Pretty sure this dream also alluded Chrissy’s view of Ade: just another who-ah.

One of the first times The Sopranos tells you exactly what kind of show it is comes when Meadow asks Tony a very simple question: “Are you in the Mafia?” Tony doesn’t answer like a criminal who has been caught. He answers like an offended suburban father. He talks about waste management. Italian-American stereotypes. The insult of his own daughter believing such a thing. “There is no Mafia.” It would almost work if Meadow were still a child. But she has lived in that house her entire life. She has seen the money, the visitors and the way certain conversations suddenly stop when she enters a room. She isn’t asking because she needs information. She is giving Tony a chance to stop insulting her intelligence. “Dad, I’ve lived in the house all my life.” That is the line that punctures the whole performance. Tony thinks he has kept his two lives separate. Meadow quietly tells him that the separation never existed. Eventually, he gives her something: “Part of my income comes from legitimate businesses.” A perfect Tony Soprano confession. Not quite a lie, but nowhere near the truth. He admits just enough to feel honest while keeping everything ugly safely unnamed. And Meadow sees exactly what he is doing. The strange part is that Tony almost seems proud of her. She figured him out. She is smart enough to see through the waste-management story and force him closer to the truth than most people ever get. But closer is as far as Tony can go. He wants the intimacy of being an honest father without surrendering the secrecy that keeps him alive as a gangster. He cannot have both. That conflict is already there in the first season. Tony can hide evidence, intimidate witnesses and lie to investigators. But the FBI needs proof. Meadow doesn’t.

Dr. Krakower destroys every excuse Carmela has built for herself She walks in with a lifetime of them and he takes them apart one at a time My priest says I should help him become a better man. How's that going? He's a good man, a good father. You just told me he's a depressed criminal, prone to anger, serially unfaithful. Is that your definition of a good man? She reaches for therapy-speak. Maybe I need to define my boundaries, keep a certain distance, not internalize. What did I just say? Leave him Then the one that always works. I'm not an accomplice, all I do is make sure he has clean clothes in the closet and dinner on the table. Krakower doesn't even argue it. Enabler is a more accurate job description. My apologies "Take only the children, what's left of them, and go" She tries the practicalities. A lawyer, an apartment, child support. He cuts her off. He won't charge her for the session, because he won't take blood money, and neither can she "One thing you can never say is that you haven't been told" Five minutes of screen time. He never appears again. He didn't need to

Tony's version of hell isn't fire. It's his mother During his coma, Tony is trapped in a mysterious dream-world as a man named Kevin Finnerty. He's progressively losing his name, his identity, his memories, and his briefcase before arriving at a glowing house. Tony Blundetto, who we know to be dead, tries to convince him to let go of the briefcase and come inside. A mysterious woman appears on the steps of the Inn We can't be certain the figure is Livia. But we're led to that conclusion because the woman and the setting are so reminiscent of an earlier dream, and Chase all but confirmed that he understood the Dark Woman on the stairs to be Livia Livia did not believe in connections. It wasn't surprising to hear her tell AJ that "in the end, you die in your own arms. It's all a big nothing." For her, life and death were little more than big, meaningless voids. That's the horror waiting inside the house What saves him is Meadow. Her pleas, "Don't go, daddy, we love you," probably more than anything else pull Tony back from whatever precipice he was on. Faced with the choice of following the mysterious woman into the luminous Inn or turning back toward a young girl's voice, Tony chooses the latter. Tony chooses Meadow over Livia

The Sopranos is the show every prestige drama since has been trying to be. Two performances hold it up Gandolfini's Tony is ruthless and pathetic inside the same shot. Falco has the harder job. Carmela has to know and not know at the same time, love him and despise him, and Falco never tells you which one is winning You believe the marriage. The fights, the four seconds of silence before somebody gives in
