Golden Mistakes

In Season 2 we meet Sophia's sister Angela. She is first introduced in the episode "The Sisters" and we see her again later in "A Long Day's Journey in to Marinara". At one point they mention that they are the last left of the family, and that's why they should get along and be friends and blah, blah, blah...

Yet in Season 4 "My Brother, My Father" we meet another of Sophia's siblings, her brother Angelo. Hmmm, I thought Sophia and Angela were the last remaining family...so who's this Angelo? And really, Angelo and Angela? They didn't even try.

Dorothy tells Sophia that the greatest gift she ever got from her Ma was self-confidence, after Sophia had said she had a special gift for Dorothy. Sophia was actually planning on giving her some jewellery.

Sophia: Yeah, I agree, yes. It's a magnificent gift. (Pockets jewellery)

Picture It, Sicily

Boss: So, tell me about your mother's history.
 

Sophia: Picture it. Sicily. 1900. An olive skin woman sets out for the new world. On her journey, the ship is filled with all sorts of diseases like smallpox, consumption, and scurvy. And that was in the business class.
 

Boss: I meant her medical history!
 

Sophia: What did you think I was talking about? The ride was no picnic! The woman jumped off the boat and swam into the ship's bulkhead! That's why they had to put a metal plate in her head which caused her to receive HBO through her eyeballs.

Young Girls

Seriously. How much do I wish it!

Also, technically that is a young version of Sophia. Just sayin' is all.

How much does Lynnie Greene look like Bea Arthur here? So much! Incredible casting, she makes the perfect younger Dorothy. Maybe that's why we never saw a young Rose or young Blanche...they couldn't cast anyone nearly as awesome as they did for Dorothy. Mystery solved!

First Line, Last Line
