Toodle-F***ing-Oo - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Janice goes to Livia's mailbox and retrieves the envelope with her disability check, the words "TOTAL DISABILITY" only appear on the check in the close-up, but not in the previous shot. Additionally, the silver screen door is gone between the first wide shot when Janice pulls the mail out of the mailbox, and the next close-up as Janice looks through the mail in her hands (she did not open the screen door between shots).

D-Girl - S2-E7

Visible crew/equipment: While Sal and AJ are at the batting cage, Matt starts telling AJ about the German philosopher Nietzsche. As the camera moves backwards in this dolly shot, we can see two metal T-marks on the ground, as well as the dolly track at the left side of the screen.

Knight in White Satin Armor - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: In the morning, while Janice waits outside in the car, Livia starts to criticize Tony, and when Tony rushes out of the house, in the interior shot there’s a screen door. Then, in the next exterior shot, the screen door has vanished, and now the front door has a deadbolt cylinder as well as a door knob back plate.

House Arrest - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After Carmela heads out, Tony grabs a Dove bar from the freezer and takes a seat at the counter. When Tony unfolds the Waste News, its front page changes between the close-up and side shots. The same thing happens between shots when Tony opens to the second page of the newspaper.

House Arrest - S2-E11

Visible crew/equipment: After the loud crash is heard, everyone rushes to the front door of Satriale's. Just as Paulie and Tony open the two front doors in this exterior shot, the reflections of the camera and its operator are visible on the store's glass, at the right side of the screen.

Bust Out - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Tony lets AJ steer while they're aboard The Stugots, in two long shots, AJ is wearing a PFD just as their boat's wake capsizes a small rowboat, but in all other shots, he's not.

House Arrest - S2-E11

Visible crew/equipment: When Catherine puts on Corrado's CPAP mask/headgear while he's asleep, it then cuts to the stove at Satriale's where Paulie is cooking up sauce, and at the start of this shot, a red tape mark is visible on the floor at Silvio's feet.

Big Girls Don't Cry - S2-E5

Visible crew/equipment: When Furio goes into the massage parlour, Furio is going towards the back, and the door on the side gets flung open. You can see that it doesn't open all the way, and tube lights are visible. (00:40:45)

From Where to Eternity - S2-E9

Other mistake: When Tony comes into the bedroom to see Carmella after he and Pussy kill Matthew, the bedroom door seems to be on the wrong side of the room. (00:49:48)

Proshai, Livushka - S3-E2

Question: In the credits a character is shown as "2 to 5 / 7 to 9". Who is this character and what is the significance of her name?

Answer: I'm not sure which person you're referring to here specifically, but the meaning is someone who makes a habit of constantly going to funeral calling hours (normally 2pm-5pm and 7pm to 9pm) for morbid entertainment or gossip purposes (elderly ladies, for example).

Ryan Grubb

Answer: In "Proshai, Livushka", she's the person talking to Meadow in the hall, while Tony watches, and says to Meadow, "I'm so sorry about your grandmother." She also appears and is credited in s03e05, "Another Toothpick" and s03e13, "Army of One." In s06e18 "Kennedy and Heidi", one of Tony's men points her out (although refers to her as 3 to 5, 7 to 9) and when someone asks why they call her that, he says "she never misses a wake." Although in this episode, Marie Donato is not credited.
