Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Feast of the Seven Fishes (Italian: Festa dei sette pesci) is an Italian-American celebration of Christmas Eve with dishes of fish and other seafood.
- GoofsIn the kitchen while cooking dinner, Donna thinks Natalie looks sick and yells at Michael to get her some Brio-shee, referring to an Italian lemon flavored antacid similar to Alka Seltzer. A family as Italian as the Berzattos would never pronounce Brioschi as "brio-shee." It is pronounced "brio-ski."
- Quotes
Stevie: Okay. Um... Listen. Everyone's asking what this... What is the seven fishes or why do we do it?
Donna Berzatto: Mm-hmm.
Stevie: And I think I know what my definition is. Uh, as soon as I think of it. It's a chance to... be together and to take care of each other. And to eat together. And there's seven fishes, which means you have to make seven entirely different dishes. Seven entirely different ways. And that takes a lot of time. And... I think spending that time and using that time on the people that we love is how we show them that we love them. And maybe we eat too much... and we definitely drink too much and we say too much without listening. But... tonight we... we're gonna eat seven fishes... which is absurd. Uh... But we have to take extra time to do it and we have to chew more and we have to listen more. And, uh, we only get to do this tonight one time. So... I, by the way, love it. I love being here. Thank you for having me every year at this. I look... I very much look forward to this. And I love you. I'm very in love with Michelle. And I'm not gay like you guys asked a lot. But I was thinking about what... what you said about bears and how they're aggressive. They're aggressive, but they're kind. They're sensitive. You guys have been so kind to me. You let me hang out with you every holiday. I don't have a family like this and... I'm really grateful that, um, you make space for me at this table and you make time for me on the holidays. May God bless us and keep us safe in the New Year. And please give Michael the strength not to throw that fork. Amen.

This is one case where too many cooks didnt spoil the pot, in an episode about too many cooks spoiling the pot. It's hard not to appreciate the irony.
Star after star make a cameo this episode, my favorite being Bernthal but they were all phenomenal. Well written, the music choices have been perfect all season, I'm truly impressed. I really didn't think they could top the first season but after this season it's safe to say this has firmly cemented itself as one of the best shows on TV.
If I have one complaint, they gotta relax with all the close ups. Too many close ups. I understand the intent, as we were meant to feel crampt in, just not for me. Sign of the times, I could nitpick on some other technical details but when art is this good, guess what? It hardly matters. 10 out of 10.
