Anyone else been a fan throughout the years?
Wondering if anyone has any series finale predictions over the next two weeks?
Personally, I hope the show goes off the freaking deep end and Christopher comes back cleaver style and kills everyone.

lol
-
A bloodbath would be approriate. And fun to watch. Kill em all off I say, and make the irritating ones die horribly.
-
My daughters call me every Sunday night to make sure I dont miss it.
Tony Jr. kills pops...................

There will be an all out war between Tony and Phil. It will be old school, mob war car bombings and drive-by's of the capos and their crews. The Feds will tell Tony the 2 arabs were Al-Queda and tied to BinLaden. He stopped an attack on New York.
Meadow announces she's pregnant, getting married and going to UCLA for Law School. AJ winds up with the blonde chick he saw pulling her hair out in the metal ward and runs off to Seattle.
Tony and Phil have the final showdown and Phil's little loudmouth minion blindsides T in the fight. Tony is laying on the floor, blood flowing from his head barely awake. He sees Phil standing over him with a loaded pistol. Phil makes one of his stupid jokes and T tells him to F off. Phil pulls the trigger.....
Tony wakes up in a bedroom confused, he stumbles into the steamy bathroom where the shower is running. He opens the shower door and out steps the Russian chick he had an affair with 10 years ago.
He suddenly realises the whole thing was just a dream.

I bought the first 6 seasons on DVD, been watching em this month. Got about 5 episodes of season 6 left to watch. The first 5 seasons had a flow to them, the first 3 episodes of season 6 I was wondering what happend? That flow was gone and it really showed how much of that series revolves around Tony cause the rest of the cast in the lime light looked quite pale in comparrison. Can't get HBO in Iraq so I'll just have to wait till I get home to watch the last season...
-
I don`t get it.
One of my daughters was a virtual cheer leading section for this show when it came out. At that time I was tripping across the country hither and yon and wasn`t going to pay the price just to catch it every once in a while. So...........I now have the dish thingy and I get all excited about the Sopranos.
I was waiting on the first episode like a dog waiting for Alpo.
Show comes on ........first ten minutes I`m going OK, OK it`s just getting warmed up. Twenty minutes in I`m yawning thinking It will get up to speed any minute. Forty five minutes in I`m in boredom beyond description. End of show I`m simply WTF.
Tried watching it a few times and found it is about as exciting for me as watching the paint dry.
-
I followed the first season and some of the second but then i sorta forgot about it. One of the better shows around in that category.
-
<---- misses deadwood.
:(

The Sopranos is a show you definitely have to know from the start. I missed the first two seasons before I started watching regularly. It took me a year or two to really understand the show. Now, I love it.
Having said that, this last season has been pretty droll. I hope David Chase has something special cooked up for the last 2 hours, but I wouldn't be surprised if it played out like I predicted.
Yeah 88, I miss Deadwood too. *#@%suckers!

YOU !^$% SUCKING MOTHER *$&(@ER PIECE OF $&*%, BAST8)D *($^.
Ahhh....Deadwood.
And yea, Sopranos has really gone down hill IMO. The director/producer/writers are trying to make this an intelligent show, when reality is, all the fans want to see is people getting killed. Theres some cool symbols and connections than are applicable to the entire series, which is nice...But like I said. All I really wanna see if Tony Soprano standing over another goomba, with his jersey accent saying you *)^)* *^)*_(. BANG!

The Sopranos -- As The World Turns for testosteronites. Yeah, it's had me from Hello too.
The Sopranos and their ilk are such creeps. Hopefully the last episode wipes 'em all out, like Orkin does vermin.
But odds are they'll just continue turning on each other. Not enough for fratricide, just enough to leave a couple survivors for a sequel.
Their appeal is so transparent. Everyone who has trouble playing with others can relate (BANG) to the Soprano (BANG) Solution (BANG BANG).
We study our enemies to survive them. And oh the lessons we learn from The Sopranos.
Sad that the greater general society can't seem to stomp 'em out for the greater good of all good citizens everywhere. Would be too much to hope for something like the shadowy FBI trackers finally gunning 'em down at the Okay Chorale.
That would be Elliot Ness and a different series.
The best ending would be the conflicted shrink, lying in a pool of her own blood after Tony finally snapped at her answering his questions only with more questions, feebly mouthing her last words, not supplicating the Great Beyond, but true to her profession to the end: "Now, how do you feel about what you just did to me?"
Then Tony slipping on her blood, crashing through the window and crushing his clueless family who have thrived on his banditry and extortion. Wipe out the whole DNA for a real finale.
Can't wait for the sequel! :confused:
-
I've never watched a single episode of The Sopranos.
-
Well, gotta admit this last season is rather a letdown. I suppose a whirlpool of grim is natural to lead down to the finale.
Big mistake plotwise is having the son in tedious shrink sessions like his father. Having the son's shrink male doesn't even add any sexual tension.
Both kids continue to cause Tony problems, and they cause fights between husband and wife. Pretty realistic, huh?
Probably most interesting is watching the pack cool as their alpha's power wanes. Still careful to defer, but they clearly sense a change is imminent.
-
A buddy of mine suggested that Tony is going to flip for the FBI. At first I thought "NO WAY!" After thinking about how self centered he is though.... It could happen. The ultimate let down.
-
But first Tony is going to get one of those Hannibel Lechter gags and fasten it on his wife.
-
Things look bleak for Tony in the finale Sunday June 10. He's holed up in an upstairs bedroom somewhere cradling his AR-15 or something like it.
His imported hitmen botched an attack on rival Phil, who quickly retaliated by eliminating some of Tony's main sidekicks. It's curtains for the series, and maybe Tony.

Side note, thats the rifle Bobby gave him earlier this season.
-
Good memory. Wonder if there also will be some grenades or other surprises?

Me neither.

I'm surprised that Tony did not empty his hidden gunsafe in the living room column. They showed Carmella opening it a few years ago and it had AK-47's, grenades and assorted handguns.
I noticed David Chase wrote this and the final episode. It shows. I was really shocked that Sil got hit. I expected him to be the last man standing with Tony. I'm sure it will be Pauly Walnuts that goes down swinging with T now.
-
Tony can't die.
The feature film is still under development.
and Carmela with the AK was the funniest scene in all of the series :)

Pauly has always been my favorite side charccter. I loved it when he got spooked at the sieance. Hate to Sil go though.
-
Sil's not dead, yet. He's in the hospital.
-
Ahh.
I don't have HBO since I moved to Sulphur Springs. The last new episode I saw was when Tony got out of the hospital after being shot by Uncle Jr. Even that I had to get from Blockbuster.:(
-
I thought he was dead, but when they were in the safehouse somebody mentioned he was still alive.
-
Anyone notice the cardboard figure of Sil at the safe house?
Too bad all of the episodes couldn't have been like last nights........
-
David Chase wrote the last two episodes and it shows.
-
Surely Phil and his sneering little sidekick won't be the last guys standing. That would be too mean.
Good script tactic knocking off some of the nicer (hence marginally more inept) guys in the second to last episode. Now the worst really deserve their comeuppance.
Note the terminations so far have been handguns spraying lots of bullets. Good setup for the long gun finale.

Actually the moves against Tony's crew were already in motion before the attempt on Phil. The reason they didn't get Phil is because he was already in hiding, anticipating that Jersey might try to beat him to the punch.
-
The long impending train wreck was an inspired bit of film along with the Raging Bull slomo. I can't wait to see what the final battle looks like. Do they have a "Top of the world, Ma!" in store for Pauly Walnuts?

Phil accidentally kills Meadow, A.J. kills Phil, Butchy kills Carmella, Tony kills A.J., Tony kills self.
The end.

Tony negotiates a deal with the FBI and sends Phil et al to prison for life. Maybe he works out a way to get immunity for Patsy and Paulie and Sil (if he survives) too.
-
I'm thinking Silat has the best guess so far. AJ blowing dad away would leave for a real shocker.
-
Junior will commit suicide, Meadow is in a vehicle in NY, mistooken for Tony, and shot in the face. AJ is caught by Phil and gang, who will lead them to T and Carmella, who are holed up in a hotel together. Pauly gets wasted at a gas station. AJ comes in the room a fight over a gun ensues, Carmella is shot in the head, AJ kills Phil, Tony shoots himself in the head.
Oz
-
If AJ ever does one redeeming thing, that will be the biggest surprise of all.
As the greatest innocent, the last image fading into the credits probably will be Meadow. Or maybe that wide-eyed mouth turned down negativism of Carmella who never gets what is going on and is never satisfied.
-
Ugh. What a finale. Artsy-craftsy inconclusive, the worst kind of ending.
-
Greatness...
