* Tony telling Paulie, Silvio, and Christopher that he's been in therapy and that Junior is using that as an excuse to get rid of him, fully expecting them to have an issue with it. Much to his surprise, only Christopher does. Paulie and Silvio are supportive, with Paulie admitting that he himself saw a therapist before while Silvio says he trusts Tony enough to handle discussing with discretion.

* When Paulie returns from jail, he's greeted warmly by his friends, who even go as far as to play his favorite song "Nancy" from Frank Sinatra. Paulie is genuinely touched by the gesture, even taking a moment to take it all in.

** Special mention for the look on Tony's face when a goat enters the stable. He just smiles and enjoys the company of two animals, implying that this is where he feels most happy. In another life, Tony may have been much better off working with animals.

* At the end of "[[Recap/TheSopranosS4E5PieOhMy Pie-O-My]]", the titular horse falls ill during the night and Ralphie refuses to help her. So Tony rushes to the stables, pays the vet's bill himself, and sits on the hay with her in her stall, petting the animal and reassuring her that everything would be alright. The scene provides the page image.

* In its own odd way, the ending of "House Arrest", especially upon repeat viewings of the show. Tony returns to Satriale's after having been absent from the crew's hangouts all episode and is warmly greeted by Chris and the others. The mobsters themselves are all relaxing and enjoying life; Paulie is recommending moisturizer brands to Silvio while tending a pot of gravy, Pussy and Furio are looking at nudie mags together, and Chris is playing cards with Hesh. When they hear a car crash outside and recognize one of the drivers as a jerk who's always speeding, Tony sends Sil and Furio to bawl the guy out, with Furio specifically yelling at him for driving recklessly in a neighborhood with kids. Then Agent Harris swings by to introduce his new partner to Tony and have a friendly chat about the Nets and the Knicks. The camera slowly pulls out to show the rest of the crew hanging outside the shop as Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" plays. More than a few [=YouTube=] commenters have noted that, in retrospect, this is the high point of the series for everyone present.
--> '''mjremy2605:''' Such a beautiful scene. Italians doing their thing, outside a pork shop, in an old Italian neighborhood, everyday activities buzzing around, Agent Harris stops for a chat, Paulie tanning his chin, Furio lapsing into Italian when provoked, the smell of meat chops, the golden warmth of a late afternoon sun. This could be the forever ending of the series. It was such a perfect moment in time when they were still alive, and you could forget they were gangsters and just chillin' like Italian guys in their man cave.

* Creator/EdieFalco's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGDPmVREhrc tribute]] to Creator/JamesGandolfini at the 2013 Emmy Awards, the first to be held after his death.
* Creator/LorraineBracco revealed in a ''Series/LateNightWithConanOBrien'' interview that in 2004, Gandolfini received a substantial salary increase. He set up a charity organization just so he could share his new wealth with his co-stars.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bZYqFsU72Y This 2022 Super Bowl commercial]] was directed by David Chase to be a continuation of sorts to ''The Sopranos''. The fact that a well-groomed AJ warmly hugs Meadow shows that even 15 years after the infamous ending, AJ appears to be doing well for himself and both he and Meadow are still on good terms.
