I just love how Junior and Livia talk past eachother. I’ve seen family members do that same thing, both talking to eachother but having completely different conversations 😂. Can’t tell if it’s narcissism or just senility.
The show does an excellent job of keeping the dialogue vague and subtle enough that you could reasonably construe it either way or even say both. But in reality, if we’re being honest about how human beings work, it’s always really been the first one.
Another example of great writing. I remember hearing David Chase say that everyone in the show is especially lying and saying the opposite of what they mean. That's a perfect example
The worst part is had her plan suceeded she would've most likely cried harder than anyone at the funeral and gone on to everyone she knew about how much she loved her son and how everything's been taken from her.
She is so good. Its a shame that, as excellent as The Sopranos was, we were robbed of the planned 3rd season where Livia would testify against Tony. What an epic series that would have been.
Doubt it, they did it with lesser characters but nobody major... like they replaced Barbara (Tony's sister) but she only had a few minutes of screen time. @@masterknife8423
“What the F do we do now, Livia?” “We go see him” - what a class act. Forget about Tony or Uncle June, they should’ve made Livia the boss, no other family would stand a chance after that, she puts Michael Corleone to shame, with her being so Machiavellian, shrewd, conniving, downright evil behind that facade of helpless old lady, she would have no issues running the world, let alone the mob.
The part where she slips herself out of the attempt on Tony by forgetting (or pretending to) about Meadow is the perfect opportunity for her character and her ways
Nancy Marchand (the actress who plays Livia Soprano) had an amazing career! She did such a great job with this character, absolutely incredible acting. She won 4 Emmy Awards for her role on the show “Lou Grant”. Sadly she died in June of 2000, just over a year and a half after show premiered. Who knows what would’ve happened to her role in Sopranos if she wasn’t sick and didn’t have cancer. RIP to an incredible actress who put her all into her work.
Seeing this compilation is so dark and creepy, everything she does and say is so meticulously calculated always trying to be "neutral" but being able to manipulate everyone to what she really wants, and tony only began to hate her as an adult because he was led buy her that she was an sad lonely lady. That woman is a genius.
I'd like to think that she would not have gone through with the actual testimony and continue to feign mental illness and dementia. All she'd have to say that her son needs to get a new baseball glove for his little league team and then yell at the feds to leave her husband alone from their "persecution." And, in Junior's fashion, through in a few good lines about how much she loves President Kennedy! She love to just screw with the FBI for her own amusement. There's no way the FBI would put her on the stand after she would have (likely) done something like that.
“Junior’s very busy these days with his headaches.” that’s some low-key shade right there. As much as everyone hates on Livia, and rightfully so, she’s still one of my personal favorite characters in the entire series
Livia insisting she doesn’t want any repercussions while simultaneously praying it blows up in Tony’s face. What a wonderfully written and acted snake.
I don't think I've seen anyone mention this, but another small but brilliant moment...when Junior and Livia visit Tony after the hit, Silvio says "I thought for sure it was him, but there he is," intimating that Junior wouldn't have come there if he'd been the one that ordered the hit. And Livia was the one who made that decision...after they find out Tony didn't get killed and Junior is freaking out, Livia calmly tells him that they'll go see Tony, without any hesitation. If she hadn't been there to tell Junior what to do, he probably would have stayed away and everyone would have figured it out instantly. Livia = true gangster
@Thomas Berryman no, that’s a different person. The person at the dinner snapping pics was bald. The dude behind them has hair. It really doesn’t matter in the end because either way, the place was bugged and it was only a matter of time till shit went left
Her performance was incredible. I eventually went back and watched the whole series, and it was excellent, but I was so bummed when she died I stopped watching for about four years. I had to pick up the rest like I was watching a new show.
There's no Mexican clilps on Rodolfo's channel. That being said, a pint of blood costs more than an ounce of gold. Borko is NY, Rodolfo is NJ. What are you gonna do?
The look on Livia’s face after that old woman shushed her always cracked me up. The balls on that woman! 5:13 This scene Livia is mic’d by the FBI, you hear it when Tony hears those tapes.
Series 3 was going to have her as the antagonist. David Chase had to rewrite when Nancy Marchand died. One of the best villains in a show full of cold blooded killers and psychopaths.
I feel like they were writing her to be the ultimate genius, but she died in real life, so they had to take the whole show in a completely different direction. You can kind of watch how abrupt the pivot is and how they scrambled to kill her storyline for the sake of the project. If you remember, The airline tickets thing was bulding up to be a huge season finale. It was all anyone was talking about when it first aired. But then she died. God rest her soul. Whatever happened there..
The headache and broken record comments. "I've been forgetting things lately, it'll happen to you soon too." Quasimodo spiting foreshadowing right here.
Livia was the only person to ever fool the most old school, poker faced mafioso in televison history. Whether you agree with the “complement” or not, it is so true. Despite the dementia, he was one of the only ones who comfortably made it to old age. It even makes you laugh more and more as you rewatch and see Tony and the guys always cracking jokes on him for doing those exact smart, yet quirky things that kept him where he was on the food chain for ages! BUT HAS ANYONE EVER NOTICED THAT NOT ONCE HAS A SINGLE PERSON EVER DARED TO DISRESPET HIM TO HIS FACE?? He would have became full time boss, even operating fully from the nursing home reguardless of Tony getting killed; not to mention chance of him being boss avoided the deadly war!! If only he stayed more active when he was home doing nothing for years when he was awaiting trial. The second Junior got busted, was the moment it all looked like a promisiing plan was in the works, only for Tony to have his heart crushed when he finally realized he was near the end w/ dementia hen it was too late, killing him major. practically father/son and well known across the while tristate regionWithout his routine “business dealings” to perform,loved ones who have suffered a similar ending. In reality, if Junior was more likeable and had better social skills, he would have put Tony down real fast in probably a 65% vs 35% ballpark and would more than likely pass it over to him or traing.
Livia might have been manipulative, borderline and cold hearted - but telling Junior, her forgetfulness will happen some day - followed by him later in the series being in a nursing home with Dementia, that has some weight when you look back at the two scenes.
Whats crazy about all this is a bit later in the show we find out Junior is actually extremely intelligent with the advise he gives to Tony and how he analyzed going against Ritchie, (hes not some simpelton like Paulie when he got played by Johnny) the man was a cunning leader but Livia had him wrapped around her finger, "If she were a man shed be the Don of the family"
She loved Tony like a son-in-law.
That line in the show made me laugh way more than I ever should have
she had no scraps in her scrap book
Just like I loved Vito like a brother in law and then he DISHONORED ME PERSONALLY!
This is fucking hilarious!
Good job👍🏻

Nominated for an Emmy, and won Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards.
She won four Emmys for “Lou Grant.”
Series 3 was going to have her as the antagonist. David Chase had to rewrite when Nancy Marchand died. One of the best villains in a show full of cold blooded killers and psychopaths.
I feel like they were writing her to be the ultimate genius, but she died in real life, so they had to take the whole show in a completely different direction. You can kind of watch how abrupt the pivot is and how they scrambled to kill her storyline for the sake of the project. If you remember, The airline tickets thing was bulding up to be a huge season finale. It was all anyone was talking about when it first aired. But then she died. God rest her soul. Whatever happened there..
Tony: Ma I’ve been severely depressed, I’ve been seeing a Therapist.
Livia: (calling Junior) yeah so he’s choosing Death.
Livia’s face at 2:29 after getting shushed 😱
Season 1 had beautiful cinematography.
The headache and broken record comments. "I've been forgetting things lately, it'll happen to you soon too." Quasimodo spiting foreshadowing right here.
"Maybe it was you they were talking about....who knows"
The next breath, "I don't like that kind of talk"
“Suits? Pleurisy?”
Right up there in hilarity next to “let me tell you a couple of three things”
He's eating cheese out of radiator
I love how upon hearing “that snake from Manhattan”, Junior automatically knows it’s Johnny Sack 😂😂😂
The look Junior and Livia gave each other at the end 🗿🗿🗿
Manipulates her brother in law to whack her son.
Mother of the year
"Your ear is disfigured!" lol. I always laugh at her saying that for some reason.
02:43 the way he says this is so perfect
Livia never had the makings of a varsity mother
Livia was the only person to ever fool the most old school, poker faced mafioso in televison history. Whether you agree with the “complement” or not, it is so true. Despite the dementia, he was one of the only ones who comfortably made it to old age. It even makes you laugh more and more as you rewatch and see Tony and the guys always cracking jokes on him for doing those exact smart, yet quirky things that kept him where he was on the food chain for ages! BUT HAS ANYONE EVER NOTICED THAT NOT ONCE HAS A SINGLE PERSON EVER DARED TO DISRESPET HIM TO HIS FACE?? He would have became full time boss, even operating fully from the nursing home reguardless of Tony getting killed; not to mention chance of him being boss avoided the deadly war!! If only he stayed more active when he was home doing nothing for years when he was awaiting trial. The second Junior got busted, was the moment it all looked like a promisiing plan was in the works, only for Tony to have his heart crushed when he finally realized he was near the end w/ dementia hen it was too late, killing him major. practically father/son and well known across the while tristate regionWithout his routine “business dealings” to perform,loved ones who have suffered a similar ending. In reality, if Junior was more likeable and had better social skills, he would have put Tony down real fast in probably a 65% vs 35% ballpark and would more than likely pass it over to him or traing.
Green Grove never had the makings of a varsity retirement community
I never recommended it.. Hehehe...
@Steve Turowski the brother joe home?? Che pootz.. Hehehe
Steve Turowski Level of care warms my heart.
Steve Turowski CUP FULLA PENCILS!!
She played him like a damn fiddle!
"Pleurisy- more than once?"
I missed that malapropism, that's great!
The old lady shushing Livia was a great actress. They should have done more with her.
If they did, she might not have lasted long Lol
commendatore!! How many times u watched the sopranos? ahahh
4 I think
borko All in the can?
Nancy Marchand was such a force in this series. Too bad she passed; I would've loved to see that drama play out.
god damn shes such a good actor
Livia might have been manipulative, borderline and cold hearted - but telling Junior, her forgetfulness will happen some day - followed by him later in the series being in a nursing home with Dementia, that has some weight when you look back at the two scenes.
David Chase is a genius.
"Maybe it was you they were alkin about. Who knows?"
So subtle this one. Always eith the scenarios
“Junior’s very busy these days, with his headaches.” Prob my favorite line from Olivia lol
Thank you for another great upload Mr. Borko junior Sir!
I love Livia’s shifty lizard eyes.
Whats crazy about all this is a bit later in the show we find out Junior is actually extremely intelligent with the advise he gives to Tony and how he analyzed going against Ritchie, (hes not some simpelton like Paulie when he got played by Johnny) the man was a cunning leader but Livia had him wrapped around her finger, "If she were a man shed be the Don of the family"
