It has been more than two decades since the Sopranos adorned our screens for the first time – but the milestone HBO Series still finds ways to surprise his fans.
And this time it is not a plot twist or a cryptic dream sequence that sets social media on fire.
Instead, fans cannot get enough of a shockingly produced scene from season 5, episode 10, entitled Cold Cuts, which is dubbed online on a large scale as ‘the strangest editing in the entire show’.
The moment in question contains Carmela Soprano – Tony’s elegant but long -suffering woman – played by Edie Falco.
She has a final, uncomfortable meeting with school conductor Robert Wegler (David Strathairn), with whom she shared a short and fatal romance in the season.
After a tense confrontation a few episodes earlier, in which Wegler accused Carmela of the use of intimacy as a means to manipulate his assessment of her under -performing son AJ, the relationship ended abruptly.
But in cold cuts, the two paths crossed again at school. Clearly uncomfortably Carmela flapped out: “I’m going back to my husband.”
The camera then stuck on Carmela who turned away from away.

After running away in painful slow-motion, Carmela Soprano is hung in the middle of the row while the screen freezes

She walked away – after which the scene inexplicably shifted in super -dish movement, complete with a strange, breathless silence.
Viewers looked at her pace at an almost glacial crawl before the image froze abruptly in the middle of the stride.
Then a cloth transition slid over the screen, PowerPoint style, in the next scene in a lake where other characters relax.
Cue bewildered Sopranos fans on the internet.
‘Is that the Ol’ PowerPoint -Wipe? ‘A viewer early on X (formerly Twitter) and recorded the collective bewilderment.
Another joke: “Edited as a film project that I made for the class in the 8th class.”

Subsequently, a cloth transition takes us to three of the other characters of the program huddled around a lake

Carmela Soprano is the wife of New Jersey Mafia -Baas Tony Soprano (Edie Falco and James Gandolfini depicted in 2000)

The message, shared by X user The Sopranos Guy, has yielded thousands of likes and hordes of confusing comments




Fans of the show were quickly expressed their surprise about the unusual editing choices from the series that is generally considered the best of all time
One commentator wrote: “I thought my power was froze the first few watches,” while another echoed, “I thought it was froze first.”
And another chimde in: ‘That was an old school way to end a storyline. “And that was it! Wrap it on guys!” ‘
Another viewer suggested that the deliberately strange operation was a wink for the public, so that Carmela’s acute shame and the bewildered reaction of Wegler on the emotional bomb she had just dropped, symbolized.
A few cinephiles with eagle eyes were fast to recognize potential influences.
The transition, they argued, is perhaps a stylistic nod to Akira Kurosawa – the legendary Japanese filmmaker who is known for pioneering of the seesaw transition – or even Star Wars -Maker George Lucas, who famous the technique for his galaxies Saga.
Yet most of them agreed that the moment feels wild out of the pass with the otherwise tight, modest direction that the show is known for.
“First director became cute. Never returned. Great episode, however, “a viewer joked.
Cold cuts remain a common mention in the series, which delves into themes of family resentment and emotional repression with typical Sopranos Flair.
But that one strange operation has somehow succeeded in increasing the deeper emotional beats of the episode – even if it was temporary.
Whether it was a deliberate stylistic choice or an over -style moment in the editing suite, the transition has now entered the annals of Sopranos survival.
And celebrated in a show because of the layers of meaning and artistic subtlety, perhaps the strangest turn of everything that fans are still debating about a cut in the middle of the season.
