It was necessary for my penis

It was to demonstrate that she was asking for it

>>214510635
Crazy that she got her w*mb flooded with rapist sperm and within like 30 minutes of screentime we're just done with it forever

>>214510635
That was just a massive wtf and blueball of an episode.

>>214510635
Why would a psychiatrist dress so provocatively in front of her patients

It was for her to decide not to tell Tony, it was (unironically) a strong woman moment

>>214510782
>letting a rapist go away with rape to he can rape more women is a "strong women moment"
lol

>>214510813
She didn't? Iirc he was picked up pretty quickly and sent to jail, I think it was only like one scene later when Melfi was talking to her husband and they learned the rapist had an Italian name.

>>214510836
He truly was an employee of the month

>>214510836
Brother, half of the fucking episode was Melfi struggling with the fact that the cops went full retard mode and had to let him go...

>>214510836
He got off on a farcical technicality . That was the whole reason she was considering siccing Tony on him

>>214510813
Her decision to not tell Tony is what makes is a strong woman moment. The fact more women could be raped never crossed her mind.

>>214510635
There is something so hot and erotic about female psychologists, just the way they talk and act and sit with their legs crossed

what a underrated fetish

>>214510635
Why was the ending for her character so bad? She was one of the most important characters but they ended her story in the laziest way possible

>>214510635
No, the point was not that Tony’s a bigot, the point is that Melfi rightly denied his offer for retaliation because she knew she would be indebted to Tony and she did not believe in the criminal activity itself

>>214510635
This episode, as shocking as it was, really didn't have a huge impact on the show like whatsoever.

>>214511005
>I COULD had this rapist killed off with just one word, but I didn't do it because... because I am LE STRONG

>>214511036
It was sensible. She was being a thrill-seeking voyeur the whole show, helping a villain, and them at the end she realizes this stupidity and quits it

>>214511027
Are you my retard friend who’s obsessed with The Sopranos and then goes to therapists but instead of addressing his Borderline Personality Disorder he escapes the conversation by roleplaying Tony and talking about how much he wants to fuck her like Melfi

The jew psychologist Carmella sees for one scene is significantly more impactful than 6 seasons of Dr Melfi

>>214511084
>helping a villain
Tony is an antihero

>>214511084
Yeah but couldn't they make it more interesting? Like maybe they could have set up Melfi's growing hatred of Tony from the beginning of the Season 6 or Season 6B. Then it could have culminated with Melfi ditching Tony. Instead they literally set up that plot point in the same episode that Melfi dumps Tony. It felt really rushed and underwhelming.

>>214510954
>>214510962
The point is that she didn't "let him go," she did pursue the arrest.

>>214511036
It was female menopausal situations and she was being very immoral

>>214511116
>roleplaying Tony and talking about how much he wants to fuck her like Melfi
based and schizopilled

>>214511081
>>214511005
>>214510813
Guys why dont you use your brain for a second instead of committing to the dumbass answer the episode was specifically designed to address

>>214511141
He’s a villain by the end

>>214510635
Actually yes. The topic was acttually
>Should I give in to Tony lifestyle and have the guy clipped
or
>Should I do the right thing, and let the law take care of it.

She got screwed over when the cops fumbled and the guy got off scott free. But, she was in the dilemma to go down Tony's route, or remain a professional in the face of violence.

>>214511141
>Tony offers to help someone when he’s in a good mood and wants to bolster his fatherly self image
>Tony later experiences any amount of stress or personal trouble, often caused by himself or business that has nothing to do with the person he previously helped
>randomly decides the favor is a debt and destroys your finances/property/skull
Watch the show. You dont want Tony doing favors for you

>>214511202
villain to some
hero to others

>>214510635
These promotional photos for the show make me kinda nostalgic for some reason

wiseguys of /teevee/, tell it to me straight..

Did Tony got wacked at the end or what

>>214511318
>DONT STOP
>stops
I dropped this slop right then and there

>>214510635
>All it really did was give us another "hey look Tony is kind of a bigot" arc
It gave Melfi her moment of truth where she got to choose maintaining her gay ethics rather than getting redemption on a man and feeling like she was on Tony's level.

>>214511318
That doesn't matter

>>214511349
>why yes occasionally i do accept requests from my clients to murder people on my behalf
Not just a superficial issue really

>>214511349
peak woman morality
>my victory is in moving on with my life and letting the criminal continue his life of evil

>>214511363
Only because the show ended, but of course it matters

>>214510635
I see so many posts on tiktok crying about how "unnecessary" this episode is. Zoomers really think art is bad if it upsets them

>>214511393
Your delusions of grandeur are pathetic

>>214511420
Tell that to the other women that got raped

>>214511403
It wasn't unnecessary but I wish it had a bigger and more visible impact on her character and the show

>>214511451
Say that next time instead of doing this king/pawn shit

>>214511403
Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable... BUT IT SHOULD NEVER EVER SAY NIGGER

>>214510635
I've never seen this shit so why is this scene so ZOMG! ?. Did they actually show a full rape or some shit? Or were idiots just surprised cause it was early 2000's where sex scenes and faggotry weren't as rampant yet?

After all the 4k extreme shit that exists now, this bitch getting raped in the show seems rather tame

>>214511572
>this bitch getting raped in the show seems rather tame
Applies to a lot of other things in the Sopranos. It was very new and revolutionary for the time but a lot of shows have since surpassed it in various aspects and a lot of elements seem "tame" nowadays.

>>214511572
She got tv-raped (clothes on humbing) and left beaten and bloody on a staircase. Tony finds out and offers to kill the rapist for her, she thinks about it a bit and decides no because really that means ordering a hit, being a murderer, and being in debt to Tony no matter if he says she isn't.

>>214511605
clothes-on humping*

>>214511605
Ah so it was just plot characterization shit. OK. I thought it was way worse cause they actually showed the dude nutting in her or her walking to her car with barely any clothes cause it was all torn away.

>>214511662
Her face stays beaten and bruised for the whole episode and she does do a pretty good job at acting like she's being raped, and then acting like she has been raped

>>214510635
Yes that bitch needed to be humbled

>>214510635
>Did they REALLY need to show us her getting raped?
yes

Wtf did they mean by this ?

>>214511572
It's actually a good example of the "un-sexy rape scene". So many rape scenes are shit like sex scenes and lose all their punch, but this one is actually a good brutal uncomfortable one that also creates good characterisation.

>>214510836
Nah bro
The lead detective got a promotion in the middle of the case and took it, literally leaving the rape case, and the people who took it over fucked it up so bad they had to let the guy go free

Pretty accurate desu
A lot of cops just like the paycheck
Majority doesn't actually care about "serving or protecting"

>>214511375
Where did I suggest it was superficial?

>>214511907
keep that bullshit in your containment threads, Brayden.

>>214511907
They are so turned on lol women are so gross

>>214512082
>italian name
>looks puerto rican
What did Chase mean by this?

>>214510766
she want to get fucked by a mentally ill chad

>>214511399
It doesn't matter because even if he lived he would spend the rest of his life in jail. It was made very clear by his lawyer in the last episode.

>>214510702
I had a really hot blonde milf with long legs as a therapist. I just need to argue incel talking points ad nauseam.

>>214513717
>a really hot blonde milf with long legs as a therapist
How do I get this

>>214511511
Didn't they say nigger like dozens of time?

>>214511907
The sound of her heels dragging on the concrete of the parking garage door it for me. Everytime I hear heals clicking it sounds like a shishkebab walking up to me.

>>214511005
Yeah. She always thought she was riding a higher moral horse than her patients. If she had asked Tony's help, she would have lowered herself to a petty mob boss's level. That choice in the end was made out of pride and egoism but looked virtuous on the outside

>>214513741
go to the therapy store and ask for the hot blonde with the long legs

>>214516356
fuck man i just jerked it a while ago

Legit one of the only things Melfi did that was relevant as far as her arc goes

>>214511572
because it comes out of nowhere, the rapist gets away, and then its literally never mentioned again
it was 100% for shock value and bad writing

>>214510635
She's fucking hot the dream where we see her ass gave me a boner

>>214516499
Retard alert. It was its own complete story

I mean. Would you believe her if they didn't show it?

>>214511605
Tony does not find out. He thinks she got in a car accident and then when he asks her at the end
>is something wrong?
She considers and then says NO all dramatically

>>214516499
Not bad writing. Apparently you forget that it was normal for dramas to have singular subject of the week episodes and this one was rape and criminals getting away, the moral conundrum. The dynamic with Tony and her keeping it secret is well done and it's one of the rare times melfis side characters actually have relevance. Of course it's shock but Sopranos doesn't overdo shock at all so once in awhile is good to shake things up

>>214516789
except the rapist gets away to rape more women
and Tony wasn't the only guy who could have done something about the rapist

>>214516812
The cops failed? Who else could've done anything

>>214516830
The husband? The son? Not being a mobster doesn't mean you can't kill your mother/wife's rapist.

>>214516812
So do you follow the plot of the episodes at all or do you just wait for the gunshots before you start paying attention?

>>214516891
The police botched the case and the son and husband whine like faggots who don't do anything. We're supposed to clap because she chooses to not get revenge by telling Tony, treating Tony as the only person who could do anything. This is bad writing because
1. The rapist gets away anyway
2. Tony isn't the only one who could do anything
3. Her family is worthless throughout the entire show
Your shown moving pictures on a screen and think
>wow so deep, that's perfect
even though it flies in the face of logic. It's bad writing because it can ONLY happen within the confines of the show and what you are shown.

>>214516873
Imagine not wanting to turn yourself or someone close to you into a murderer even if there is a good reason to murder someone

>>214510962
Chain of custody is an important rule, otherwise they could just submit anything as evidence

>>214516979
Yes it's clearly better to let other women be raped by the guy who raped my family member while I mope around like a massive faggot.
Her son could have killed the rapist and it could have actually had something to do with the long drawn out pointless conversations the family has about nature vs nuture.

>>214516940
You being a stubborn tard doesnt make it bad writing. The rapist wasnt a monster of the week to show how cool and useful murder is, the episode is about how you really do have a choice to bloody yourself with further violence when something like this happens, or not, and being raped can be not enough motivation to make yourself an accomplice to murder

>>214517042
>just let yourself and others be raped to own the immoral people
It's a shitty plot. Was disliked at the time. Is widely disliked now.

>>214517007
You think its a shonen or something? Tony revenge kills all the time, the development here is that not everyone wants or needs Tony’s revenge killings. She’s not going to get into mob activity just because she was hurt, and its not her duty to extrajudicially carry out the law. Kick and scream all you want, youre retarded if you cant see that angle and why random psychiatrists dont just order hits on people when theyre attacked

david chase itt defending his bad writing

>>214517089
Yeah a lot of stubborn apes out there like you for sure

>>214510635
Considering it was by far the most shocking part of the show and I watched it for the first time last year. Yes. It was horrible and elicited an emotional response from me. That's good tv.

I know you're trolling but there are people out there who are actually this retarded and it blows my mind

>>214517204
I'm not sure that even makes sense here. Tony's not really cast as a bigot in this one, more as the type of guy who you don't want doing favors for you.

>>214511005
It's a moral dilemma between giving in to her base urges and seeking revenge or continuing with her professional life. Giving in and turning to extra-judicial violence would have ruined her character.

If you believe in killing rapists to stop rapes then why don't you go kill a rapist right now? Your sex offender registry is right there, come on.

>>214510635
How much gabagool do you think they gave her for that scene?

>>214517188
>serves up the pussy on a platter
>still doesn't take it

Maybe Mr. McAllister was right about him!

>>214517089
Do you have any idea how many women are raped and dont even report the rapist? The rapist getting away with rape is one of the most realistic things in the show lol

>>214517188
Her boob's cleavage looks like a dirty buttcrack

>>214512362
You're imagining things.

>>214510635
>raped
She obviously wanted it
