Also the location is interesting. It is not just a forest, it is the Pine Barrens, which are locally famous for being eerie or haunted; and there are many stories of people becoming disoriented and lost in them (scary campfire stories -- I don't know that visitors to the Pines really get lost there). The New Jersey Devil, for instance, lives in the Pine Barrens. And the quip that Paulie makes in response to Chris‘ statement about being lost in their home state -- “South Jersey” is brilliant. I grew up in North Jersey. And though it is a small state, to someone from North Jersey, South Jersey might as well be Kathmandu!

There's also a weird uniformity to the trees in the Pines -- of course, they're predominantly pines, but spaced kind of evenly, as if planted -- makes the place all the spookier. Harriman is spooky in the way that any dense, Northeastern forest is spooky, not like the Pines.

Valery, after narrowly escaping death at the hands of Paulie and Chris, realized that his life as a mobster in the United States was becoming too ridiculous. He knew that the Soprano crime family would not rest until he was eliminated, and that it was only a matter of time before they succeeded, but he couldn't believe how far the situation had gone. Fearing for his life, but also for his pride, Valery decided to return to Russia, where he had connections in the criminal underworld. Using his knowledge of the American mob and his experience operating in the United States, he quickly rose through the ranks and became a powerful figure in the Russian mafia, but all the while, mocking the absurdity of the situation, telling his associates about the absurdity of the Sopranos, and even adopting a catchphrase "Sopranos? More like So-silly". Valery's success, however, did not go unnoticed by the Soprano crime family. Tony, Paulie and Chris still held a grudge against him, and they were determined to bring him down, but they didn't want to look bad in front of their associates, so they reached out to their contacts in the Russian government and began to gather intelligence on Valery's operations, while pretending they were on a fun vacation, with "a little bit of business". Valery quickly realized that he was being targeted by the Sopranos, and knew that he had to act fast to protect himself. He began to strengthen his ties with other powerful Russian criminal organizations, creating alliances that would make it difficult for the Sopranos to touch him, but also using this opportunity to mock the Sopranos some more, even putting up posters of Tony Soprano with a clown nose on all his associates' offices. Despite these efforts, the Sopranos were relentless in their pursuit of Valery. They eventually discovered that he had a weakness: a young wife and kid living in Russia. Using this as leverage, they put pressure on the Russian government to arrest him and his family, but they also sent a clown suit as a gift to Valery's wife, just to let him know they were "playing along". Eventually, Valery was arrested, but not before managing to hide most of his assets and send money to his wife and kid, even a clown nose for his kid's birthday. He spent several years in prison, but he never revealed any information that could harm his former associates, despite the pressure put on him by the Russian authorities and the Sopranos, always responding with a witty comment or a clown nose gesture. After getting out of prison, Valery moved to another country and start a new life under a new identity, but the memory of what happened in the US stayed with him, always being cautious of any possible retaliation. He never forgot the lessons he learned in the United States, and he used that knowledge to become a successful businessman, living a peaceful life, but never looking back at his past as a mobster, always bringing up the story as a funny anecdote

My problem with the Boy Scouts explanation is that, Slava definitely would’ve known Tony’s people would have been involved. Remember how worried Tony was about all this? “I got a meeting with Slava later, what am I supposed to tell him? I could be walking into a fucking buzz saw!” So if the Russian was found, and had surgery and was semi-functional, clearly there would be ramifications with the Russians. But nothing ever happened.

Then Pauli’s car is stolen,…possibly by Valeri. The idea that Pavel sent Valeri back to Russia to keep business going and no drama or payback with the Soprano crew makes sense. But this is just speculation.

One of the main reasons that I hate the movie El Camino is that it actually told us what happened to Jesse after escaping the compound. Breaking Bad ended nearly perfectly and they had to go and mess it up by doing that. It wasn't a horrible movie it was just painfully OK. Also, if you read any interviews with Vince Gilligan after the fact, you'd know that it basically ended the exact way that he said he'd have liked for it to end, while noting that realistically speaking Jesse almost certainly would have been caught within either minutes or hours of escaping, especially if his first move is to go to one of his best friend's house. In order, they'd check 1) his house 2) his parents' house and 3) his known friends' and associates' houses. I honestly think him being caught could have worked better for the movie, especially if we found out they were able to save Walt vs. him dying at the end. Have Jesse be a star witness and achieve some actual justice against the man, just in time for him to die from the cancer anyway.

Valery survived. Used his special Russian elite commandos skills, to track back Paulies car and went the hell out of that woods. He knew Paulie and Chris were Tony's crew. And he knew Tony was friends of Slava. He got paranoid thinking Slava may have asked the hit to Tony for some misdoing of him Valery. He was constantly drunk and causing Slava trouble. Valert gets devastate with the possibility of his long friend Slava betraying him. And then he just ran away, disappeared from the world with money he had hiding.

Oh please..... everyone knows it was Georgie who got his long sought-after revenge on Tony that night at Holston's, not Valery. But because he's Georgie, on his way out the door, he felt the urge to make a speech to everyone in attendance that he never once believed that ice grew on trees, and that everyone there should just stop spreading those rumors now! Unfortunately for Georgie, this gave police all the time they'd need to arrest him since his deaf left ear prevented him from hearing the sirens that were closing in on him. All patrons inside the restaurant that night unanimously reported that he was captured whilst repeating himself in a rambling speech instead of making his getaway. One of the employees who worked at the now infamous New Jersey diner was later quoted as saying, "If the cops didn't come in when they did, I was about to take that gun right out of his hand and shoot my own self in the head with it just so I wouldn't have to hear this guy talk anymore!"

@@rickmainecali No. Fan service is bullshit. And I say that as one of the biggest Sopranos fans on the planet. The show was legendary because it treated the audience with respect, and in turn the audience respected the show. Pandering is the opposite of respect. Pandering is what you do when you either run out of ideas, or are insecure in your own ability to tell a story. Neither the show nor David Chase owes the fans anything. The show was presented without apology, and it was executed more flawlessly than any other in history. Cheap fan service would have diminished it, and Chase understood that.

Steve Buscemi just said on Talking Sopranos that the shot from the tree, lookin down on them wasn't meant to seem like the Russian was looking at them. He said he needed a wide shot, they were up against time and it seemed like the best thing to do. He did say Chase questioned him about it and he explained why he did it. And ultimately, Chase said it was a good camera shot so he left it.

Sometimes things happen that arent meant to happen and they end up being even better than what was intended. These things happen for a reason. Just because Buscemi did not intend for the wide shot to be a POV from the Russian.... it works perfect because where the hell did he go? The blood on the ground is right there. Being up a tree is the perfect explanation to where he went and the boy scouts still could have found him, which is a lame and lazy way to explain things. Didn't Chase even end up using a troop of boy scouts to find another body by the beach a couple seasons later? The FBI needs to hire boy scouts to find missing persons presumed dead, because they be finding them.

I always imagined he climbed the tree,waited for Paulie and Chris to get out of sight,backtracked (successfully because he was a real soldier,unlike Paulie) stole Paulie's car and drove HIMSELF to the ER. While driving there it occurs to him,"those two Italian candy asses wouldn't have done that unless...Slava said it was ok..... Thinking he was betrayed by Slava (who almost comically, assumes Val to have fallen in a deep hole while obliterated on cheap vodka and doesn't even bother looking and holds a memorial service for him with the whole works complete with empty casket, Tony even attends with a broad from the Bing) Val calls someone else he served with who is higher up the food chain and in Russia "get me the fuck out of this god forsaken country" and goes back to home never to be heard of again.

There’s so many instances where Chase could’ve implemented more humour into certain scenes but just left the audience hanging.

If there was more scenes like the Pine Barrens episode, Paulie and Chrissy could’ve become comedy icons.
