In the ninth episode of season two Tony Soprano is questioned about the
afterlife. His psychiatrist asks him if he thinks he'll go to Hell. His answer
shows that he's convinced he's a good man who's doing good things:
"We're soldiers, you know. Soldiers don't go to Hell. It's war. Soldiers
kill other soldiers. We're in a situation where everybody involved knows the
stakes. And if you're gonna accept those stakes you gotta do certain things.
It's business. We're soldiers. We follow codes. Orders".
Dr. Jennifer Melfi doesn't want to judge him. She's just encouraging him to
judge himself.
She just sits calmly, flashing her legs while observing his reactions.
"The Sopranos" continues showing famous people appearing as themselves. Jon
Favreau is in Brooklyn filming a tragic love story called "Female Suspects".
Christopher Moltisanti visits the set to pitch his script for a gangster
movie. Is that acceptable for someone in his position? Of course not. That's
why he keeps it secret from Tony.
Appearing in Jon's film are Sandra Bernhard and Janeane Garofalo. Are
they famous as well? I confess that I don't know them, but I've included their
photos in case any of their fans are reading my blog.
In the ninth episode we see Tony and his friend Pussy (Salvatore Bonpensiero)
executing a rogue member of his crew. What a horrible nickname for a man!
Can't they just call him Sal? Tony carries out this execution only a few hours
after saying he's going to Heaven.
Tony's wife Carmela is relatively innocent in comparison. She knows what her husband
does, but she remains silent.
Tony's son AJ (Anthony Junior) is a bit of a dope. I can't think of a polite
way to say it. He's 14 years old, but for his age he's definitely lacking in
intelligence and common sense.
But Tony loves his son, and he makes an attempt to bond with him by taking him
for a ride on his yacht.
I'll end with a picture of FBI Agent Harris. If Tony's a soldier, he's a
general in the other army. One day they'll be sitting in Heaven together,
talking about old times.
Oh wait, there's one piece of trivia I need to add.
"The Sopranos" is famous for its music, every episode ending with a song
relevant to the episode. The eighth episode is the first episode in which
there's no music accompanying the final credits. There's only the beeping
of an electrocardiogram.
