¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesThe title is a reference to Pax Romana, the long period of relative peace in the Roman Empire from the beginning of Augustus Caesar's reign in 27 B.C. to the end of Marcus Aurelius' in 180 A.D. (And Livia Soprano, fittingly or ironically, shares the same first name as Emperor Augusta's wife and trusted advisor, Livia.)
- Pifias(at around 11 mins) A female extra walking behind Tony trips, almost falls and starts laughing, but finishes the scene.

Reseña destacada
New arrival?
Junior asserts himself as new boss of the family whilst Tony tries to keep him grounded.
'Pax Soprana' is another strong episode with much lauded psychological themes and historical context.
It is an entertaining and compelling character study of Tony dealing with conflict involving Junior in his mafia life and Carmela at home. These plots mirror each other well and make a solid story in its own right. However, the links to previous and future episodes are strong.
The psychological interpretations of Tony's behaviour are heavily in focus and explained in quite simple terms by Dr Melfi and visually in good dream sequences. Little touches like Irina exhibiting the same dismissive, hand waving gesture as Livia when she's upset with Tony is a brilliant touch.
His reference to Augustus is interesting at this early point in Tony's overall character arc that shows his intentions are peaceful wherever possible. This is clever writing that places my sympathy with Tony, particularly when the writers know he will need to go in a more aggressive direction at later points in the show.
That being said, a large amount of Tony's issues here are dealt with through deception of others. He lies to a number of people to achieve a desired outcome, and once more you have to applaud the writers and James Gandolfini for keeping the character likeable.
As ever there are numerous enjoyable sequences of dialogue between characters. Gandolfini has great exchanges with Nancy Marchand, Dominic Chianese, and Lorraine Bracco. These for me are the highlights of many episodes.
Visually it is another cracker, with superb cinematography and editing. Some of the transitions are excellent and so subtle I missed them on my first few viewings of the episode over the years.
I think it has one of the best endings to any episode of The Sopranos. We have been wondering about this perspective on events for six episodes and we finally get a glimpse that is quite impactful.
