Why did Artie lose his touch at cooking?

That was kinography. Artie won.

He hated his life and it bled into hating almost everyone. I was surprised that when you watch the first season he even brings it up to the pastor that he “hates all men”. The first season is so different than any other so normally that seems like it’d be a throw away line

Doesn't he even shoot the rabbit himself? Such a great character growth.

I just realized this guy is from Springsteen's band

I definitely saw this as the ending for Artie's character, even though he shows up a couple times later in the season. Is there anyone else that had a happy ending in the show?

I thought that A.J.s ending was happyish. The SUV, a symbol of the wasteful and materialist life of Tony was destroyed, he got that girl, and said that he felt "cleansed"

Yeah, I guess that depends on what you think happens to Tony at the end.

Meadow. She gets engaged to a civilian child of the mob.

and then he saw his father's brain exploded in front of him and he went back to square one

His arc in that episode was tremendous. It was really his final episode and it wrapped his character up really well. He had a happy ending imo

Patsy probably had a happy ending because his son was going to marry Meadow, which helps his career a shit ton. If you believe Tony dies, then Patsy might have been the next person in line to take the seat unless New York just absorbed everyone.

I just realized that Patsy never really got any backstory beyond early on with his twin brother. I kind of wish there was an episode involving him more later on.

>implying that Artie doesn't get harassed and killed by Paulie and Benny once the show is over

Was he actually a civilian or was he slowly getting involved in the business too? I forget what type of job Meadow said he had but I remember Carmela thinking he was trouble for a bit.

Rare Silvio gif

I can kind of see this happening.
>Tony is dead
>Artie wants the last of the gangsters to fuck off and stop eating for free
>Paulie has already smoked a waiter in a parking lot on a whim and Bennie has already scorched his hand

Patsy is one of the most based characters

He does literally nothing the whole show

that isnt really what the scene was about, he took tony's advice and stayed in the kitchen and rediscovered his love for cooking food which is why he wanted to be a chef in the first place. the whole point of arties character was to be happy with himself, his wife literally says that to him at some point

Nah, meadow's relationship with patsy's son was empty. Only thing they had to say was birth control. Even if they got married it wouldn't have lasted.

What does Paulie have against Artie? I don't think he would try to cause any trouble with him. Bennie could definitely but I think burning off his hand called it square.

That was only because his restaurant blew up, and then he tells the pastor that he felt better once his new place got up and running.

If you live in the Northeast you get endless amounts of these overpriced family-owned Italian places that have the food prepared by Puerto Ricans and serve gigantic portions of cheese-filled pastas drenched in cheap store sauce. Appetizers are fried calamari and cheese bread.

Usually will have fake italian frescos on the walls, etc..

Artie's struck me as that kind of place.

I just respect his resolve and the way he never causes drama, but always does his duty for the family. He knows what life he bought into and he sticks to it. Even when he knows Tony whacked his brother. He is a man of strong will. Always stoic. Also the "it's over for the little guy" line is maybe the funniest of the entire show

Paulie only cares about money. The only thing holding back the gangsters from extorting the shit out of Artie was Tony, with Tony gone they would be on him like sharks.

Yeah, all I remember about Patsy is that he's the suit guy, the small storyline with his twin brother, him hilariously climbing a pole during the Columbus episode, threatening Gloria, and getting into it with Chris on the job site. Just little moments but we don't really get another storyline involving him.

>What does Paulie have against Artie?
nothing but I can see Artie catching Paulie while he's in a "Paulie mood" and there wouldn't be a Tony around to protect him

He lost the passion. It’s the point of his arc in the story. The whole thing about reaching a crisis point, killing a rabbit out if frustration, then having to cook for the couple and going back to his roots was finding his passion again.
