Can someone explain why the frick they had to burn down Artie's restaurant? Why not just tip someone off of the hit? Or even tip Artie off? Who the frick thought of
>we must prevent a killing
>i know! let's prevent it by removing the location
Can someone explain why the frick they had to burn down Artie's restaurant? Why not just tip someone off of the hit?
>tip Artie off
No. He’s not a made guy. He’d be an accessory. And his life would be in danger. Tony couldn’t do that.
>tip someone else off
Junior would know it was Tony.
>He'd be an accessory
how? they could leave a tip saying to close one night or else. threaten him if necessary
>Junior would know it was Tony
as if burning the place down would prevent someone getting whacked at another time?
If Junior knows Tony sabotaged a whacking, as acting boss/boss he could have the right to kill his nephew. It would not be hard to justify in his mind as they were already leveraging power and he eventually did go through with it anyway. It could’ve happened a lot sooner with this however.
jfc you are really moronic. Tony tried to tip him, but his wife was being a c**t. And a fire stops it from happening there. They're not going to wait until the restaurant reopens just to do the hit there, they'll just do the hit the next day wherever the guy is.
season 1 is pretty much non canon
chase is a hack.

Agreed. Anons on here think the first season is kino but it’s a sloppy fricking mess. Introduces great characters but there’s a reason why Chase fired most of the season one writers and took it more seriously once they got picked up
That's pretty much how I felt. Season 1 wasn't super appealing to me at all. Didn't know he fired a ton of the writers lol
Season 1 isn't that bad if you ignore the first 3-4 episodes. There's still some ridiculous shit in there, but it's good enough to be considered canon.
>first 3-4 episodes
the coach episode is episode 9 and it's one of the worst episodes in the entire show.
season 1 is just trash.
Frick you that ending was kino. If you didn't at least find all of Season 1 to be comfy and entertaining I don't even know how you would like the show in the first place.
not that anon, but i do find the entire series comfy but am also comfortable in saying that season 1 is the sloppiest and worst season of them all. still good though
The Vito arc sucked, and Furio shouldn't have been written out
There's literally nothing wrong with this scene.
Season 1 is literally the best season and you're a fricking pleb.
kek you have shit taste. next you're going to say that you genuinely love the pilot.
Pilot was iffy, because it's the fricking pilot, but the season is still the best overall. Cope and seethe.
Because having someone killed in the restaurant would ruin his business and Junior refused to do it anywhere else
That’s just the excuse Tony gives in the series but doesn’t explain the logic of getting around burning down the building
>but doesn’t explain the logic of getting around burning down the building
I guess if you're a moron you would have to have it explicitly explained to you. It was a last resort thing. He didn't want to involve him at all.
it was to save Artie's reputation as a restaurant owner. jesus fricking christ, do you people actually watch the shows you post about? or just watch the clips on youtube?
It was the pilot episode 2 years removed from the actual series give them a break
>Why not just tip someone off of the hit?
"Hey my Uncle plans to have a man murdered, pass it on"
You can discretely have someone not come to a restaurant without burning the place down.
Iirc they burned a restaurant down in 'Goodfellas', so it was an hommage. Since 'The Sopranos' was a television show, it was a story that got to be more fleshed out, since they weren't restricted to a 90 minute format.
If you want to be cynical about it, you can say Chase just ripped it off because he's a piss poor writer and he's as much a hypocrite as the characters he writes about. Commendatore!
Maybe that’s why the first season sucks so much, especially the pilot. Too many homages to Goodfellas. Scorsese claims he’s never seen it nor cares to ever do so
>caring about what scorcese says after 1999
The show is very female. All of it is men talking about their feelings and being inept. It's no wonder it's right up Cinemaphile's alley. It's why AJ is so hated, he can't even commit suicide right. It hits too close to home.
Tony was a father to his family. I liked it when he went outside in his pyjamas to get the paper. Get the paper.
The boiler got fixed.
All of them are a bunch of nancy's. But they kill and only care about themselves.
I don't call in sick for work, because that is taboo. Then I watched 'The Sopranos' and I said 'Hold on, this cool guy gets to call in sick for work, so why shouldn't I?'. Yes, I am that much of a moron.
*fawtha
funny enough, its heavily implied in the show he did 20 years in the can.
They burned the restaurant because it's a Goodfellas reference
Goodfellas reference
was the do wap music, actors, or fricking anything else in the first season enough?
No.
>anything else in the first season
You mean nothing else in the first season outside of the pilot, zoomshit newbie
>doesn't borrow anything from Scorsese in the first season beyond the pilot
fricking moron
Shut the frick up you complete fricking animal.
>tells junior not to do it there
>gifts artie a vacation so he could leave and close it that night but wife doesn't want mob gifts
>as a last resort burns it down so hit can't take place there and can deny he was involved.
it's not rocket science. How much do you need to show to spell it out for you?
Where's the anon who insisted on Artie Bucco's wife having bad breath? Great rack though.
I thought it was bad farts?
was that just a meme on here? i feel like i read it on here so much that i just took it as canon.
season 1 was good. it had prime meadow.
