I'm getting a lot more out of the first season of THE SOPRANOS this time around than I did when I watched it in the 9th grade.
Don't @ me but...people low-key wanted to fuck Tony Soprano when this show was on, right?
Nine episodes in and I finally spotted a non-silicone breast at the Bada Bing!
(every tweet in this thread is silly because I don't want to say anything significant and get spoiler responses)
Anywaaaay, I have SO MANY thoughts about Tony and Melfi but I'm not about to share them on main.

"Richie had 3rd degree burns from trying to grill that trout with a downed powerline!"
Melfi peeking through Tony's neighbor's bathroom window...
I love the way this show utilizes dreams, and then dreamlike sequences that turn out to be real.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi is everything to me. That's all.
MELFI TALKING TO HER THERAPIST ABOUT HOW SHE SAID TOOTLE-OO TO TONY!!! The books I've read about this show did not prepare me for all these delightful little moments.
There is a very clear 20 year age difference between the actors who play Janice and Richie, yet the show keeps referencing them dating "in high school." Was it when she was in high school and he was a grown man, or do they expect us to think they're the same age? 
When Melfi asked for Tony back as a patient and he immediately told her about illegal shit in more detail than ever before...whew. They're leveling up.
I'd love for this Richie fella to die sooner rather than later.
I think Alicia Witt is really striking and a good actress and I don't get why she usually ends up with only guest spots!
My one and only critique of THE SOPRANOS so far is based on a dream I had about Christopher kissing a dude.
I can't believe The Sopranos' "Funhouse" and Buffy The Vampire Slayer's "Restless" first aired within two months of one another. That must've been a trippy time.
The guy in THE SOPRANOS who owns a restaurant, every moment: I own a restaurant
The episode where Janice steals a woman's prosthetic leg and everyone but Meadow shrugs off Tony's anti-Blackness sure is Something.
I exclaimed aloud multiple times during "Employee of the Month." I'm lucky I didn't go in totally cold, having recognized the episode title from times I've read about the show. I want to say more but I also want to write about this one eventually. Wow. Ouch. Wow.
"It's sad when they go so young."
Why'd it take me most of this season to realize Meadow's roommate is played by Ari Graynor?
Not to be dark on main, but I'm starting to think THE SOPRANOS may not have been the best show to start watching after dipping into a weeks-long depression based on my sudden concrete realization that the rest of my life will consist of everyone I love dying one after another.
"Pine Barrens" ran so that "ronny/lily" could walk.
"I didn't just meet you. I've known you my whole fucking life." That was a LINE 
DELIVERY.
DELIVERY.
I know all time is fake right now but the fact that I more or less started this show JUST SIX DAYS AGO is the fakest time has ever been.
I tried to take a long break from watching THE SOPRANOS between seasons three and four and it lasted...an hour.
Okay, I'm back on my bullshit after forcing myself to take a two day break (I literally wrote "don't watch THE SOPRANOS" on my to-do list) and I'm really digging this list of all the books mentioned in the show: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/93950.Books_appearing_in_The_Sopranos
"What the fuck happened to Gary Cooper, that's what I'd like to know!"
"He died."
"He died."
Is the character of Artie Bucco designed to irritate us every second he's on screen or is that just a me problem?
And just like that, all the love I had in my heart for him evaporated.
The silly way Tony says "vulva" with his accent and also the fact that Tony uses the term vulva at all? Iconic. Incredible, even.

I, a non-mafia person with no general bloodlust, would've kicked the shit out of Ralph Cifaretto ages ago and truly can't believe he continues to draw breathe episode after episode.
Holy hell.
THE SOPRANOS is leaving Prime on May 21st but HBO Max doesn't go live until May 27th...that's gonna be a dark week for me.
I think Paulie's ma has the sweetest little old face and I can't stand to see her sad!
Some things:
1. The back half of season four is definitely my favorite streak of episodes so far
2. I'm not ashamed to say that I teared up when season five opened with the newspaper being run over

The Melfi and Tony scenes in "Two Tonys" made me actually shriek. Anytime they get like this I develop the most giddy-ridiculous energy.
Junior thinking CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is footage from his life...oh my God.
I looked up product placement in this show because 5x04 weirdly feels like an extended car ad, and the article I found, written in 2004, had major spoilers in the first line that were totally unrelated to the subject. 
I really don't appreciate the FBI roasting Adriana and I like this.
I went to watch THE SOPRANOS on Prime and it was gone...tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air.
The pure serotonin shot that accompanies THE SOPRANOS theme song when I haven't heard it in a few days...there's nothing like it.
The joke about an Emmy being worthless at a pawn shop? Incredible.
I suddenly really like Meadow. She's finally grown out of simply reacting against her family. Her seemingly throwaway lines about the Mafia as an extension of a response to corruption in the old country were surprising and I can't stop thinking about them.
It took 61 episodes of THE SOPRANOS for just ONE gay thing to happen. I stand by my original (and only) criticism of the show--it could've been a lil gayer.
I don't think I've tweeted once about Carmella, but please know that I love her deeply and that her scenes make me cry the most.
"It's just that it's so much more interesting."
"Than what?"
"Life."
"Than what?"
"Life."
I have a strict "in bed by 1:30" rule lately, but I also just got to "Long Term Parking." So.
I'm a whole wreck.
I knew the "Long Term Parking" plot from reading up on the show in the past. Still, nothing in this whole series has hit me harder than the seconds-long fantasy of Adriana and her suitcase, with "Leaving California" on the radio, and the cut back to reality. I can't stop crying.
"You know we go back a long time, Ton'." - some guy I've never seen in my life in every season premiere
The C.I. who died mid-sentence while about to spill the beans on Tony?! We don't talk enough about how funny this show can be.
"Join the Club" was really, really hard for me.
I'd love to read about how Chase's use of enigma and transformation in dreams may have influenced Lindelof when he was writing The Leftovers. I'm so grateful to finally have this foundational piece of the pyramid on which modern TV is built.
Dr. Melfi being appropriately helpful and emotionally reserved instead of crying at Tony's bedside...I respect it but it couldn't be me
