One of the great things about sopranos characters is that we like them although they sometimes do awful things. Sometimes, however, there have been instances when they go a bit too far, and I as a viewer think a bit less of them.
Here are some of mine:
Christopher being a complete a&%wipe when Ade confides she cant have kids
Paulie conning the gardner out of 500 bucks
Christopher (again!) at first believing in Ades talentspotting skills, but then completely dismissing them simply because Hesh didn't like the band
What are yours?

Massive Genius, for example, was obviously trying to get into Ade's knickers...the only reason he remained "interested" in Defiler. I think Hesh's oppinion added to Chris' already knowing that the band stunk.
Thats where you're wrong...out there its the 1990s. In here its 1952.

Sometimes, however, there have been instances when they go a bit too far, and I as a viewer think a bit less of them. I think this is exactly what the writer, David Chase does to us. We'll watch 4 episodes and his writing will make the viewer see the human side of someone like Tony, make the viewer relate to him. Then all of a sudden, when someone like Tony is humanized in the eyes of the viewer, Chase will hit us with an episode showing what a lowlife scumbag Tony and his cohorts really are. What David Chase does is bring us back to reality every now and then showing us that these people are really a bunch of greedy no good murdering bastards. It's a brilliant writing technique that Chase uses, and it works. Don Cardi

I got to tell you, Paulie smothering that loudmouth was understandable.

Paulie and Chrissy killing the waiter over a neglected tip. [/QB]
That was the first one that came in my mind

It shows you what a petty lowlife Paulie really is. I crack up when he yells at the old lady and says those are ma's rolls and then when the check comes, he puts the money on the table and says this is for me and ma.  DS
