Fans skip certain episodes for different reasons
In a 2020 post to the r/TheSopranos (https://www.reddit.com/r/thesopranos/) subreddit, u/Substantial-Dream-75 (https://www.reddit.com/r/thesopranos/comments/k0x3lw/any_episodes_safe_to_skip/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) asked the online community which episodes they consider safe to skip. In providing their own answer, the original poster wrote, "I've skipped [Season 5, Episode 7] 'In Camelot' on my last couple of rewatches because it is so cringey, but this time I'm making myself watch it, and I realize so much happens in this episode!"
Interestingly, many respondents to this question agreed that the episode in which Tony meets his father's former comàre is required viewing in order to fully understand the character of Tony Soprano. "'In Camelot' is a very important episode because it sort of tells you how Tony is going to end," u/Comprehensive_Main (https://www.reddit.com/r/thesopranos/comments/k0x3lw/comment/gdku3g5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wrote. "If Tony can't forgive his mother, then he can't really move on."
Of course, plenty of other fans offered up a few alternative choices too. The second episode considered for Satriale's proverbial chopping block was Season 1, Episode 10 ("A Hit is a Hit"), an episode in which Adriana (Drea de Matteo) attempts to enter the music business via a band she is promoting. As usual, things quickly turn south for Adriana when Christopher (Michael Imperioli) becomes involved. In regards to this episode, u/boonfarmer (https://www.reddit.com/r/thesopranos/comments/k0x3lw/comment/gdkvhbd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wrote, "It's not essential for sure, but it does contain one of my oft-quoted Hesh lines." Similarly, u/sirfartsalot10 (https://www.reddit.com/r/thesopranos/comments/k0x3lw/comment/gdmxolk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wrote, "I guess it's not super important to the plotline, but there are some great lines (both funny and serious)."
Other episodes mentioned in the Reddit thread for potential clipping included Season 3, Episode 11 ("Pine Barrens"); Season 6, Episode 16 ("Chasing It"); and the dream-sequence heavy Kevin Finnerty episodes.
