I'm up to the 4th episode of season 2. I'm digging the show and everything. But the cast is so big I'm finding it hard to follow what's going on. It's also getting hard for me to not look up what happens in certain story lines. ex: I looked up to see if Little Pussy came back after they thought he was wired.
All in all it's a good show but I'm finding it confusing and hard to remember names.
Sorry for any spoilers, but we are talking about a show from the late 90s.

Big Pussy. Little Pussy is Pussy Malanga yeah. But dude who they thought was wearing a wire (he had a bad back) was Little Pussy.  He went missing before Tony found out it was Jimmy wearing the wire. He thought Little Pussy was dead, then he shows up a few episodes later. Turns out he went on the Lamb to Puerto Rico to see a back specialist. |

"Little Pussy" is Pussy Malanga, who Junior wanted to whack at Artie's restaurant in the very first episode |

"Little Pussy" is Pussy Malanga, who Junior wanted to whack at Artie's restaurant in the very first episode Ok now I'm even more confused. 1. I thought the guy in the pic was the guy Junior wanted whacked . 2. When I type in Little Pussy in google images that's the pic that comes up. Artie is the bald guy with the wife that hates Tony right? The last ep I saw, Tony just allowed his sister and Mother to move into His mothers house. Also The guy I thought was Little Pussy was driving in car with some dude and he said he's an informant. |

Little Pussy is only briefly show in a short clip on the news in the pilot episode, when he comes back to New Jersey and Junior wants to kill him. he is only mentioned one other time in the series, which is the first episode of Season 6, Part I. Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero is Tony Soprano's best friend, AJ Soprano's godfather, and a member of the Soprano Crew in the DiMeo Crime Family. in season 1, crooked cop Vin Makazian (who happened to have a large debt owed to Pussy) told Tony that Pussy was informing for the government. when Pussy gets suspicious of Tony and Paulie "acting weird" towards him, he goes into hiding |

Who are they? Matthew Bevilaqua and Sean Gismonte, two associates of Christopher on a side note, Lillo Brancato Jr, the actor that played Bevilaqua, has been in prison since 2006 for burglary when he and his friend tried to break into house and ended with his friend getting into a gunfight and killing the home owner, a cop. |

{Spoiler}Livia Just died. As an audience we're supposed to hate her right? Because I can't stand her. And why did Tony act as if his mother was dead after he learned she put a hit on him. But he's was cool with Junior right away? |

the plotline wasn't rushed. Tony hated her more than Junior because she was the brains between the two of them and manipulated Junior into trying to kill Tony. also, while Junior was his uncle he was a also a business rival so there was always a possibility it could end with one trying to kill the other, where as with Livia that's his mother who was supposed to love him and look out for him.
as for the plotline, it wasn't rushed, it was scrapped altogether Nancy Marchand. season three's story arc with her was Tony trying to reconcile with her and make peace so she wouldn't testify against him about the airline tickets. once she died, they brought back Janice (who was originally just going to be in season two) as a regular to replace her and be the one to frustrate Tony

What I'm really liking is the fact that I'm watching a show about Mobsters who steel, kill and beat people. They are the bad guys and yet I'm rooting for them. {Spoiler}My girlfriend even teared up a little for Silvio when they had to whack Big Pussy. Also. Even though I hate the Ralphie character. I'm loving that Joey Pants is in this show. Also I haven't seen much of Benny but when he walked into the Pizza Place with Christopher, I turned to my girlfriend and said "Check it out. It's Doogie Howser's neighbor Vinny" |

Someone already answered it. Also I'm almost done season 3. I saw what happens. Just didn't understand why Tony was Cool with Juinior. |
