Tony's mom in S3 of The Sopranos is incredibly bizarre

Wow I didn't know the actress had died.

It must have been really awkward to do the scenes where they talk about how she (her character) was a horrible person.

They've clearly tried to stictch together something coherent from either unused footage or possibly even stuff from prior seasons. But it just hasn't worked. It's super disjointed. It hasn't got the natural flow of a conversation. It would have been better to get a sound-a-like to at least fill in the gaps when the camera wasn't on her.

I think the whole thing is really bad. From the weird inhuman compositing to the awkward reuse of old lines that don't really make logical sense or further a conversation between her and Tony.

It doesn't even add anything to the shows plot line and just makes for a bad sendoff for the character. If they did it for people new coming into the show that season I suppose it makes some sense but it's pretty noticeable for me watching the series.

Show is great otherwise, obviously

Im watching the series for the first time (near the end of season 6 now) and noticed it like in the first second. The whole episode felt extremely rushed and unfinished... but yeah it's understandable under those circumstances.

Yeah, that scene should have been cut out. I noticed something was off when it was first aired.

I'm now up to season 5 and honestly, there's sloppy editing all over the place with this show. It's still brilliant for sure, but I see weird dubbing, odd low-frame rate slow motion, out of place amateur scene wipes, and a bunch more things that really stand out.

Also the dream sequences are unanimously monotonous.

I was shocked these business "signs" made the cut, which I'm 99% sure was done in MS Paint

It stuck out like a sore thumb even at the time. I get why they felt they needed to do it but it would have been less distracting to just have the character die offscreen between seasons.

I can't even tell on my phone. Dialogue is still too notch

Well what did you want them to do? Have her sit there all quiet? Like a MUTE?

I didn't notice it when I watched it on DVD, then my friend told me about her passing and the use of CG. I haven't watched it since.

The lighting on her face is all wrong! Why did they do this!!

This right here. The show was really rough in alot of ways.

I keep noticing newspapers where they just literally put stickers over a real paper. It looks like something out of a high school play .
