#TheSopranos #JamesGandolfini #TVReaction
Carm says “Meadow, hi babe” and AJ is like who is it. Top of his f ing class
I remember both me and my wife screaming at the television. "TELL HIM"!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember watching this when it aired. I feel like we ALL wanted Melfi to tell Tony about what happened but as we watch we learn that it’s just not that show.
If Melfi did that and if Tony were to act on it, she would now, in a way, be indebted to Tony and would lose her “power” in their relationship as doctor / patient. Melfi is perhaps the only female in Tony’s life who is completely independent of Tony - she accepts no gifts, no favors, she does not reciprocate any of his advances. She maintains the upper hand. One of the infinite reasons I love this show.
Well said.
Exactly. If she had said something to Tony, he'd do something about it and everything would be fine.
Then later, much later, even years later, it'd get brought up. It would be held over her - even if not directly said..
She would never be able to completely break away from him, professionally or personally. Because there would always be that being held over her to some degree.
Melfi is smarter than that.
stop with all the logical facts lol. we all wanted her to tell Tony.
@@Bejita1979I don’t know if it’s as much “logical facts” as it is solid writing.
This is a particularly strong episode with Melfi facing the ultimate moral test.
and failed…
@@Cassxowary Yeah I have to agree. It would be one thing if the evil bastard was going to be prosecuted and legally punished for his crime, but he was literally let go scot-free. By not getting Tony to kill him, she failed future woman. He's still out there. Never made sense to me.
@@XerrandWhy Not??? Had She gotten Tony to act for Her Tony would have Eventually used it to force her into something Plus she could Not council him in good conscience afterwards.
I hate so much that she passed the test
@@Cassxowaryyou're wrong. Given the strong catholic values of the show it's pretty obvious Melfi forgave her attacker which is "what Jesus would have done" thus she passed the test. She's stronger than 99% of us.
But let me tell you I'm no catholic and her decision pissed me off, can you imagine what Tony would do to that bastard?! Ugh I wanna write a fanfiction or something where she said "Yes. I have something to tell"
THANK YOU! ive never seen any other person get annoyed by Janice saying "layg". I feel so seen lol.
Jackie was the hair apparent 😂
Hahaha
Little Lord Fuckpants!
An extremely difficult scene to watch. Lorraine Bracco's performance is truly tear jerking. Melfi did the right thing not telling Tony.
no she didn’t lol but I get why she did, because she was brainwashed to be a bootlicker
I get why she did it, but she also put more women in danger by letting him go free
Uncle Junior and Bobby together. Chef’s kiss. I love the reactions and look forward to them.
Hey, bonne fête Cristy !! "Back in my day" I had to wait 7 days for a new episode. 😂
"Are they gonna knight him" 🤣🤣.. sorry, but totally caught me off guard!!
The Italian C and G, particularly in the south, are pretty indistinct. So you get capicola -> gapigola -> gabagool, comare > gomare-> goomah etc
Even "capicola" is wrong it s capocollo ...they pronounce words in their own way
they’re not italian though just italian-US americans from (new) jersey…
@@MrOmareffendy there’s different ways, it’s spelt capicollo here
@@Cassxowary I'm not criticizing ,I m just saying how it s spelt
Most powerful "No." on film
You're forgetting about Anakin/Vader
@JBugz777
Yes, & yet spoken so softly...
which somehow makes it even more powerful.
Your dog barking in the background of the last scene of episode 4 was really symbolic tbh 😂
Thought the same thing lol like the hellhounds waiting to eat
"Gabagool" is an attempted transcription of the southern italian pronunciation of the italian "Capocollo", literally head-neck, since those are the parts of meat used in it. You can find english cognates of the word collo in terms like collar, while "capo" for head is also the word for 'boss' in italian and it is the etymological equivalent of the english 'chief' which comes from the french 'chef', as in the spanish jefe, all of them deriving from the latin 'caput', which also becomes the german kaputt.
excellent reaction Kristy! These are great episodes.
What a delicate intro. Thanks for that. I’ve seen this episode a bunch of times, even when it first came out 20 years ago. And I still find it excruciating to watch. One of the hardest things to watch out of any movie/tv show, in my opinion. And at the same time it’s still a masterpiece of an episode.
Imagine watching this show in real time...sometimes months or years between seasons. It was brutal. 😂
she didn’t say a word bc tony would end this dude immediately 😂 also if you listen and watch the series she is someone with principles and probably don’t want to live with the truth (he got killed bc of her)
i think she didn’t tell him what happened bc she knew tony would crush him and probably make him suffer a long death, she didn’t want blood on her hands i guess
I cant get enough of Tony and Dr. Malfi
That was me, too, back then. "TELL. HIM."
Lorraine Bracco said her own father shouted that at the screen too.
I know a lot of people get frustrated by the ending, but honestly it's what makes Employee of the Month one of my favorite pieces of television. Maybe the most powerful single word I've seen delivered. I feel like Melfi is really the only one on the show with any sort of moral compass, and she proves it here by not seeking the path of revenge which is so totally available to her.
it’s not just revenge, it’s a way to protect his future victims… and she just gave up and let him go free…
@Cassxowary would you give up what she'd have to do it? Sure Tony might initially see it as doing justice but a man like him would always keep that "favor" in his back pocket for a rainy day. That would cross an ethical and legal line. The only way that that could possibly work is if she stopped treating him immediately afterwards and even then she's stll an accessory.
It's a wire if you wear it, a bug if you plant it.
Oh!!! This makes sense. Thank you:)
Wow, I've seen many a reaction video to "Employee of the Month", you are the first to put out a warning beforehand. Good call. 👏👏👏
I didn't know if it made sense since I usually assume people have already seen the episodes when they watch the reaction but... I thought, just in case!
Another channel recently did this
@@CristyReacts 👍
This generation seems that they think they know better for what is best for us.
tHiS GeNeRaTiOn
My late wife was in season 4, ep 4. Rose Maggio was her character name. I love the Sopranos.
May she rest in peace.
Hope you and her have many great memories! While it is very tragic she passed at least you can tell others what many husband's wish they could say of their wives ..
"She was in the greatest television show ever created".
She might have been an extra but she did more for the medium than many actual actresses who get prime time roles on crappy shows!
Rip in all seriousness though ❤
She should’ve told Tony. Let justice prevail. Save another 100 women.
Oh man, I get why she didn't but... I really wanted her to!
I totally agree, Christy. The whole mob initiation ceremony is a bit culty.
16:54 no one ever mentions the smirk on livias face seeing Tony fall
Meadow has a personality disorder just like her grandmother. She is trying to generate conflict to enjoy the drama. She deliberately set up the situation for Tony to see her cuddling Noah, then left them alone knowing exactly what would happen (it took AJ about 2 seconds to figure out what was said). Then, when Carmella went to see her, she had Noah in her dorm room, and was disappointed that Tony didn't come because there was no new drama to be had. She became even more agitated then pouts when Carmella refused to engage with her.
One of the best episodes in all of television history. Incredible!
American Football it pretty close to Canadian football. The biggest differences are a bigger field, three downs in a series, twelve players a side, and a larger ball. The best difference is no fair catch.
"She's crazy" ... talking about Janice. Yes, yes she is.
Melfi explains it herself in her own therapy session before the last scene with Tony. Knowing she could but not doing so is better for her, coming from who she is and her worldview. She'd be reversing a lifetime of strict adherence to very particular moral and ethical framework. Breaking that would, in the long term, ruin her life more than the attack. She'd never be able to live with it, she'd never be able to forgive herself and she'd probably get herself killed by eventually going to the police. It's easier to get over a bad thing being done to you than it is to get over knowing you did something you consider to be a bad thing. The viewer's judgement and wishes are irrelevant. Melfi believes in the rule of law, not the law of the streets/jungle. It's who she is.
If she told Tony and let the inevitable happen, she'd be transferring the 'power' that Rossi stole from her to Tony. By exercising restraint and being true to who she is in the core of her being, she truly took that power back for herself.
If I was Melfi I totally would've told Tony. Like you said though. Melfi is too good of a person. Crazy part is that she wouldn't even had to have told Tony anything other than the truth about what happened. Tony would've just taken in upon himself to take care of it. It really sux because stuff like this happens in real life. People get assaulted like this and sometimes the perp gets off with no punishment Free to do it again because the justice system is flawed. Employee of the Month is a hard episode to watch even though I've seen it a bunch of times.
One movie I wish more reactors would cover is "Always" (1989).
36:51 universally I think we can all agree regardless of Janice being a laaaady
She deserves that hit
agreed!
Great video
I've really liked following you with this. It's my favorite series. Episode 4 is a tough episode to watch.
Oh, about meadow dating a black dude. You should know, part of the reason she's with him IS to get back at dad. Meadow is rebellious right now. You heard the way she talked through the first two seasons. "I cant wait to get out of this house" and some other things. Its also why the relationship lasted as long as it did. She knew something was up with Noah. She gets in digs at her dad, "african Americans go to this school and some of them are my friends dad." She's definitely sticking it to her dad. Thats why Carmelia played it perfect the way she did, she knows her daughter is just like her dad. So she knows how to handle this situation. Noah is not just black hes rich, richer than the sopranos. So there's a class problem too. Tony has money no doubt, but not like this. Also he has a working class attitude. So be careful with meadow, shes alot like her dad.
Your commentary is great. It’s not so obtrusive like so many other…hotties. Immediate sub
Lots of people stopped watching The Sopranos during the stretch of episodes 4,5, and 6 because it was so much darker than the subject matter and tone of the first two seasons.
"Difficult to watch"?! Employee of the Month is brilliant and enthralling- Many Saints of Newark is difficult to watch!
For sure it’s brilliant, but SA can be really difficult to watch to people who may have experienced it.
@CristyReacts that scene was difficult to watch for everybody with a heart 😢💔
You're also gonna find a brutal scene in Ep 6 that I can't watch. I do love Employee of the Month as a showcase for Lorraine Bracco...
Is there anyone watching reactions if they've never seen it before themselves?
Surprisingly yes!
the fact “oops I did it again” while she was there though,
and she went to eat there knowing he works there…
and she definitely should’ve told him but I understand why she didn’t… (not breaking the social compact) even if she insulted pigs for no reason too… wouldn’t call her a better person but ok
and janice had to end him because he was abusive and a big problem so good riddance
5:50 so Chrissy just got "made" structure of the American Mafia: associates these are not members aka "made men" they basically are grunts Chrissy before this episode was an associate he was associated with the "family", associates strive to be "made". Soldiers are "made" members of a family. Chrissy is now a soldier, perks of being a "made" man : those of equal status or lower must show you respect no touching punching disrespectful language ect toward them "made men" are sometimes referred to untouchables even the wrong word to a made man by a non made man could lead them to be killed it's all about respect even people above them should treat you with respect but corrections even harsh from someone higher than you can be allowed in certain situations. Next up the food chain are "Caporegime (Capo or Captain for short)" are the like supervisors of a crew here Paulie is a Capo a crew is typically made up of soldiers and associates, Capo's report to the next up the food chain. The Underboss, currently to the FBI Tony is the Underboss but in reality Silvio is the underboss. Typically the underboss has a peer called the Consigliere aka a councilor to the boss at this time in the show Silvio is both the underboss and Consigliere. At the top of the food chain is the boss at this time in the show Tony is the boss of the family and Junior is the "Front Boss" because he is being used by Tony to make the FBI think that Junior is the Boss thus taking the heat from the authorities away from Tony. But typical structure is associate > soldier > Capo > under boss and consigliere are equals and then the boss.
I've heard it explained two different ways:
A. Soldier = made man
B. Soldier = not a made man yet but can become one
Associate = can never become a made man
Got it! This is so interesting
Gabagool is what older Italians call it. my mother would call it that. at a deli counter you would normally have to ask for capicola thou unless it was an italian deli in the tristate area (NY-CT-NJ)
Employee of the Month was a very hard episode to watch, and honestly the ending of it left me speechless. I felt so bad for Melfi the rest of this show
I've watched this series multiple times and seen a lot of reactions. This is the first time I've seen a warning about "Employee of the month" Good for you! That's taking care of people
Everyone in the world wanted Dr, Malfi to tell Tony so bad
Can you imagine how that would have gone down?
It was enough for Melfi to have the power and not use it. She was ultimately in control and empowered.
You have a lot of compassion for these gangsters. You want them to continue their gangsterness. :))
You cut out the funniest line, soft drinks of choice.
Yeah it's a rough scene to watch, I love the sopranos but every time I know of someone that it's going to be their first time, whenever it gets to season three I try to warn them, its interesting how our brains are wired to be more palatable with people getting a bullet in their head vs being assaulted, with that said I understand why Dr melfi didn't say anything to Tony, she showed professionalism and more importantly you NEVER want to owe the MOB a Favor, she did Not want to be indebted to Tony
It’s easy to say tell Tony but then you have blood on your hands and your compromised because if push comes to shove you know Tony committed murder in your name and now he owns you and become at some point a liability……
I think almost everyone who’s watched Sopranos wanted Dr. Melfi to tell Tony about Jesus Rossi. I actually saw a video not to long ago where a guy breaks down her decision not to tell Tony, and that even though it’s what we all wanted it would have forever changed who she was if she sent Tony after him. Also, Tony would almost definitely have killed the guy and created another huge problem for himself.
Agreed! Someone mentioned how she's be indebted to Tony forever, and nobody wants that.
@@CristyReacts That probably is true, and definitely is true for everyone else he's helped, but I feel like if there is anyone that Tony wouldn't hold that over it would be Melfi. I might be giving him too much credit though.
Melfi would never tell Tony and cross that line. Be part of a beating or a murder. Legally and morally. No matter how much we wanted her to.
And yeah, I grew up in these parts and pronounced leg as “Laage”
Um miss, Scarface is a must watch too 😮
I have seen this episode several times, and each time I want her to tell him, but I know why she doesn’t
I forgot how dark Season 3 was…
Damn, that pizza delivery guy wasn't playing. Poor Melfi. Dope reaction beautiful.
don't worry, ralphie and johnny sack were only talking about gladiator
LOL
15:17 you really need to watch Godfather and Godfather part 2, young Junior is in Godfather part 2.
Wait, do you mean young Dominic Chianese or the actor who plays "young Junior" in this episode?
I will definitely watch The Godfather down the road!
Dominic Chianese plays Johnny Ola in the Godfather part 2. When you watch it and Johnny Ola is talking close your eyes his voice in unmistakeable!
If Dr Melfi had gotten Tony to do this deed for her Not only would she put herself down moraly on his level BUT Tony would eventually use it to get together with her in thevfuture It'd give Tony power over her. You have to think it through.And she broke down when the dog started varking in the background
Barking
Imagine if Malfi let it slip to Tony about what happened, he could find the guy and make him pay. Hello 👋🏻
I guess you find out what kind of person you are in episode 4. Personally, because i often feel punishments don’t fit crimes, I wanted Jesus to get ripped to shreds, just like her life and confidence will be. Remember shouting ‘TELL HIM’.
Reacciona a THOR LOVE AND THUNDER
Lorraine Bracco at her best. Hard episode but her performance is top notch.
She is so talented!
@@CristyReactsI'm not going to pressure or persuade you but you really, really need to see her in Goodfellas. Just saying 😊
Wait until "University".. I had to skip it on my last rewatch.
👍
As a survivor episode 4 is always triggering. Only watched that scene once. Can’t do it again. I’ve seen a lot of movies and shows that have the r scene but idk this one is the worst I’ve seen. It has zero music in the back, no cuts, just feels like it lasts forever.
Just imagine if Tony walked in on THAT happening ….so many “what ifs” from this episode
Thank you for sharing, Sofia, and I’m so so so sorry that you’ve been through something like that. The scene is so raw, like you mention, no music, no cuts, just SA. It was shocking to watch, and I can’t imagine what it would feel like as a survivor.
❤❤@@CristyReacts
💖💖✌✌🤗🤗
What is great about this show and this episode spesifically its projecting why people needed mafia in the first place. Police the legitimate order let go of the rapist cause of some paperwork mistake. In this kind of situations people needed mafia. Thats the reason of why mafia started in Italy, sicily spesifically. I m not saying mafia is a good thing but its more complex than it looks.
Can we get white collar once you finish sopranos or willing to start a new show
Oh, I don't think I've heard of White Collar before. Tell me more!
Where is wan wan davision
We start WandaVision next week!
@@CristyReacts ok
I just watched this episode myself. The single most emotionally devastating episode of TV I have ever seen. The episode was fantastic, but part of me wants to block it out of my mind because of how horrifically traumatising it was. For me, this was more than just an episode of TV, this genuinely scarred me and im struggling to get it out of my head. The acting was fucking oscar worthy imo.
I was dreading this episode because it's one thing to watch as a man its messed up but witnessing a woman watch becomes heart wrenching.
So sad, individuals serving society that does not exists, so sad
I would have told Tony. For most us men, Sex offenders are the lowest of the low. Lower than murderers.
"the rest of the world should just work around his retrograde, racist blah blah blah"
Me and many other young white men:
*Yes*
It's sad watching James Gandolfini eat himself to death over the course of this show.
I Definitely wanted more episodes about Dr. Melfi, but this is not what I had in mind🫣🫢😱, also your dog barking during that last therapy scene was a nice touch😉👌
