He Is Risen - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Ralph and Jackie are in Rose's kitchen talking. After Jackie pours a box of Trix cereal, he sets it down with the front of the box (Trix is showing) facing the camera which is set awkwardly on the counter - it is not set down flat on the counter. For the remaining shots of the scene showing Jackie, the cereal box is now flat on the counter with the back of the box facing the camera. (00:31:55)

He Is Risen - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When at the funeral parlour, Paulie and Silvio are on the settee and Tony sits on a chair. In close up shots of Tony only, his hands are clasped on his lap, but in long shots of all three characters, he has a hand on each knee.

Pine Barrens - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Meadow is looking mournfully at the Scrabble board, she sees that Jackie laid "the" using the letter e from "oblique" that she laid. However, when they were playing the game, the only word after oblique that Jackie laid before leaving was "ass".

Pine Barrens - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Christopher is trying to start a fire with sticks and has a cigarette in his mouth. He starts to go back into the van with the cigarette in his mouth but in the next shot the cigarette is gone and he is rubbing his hands together.

Amour Fou - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the episode Carmella is reading a book on real estate. When a close up of the book is shown, she is at the beginning of chapter 1, yet when the camera angle changes she is about halfway through the book.

For All Debts Public and Private - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Tony Jr. reads the newspaper, his part of the table changes completely: The napkin changes position, the orange juice comes closer to his arm, the spoon in the bowl changes positions, and a mug in front is replaced for a load of papers. The position of his thumb also swaps from being beneath a photo, to on top of it depending on the angle.

No-Show - S4-E2

No-Show - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: During FBI questioning, Adriana vomits on the conference table. Agent Deborah Ciccerone is sitting directly in front of her, and in the scene she gets no vomit on her clothes or body. But in the next close-up shot, she has very long vomit on her blouse and jacket, despite sitting across from Adriana. (00:51:23)

No-Show - S4-E2

Revealing mistake: When Patsy knocks down the black guy with the iron pole, the pole breaks in half like a piece of plastic. When it cuts, the pole is intact.

Pie-O-My - S4-E5

Revealing mistake: A different horse is used for close-ups and race shots; you can tell by looking at the white patch on Pie-O-My's head, which is much bigger in the close-ups.

Pie-O-My - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: While standing outside the horse's stall, Ralphie's arms go from being at his sides, to folded across his chest throughout the whole scene.

Pie-O-My - S4-E5

Revealing mistake: The high quality image of the footage of the show differs hugely with that of the footage of the horse races; revealing it's stock footage taken from a TV source, placed in the middle of the action.

Sacha

Pie-O-My - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Corrado is having breakfast with his right hand resting on the table close to a glass of orange juice. When the angle changes, a frame later, the juice is in his hand already close to his mouth.

Sacha

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You know where I was yesterday when you called?.. I was outside a whorehouse, while a guy that works for me was inside beating the shit out of a guy that owes me money. Broke his arm. Put a bullet in his kneecap.
Dr Jennifer Melfi: How'd that make you feel?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Wished it was me in there.
Dr Jennifer Melfi: Giving the beating or taking it?

Proshai, Livushka - S3-E2

Question: In the credits a character is shown as "2 to 5 / 7 to 9". Who is this character and what is the significance of her name?

Answer: I'm not sure which person you're referring to here specifically, but the meaning is someone who makes a habit of constantly going to funeral calling hours (normally 2pm-5pm and 7pm to 9pm) for morbid entertainment or gossip purposes (elderly ladies, for example).

Ryan Grubb

Answer: In "Proshai, Livushka", she's the person talking to Meadow in the hall, while Tony watches, and says to Meadow, "I'm so sorry about your grandmother." She also appears and is credited in s03e05, "Another Toothpick" and s03e13, "Army of One." In s06e18 "Kennedy and Heidi", one of Tony's men points her out (although refers to her as 3 to 5, 7 to 9) and when someone asks why they call her that, he says "she never misses a wake." Although in this episode, Marie Donato is not credited.
