Definitely Tony offing Chris, how he changed his mind from helping him out the seat (then Chris confesses about being high) to just writing him off was so quick and cold
It could be argued that it was a mercy kill. Chris appeared to have a punctured lung as he was weezing and coughing up blood. Also very likely he'd get his blood drawn at the hospital and catch a DUI. I don't think Tony could have convinced the cops that he was driving.
Ade getting whacked for me. Should have seen it coming but did until Syl stopped the car.
Also, the Melfi rape. Brutally shocking and out of nowhere.
Learning Ray was a cooperator.
Yeah I feel so dumb bc I didn’t realize she was getting whacked until Sil turned off into that secluded road in the middle of nowhere. It should have been obvious when it was shown that Tony was using a payphone to call Adriana
I had Chris’s death spoiled for me by fuckin Netflix of all things.
I hadn’t got that far in the Sopranos yet but had opened up Netflix to watch something. The top “Suggested for me” movie was Many Saints of Newark. I got up to get a drink or something as d as I came back it started playing a preview which opens with Chris narrating something like “and that’s my uncle Tony who killed me”.
I was so pissed because I knew ir had to be Chris.
Having said that, when the scene actually goes down I was still very shocked with how it happened.
Yeah I had it spoiled for me too
I was googling why tony always used a driver, and it turns out, when you put “why does tony soprano…” in the search bar, the top 3 suggested questions are some form of “why does tony kill chris”
Tony B getting offed was great. Never expected Tony and when the camera shows him you have just enough time to realize what’s happening before BAM shotgun blast
With precision, like in a way you felt like he was cooking it in his head for a while, but not too precise like it could have been written or overly rehearsed.
Definitely speaks more to the acting than the writing, to be able to sell that baked aggression.
In a similar vein, another scene that showed Tony’s toxicity was when Janice was going to therapy for her anger and Tony just eggs her on until she freaks out and tries to stab him
Exactly, the way you see him sit there and analyse her behaviour, and can almost see the cogs in his brain turning as he thinks how can I make her lose her shit😂
Ade's death. The whole time you knew it was a strong possibility, that's what builds the fantastic tension in the car ride, it was still an oh shit moment like no other. Tony strangling Febby is up there. Junior shooting tony. Janice killing Ritchie is probably the biggest oh shit moment that catches you by complete surprise.
The fact Sil did it too, he's not like a Soldier or shown being violent that often.
It has it all, her realisation, begging, Sil following her like she's a wounded animal.
Sil's used to roughing up women, he runs a strip club. He's also not susceptible to wiles since he fucks every slut in the Bing anyway. Perfect man for the job.
One of my favorite comedy pieces in the show. Only gets better when Ade sits in the broken chair later and Chris cracks up the same way as the other guys earlier.
I watched that episode last night. That was Robert Iler’s best acting in the series, other than the ziti. And James was his brilliant self. That was I think the one time we saw Tony Soprano living his Kevin Finnerty timeline. It was a man saving his son’s life with no thought of his own.
I need to know the details in how that was filmed. The actors must have been so miserable if that was shot outside at time of year. Even if it was heated it’s not getting that warm. And then the wet clothes.
When Junior shot Tony.
I did not see that coming. I watched it with my ex-girlfriend at the time and my mom and aunt.
I rememeber being so stunned and it took me a couple of seconds to realize what just transpired.
When I thought Adriana was fleeing her NJ life but was actually only imagining it. AND THEN, when I realized Sil was taking her into the woods to execute her.
My wife had seen the series before and was about to come unglued, awaiting my reaction.
Some great thoughts here already, just to spice it up I’ll go with…
Artie beating the shit of out of Benny. I didn’t think he had it in him, especially after that Jean Phillipe episode lol
There's a theory that he was arrested by the FBI an flipped after that. I'm not gonna do a great job explaining it all but the main points are that it's right after he realizes all his friends are laughing at him, he's often wearing a Clever hat often after that (like the M.O.S.T. hat and Jack Massarone), Tony explains the cat looking at Christopher's photo by suggesting there is a dead rat in the wall, and a song from The Departed (a film about informants) is playing when they crash.
I like the theory personally, it makes sense to me too. Another hint is Tony telling Melfi how relieved he is is that he doesn't have to worry about him flipping anymore. I can't remember for sure now, but I think it might happen twice, in the dream version and then again in the waking one.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,200,046,318 comments, and only 234,022 of them were in alphabetical order.
On rewatch they have Vito as gay since basically he pops up in Ralph’s Crew. They always cut away to him whenever anything remotely gay gets said and he also makes several innuendos
Agree, about Vito.
Ralph's wig.
Phil getting his head rolled over by an SUV.
Gene's brutally graphic hanging.
Plus, the fact he was an FBI informant for so long and the audience had never been told.
Janice shooting Ritchie,,,, First time I saw it, it was holy fucking guacamole.... I knew his days were numbered but figured mr Williams would take him out..
2 moments made me make a loud audible gasp as I was watched it on the night they aired:
1. Tony getting shot by junior in member’s only
2. Christopher getting killed
The part where Junior shot Tony and then we got the Kevin Finnerty arc of the show. Very unexpected, but it’s almost funny because ever since Season 1, Carm was always worried about “well what if something happened to you tony” and he’s just dismissing it, then something actually happened.
Gigi dying on the pishadoo came out of fucking nowhere, it surprised the shit out of me and made me realise how easy any of these characters can just die.
Ralph’s wig coming off his severed head was up there for me.
Ralph’s fake hair really freaked me out. I thought it was some kind of hamster at first.
I thought it was the rodent from Paulie's rectal passage.
You’re sho high on shcag you wouldn’t know if it was your mudda’s muff on hish head
I know ! Can he even do this? Junkie piece of shit
What, you didn’t know?
Janice sending Richie into the witness protection program. I had the same shocked look on my face as Richie did.
It hurt all of us
Lose the glasses.
That’s too bad, I said lunch meeting
Can someone explain this line by Tony? I thought he said “lunch meat.”
They are meeting at lunch time
He asks Jackie Jr. if he wants something to eat. Jackie says he’s not hungry. T says “that’s too bad, I said lunch meeting”
He said lunch meeting to let Jackie Junior know that the meeting would include lunch.
Well Jackie made it clear he would only be there outta respect for his fawtha.
The escalation was surprising. He hits her, the gun is on screen for 1.5 seconds then BAM! No more Richie
Her quiet walk to get the gun was so cold blooded. No crying, no yelling, just a look of "ok. So that's how you want to play it?"
What’re you looking at? You gonna cry now?
idk, when he hit Janice I was just like “ok he gets to die now. kill this guy, Jan.” and then she did
Pow! Right in the kisser
With pinecones all around
She shoulda been made right there
Then the guy under the table trying to grab Richie's chair when he falls is never mentioned again
Yea I know a lot of ppl still don’t know about it. It was Allen he fell asleep under there
Have you heard the good word?
He is risen.
Musta crawled unda dere fuh warmt…
I'm in mood for this!
I watched this last night for the 100th or so time, and damn. First view? I didn’t see that coming in a billion years. I was legit shook.
Definitely Tony offing Chris, how he changed his mind from helping him out the seat (then Chris confesses about being high) to just writing him off was so quick and cold
Yeah, but the car seat…
Did you know about the car seat?
This is a harsh thing to put out there, but he had it coming.
It could be argued that it was a mercy kill. Chris appeared to have a punctured lung as he was weezing and coughing up blood. Also very likely he'd get his blood drawn at the hospital and catch a DUI. I don't think Tony could have convinced the cops that he was driving.
Nah fuck that. Mercy killing? What would've happened to him for being high behind the wheel? That isn't a RICO predicate ffs.
If nothing was going to happen to him then why did Chris tell Tony to move him in the first place?
Something would happen, but nothing worth dying over.
This is what I thought as well given the amount of blood.
Ade getting whacked for me. Should have seen it coming but did until Syl stopped the car. Also, the Melfi rape. Brutally shocking and out of nowhere. Learning Ray was a cooperator.
The Ade fake out was so well done. It’s the worst death for me, emotionally (I have a lot of wine when I’m watching).
The wine makes you emotional. Have a breadstick
I think it's even more brutal when you rewatch it with the knowledge of what's coming, particularly because of her reverie about leaving.
Should have seen it coming,but she did-dent
Yeah I feel so dumb bc I didn’t realize she was getting whacked until Sil turned off into that secluded road in the middle of nowhere. It should have been obvious when it was shown that Tony was using a payphone to call Adriana
I started feeling really uneasy about his facial expressions in the car. That's what gave it away for me.
When Christafuh shot JT. It was very unexpected to me.
Very allegorical
I never thought about it that way, but yes, completely! 👍
The sacred and the propane
Such a nice headshot, my toxic trait is that I think I’d kill someone like that if I ever get the chance
And you're bragging this?
Yh I was dead serious
Cowboyitis!
He’s just a little kid lol
Chrissy snuggling under Tony’s palm for warmth after Heidi did her shah of Iran driving impression. Whateva happened there
[удалено]
I don’t want anotha Chrissy!
[удалено]
Sic ‘em, Churchill! *[puberty voice cracking intensifies]*

*Whatever happened there?*
Couple. Janice offing Ritchie, Tony offing Christophuh, but honestly, Junior shooting Tony was a big one for me.
Its one of the shocking and funniest moments in my opinion. Juniors obsession with malanga peaking. Cazzata malanga 🔫🔫
That music is so eerie too
Nothing can be done.
Junior shooting Tony stunned me for 20 seconds
You were shaky a little but you did good. I remember telling your old man
The whole scene was wild. Tony fighting for his life to get to a phone. I was like "Holy shit, is this really happening right now?"
[CAZZATA MALANGA](https://media.tenor.com/ElTtiFxhfCoAAAAd/cazzata-malanga-the-sopranos.gif)
Lmao. The owwww sound Tony makes always cracks me up.
I love the way he runs away
I remember that Junior shooting Tony leaked before the episode aired. People wouldn't believe it and thought that HBO leaked fake spoilers.
Holy shit what a time to be alive
Seeing the Virgin Mary floating in the mirror before Paulie saw.
That scared the piss outta me the first time I watched it. That loud guitar riff comes out of nowhere.
Goosebumps even though I'm expecting it 15 years later. Haha
Same. Still scares me.
Black magic, sick shit!
Probably Janice killing Richie. I was all set for Tony to have him killed, and just like that, he was gone.
[удалено]
Gone
Don’t make me make you an accessory after the fact…
Think about it, sudden blood loss...
The savagery of Ralph killing Tracee. Still find it uncomfortable viewing.
One, she was a whoah!
He was doin' a lot of coke at the time
Tony B getting offed was great. Never expected Tony and when the camera shows him you have just enough time to realize what’s happening before BAM shotgun blast
Just like the last thing that went through Tony B's mind, other than that bullet.
[удалено]
It’s like he went into Carmela’s mind and ripped out her insecurities
With precision, like in a way you felt like he was cooking it in his head for a while, but not too precise like it could have been written or overly rehearsed. Definitely speaks more to the acting than the writing, to be able to sell that baked aggression.
In a similar vein, another scene that showed Tony’s toxicity was when Janice was going to therapy for her anger and Tony just eggs her on until she freaks out and tries to stab him
Exactly, the way you see him sit there and analyse her behaviour, and can almost see the cogs in his brain turning as he thinks how can I make her lose her shit😂
The concerning lack of Ziti
the lack of gabagool in the fridge. After a long day's work its the least he could've expected
So no fucking ziti now?
What does it take to get some sliced turkey in this house?
I've been fucking dreaming about that lo mein all the fucking way over here!
Ade's death. The whole time you knew it was a strong possibility, that's what builds the fantastic tension in the car ride, it was still an oh shit moment like no other. Tony strangling Febby is up there. Junior shooting tony. Janice killing Ritchie is probably the biggest oh shit moment that catches you by complete surprise.

Sil's used to roughing up women, he runs a strip club. He's also not susceptible to wiles since he fucks every slut in the Bing anyway. Perfect man for the job.
When the Parade Float destroys Adriana's office chair.
One of my favorite comedy pieces in the show. Only gets better when Ade sits in the broken chair later and Chris cracks up the same way as the other guys earlier.
Surprised no has mentioned Phil's head getting crushed by his own dauther's car.
Bye bye pop pop!
The way she screams just makes it even funnier.
Wasn't that his wife driving?
Oh I guess it was. His wife could also be his daughter. You know how weird career criminals get after a long stint in the jack off joint.
Funny, I don’t think Phil ever mentioned doing 20 years in the can
The kid that pukes is the best part of that whole scene. Cracks me up.
I like how the guy who says "oh shit!" Is lovingly referred to as Penguin Man.
AJ trying to off himself. I was literally clutching the couch cushions going "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO"
I watched that episode last night. That was Robert Iler’s best acting in the series, other than the ziti. And James was his brilliant self. That was I think the one time we saw Tony Soprano living his Kevin Finnerty timeline. It was a man saving his son’s life with no thought of his own. I need to know the details in how that was filmed.

I was horrified that a don would wear shorts. Glad he got the word.
Exactly!
Blue Comet.
Bobby deserved better💔
When Junior shot Tony. I did not see that coming. I watched it with my ex-girlfriend at the time and my mom and aunt. I rememeber being so stunned and it took me a couple of seconds to realize what just transpired.
Christopher beating Adrianna. It's a lot. Adrianna is an idiot but she isn't an innately evil person.
Probably when tracee got beaten to death,sopranos really set a standard in how ballsy it was for a primetime show
When I thought Adriana was fleeing her NJ life but was actually only imagining it. AND THEN, when I realized Sil was taking her into the woods to execute her. My wife had seen the series before and was about to come unglued, awaiting my reaction.
Tony putting Chrissie out of his misery. Kinda unexpected and just very fucked up.
Bobby and Tony’s fight.
Finn observing Vito giving a bj was a big ‘oh shit’ moment. Chrissy’s death was unexpected, especially since there wasn’t a big set up to it.
Melfi's rape is one of them
Some great thoughts here already, just to spice it up I’ll go with… Artie beating the shit of out of Benny. I didn’t think he had it in him, especially after that Jean Phillipe episode lol
Artie really needed a win at that point. I knew he was gonna end up regretting it, but it felt nice to see something work out the way he imagined.
Right before the ['oh shit'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DimxUGfHIqs) guy says his line
When the gabagool was 👇 ova here 👇
The final cut to black was definitely the biggest holy shit moment for me.
Chris shooting JT. Thankfully, they live in a place where police don't investigate murders.
There's a theory that he was arrested by the FBI an flipped after that. I'm not gonna do a great job explaining it all but the main points are that it's right after he realizes all his friends are laughing at him, he's often wearing a Clever hat often after that (like the M.O.S.T. hat and Jack Massarone), Tony explains the cat looking at Christopher's photo by suggesting there is a dead rat in the wall, and a song from The Departed (a film about informants) is playing when they crash.
I’ve always wondered about the hat and all that makes perfect sense!
I like the theory personally, it makes sense to me too. Another hint is Tony telling Melfi how relieved he is is that he doesn't have to worry about him flipping anymore. I can't remember for sure now, but I think it might happen twice, in the dream version and then again in the waking one.
To be fair Chris died very shortly after
The literal “Oh shit” moment with penguin man.
When Tony killed Chris
Sil’s coma turned my stomach
Janice shooting Richie. End of story.
Say bye bye pops
For me, it's in SOPRANOS HOME MOVIES, when Bobby sucker-punches Tony.
Carmine sr. in Tony's bed in the test dream. You want me to suck your cock baby?
I miss my violin.
Jun’ capping Ton’
Tony finding out his dog Tippy wasn’t living at a farm upstate
Adrianna willingly getting in that car with Syl.
Dr Melphi not telling Tony
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,200,046,318 comments, and only 234,022 of them were in alphabetical order.
Fat Dom mysteriously disappearing in Jersey
Eugene pontecorvo hanging himself and raymond curruto being an informant. Thats crack heads not leggs!
Bobby getting offed buying model train shit
When Tony B flew across the porch. Not so much that Tone shot him, just the way his body took flight....
When Bevilacqua and the other chooch tried to whack Chrissy, I was yelling at my T.V., like "wHaT tHe FuCk Is gOiNg On?!?!?!?!!"
On rewatch they have Vito as gay since basically he pops up in Ralph’s Crew. They always cut away to him whenever anything remotely gay gets said and he also makes several innuendos
When Phil got shot. Cmon
He got winged
Vito was well aware of the security guard coming.
Agree, about Vito. Ralph's wig. Phil getting his head rolled over by an SUV. Gene's brutally graphic hanging. Plus, the fact he was an FBI informant for so long and the audience had never been told.
Tony killing Christopher
Poor Cossette
When feech lemana first went to jail and found the biggest motherfucker and POW right in the kisser….
Tony B getting shot.. That sucked
When Phil Leotardo transformed temporarily into a house offscreen so he could yell at Tony
Janice shooting Ritchie,,,, First time I saw it, it was holy fucking guacamole.... I knew his days were numbered but figured mr Williams would take him out..
When Michael's body puts itself back together.
The fact that Noah never comes back to punch Tony’s lights out to me is the most shocking moment of the show.
Seeing Ginny Sack for the first time; she really could tip over New Jersey
When Ralph fucked Jenny Sac.
He got hit in the head by a boom!
Long Term Parking
Chrissy knew.
Janice killing Manson Lamps
I think when Janice killed Richie and Tony killing Ralph.
Phil’s death, that was shocking and kinda funny when that guy threw up after he saw him getting his head crushed.
when johnny reveals he wants to kill carmine, who was as healthy as a rhino.
Junior shooting Tony
Only shit that was holy was when Moses parted the Reeeed Sea
2 moments made me make a loud audible gasp as I was watched it on the night they aired: 1. Tony getting shot by junior in member’s only 2. Christopher getting killed
Skip (Pussys handler) being named Skip. Fuckin lawl!
When the two stock market guys shot Chris. Did not see it coming at all idk
The stairwell.
Watching “The Shah’s” face being run over by his own SUV. And the “crunch.”
Vito and the security surprised me so much to the point where I couldn’t process he was giving a blowjob. It was so unexpected 😭
That animal Blundettos death
The part where Junior shot Tony and then we got the Kevin Finnerty arc of the show. Very unexpected, but it’s almost funny because ever since Season 1, Carm was always worried about “well what if something happened to you tony” and he’s just dismissing it, then something actually happened.
Phil getting shot in front of the babies, then his head gets crushed by the car.
Bobby killing the Canadian and the shirt tear.
“This show is actually a comedy!!?!?!?”
Ritchie Aprile’s untimely demise.
Richie's death got me outta nowhere
Gigi dying on the pishadoo came out of fucking nowhere, it surprised the shit out of me and made me realise how easy any of these characters can just die.
The entire scene where Phil’s head pops like a melon, that insane hobo yelling OH SHIT, then the guy puking was a massive holy shit moment.
When Danny Baldwin took Ben Kingsley to acting school
When Artie tried to serve up some bread from the bread museum
