Work and family life

Deceased[edit]

• 
  Willie Overall: A bookie shot dead by Tony Soprano with a revolver on orders from "Johnny Boy" Soprano. It was Tony's first murder at the age of 22 (shown in a flashback to 1982).
  
• 
  Faustino "Doc" Santoro: killed after leaving a massage parlor in New York City by multiple gunshots from a trio of gunmen on orders from Phil Leotardo to take over his Lupertazzi crime family boss's title and/or as a revenge for the Gerry Torciano murder and/or as payback for his insults done to Phil.
  
• 
  Unnamed Bodyguard: killed alongside "Doc" Santoro.
  

Title reference[edit]

• 
  During dinner with Paulie and Beansie, Tony says "'Remember when' is the lowest form of conversation", being irritated by Paulie's constant digging up of the past.
  

Production[edit]

• 
  "Remember When" was the career directorial debut of Phil Abraham, a longtime Sopranos cinematographer ever since the first season of the show. Abraham initially started only as a camera operator for the TV series.
  
• 
  Lin-Manuel Miranda, writer and future star of Hamilton and In the Heights, makes a brief appearance in this episode as the bellman with whom Tony and Paulie briefly converse from the car. It was Miranda's first television acting role: he later noted the scene demonstrates his overall lack of experience, as he is visibly looking for his mark as he enters the scene.^[2]
  
• 
  This episode marked the last appearance of actor Vincent Pastore in his role of Salvatore Bonpensiero.
  

Connections to prior episodes[edit]

• 
  Paulie remembers the time Ralphie was obsessed with Gladiator and hit Georgie with a chain, which happened in the Season 3 episode "University".
  
• 
  Tony repeatedly asks Paulie if he told Johnny Sack about the off-color joke that Ralph told about a mole on Ginny "Sack"'s posterior (in the episode "No Show"). Paulie denies this (Paulie actually did tell it to Johnny Sack, in the episode "Christopher").
  
• 
  Tony checks into a hotel in Miami using the fake surname “Spears.” This is the same name Tony uses when consulting a new psychiatrist in "Guy Walks into a Psychiatrist's Office...".
  
• 
  Beansie is a paraplegic and has to void in a bag due to the injuries he sustained when Richie Aprile ran over him in the Season 2 episode "Toodle-Fucking-Oo".
  
• 
  Tony recalls finding a painting of himself as a general at Paulie's house, which occurred in the Season 5 finale "All Due Respect".
