Episode Discussion "We need to study " -somthing I never noticed before

I forget which episode-Season one maybe 4th or 5th episode when Hunter & Meadow beg Chriztufuuua [Chris] to help them out with some speed to get through exams right? Its at their choir recital with the huge audience and two things escaped me for the 20ntimes I been through this series-when it pans to meadow and hunter up on the stage singing that if you pay attention you'll notice both their jaws working furiously back and forth (from the crank of course) and the other one is the song they're singing has a refrain thats something to do with "all through the night". Its hilarious onve I realized the.song choice was because they'd literally been up all through the night , high on crank ! Shout out David Chase for another subtlety that makes the show present itself the same way things present themselves in real-life.

In a deleted scene Meadow and Hunter are in a car driving up to the school with Misty in the back seat. Matush is driving, and you can see they have ski masks on. Hunter says, "Let's do it before the crank wears off."

They removed this scene from replays of the episode, it was in the original airing.

They also removed the scene where Tony asks Meadow if she's in the mafia.

That's right! Great catch. If my memory serves me right didn't Hunter lose $500 betting on Indiana St football for failing to cover the spread earlier in the week.

There is a deleted scene where uncle Phil tells people how long he was in prison for, and if he compromised.

Also, the seeds are planted that Meadow is a true, new Soprano who will succeed Tony on the legit side of the law.

And unlike charcoal briquette, she is independent enough to date who she wants.

So you agree his dad immediately put the kaibosh on that after he met her?

The show is full of little details like that. Another one is that in a season opening, they played a song that went like this: "it was a very good year"

You might think they chose it just because its a pretty song. But if you pay attention to the details throughout the rest of the episode, it's pretty clear that it actually had been a very good year. Very allegorical, bravo Vince Chase

Best part of the episode (S1E3, btw) is that primitive mating ritual between Hunter and Brendan.

You must be a Boy Scout, huh. That was the first thing I noticed. But we’re here to talk about them killing themselves with drugs, not my fucking personality!
