The Second Coming has my favorite ending: Tony visiting his son in the hospital with a pizza which he has to leave at the front desk. He walks through the doors and greets his son as sappy, Godfather-esque Italian music plays over the credits.

I think if I had to pick just one episode as my absolute favorite it'd be "Sopranos Home Movies."

Whenever Carmela or any of the other women talked about him always got a chuckle out of me. The possibilities for double entendres were endless.

Ralphie always stuck with me as the worst person the show ever created in a series chock full of them. He was the perfect combination of sleazy charm barely covering a pitch black soul—truly devil-like.

The Fight
I'm glad you mentioned Ralphie going right for the knife. It's like something clicked in his head right away that Tony was going to kill him and it was going to be a fight to the death. What would Ralphie's choices have been had he killed Tony?

When Tony first heard the phrase "pie-in-the-sky" he went and joined the 82nd airborne.

Yeah, I really enjoyed his short story collection but just don't feel his writing translates well to novel form. I couldn't get past the halfway point of Homeland.

"Waaa I'm Neckbeard and hate when other people speak naturally and not like an overeducated and insufferable cranky pants like meeee WAAAA."

True
I worked with this asshole who would stream all of Apple's press conferences live and refer to Steve Jobs as "Steve" like they were buds and he had all the insider information. This clown even considered taking out a credit card solely for purchasing an iPad just to complete the trifecta (he already had an iPhone

"Swag? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NO! WHY!?"

Amateur Hour?
Linden and Holder are giving a workshop on how to royally fuck up a murder investigation. It's almost comical how badly they've played just about every card they've been dealt topped off with stringing the victim's family along with half-true/reassuring updates on the investigation. Not only is it highly

I really liked the use of that Julee Cruise song when Kyle McLachlan and Laura Dern are slow dancing in Blue Velvet. The whole scene emits some kind of transcendent beauty that's tough to explain.

Hey that's my personal favorite music moment in he Sopranos as well, Jorge!

Margot Tenenabum getting off the bus to Nico's "These Days" is all kinds of beautiful.

Biggest Laugh of the Night
No question: that first shot of Ron sitting out in the open in his centralized circle desk. Arms folded. Frown for the ages.

Thassssa big twankyyyyy

Slow down, chew your food.

Great Timing
Last night I got cocked on a bottle of gin and thought it'd be a good idea to pop in Ghostbusters for some late night entertainment. Lord was it ever.
