Paulie is out of prison. Immediately he starts complaining to Tony about money. Be patient. Ease back into things.
Sometimes innocent comments have repercussions beyond your intentions. Know your audience when telling stories about others. Unless you want to be an unwitting accomplice.
Songs can be powerful reminders. While in the locker room setting up the housing fraud that was inspired by Carmella's cousin's story the politician he is in cahoots with tells him that he is seeing Tony's ex-girlfriend, Irina. Just then the song, " I'd be in trouble if you left me now" by the Chi-Lites plays. You can tell it floods back memories. Tony mainly has an issue with possession. If he doesn't have her no one should. Even though it was his idea to let her go. His only response to jealous is, of course, violence. He emasculates the politican in front of Irina by beating him with his belt.
Sometimes it's difficult to see people as they are. For example, Tony's inability to see Christopher's downward spiral of drug use. He's too close to Christopher and is not thinking clearly of the signs in front of him.
You can't believe what you hear on television. Adrianna mistakenly thinks, since she saw it on T.V. that if she marries Christopher she can't testify against him.
Sometimes people start out with good intentions but in the end are just let down.
It's interesting as I've seen through Season 4 at least three times that my general feeling is the Sopranos gets weaker and less focused as it moves into the later seasons. My observations about wisdom are starting to dry up a bit. Not sure at this point if that is a trend or not. We'll have to see. As I get into the last two seasons I only watched those once. When they were on television the first time. I never wanted to revisit those seasons. I felt that the show had ran it's course and like most shows that are nearing the end added way too many new characters.
