Proshai, Livushka - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Tony's hair length alternates between a short buzz cut and longer in different shots in the scene where Sil, Paulie and Chris visit him after his mother dies.

Soprano Home Movies - S6-E13

Other mistake: In season 5 episode 7, Tony is talking about JFK, and said he was in grammar school when it happened. However, in this episode Tony celebrates his 47th birthday. He was probably born in 1960, so he would have been no more than 3 years old and not in grammar school when JFK was president. (00:26:36 - 00:38:02)

Snag.1

Nobody Knows Anything - S1-E11

Character mistake: When Tony tells Dr. Melfi he feels as though a safe might fall on his head, she replies, "a feeling of pending doom." A woman of her intellect and education should know the proper word is "impending." "Pending" means something awaiting a conclusion. "Impending" means about to occur.

Cold Stones - S6-E11

Deliberate mistake: Tony smashes AJ's front windshield of his Nissan SUV one time with a plastic sports helmet and it leaves a hole 4 times the size. Not only is the scale size of helmet to hole incorrect, but front vehicle windshields don't shatter like that. Modern windshields are made of laminated safety glass, which consists of two curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and bonded into the window frame. It would've taken many impacts to cause such a hole, not one hit. (00:49:00 - 00:49:45)

Knight in White Satin Armor - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Tony says goodbye to Janice by the bus. A black fella in a hat has already walked past them both. But as the camera angle changes. The same fella walks past them again from 5 yards further back. (00:54:14)

Toodle-F***ing-Oo - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Meadow takes the carton of milk out of the fridge and leaves it on the counter. Tony gets up and opens the fridge and the carton of milk is back inside. (00:11:01 - 00:11:53)

Snag.1

Whitecaps - S4-E13

Character mistake: During an argument between Tony and Carmela, they mention her ring, given to her in earlier episode. They refer to it as an emerald. It is a sapphire.

No-Show - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: During FBI questioning, Adriana vomits on the conference table. Bureau Chief Cubitoso is sitting to her left, and in the scene, he has no vomit on his clothes or face. However, in the next close-up shot, he has vomit on his shirt and face. (00:51:23)

Snag.1

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)

Snag.1

Big Girls Don't Cry - S2-E5

Visible crew/equipment: When Furio goes into the massage parlour, Furio is going towards the back, and the door on the side gets flung open. You can see that it doesn't open all the way, and tube lights are visible. (00:40:45)

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.
