Tony deep down loved Junior and I think Junior loved him too. But both them nikkas were MAD SENSITIVE, like every other gangster on the show. Them nikkas could be joking one sec and ready to kill another the next.

Remember that episode where Junior is starting to go crazy and keeps clowning Tony, saying he was never an athlete. AT the end of the episode Tony asks Junior why don't you love me? And Junior doesn't answer but you can see a tear in his eye. Junior was prideful as motherf*cka. And deep down Tony always wanted Junior's approval.

Look at how Tony always went to Junior for advice when there was a beef. Man their f*cked up relationship was one of the best written and drawn out in the series.

And no, Livia WAS NOT SENILE. She wanted Tony dead. Junior even realized that Liv was playing him later.

It really was. Junior would get pissed and be like "How many times did I play catch with you!!!"

:russ:

Or insult him about never being a great athlete.

:russ: Liva knew all along what she was doing.

Remmy, She told Artie about his restaurant bomb was a set-up by Tony.

and She gave Junior an idea about taxing Hesh when Uncle Jr became a boss.

Damn completely forgot about that. Artie ran up on Tony in the parking lot with the sniper ready to quick scope his ass. Livia was basically trying to use anybody on the show to hurt Tony. She use to tell Carmella Tony was fukking other women too. She was much more fukked up the I remember

Johnny Boy was only ever a captain I think:

The Sopranos Family Tree - Pre Season 1 (1999)

Dimeio was boss until 97 when he went away and Jackie became acting boss, which pissed off Junior because he thought he was above Jackie.

Yea I think johnny boy had a much larger, more profitable crew. He was love by everyone so it was easier for Tony to rise up the ranks. I think junior was just really cheap and not universally loved like Johnny boy

Livia was smarter than people think. Remember when Tony said to her "If you would've been around before or after(can't recall which) those feminists you would've been the real gangster"? Tony knew how his Mother operated.

You know what funny....is that Liva knew that Tony is running NJ than Uncle Junior (Brother -In-Law)....at the same time she didn't like Junior get played caue they're close together but still pissed at Tony for what he did to her.

Like Uncle Junior said to her, She would be a great "Mafia Boss". Liva just so smart than yout hink

real talk i thought it was over the whole junior eats p*ssy thing.

It got the ball rolling. During that golf game I think Junior was makin fun of Tony and tony got mad so he made p*ssy eating jokes in front of Mikey. That got junior real heated and set him off to tell mikey that Tony was seeing a shrink, which escalated everything.

This thread is incredible timing btw, i just started rewatching the series last week (Im at mid season 2 right now)

That what was it..I thought it was Junior said it so now it was Tony said it.... you're right.

Tony is right about her mother. Her mother isn't that stupid, she's a smarter than everybody think.

You know what funny is that......I think Tony learned a lot about his mother games that his father... Janice learned a lot about her father game than her mother....just saying.

Good memories on first two pages..if there was one ep that gets to you, its when the Lorraine Bracco gets raped and almost lost her way by nearly going to Tony but didnt cross the line by the end.

Yeah, Because she doesn't want blood on her hands and Tony might be using her like "You owe me this sh!t".
