Sopranos one-episode female characters (D-girl Amy, stripper Tracee) = 180
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 12th, 2026 8:51 AM Author: silver bawdyhouse faggot firefighter The hollywood development girl red-head that briefly fucks Christopher, and the pregnant stripper Ralphie kills are both not only smoking hot, but have enough subtlety and character to last seasons.
Sopranos would introduce them and dispose of them in one episode.
They were writing and casting on a level that still cannot be touched by anyone else ever
but still somehow we have years of Charmaine, lol |

it wasnt all home runs. the female napolitana crime boss was lulzy, poorly cast.
but when they really hit, it was insane.
i watched the tracee episode ("university") last night. it was obviously "about" young women and their mistreatment, etc., mashing meadow and the stripper and meadow's roommate and carmela.
But never heavy-handed, never feminist, never moralizing... just telling stories about girls and women. Allowing the characters to breathe and be real and make decisions and have consequences.
Tracee maybe has 20 minutes screentime max, but she is unforgettable, and a completely full and three-dimensional character. |

Date: January 12th, 2026 10:12 AM Author: silver bawdyhouse faggot firefighter idk. its interspersed with tony appreciating gangster films and aims at meta-commentary about movies and tv about mafioso.
Favreau immediately betraying Chris and the redhead pumping and dumping him deflate the main characters well, reminding us that they are, in fact, scum who we all enjoy watching but who have no humanity to us.
a smart show about mafia in the 2000s somehow has to deal with mafia media, and this was pretty well done imo |

Date: January 12th, 2026 9:35 AM Author: motley station dog poop agreed, two episodes is still surprising given what an emotional impact her character had. ralphie laughing at sil slapping her around was maybe the most evil thing he did, including killing her.

|
Date: January 12th, 2026 10:06 AM Author: silver bawdyhouse faggot firefighter i believe she is only in "university" from S3. She is det by the end. Idr if she has flashbacks appearances later, but she is not in the previous episodes
one of the things that made me doubt my own memory is that, as i recall, in her first lines she approaches tony to thank him for recommending that she take her kid to the doctor. I wondered if I missed that in some other episode, but I believe they just start her in media res.
very smartly give her a backstory and context just in a single line of dialogue |
|
Date: January 12th, 2026 10:14 AM Author: motley station dog poop it helps that the characters are so well-developed (or, in tracee’s case, envisioned) that you know exactly how that interaction went. tony was annoyed to be having the conversation and gave her the most obvious brush-off answer, was a little bit repulsed to have to give such obvious advice to a mother, and felt a little genuine sympathy that the answer wasn’t so obvious for her. tracee, for her part, is either (a) so stupid that she actually doesn’t know the answer or (b) so stupid that she thinks pretending not to know is a good conversation starter for her boss’s boss.

Date: January 12th, 2026 9:40 AM Author: Yapping Bronze Codepig Chapel That episode was so long ago that Tracee's baby would now be old enough to be a stripper at the bing.

Date: January 12th, 2026 10:27 AM Author: big-titted cruise ship mother The stuff with Favreau had some really funny shit - him initially thinking Christopher was there from a magazine to talk about his favorite places to eat, "Vince Vaughn wasn't there!", making fun of him and Swingers, etc.
Ralphie laughing his ass off through the window while Silvio smacks Tracee around is hilarious. "Why was i born handsome instead of rich?" |

Date: January 12th, 2026 11:49 AM Author: Khaki nursing home wtf that episode is phenomenal. Just Karen’s death, both for the Bobby Bacala performance, which is amazing, and all the awesome beats like the mob wives watching him crying over her casket and then looking over at their husbands. Ralph’s exchange with Del Redclay shot from Redclay’s POV where Ralph threatens to out Iron Eyes Cody. Carmela’s “whaddaya gonna do” in the parking lot after the speaker that Fr. Intintola hosts drops her mafia diss. Those are all iconic scenes that are regularly referenced today by Sopranos nerds. People hating on that episode are just mad that the mafia guys lose a fight to some bitchy libs. It’s like Star Wars fags who get so incensed about anything other than New Hope and Empire because their main attachment to the story is light sabers making them forget their feelings of insecurity about their tiny pisswyrms.

Date: January 12th, 2026 10:39 AM Author: Adventurous Keepsake Machete "that girl's a thoroughbred"
btw this is foreshadowing for tony killing ralphie over pie-o-mly really being about his rage over him killing tracee and tonys desire to protect innocent, harmless things.
"she was a beautiful, innocent creature and you killed her!" |

|
Date: January 12th, 2026 10:55 AM Author: Yapping Bronze Codepig Chapel And at least according to the Ralphie actor, he was playing it so that he genuinely had nothing to do with the death of the horse. I think I prefer that interpretation, although the show leaves it ambitious. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5821039&forum_id=2).#49582937) |
|
Date: January 12th, 2026 11:17 AM Author: Adventurous Keepsake Machete cr. there's a lot wrapped up in it. tony also sees tracee/horse as meadow, there's that scene at the party where he looks at her and gets flashbacks of tracee. he's battling his internal conflict over being part of that corruption, and how in another world meadow could have been a tracee and exploited by someone like tony.
there's also the obvious power struggle and personality clash between ralph and tony. but that doesn't explain how emotional it was. if he just wanted to kill ralph because he was disobedient and just didnt like him it wouldnt be so charged.
the decision to make it ambiguous was a great one, because it really has nothing to do with the horse. it has to do with what tony projected onto the horse, primarily tracee, and ralph *did* kill her with the same blithe unconcern.
"she was a fuckin' whooo-eer!"
"it was a fuckin' horse, what are you, a vegetarian?"
also note that this is preceded by ralph saying tony doesn't complain when he brings him a fat envelope. tony isn't just upset that ralph was cruel to an innocent thing, he's upset that he's complicit in it. every scene with him and tracee he's disregarding her. being forced to confront his role and thus his hypocrisy is what sends tony off the edge. |
|
Date: January 12th, 2026 11:24 AM Author: big-titted cruise ship mother Don't disagree, but it also ties into Tony's psychological makeup that they're revealing with Melfi. It ends up being her husband i think that nudges her over the cliff with him. How he's basically incapable of improvement/treatment.
One of the things that I distinctly remember is how they mention that people like Tony are savage and uncaring towards adults but have an exaggerated warmth and caring towards animals and children. |
|
Date: January 12th, 2026 11:31 AM Author: Adventurous Keepsake Machete yes, tony is a sociopath. but that behavior is about justifying wanting to believe you are a good person while doing horrible things.
part of this is because tony isn't a born sociopath -- he became one to cope with his mobster destiny. hence the panic attacks. contrast that with ralphie who has no misgivings and actually revels in his cruelty (e.g. giggling as silvio snatches tracee from his house and slams her against his car.) |
