The Sopranos

Remember When - S6-E15

Stupidity: Early on in the show Tony had a rule about talking business on the phones. He even scolded Tony Blundeto about talking too boldly on the phone. Now he's speaking with Sil on a phone openly about the FBI finding a body from 25 years ago. If the government is listening in he gave them all the ammunition they need to focus their probe. Even when they speak in code, the government has experts that decipher it and testify to its nature. They even used names which help identify the parties involved. (00:21:16 - 00:22:00)

Where's Johnny? - S5-E3

Stupidity: The cops find Corado Soprano, aka Junior, wandering the streets because he is experiencing dementia. His family doesn't know of his illness yet. The police take him inside their vehicle without searching or handcuffing him. The back of their cruiser has no protective shield. They just put their lives in jeopardy by not checking him for weapons. Just because somebody doesn't pose an immediate threat doesn't mean they won't become violent later and pull a weapon and stab or shoot them. (00:39:34 - 00:40:42)

Mayham - S6-E3

Stupidity: Paulie and an associate just killed 2 drug dealers or stash house guards, and they are rummaging throughout the apartment touching appliances and other surfaces without any gloves. Paulie was previously arrested and did time so his fingerprints are on file. Paulie also used a knife to stab one of the Colombians without any gloves on, and he just left it in his body. The police would have no problem linking him to this crime within a week after forensics did their sweep. (00:03:00 - 00:04:17)

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.

Trivia: Whenever the mobsters in the Sopranos pay they almost always take a wad of cash out of their pocket and pull off the top 3-4 bills and hand it over. If Tony is paying for a pizza he pulls off 3-4 bills. If he's bribing someone he pulls off 3-4 bills. No matter what the amount is for that particular situation, it's always covered with the top 3-4 bills of the cash wad.

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.
