YMMV / The Sopranos S 6 E 12 Kaisha

• Alternate Character Interpretation: When Tony and Phil are on the cusp of burying the hatchet, their mediator, Carmine Jr., feels compelled to bring up Phil's murdered brother at the most inopportune time, which puts a quick end to negotiations and cements Phil's antagonism. Fans are divided on whether this was a genuine bout of faux pas or stupidity on Carmine's part, or if he deliberately torpedoed the meeting with this "accidental" remark for his own reasons.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Phil Leotardo suffers an incapacitating heart attack. His actor, Frank Vincent, died on September 13, 2017 due to complications of heart surgery after a heart attack.
