Nobody Knows AnythingHBOWelcome to the latest installment of our summer trip through The Sopranos season 1. When I revisited early seasons of The Wire, as well as the whole run of Deadwood, I did separate versions of each review for newcomers and veterans, but over time realized that the newcomers werent commenting much, if at all, and that it therefore made sense to simply do one review. Any significant spoilers for episodes beyond the one being reviewed will be contained in a separate section at the end of the review so long as you avoid that, and the comments, you should be fine. Thoughts on the eleventh episode, Nobody Knows Anything, coming up just as soon its 1. This is our friend were talking about here. Tony. After A Hit Is A Hit put most of the bigger season 1 stories on pause, Nobody Knows Anything presses play on one of the greatest home stretches any TV season has ever had. From here through the finale, its nothing but portents and bad omens, death and destruction, and a tragic blurring of the lines between family and Family. Theres a scene early in this one where Tony goes to see Vin Makazian, who informs him that Big Pussy is now an informant for the FBI. Its notable not just because of the utter contempt and dismissal with which Tony treats Makazian a cavalier attitude that surely didnt send Vin jumping off the Donald Goodkind Bridge, but one that contributed to a larger feeling of hopelessness and being unwanted that put him there but because of the weather and the way the scene is shot. Revisiting the season, Ive been reminded how well the show captures the extremes of weather in this area. When its hot in North Jersey, its like being blinded and punched in the gut when you step outside, and the shows photography nails that. Here, the news that one of his oldest and closest friends has turned rat is among the worst things Tony Soprano could ever hear at least until he finds out what his mother and uncle have been talking about over at Green Grove and the air around him in that scene looks and feels like doom, with the sky full of black clouds and the wind making Tonys shirt impotently flap around him. The news sends ripples through Tonys entire crew, and leads to uncomfortably tense moments like Paulie demanding that Pussy take his clothes off before their unscheduled schvitz. But unsurprisingly, it weighs heaviest on Tony himself, particularly in a great therapy scene where he again turns to Dr. Melfi to unwittingly give him management advice. As Melfi explains the many reasons why someone might be having psychosomatic back pain, the camera pushes in on Tony, and you can see on James Gandolfinis that Tony knows that his friend has betrayed him. He knows it, but he still needs to triple check it, because Pussy is his friend, and friendships still matter deeply, even in the Family. Livia has less equivocation about pushing Junior into a position to order her sons murder. Weve known going back to her counsel on the matter of Brendan Filone that Livia has no qualms about arranging for the death of another human being. And we have ample evidence of how little she likes, never mind loves, Tony. But until now, shes viewed his treatment of her more as an irritation and the sort thats given her license to complain in the way that so clearly gives her great pleasure. But selling her house out from under her and thus seemingly keeping her imprisoned in Green Grove for the rest of her life is one sin too many, particularly when it comes on the heels of Carmela calling her out so bluntly as a manipulator whos far more powerful than she wants anyone to believe. And Carmela is proven absolutely right with the way Livia walks Junior up to the idea of having Tony whacked, even as shes acting so pained to hear Junior discussing such a thing. Theres a lot of miscommunication here, but also situations where multiple things can be true at the same time. Makazian owing Pussy money, and even Jimmy Altieri being a rat, dont automatically clear Pussy of suspicion. And while Tony isnt technically plotting a move against Junior when he meets with other wiseguys at Green Grove, thats only because he already made his move back in Meadowlands, and has been secretly running the Family without Junior realizing it. The episodes final scene proper other than a brief glimpse of Tony contemplating the darkness thats coming, under another ominous sky takes us somewhere weve never been before, Mikey Palmices house, as he fills his wife Jo. Jo in on whats coming next for poor unsuspecting Tony and Mikeys own position within the Family. Mikeys a goon and not nearly as clever as he thinks he is, but its interesting to see him come right out and tell Jo. Jo whats coming. Weve seen in the past, during the evidence hiding binge in The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti, that Carmela knows a bit of what goes on in Tonys business, at least on the level of where the guns and money are kept, but hes never let her in on Family doings to this degree. Secrets are necessary in this line of work, but as Dr. Melfi notes, secrets can bring with them many burdens, physical as well as emotional. If all the members of Tonys family and crew were more open with each other, there would probably have been even more bloodshed as a result, but there wouldnt also be this agonizing feeling for both Tony and the viewer about whats actually happening, and whats coming next. Some other thoughts While most of this episode is deadly serious, watching it so many years later, I couldnt help but watch Tony get into Paulies face to be sure hes telling the truth about not killing Pussy without thinking of Larry Davids stink eye lie detector on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Watch La Casa Nel Tempo Streaming more. Paulies car horn plays the theme from The Godfather, because of course it does. Its the same reason Mikey Palmices son is named Francis Albert, after Mr. Sinatra. Paulies often used as comic relief, for that matter, but this is an excellent episode to show the serious side Tony Sirico could bring to the character. Not only is there his threat against Pussy in the locker room, but the earlier scene where he offers to relieve Tony of the burden of having to directly murder their friend. The Four Days Later title card right before the card game gets busted up is an eyebrow raiser in hindsight. Soprano episodes often covered large swaths of time as opposed to, say, Deadwood, where each episode tended to take place over a single day, and in later years, the show just trusted the audience to follow the passage of time. Its particularly odd here given that the amount of time in between the whorehouse scene is relevant only in that it allows Pussys back to heal slightly, which needed no additional explanation. When Pussy returns to the Bing after getting bailed out of jail, the rest of the crew laughs at his farting, which of course makes me think of my favorite David Chase answer of all time When I asked him why The Sopranos so often leaned on fart jokes, he said, Farts are a part of life. You can quote me on that. I can neither confirm nor deny whether he was laughing as he said it. Thats Karen Sillas as everyones favorite madam, Debbie. A few years before this episode, shed starred in Under Suspicion, a short lived CBS drama that was the closest American TV came to making its own version of Prime Suspect until the actual remake with Maria Bello back in 2. In hindsight, its one of several CBS dramas from the era see also EZ Streets that would have been better served debuting on cable post Oz and Sopranos. RIP, Vin Makazian. He only made a handful of appearances in this season, yet stands as one of the shows most indelible recurring characters.
