Also completely ignoring the boss’s orders, and then talking about how things were “back in my day”. A guy who knows the rules better than anyone shitting on the boss? He’s lucky they didn’t put him down for the dirt nap.
As was his tracksuit attire. Chris was made quite some time before this. You ~usually~ see made guys in nicer clothing. Paulie being an exception, of course. The tracksuit made Chris look like a regular jerkoff, just like Benny.
This is low key one of the saddest scenes in the entire series. Just him glancing outside the prison bus, seeing the monotonous of life and being near reduced to tears at the thought of never seeing the outside world again.
Funnily enough, I think Feech subconsciously wanted to go back to prison. Like Brooks in Shawshank Redemption - behind bars everything made sense, unlike the outside world that had passed him by. It was the best place for him.
I might feel a little worse for him if he hadn't been such an asshole. He was in the same league as Ralphie and Richie Aprile in that regard. Otherwise, I think I agree with Jonny Birchyboy above.
creepyzeek Well Feech could have gone rogue and assaulted the FBI guy , but I found from reading another Mob story and it said that there are certain people you don’t whack or attack even if they are an adversary .
@@dagnabbit6187 I hadn't thought of that only because of his age. Not because he wasn't tough enough, but I don't think that agent would've let that happen. I'm also positive Feech would've attempted a Hit on Tony.
creepyzeek. Remember when Tony said “ You don’t think I didn’t learn anything from Richie Aprille ? Nip it in the bud .” I don’t know if Feech would have made a move on Tony . From one of Feech’s moments he started to question his age & his time passing . Still he was an aggressive old man . He probably did figure out that Tony set him up .
Earlier in the episode, Carmela points out how everyone only laughs at Tony’s jokes out of fear, not respect. It’s sad when Tony realises that because Feech didn’t laugh at his joke, he doesn’t fear him, which means he has to go. Even sadder, that this meant Tony couldn’t afford to have people who respected him in his life, only people who fear him.
You sound dumbas hell. Feech needed to go because he didnt respect the boss, and tony made the decision after feech robbed all the dudes from the high stakes game, and he injured the dude who was mowing people grass. Feech was a loose canon and still considered tony to be a child, like he told him. Im convinced you mfs just wanna monologue bull shit all day 😂😂😂😂😂
The ending scene is so powerful. Where Feech is on bus heading back to Prison. He doesn’t say a word but you could tell what’s going through his mind. He knows he’s never going to be free again and that his life is pretty much over. Amazing non-verbal acting…
Then why on earth would they get rid of him like this? Doesnt Feech know way too much? I mean going away for life is a recipe for snitching in "this thing of theirs".
In real life their criminals, not celebrities, not friends to anyone . They take from those who work for it and live well, at least until someone kills them . Their scum and low life's, was I talking about mafia or politicians? They appear the same.

Feech should have suspected something when two fellow mafia members come to your house and start randomly discussing their business out of the blue. Bringing shit up that you have nothing to do with.
To be fair, they made it very believable. I didn't even suspect anything, I thought it was Feech who had the upper hand here because he seemed to make some easy money out of it
This is true. What most people don't know is there never was supposed to be THIS Season 5. Season 5 was supposed to be the last season. Feech was never supposed to be in the show. No Animal Blundetto. No "Johnny Cakes" story. No Phil Leotardo. No Angelo. The original Season 5 was just supposed to be New Jersey and New York have a beef, Tony drives into New York to settle it and he gets whacked. The way things ended with Melfi in Season 6 Part 2 was originally written for Season 5. Somehow HBO convinced David Chase to make a Season 6 and 7. He wrote the Season 5 we got, and was so disgusted he told HBO he was going to only do a Season 6 that cleaned up all the mess of Season 5, then end it. I'm not sure how the actor who played Vito convinced Chase to add Johnny Cakes into Season 6 when all Chase wanted to do was wrap it up. It cracks me up that Chase was talked into anything. The guy is one of the most disagreeable people I've ever seen/heard.
Actually, it serves to show that feech realises at that moment (specifically when they show the parking lot passing by) what a huge mistake he's made. Ultimately he's on the bus because of stealing those cars at the wedding.
+ZenzDeluxe I never understood these guys like Feech and Richie. They get out of prison and right away start doing the WRONG things, like undermining the Boss and running their own operations. I guess they think that time spent in the can = automatic street cred and a license to do whatever they fuck they please.
@@pavelbrodskiy7216 because before going to prison they were important to the crew and Tony wasn't the boss (they were probably the same rank). When they got out and see that Tony is a boss and he gives orders to them, they can't accept it plus they want to have something for all the time they did, they want to make up for all this time they've been gone.
@@flyflh He would never know if it was a setup , he would only suspect & wonder about that until he eats his last grilled cheese off the radiator in prison.
some sad shit. Guy spends 20 years in the prison, gets out and decides to be bad again. Barely spends a few months in the streets, then goes to prison again. Wonder if he realized that he was betrayed when he was in the truck going to incarceration.
Season 6 in the episode called “sentimental Education”, at Satriales, At 17:40, when Vito is helping Tony Blundetto study, Christopher Moltisanti states “If your parole officers a problem, give my guy Jimmy Curran a call. He’s a supervisor.” This was the same parole officer that handcuffed feech la manna.
Feechs face when the parole officer tells him to open the garage was similar to mine when my mom told me to empty my pockets when I came home stinking of weed.
@@frankfurlacker5219 That was his own decision, and a delusional one. Feech was the only person who wasn't sucking Tony's ass, and he couldn't handle it. Tony chose to be alone because he's too afraid of another possibility.
Leadership? How about the stress of being a total POS 24/7 and realizing you have zero humanity. Or true friends. Tony was a garbage person who ended up getting what he deserved.
It’s scary how just after getting into prison he had no second thought about strong arming and beating the shit out of some innocent person trying to make a living. Such little regard for other human beings. Someone like him *deserves* to die in prison.
Feech "In My Day" Lamanna. That line sums up his experience in season 5 perfectly. He thought it was still "his day" but it wasn't anymore. He looked at Tony as a twenty year old kid still and had trouble taking orders from him like Ritchie. Some of these mob guys seem to subconsciously think they are owed something for doing a long prison stretch like a man. When it is really what they are expected to do when they took the oath. Feech, Ritchie and Phil all seemed to have a bit of an attitude and chip on their shoulder when they got out. Even Tony Blundetto who wasn't made when he went away says to Christopher when he starts getting back into the life that he went away for a long time and stood up for this family and felt like he had a little something coming to him.
Say what you want: feech, Richie and Phil all kept their oath whereas so many would have flipped. Real quality tried and tested unlike so many on thenoutside
Robert Loggia played the role of Feech La Manna, perfectly. I first heard of him because of the late-1983 'Scarface' remake & didn't see that until sometime in the mid-1990's. I was born in early-1989 & love seeing movies such as that, for example... Be that as it may, Robert Loggia will always be Feech La Manna from 'The Sopranos' & Frank Lopez from 'Scarface', respectively--to me, at least... R.I.P., Robert Loggia.
While it may have been easier on Feech to wack him, Feech's stubborness and insubordination were not "killable" offenses especially for a legend. This was Tony's only choice. Brilliant casting again by Chase. Loggia as always is brilliant
word is Feech got written out because Robert Loggia (the actor) kept forgetting his lines and messing up every scene, thats too bad, he was a cool character
i think most forget, tony and jackie ran up on feech'es card game. a made guys card game, kids should have been slayed but jackies dad was no1 or some shit. feech took so much shit from tony all these years, should have shot the fat panick attacked fuck
@@momo-fo2jn Tony father, Johnny, is the reason why Jackie Sr and Tony didn't get killed after robbing Feech card game. Johnny was a Capo, was well liked, and had a lot of friends. Regardless, Feech should have let it go. That happened years ago and now Tony is a grown man and the boss of the family. Feech and Richie Aprile had the same issue in that they couldn't see that the old days were gone and Tony, the kid who was lower ranked than them was calling the shots.
Goddam. The moment that cop looked outa the window, you can see Feech's whole demeanour, and look, just start to melt, like "oh fuck. That's it. No way out now." When the cop's standing behind him, waiting for him, you can see it on Feech's face. I nearly felt sorry for him. What awesome acting, so subtle yet says volumes........
I love how they said no to the $2000 and gave him the flat screen. He could have said anything about the truck. I don't have two cars. I told a friend he could park it there. Him having the television in his house meant denial was out.
Feech's past would have made a truckload of TVs in his garage look extremely suspicious. Feech made it easy to set him up because he was so anxious to get back in.
The bus ride going to the prison has got to be the hardest thing ever you are watching literally your freedom go away knowing he'll never ever be out there again.
They didn't do this poor guy any favors, making him go back to prison until he died was just wrong, especially after he had just gotten out after doing all that time.
What you have to understand is what Ralph said back in season 3, that Feech was made on the other side, so he was OG. To have someone like that come back into the fold, to take orders from the new generation that stepped in, it’s not good for anybody. If he was allowed to roam free, he would have kept causing problems until he got himself killed.
Weird thing to consider: Tony was so willing to avoid the stigma of ratting out Feech that he sacrificed a truckload of perfectly good stolen TVs to frame him. After all, what kind of self-respecting boss would waste hundreds of thousands of dollars in merchandise that way when he could have just shot the guy?
Idk if you've watched the episode but they also state that Feech is very well liked amongst the crew. So having him whacked wasn't the best option. However I do see your point. What costs more though? A mutiny or a truck of TVs
Kill the guy, and then what? Skip town? He wouldn't be safe in any other state because he's a known member of Tony's crew and there would be BOLOs out for him everywhere. His only option would be to try to go back to Italy, where he was originally from, and time would be of the essence because once the supervisor didn't report back at the end of the day, they would backtrack his schedule of stops for the day and connect the dots. In fact Italy might not even be a viable option because law enforcement over there would likely be given a heads up. I think it's safe to say there was no way out of this.
Rest In Peace Robert Loggia. Seen him in so many movies and had no idea he was from my neighborhood in Staten Island. Always thought he was from the Bronx or jersey. Rip to a legend.
2:55 That expression on Feech's face. You know, the 'now I'll have to look for the biggest, blackest motherf***r in the room and ask him what he's looking at' expression.
You needed more 👍🏾that was the look I thought he had. "I'm too old for this. I'm not gonna make it". He should of moved to Florida. I really hated he was betrayed like that.
RIP Robert . Of course this great actor had a bulging resume of quality work. I decided to pay my respects on this post because Feech made a big impression on us Soprano fans for the short time he was there. Yet come to think of it Feech probably really knows what happened to Tony in the Diner----- if anything . We behind the fourth wall only got to see the Fade to Black.
At 3:19 is one of the worst parts when u get locked back up. Just to see everybody out doing whatever they want. And u are on your way back inside. No more freedom
@@thelimon4338 In all 50 states and Federally, murdering your parole officer is Murder 1, same as killing a cop. If you think otherwise you're a dumbshit, sorry.
In an alternate universe, after Feech goes back to jail, he decides that despite serving his time and keeping his mouth shut, he got disrespected by the mob and didn't get what he thought he deserved for his loyalty. Feech decides to become a rat in order to seek vengeance. Even though he would be in the witness protection, he has no fear of being killed as he knows he is already too old and doesn't have many years left.
2:55. The exact moment Feech La Manna realized that he was royally, completely, irrevocably screwed. The writer and director made a good decision to not show the actual arrest before cutting to the subtly emotional bus ride. True visionaries. 😎👍
As a supervisor. I learned the hard way that Tony is right when he says he is not running a popularity contest. People you supervise are not your friendl. If you try to be popular by pleasing everyone, then the organization suffers. Tony makes the big bucks because he has to make the hard decisions.
What Tony said hit me because I realized that if I want to get somewhere in life, I can't be fixated on staying in everyone's good graces (while trying not to disrespect anyone either).
This is one of my favorites from the Sopranos. I very much wonder what becomes of the stolen flatscreens. If seized it seems like a very expensive way to get rid of Feech LaManna. lol
Great scene! This scene encapsulates all that is, and is not, Feech LaManna! It also speaks volumes to why Feech was always the guy who ended up with the short end of the stick. Feech never had the makings of a captain, much less, a boss. Feech was a short term player who could never see the big picture, or more than 5 feet in front of him. This is why he did twenty years in the first place, and then went right back in can shorty after coming out!
Just when he thought he was out, they pulled him back in.

Feech should have suspected something when two fellow mafia members come to your house and start randomly discussing their business out of the blue. Bringing shit up that you have nothing to do with.
Maybe he was rusty.
To be fair, they made it very believable. I didn't even suspect anything, I thought it was Feech who had the upper hand here because he seemed to make some easy money out of it
He was senile.
Obvious set up
BuzzKill, i knew they would've set him up. No way they wouldn't have where to park that truck.
Just when I thought I was done rewatching the sopranos, they pull me right back in
Lol
Just finished watching this series again myself lol
I just realized here that Feech also played in Scarface as Frank Lopez.
Danm, you're right!
Blood Beryl HAY! Didja know believe he also played the general in Independence day? EH??
"I noticed that, I am going to kill that focking cookaroch!!"
Mertovicz Elvira.. YOU WANT ELVIRA!! You can have her you'll never see me again...
He played Mr Eddy in Lost Highway too
the guy they picked to be the home inspector was flawless
kinda scary tbh. even i felt like i was in trouble.
Parole officer
He was my fav character, I wish they had done more with him
@@williammunny9916 They should have done more with this character, John. I wish we had seen more of him.
@@karamanid yeah definitely had The makings of a varsity football player.
He was supposed to have a larger role in the season but unfortunately age was making him forget his lines
Mr. Loggia was dying of Altzheimers.
Noooo
This is true. What most people don't know is there never was supposed to be THIS Season 5. Season 5 was supposed to be the last season. Feech was never supposed to be in the show. No Animal Blundetto. No "Johnny Cakes" story. No Phil Leotardo. No Angelo.
The original Season 5 was just supposed to be New Jersey and New York have a beef, Tony drives into New York to settle it and he gets whacked. The way things ended with Melfi in Season 6 Part 2 was originally written for Season 5.
Somehow HBO convinced David Chase to make a Season 6 and 7. He wrote the Season 5 we got, and was so disgusted he told HBO he was going to only do a Season 6 that cleaned up all the mess of Season 5, then end it. I'm not sure how the actor who played Vito convinced Chase to add Johnny Cakes into Season 6 when all Chase wanted to do was wrap it up.
It cracks me up that Chase was talked into anything. The guy is one of the most disagreeable people I've ever seen/heard.
@@DagwoodDogwoggle I think Tony B was always meant to come in but yeah last I heard Chase decided mid way through season 5 to continue on
joe biden was his next role
he was sent back to prison for not having an oil stain in his garage
It had a bee on it
Feech Had A Stain In His Underwear When PO Said Lts Go Open It UP
Love how it shows us Feech looking out of the prison van window, looking at the goodlife before going back to the can.
Actually, it serves to show that feech realises at that moment (specifically when they show the parking lot passing by) what a huge mistake he's made. Ultimately he's on the bus because of stealing those cars at the wedding.
+ZenzDeluxe I never understood these guys like Feech and Richie. They get out of prison and right away start doing the WRONG things, like undermining the Boss and running their own operations. I guess they think that time spent in the can = automatic street cred and a license to do whatever they fuck they please.
@@pavelbrodskiy7216 because before going to prison they were important to the crew and Tony wasn't the boss (they were probably the same rank). When they got out and see that Tony is a boss and he gives orders to them, they can't accept it plus they want to have something for all the time they did, they want to make up for all this time they've been gone.
@@pavelbrodskiy7216 Maybe they didn't compromise in the can like Phil Leotardo
Maybe also thinking how he could have just whacked the guy who wanted to see his garage..
Every second of this sequence is perfection. I could watch it 1,000 times. God I love 'The Sopranos' ....

@@rickdeckard1075you're a friendless, miserable person 😂 just because everyone in your life hates you doesn't mean you have to be rude to strangers
You can see it on his face in the kitchen. He knows it was set up. It breaks his heart. Great scene from a great actor.
I think his initial reaction is to getting caught by the parole officer then it maybe sinks in that he was set up.
@Stiv Garneski he was just trying to be helpful but he was doing his own side operations …
@Stiv Garneski he couldn’t help it. His nature. And Tony knew it 🤷🏾♂️
@Stiv Garneski He comes from a time when they could largely get away with that sort of stuff
@@flyflh He would never know if it was a setup , he would only suspect & wonder about that until he eats his last grilled cheese off the radiator in prison.
some sad shit. Guy spends 20 years in the prison, gets out and decides to be bad again. Barely spends a few months in the streets, then goes to prison again. Wonder if he realized that he was betrayed when he was in the truck going to incarceration.

Decides to be bad? He’s a made guy lmao. What’s he gonna do open become a janitor?
The moment the parole officer asked to see the garage he knew about the set-up.

Robert played Feech very well. His face when he is on his way back to prison....simply tragic. A masterclass of acting without uttering one word.
Scoping out the neighborhood, knowing it's for the last time.
Yep he plays a TREE SO WELL
Tony‘s expression in the last scene is priceless.
It just shows you the constant weight of leadership that no one else feels or experiences.
Yep, like Tony said to Silvio, “In the end you’re alone with it all.”
Intresting takes you have from this show.
@@frankfurlacker5219 That was his own decision, and a delusional one. Feech was the only person who wasn't sucking Tony's ass, and he couldn't handle it. Tony chose to be alone because he's too afraid of another possibility.
Leadership? How about the stress of being a total POS 24/7 and realizing you have zero humanity. Or true friends. Tony was a garbage person who ended up getting what he deserved.
It’s scary how just after getting into prison he had no second thought about strong arming and beating the shit out of some innocent person trying to make a living. Such little regard for other human beings. Someone like him *deserves* to die in prison.
He got what he deserved - I am tired of this glorification of the mob life.
Come to think of it, they ALL deserve to die in prison, but this show makes us love these characters regardless.
@@Dakayto not Finch to be honest
@@goriflex2441 exactly finch
True. If he really cared about staying out of prison he would have went straight instead of immediately going back to victimizing people for a living.
He’ll have a captive audience for his stories now.
I always wondered if Feech knew he was setup when the officer asked to see his garage. When I first saw this episode I didn't think so, but now I do.
It seems like he's wondering whether or not it was during his last scene, but it appears that he's mostly just given up.
I think he realizes it all at once- that he is screwed AND he got set up
Feech "In My Day" Lamanna. That line sums up his experience in season 5 perfectly.
He thought it was still "his day" but it wasn't anymore. He looked at Tony as a twenty year old kid still and had trouble taking orders from him like Ritchie.
Some of these mob guys seem to subconsciously think they are owed something for doing a long prison stretch like a man. When it is really what they are expected to do when they took the oath. Feech, Ritchie and Phil all seemed to have a bit of an attitude and chip on their shoulder when they got out.
Even Tony Blundetto who wasn't made when he went away says to Christopher when he starts getting back into the life that he went away for a long time and stood up for this family and felt like he had a little something coming to him.
Say what you want: feech, Richie and Phil all kept their oath whereas so many would have flipped. Real quality tried and tested unlike so many on thenoutside
youd be a bit of a prick if you spent like 20 years in the can, too
@@GyroLamb I agree. I understand the character and his point of view. But I also see how Tony saw him and why he did what he did.
Can’t blame them
Being in a prison and never saying shit to protect the family? Better be taken care of when u get out otherwise what was it all for
Not just mobsters. That’s old people in general. Pretentious c***suckers.
Robert Loggia played the role of Feech La Manna, perfectly.
I first heard of him because of the late-1983 'Scarface' remake & didn't see that until sometime in the mid-1990's.
I was born in early-1989 & love seeing movies such as that, for example...
Be that as it may, Robert Loggia will always be Feech La Manna from 'The Sopranos' & Frank Lopez from 'Scarface', respectively--to me, at least...
R.I.P., Robert Loggia.
Tony was big on the "no snitch" policy until he does it.
Yeah, if you seriously think of it the newer mafia especially is that way.
While it may have been easier on Feech to wack him, Feech's stubborness and insubordination were not "killable" offenses especially for a legend. This was Tony's only choice. Brilliant casting again by Chase. Loggia as always is brilliant
Perfectly said!
word is Feech got written out because Robert Loggia (the actor) kept forgetting his lines and messing up every scene, thats too bad, he was a cool character
aepr84 damn couldn’t even tell
Yep. Alzheimer's is a bitch, Would have loved to seen where the character went had he not had to have been written out early.
i think most forget, tony and jackie ran up on feech'es card game. a made guys card game, kids should have been slayed but jackies dad was no1 or some shit. feech took so much shit from tony all these years, should have shot the fat panick attacked fuck
Where did you hear that?
@@momo-fo2jn Tony father, Johnny, is the reason why Jackie Sr and Tony didn't get killed after robbing Feech card game. Johnny was a Capo, was well liked, and had a lot of friends.
Regardless, Feech should have let it go. That happened years ago and now Tony is a grown man and the boss of the family. Feech and Richie Aprile had the same issue in that they couldn't see that the old days were gone and Tony, the kid who was lower ranked than them was calling the shots.
I know the joke is to say I wish they did more with that character. But I actually do wish Feech was in the show longer. He had so much potential.
They released him from cast cuz he forgot the dialogues all the time
@@mohaimenulislam8782 Robert Loggia had Alzheimer's Disease.

Goddam. The moment that cop looked outa the window, you can see Feech's whole demeanour, and look, just start to melt, like "oh fuck. That's it. No way out now." When the cop's standing behind him, waiting for him, you can see it on Feech's face. I nearly felt sorry for him. What awesome acting, so subtle yet says volumes........
In an instant he goes from looking like a gangster to looking like a frail old man at the end of his tether.
Ouch that scene him staring out the prison bus window was heartbreaking

I love how they said no to the $2000 and gave him the flat screen. He could have said anything about the truck. I don't have two cars. I told a friend he could park it there. Him having the television in his house meant denial was out.
TV or no TV in his house he was getting locked up!
Feech's past would have made a truckload of TVs in his garage look extremely suspicious. Feech made it easy to set him up because he was so anxious to get back in.
He's so out of time, he probably meant $200
They said no to make their story more believable. If they said yes right away, Feech would realise they're screwing him over.
Then that would be snitching
The bus ride going to the prison has got to be the hardest thing ever you are watching literally your freedom go away knowing he'll never ever be out there again.
They didn't do this poor guy any favors, making him go back to prison until he died was just wrong, especially after he had just gotten out after doing all that time.
The crew loved him, but he was breaking the rules and wanted to take Tony out.
Poor guy?
He was a pain in everyones ass and brought it on himself.
I know the Mafia showed no heart there, very strange, they are usually decent lads
@@walkergillette3918 Don’t expect them to do anything nice, they should have put him out of his misery instead of putting him back in jail.
What you have to understand is what Ralph said back in season 3, that Feech was made on the other side, so he was OG. To have someone like that come back into the fold, to take orders from the new generation that stepped in, it’s not good for anybody. If he was allowed to roam free, he would have kept causing problems until he got himself killed.

Weird thing to consider: Tony was so willing to avoid the stigma of ratting out Feech that he sacrificed a truckload of perfectly good stolen TVs to frame him. After all, what kind of self-respecting boss would waste hundreds of thousands of dollars in merchandise that way when he could have just shot the guy?
Idk if you've watched the episode but they also state that Feech is very well liked amongst the crew. So having him whacked wasn't the best option. However I do see your point. What costs more though? A mutiny or a truck of TVs
@@TrudeaisaWEFpuppet Exactly, especially a truck of TV's you didnt pay for. They can always jack another load.
Cost of business
I'm betting that Parole Officer was on the take, too, they didn't lose those TVs, or they were already police property.
Well, we don't know how big the truck was, and we don't know how many TV sets were in it. Hundreds of thousands of dollars? Not likely.
Knowing the only outcome possible after opening the garage, I’ll always be surprised that Feech didn’t kill dude.
Kill the guy, and then what? Skip town? He wouldn't be safe in any other state because he's a known member of Tony's crew and there would be BOLOs out for him everywhere.
His only option would be to try to go back to Italy, where he was originally from, and time would be of the essence because once the supervisor didn't report back at the end of the day, they would backtrack his schedule of stops for the day and connect the dots.
In fact Italy might not even be a viable option because law enforcement over there would likely be given a heads up.
I think it's safe to say there was no way out of this.
The thought definitely entered his head in that moment of realisation
@danieljackson1272 ok but all those are "might go back to prison", no action meant "will go back to prison"
3:33 he’s looking the window thinking about all of the things he took for granted. Damn

"My cousins mother..." i love that
And his cousin is his mother's sister's son.
I’m of the mindset that Feech knew he got setup and due to being “Old School” Mafia refused to rat anyone out. Tony’s strategy here was brilliant.
Supervisor Kern was by far my favorite character in the series. I wish they did more with him.
The regular parole officer rarely got sick... so David Chase really couldn't do more with him.

RIP Robert . Of course this great actor had a bulging resume of quality work. I decided to pay my respects on this post because Feech made a big impression on us Soprano fans for the short time he was there. Yet come to think of it Feech probably really knows what happened to Tony in the Diner----- if anything . We behind the fourth wall only got to see the Fade to Black.
He was the only one in the Mob who told Tony the truth.
Feech stepped on too many of Tony’s toes..
RIP Feech La Manna.....here as well as IRL
At 3:19 is one of the worst parts when u get locked back up. Just to see everybody out doing whatever they want. And u are on your way back inside. No more freedom
Fabulous acting from chrissie again in this scene.. He is so naturally convincing that Feech took the bait
Jesus Christ Sil’s shirt was so loud it blew out my speakers.
I like how Tony says that he's not running a popularity contest but thats exactly why he got rid of Feech.

In an alternate universe, after Feech goes back to jail, he decides that despite serving his time and keeping his mouth shut, he got disrespected by the mob and didn't get what he thought he deserved for his loyalty. Feech decides to become a rat in order to seek vengeance. Even though he would be in the witness protection, he has no fear of being killed as he knows he is already too old and doesn't have many years left.
Back to grill cheese on the radiator and pulling one off in a tissue....
2:55. The exact moment Feech La Manna realized that he was royally, completely, irrevocably screwed. The writer and director made a good decision to not show the actual arrest before cutting to the subtly emotional bus ride. True visionaries. 😎👍

As a supervisor. I learned the hard way that Tony is right when he says he is not running a popularity contest. People you supervise are not your friendl. If you try to be popular by pleasing everyone, then the organization suffers. Tony makes the big bucks because he has to make the hard decisions.
What Tony said hit me because I realized that if I want to get somewhere in life, I can't be fixated on staying in everyone's good graces (while trying not to disrespect anyone either).

Great scene! This scene encapsulates all that is, and is not, Feech LaManna! It also speaks volumes to why Feech was always the guy who ended up with the short end of the stick. Feech never had the makings of a captain, much less, a boss. Feech was a short term player who could never see the big picture, or more than 5 feet in front of him. This is why he did twenty years in the first place, and then went right back in can shorty after coming out!
On that bus ride. I know what he is thinking. How the hell did I mess up my freedom so fast.
The parole officer that showed up is a good friend of mine. Feech is going back to Oz.
