That episode is great.

You got Meadow and her roommate in actual university. Tracee in the "school of hard knocks". Girls who are privileged to a have a safety net in place (Meadow and her roommate) versus Tracee and her upbringing.

Gladiator and Spartacus references. The girls at the Bing are basically a form of gladiator or slave, the stage is a type of coliseum. Tracee is referred to as a "thoroughbred"... which also connects to Pie-Oh-My.

I am reading the book "The Sopranos Sessions" right now. Amazing read if you're a big fan.

Paulie goes to Italy, but still wants his same old pasta and gravy.

"And you thought the Germans were classless pieces of shit."

He's supposedly also in a plane scene at some point. He also plays Old Man Dimeo in The Many Saints of Newark, which I thought was a cool touch.
Yup, I spotted him on a plane in season 6 when Chrissy and Little Carmine went to Hollywood.

There's a gauntlet of like 3 episodes in a row, or maybe 3 in 4 (Employee of the Month, University, and I can't remember) in season 3 that are just soul-crushing.

EDIT: I think the other one was the one with Bobby Sr.

I got through with a rewatch a couple or three months ago. The whole series gets pretty depressing and it culminates in season 6. That scene in Employee of The Month is still too rough to watch. It's one of the only two scenes I fast forward through.

That and "happy birthday Mr. President!"

As despicable as he is, it's still hard not to like Ralphie. I mean, it is a TV progrum. A movie.
Wtf? He was probably the single worst character, I was overjoyed when he got murdered by Tony

Ralphie was a funny fuck and a great character to watch. Loved his time on the show. Might be the biggest scumbag, but I always felt like Richie was the most evil.

It's kind of a trade off. We never see Richie do anything quite as heinous as kill Tracee, but we never see him humanized at all like we saw Ralphie caring for his son. But at least Ralphie had some charisma to him. Richie was just soulless.

Season 6 Tony is up there too for worst person on the show. They really push him over into a irredeemable asshole.Killing Christopher, treating Hesh the way he did, gambling away Vito's family's future.

Yeah by the time you get near the end of season 6, the sins have piled up so high that you just want it to end already. The cold weather in the last couple episodes also looks depressing as s*** (ie. when Tony is meeting Agent Harris in the car). But hot damn the show aged really good.

He was funny as hell and watching him start to change after his son gets hurt is interesting. They're all a bunch of despicable criminals anyway.

It's cool contrasting it to the bright, almost cheery looking first season.

"Don't give me your Manson lamps" is a super great line.

Comparing Richie and Ralph, it's just two different versions of being a psycho. Ralphie can be charming while Richie can be intimidating. Sometimes I think with Richie that while he's an inexcusable psycho, that Tony helped make things worse between the two of them. There are parts where Richie almost seems likeable and charming. Almost.

Always liked how he learned from the Richie problem. Supposedly the thing with Feech was done because Robert Loggia was forgetting his lines. He was originally going to change for the better, which I think would be a nice deviation from Tony having to deal with a disrespectful troublemaker.

Also, I can't believe Albie is right next to Billy/Phil in that scene. I only heard about that not too long ago. It's one of the few Sopranos/Goodfellas crossovers I didn't know about.

Who the heck is Albie?

Another crossover I didn't know until recently was that Tony Lip AKA Carmine Sr. is in at least a couple scenes in Goodfellas. The restaurant intro scene where all the guys are introduced, and later on the card game where Michael Imperioli is serving drinks.
