Paulie initially got a huge bump in the pecking order bc Tony knew pussy was a rat and didn't trust him. Chris, Ralph, and eventually Bobby started having larger roles and Paulie was being pushed aside. then he finally started blabbing to Johnny once he went to jail for a few months. eventually he realized he was being played by Johnny so he robbed/murdered his mother's friend to get back in Tony's good graces.

NY war really was about Carmine being too chickenshit to tell his idiot son he was too much of a retard to be boss before he died and shit snowballed from there

She took a firm moral stand in not implicitly ordering the murder of the rapist. All while being a Jew racket scam artist who had multiple patients commit suicide on her watch.

They speed rush through a bunch of shit towards the end. Meadow breaking up with Finn, Chris making capo and getting married, Bobby leapfrogging Paulie as underboss and a bunch of other shit.

Also the fbi not going after Gloria, irina; Valentina or even Artie to get at Tony was retarded. They bother making a years long thing to get to Chris though Adriana instead of doing that.

"filler" only makes sense in the context of a potboiler mystery or something. the Sopranos was a drama about Tony who was a vehicle for David Chase's liberal arts commentary on the US and how everything is fake and gay. it had crossgen appeal with Italio-Scumbags so if no one got killed or if Tony didn't fuck some guy's wife they were like "that was lame" iirc.

cr. life is filler. complaint only makes sense if there is a specific destination for the story. which there isn't. it's just the daily grind of being Tony.

It’s ok for a tv show episode to entertain you and tell its own self contained story. Everything doesn’t need to be 1/10 of a movie that advances 1/10 of the season’s plot each episode.
