YMMV / The Sopranos S 3 E 12 Amour Fou

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Ralph's actions and motivations are certainly open to more than one interpretation.
  • Did he tell Jackie and Dino about the card heist in order to stoke their egos and drop them like a grenade on the rest of the crime family, hoping they actually would try to rob the game? Or was he just trying to impress Jackie without thinking through the potential repercussions?
  • Did he take to Jackie as a surrogate son, or was he just using him to somehow damage Tony and the rest of the crime family?
  • Was he trying to save Jackie's life during the sit down with Tony? Or did he himself at that point want Jackie dead, but tried to get Tony to take ownership of the order to end his life?
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Carmela speaks up in Hillary Clinton's defense when the other wives insult her. Edie Falco would later play her in Impeachment.
• Moral Event Horizon: Jackie Jr. murdering Sunshine during the robbery for talking too much.
