The title of the last episode, The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti, is a reference to Tennessee Williams, a renowned American playwright and screenwriter.
The taboo with oral sex isn't related to the time this show was produced. Rather, it's connected to the "old school" ways of the mafia culture. I imagine they still hold the same taboo to this day.
Maybe a little different here but in the 90s it was still pretty taboo to talk about it in public, not entirely though and I would say people did start to become more open over time. I definitely understand that in the mob culture it would be even more discouraged!
Idk, i'm 37, and even tho not Scottish at all, during travels around the world and living at home, in the sort of stereotypical "dudes company", even early 2000s, basically when the show is set (start at 99), it was still viewed as kinda not "manly man", which with their weird machismo and pandering to "old school" (whatever it is really) these guys in the show are. The times definitely changed, a bit less puritanical I would say, which is for the better, just imo.
@nickrubin7312 Of course, things fluctuate from culture to culture as well as through time. My impression at the time, as a young 20-something in the U.S., was that attitudes toward a lot of old school taboos were relaxing, or had already relaxed, during the 90s.
Junior was born, say, around 1930 and from a blue collar, Catholic background. His social attitudes are understandably from a bygone era. Plus, Junior at his best was an idiosyncratic character.
Yum, yum - and cheers - for Colin whenever he gets to go and "heads down" for a fishing trip to lovely Loch Lorna. She's so bashful and simply adorable; love both your chemistry & reactions.
The mob was highly competitive and as soon as any weakness was detected you became vulnerable to the jackals. Whistling the wheat field was seen seen as being half-a-ƒag and damaging to a mobsters reputation
16:40 - 16:45. Lorna mildly annoyed?? I'm still trying to process this!! 😱😂 And "clip" does mean kill, as per Colin's guess. Junior pleasuring his girlfriend in that way is considered "unmanly" in that world because it puts him in a "submissive" position, although they all obviously do it.
Tony had to let law enforcement deal with it. Had the coach been killed it would be a huge problem for his mob family. The mob can’t get involved with civilian justice. Society & cops would go crazy if they did. The coach was a civilian. Not connected to the mob in any way. And he’s a very public guy. If he vanished or turned up dead there would be a HUGE investigation & the people would get caught.
@@weebitreacts It’s a reoccurring theme... mob justice & civilian justice overlapping. Also the theme.. does mob justice always stay within the mob or are civilians often collateral damage.
Loved this one! And it’s the US though, the country’s run by nonces who do that as a popular hobby internationally, that’s why most of the time they get a slap on the wrist at most… and as for his wife & daughter, it’s better that way too I reckon because otherwise they’d get shite for it too… that’s why I’d say they should’ve cut off his parts and make him choke on them while he bleeds to death… And I can answer dr melfi’s question, he’s got to because who else will… yah he got arrested but then most likely released on bond the next day… but I guess he can do what he’d normally do if he gets released… And I feel bad for Bobbi too, she stopped talking about it as soon as he said to, he just didn’t ask… Well said too and lovely couple 😊 Have a good week!
Junior's insecurity really comes to the fore in this episode. He throws away a loving relationship over basically nothing, consumed by how other people perceive him. I noticed how Meadow is positioned as the witness to Tony's moral struggle. Carmella is completely blind, or willfully ignoring the possibility and likelihood of Tony's violence.
Colin's reaction to "that's not what I heard" lol
Junior's right-hand man is named Mikey btw.
Haha thanks! We could never remember his name 😂

Everyone I've seen react to this show has loved the intro/song. 🤣
It's a bop!
Meadow used her HANDS.
7:42 The one-eyed snake is catching some shut-eye.
Which makes him a no-eyed snake, (for now!)

Not taboo in normal society, just with the old fashioned mobsters! I was in my 30s during the 90s and there was plenty of sex talk everywhere!!
@@scottmessenger8639 Yeah it is a mafia taboo. It shows submission/subservience to others and therefore weakness.
In terms of their social attitudes, the mob can be considered roughly a century behind everyone else.

Yeah but the whole mob has this ultra machismo thing.@@TheJazzper1970
This a such a great series, I do love to see Lorna react to these on screen bad behavors. I'm along for the ride from Phoenix, AZ, US
Ahaha thanks! Glad you are enjoying watching. Hello from Scotland 🏴

They definitely don't all do it.

Yeah so true when you put it like that!

The Feds ARE watching Junior. So if his girlfriend gossips about their sex life, what else might she say,?
She's gotta go. ***pop*** ***pop***
08:18 Make Lorna watch Junior's junior
I like to watch Colin's junior, so that's enough juniors' for me 💖😂
Oof madon' e....grab the gabagool its time fa Sopranos
😊😊🙌🙌
Nice reaction but how come you didn't mention that the Scottish invented golf?
I (Colin) am annoyed with myself for letting that one slip 😂.
@@weebitreactsYeah that's a BIG one!! Golf and surfing are the sports of God, you are one with the earth while enjoying them!!!

Well said too and lovely couple 😊
Have a good week!
You have a good week too! Thanks for watching 💖💖 Lorna
‘Pie-ing’ Roberta is worse than hitting her. Humiliation is always worse and effects a greater psychological damage.
He'd been taking her pie to the face for years. Very allegorical.
Too many American cultural references I don’t get how you guys can keep up watching this
It's only a small hump to get over. Not too integral to the story.
Dude it's not about people from another planet, it's just American, Christ it's not that difficult to understand!!!!!!!
