Chase said he did it, Pantoliano said he was told act as if he hadn't and he believed he hadn't. It doesn't really matter ultimately, but I think he did it.
he did not. watch the scene, tony walks in with a raging hard on for ralphie and is just looking for excuses to snap.
ralphie is all fricked up because his kid is in the hospital, tony is being a prick as usual. ralphie loses his temper, calls tony fat and here comes another murder
chase said this in 2021 to drum up interest for the dumpster fire that was many saints. anything he says is negligible
Ralphie's final episodes uses a lot of lines from the song "Sympathy for the Devil in the script. It's an episode about being able to feel for a character who has been nothing but evil until this point in the series. As much as I think Ralph was upset about his son, I think there's a pretty good chance he burned the stables.

Autism. Imagine overanalyzing a tv show to such extent.
There are, dumb frick.
Ralph to the doctor >Please allow me to introduce myself
Ralph to Father Phil >Pleased to meet you
Father Phil to Ralph >"Were you there when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain?"
Tony also says "have some sympathy" to Paulie when he talks shit about Ralph and his son.
yeah the goat is supposed to represent lucifer there.
they don't literally include one of the more obvious references to satan unless there are nudging you into a direction of what actually happened.

I think the goat can be interpreted two ways, either it represents Ralph committing the arson, or it represents the devil playing a game and convincing Tony that he did.

I feel like it is pretty obvious it is supposed to represent ralph, as he is the only one missing from the scene among the three characters who would be caring about the horse.
If you watch some of the interviews of the actors on the show, they say David Chase liked to have them make up their lines on the spot, to make the show seem more realistic. The Sympathy for the Devil thing was probably an inside joke of anything.
No I think it is pretty clear that he did do it. Contextually, he is one of the craziest characters in the show (which is saying something). This was an easy way to make money. Easy insurance claim. Hundreds of thousands. Tony should have been fine with it considering the business, but as we know, Tony has a hard on for animals.
Amazing episode by the way. I love the stark difference between the first half and the second half. The first half is so dramatic and the second half is cold and dark and lonely.
Ralph's denial would have had more credibility if he hadn't killed the WHOOR. Tony wanted to kill Ralph for that and the lack of empathy for the dead horse was the final confirmation in his mind that Ralph didn't deserve to live.
Ralphie almost talked his way out of it again until he insulted Tony’s weight. If he would’ve kept mentioning his son being in the hospital Tony most likely wouldn’t have killed him then & there
It’s heavily implied that she gave it to Junior. He buried it in his backyard along with his share of the Bohack's haul from the seventies, but he forgot where.
What Junior needed is a brogan adjustment. Paulie learned that doing tree years in the Army Signal Corps. You give him a few smacks on the head with your shoe, you say a few prayers, and that’s that. Frick the hat. Heh heh heh.

Tony was such a shit boss
Tony didn’t listen to Sunta Zoo, the Chinese Prince Matchyavelly. That’s his problem. He shoulda forgotten Pearl Harbor, let it die a death, and ate some Rigatoni a la Tony.

There’s nothing more rewarding to over analyze than sopranos

I think the israelites did it

Neither do I, and it's a neater story if he didn't
A: It was A FRICKING HORSE
B: That wasn't his kid she was carryin
C: He was doin a lot of coke at the time
Ralphie was innocent
Ralph's denial would have had more credibility if he hadn't killed the WHOOR. Tony wanted to kill Ralph for that and the lack of empathy for the dead horse was the final confirmation in his mind that Ralph didn't deserve to live.

Ralphie couldn't resist getting one last insult in even though he knew he was on very thin ice with Tony. A fitting end to his character.
>All this over some dead whowa
SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT CREATURE
What happened to all the money Carmella stole?
She opened like 5 accounts with almost 10k in them each, then they never mention it again.
FROM THE BIRD FEEDER
It’s heavily implied that she gave it to Junior. He buried it in his backyard along with his share of the Bohack's haul from the seventies, but he forgot where.
>It’s heavily implied that she gave it to Junior.
She's literally in the bank opening accounts.
What Junior needed is a brogan adjustment. Paulie learned that doing tree years in the Army Signal Corps. You give him a few smacks on the head with your shoe, you say a few prayers, and that’s that. Frick the hat. Heh heh heh.
he's FRICKIN WIT YOU
I wonder if junior managed to remember the location to give them to bobby's kids
i assume she lost it all in bad investments or some shit because she's not as smart as she thinks she is
speaking of carmella, god I want to sniff her butthole.
bump
>doesnt kill him when he disrespects everyone and acts like a total douchebag and outright threat
>kills him when he's turning his life around and mellowing out into a better and generally loyal capo
Tony was a piece of shit
The only character that turns their life around on the entire show was Hunter. Everyone else is awful. No one should be admired.
What about Patsy he became boss of new jersey

Paulie killed the horse. Ralphie literally did nothing wrong ever
I've always believed Ralphie didn't start the fire.
He didn’t but so what?
