Can't believe they whacked the wrong guy. Should be interesting to see what happens next week. Dr. Melfi finally got rid of Tony. Thought that would never happen. Something about that arrangement just seemed too implausible, which doesn't happen on that show. Will Paulie's overtures overtures to Brooklyn ever come to light? What will happen to the Pakistanis that Tony told the feds about? So many things left to be answered next week...

And if you know David Chase, just like that Russian in the woods, many things will stay unresolved.. smile.gif

 

I hope that bastard Butch gets whacked, I hate him... smile.gif

Wow, what an episode! Last week I never would have guessed about Bobby and Sil. Now, the obvious ending is for Tony to get whacked and thats all folks...but they wouldn't do the obvious in the series finale would they?

That's what I'm wondering. Are they just making us think he's next or are we in for a big shocker unsure.gif

Take this for what it's worth but I just read they will begin filming a Soprano's movie in December. I would be really upset if they just whacked Tony, it's too obvious.

I remembered reading something about that a while back...Here's what I read...

 

Does Tony Soprano have a future as a matinee idol?

 

While David Chase, mastermind of The Sopranos, is reiterating that the upcoming extended sixth season will be the last the last we see of the mob family on HBO, he isn't saying fuhgeddaboudit to a big-screen sequel.

 

"This is the absolute end," Chase tells the New York Times. But, he teases, "I could not promise that we would not come back and do a movie. It may be that in two or three or four years I could be sitting around and get an idea for a really great Sopranos movie."

 

Of course, long waits are nothing new to fans of Emmy-winning show.

 

The first 12 episodes of the sixth season kick off Mar. 12, nearly two years after the last new episodes aired in June 2004. Chase & Co. have already tested the patience of die-hards with a 15-month break between the fourth and fifth seasons and a 16-month wait between the third and fourth.

 

"Honestly, the last break affected me detrimentally," James Gandolfini tells the Times. "It was long. I think your brain starts to eke out other places. I don't think I was horribly affected--I hope not. But it was long."

 

Part of the reason for the abnormally elongated hiatus was the renegotiation process between HBO and Chase.

 

Chase, who has flirted with the idea of each season since the fourth as being the show's last, agreed to extend The Sopranos' final season order last year.

 

After the first dozen new episodes air, there will be another several month break before the final eight episodes begin unspooling in January 2007.

 

For all his hemming and hawing over the latter few seasons, Chase tells the Times that he has known generally known how he will end the series "for a couple of years now."

 

"He told me one thing," Gandolfini says. "But I think it's different now."

 

Could that one thing could be the fate of a seemingly ill-fated central character now that a movie may someday be in the works? Maybe, maybe not.

 

"I don't think [a movie] will happen," Chase says. "But if one morning somebody woke me up and said this would make a really good, concise, contained Sopranos story, I wouldn't rule that out."

 

Last June, while still toying with the idea of a bonus mini-season, Chase admitted that the show could live on in either a seventh season or a film version without altering his vision. Fans leapt on the statement, taking it as confirmation that the show's protagonist, Tony, would not be getting whacked and that he would be heading for the big screen.

 

As of right now, Chase asserts, a Sopranos movie is pure speculation and should not overshadow the show's remaining TV life.

 

"I do think that I've been a part of something extraordinary here," he says in the Times. "It's been an amazing ride. This is not being coy...We still try to do work that pleases us. But, you know, a lot of things happened. For some reason there was a zeitgeist going on, where this thing connected to whatever was out there. Who knows why that happens?"

If I knew how to post a scan of the article I would. It also has a major spoiler as to next weeks ending and I do not want to ruin that for everyone so I didn't put it in my original post.

Finally watched the latest episode last night.

 

HOLY

 

With all due respect they are now cramming in SOOOOOOO much it maakes you wonder why they didn't spread the wealth over a couple of the yawner episodes.

 

Anyways awesome episode. Hard to imagine how the finale can out do it with action OR wrap up all the loose ends - but we'll know soon enough!

 

My favorite moment - AJ watching METALOCALYPSE in the hospital. Nothing like seeing two of your favorite shows on TV both at the same time!

Well, in a couple of hours it will all be over. All questions will be answered, or knowing Chase, many will not. They key question is how does Tony go out, dead, alive, on with his life, or turncoat/witness. We will see. I mourn the end of a really great TV show.

My prediction: Paulie whacks Tony.

 

You heard it here first.

 

Also, I will celebrate if snivelling little AJ gets taken out.

That one is a real possibility, thinking back to when Paulie told Carmine, Sr. that if there was anything he could do for them, to let him know.

 

As for AJ, I think he lives, unless Paulie takes him out, too. I think it's possible that they shared AJ's ex. If AJ continues to pester her, she could call on Paulie to get him off her back.

As far as finales go. This was the worst piece of anticlimactic garbage I have ever seen!! I am beyond dissapointed at tonight's final show. Considering this was one of the best dramatic series I have watched, I thought that Chase would make this a great last show. Boy oh boy nothing could be farther from the truth.

 

 

THE SERIES FINALE OF THE SOPRANOS SUCKED!!!

last 5 minutes were strange. there was definitely an effort to create this feeling that something was going to happen and then nada. Life just keeps going on. This will add fuel to the fire about a the rumours of a movie though.

I disagree wholheartedly. The ending is exactly what you should have expected form Chase, an ending where there were possibilities and nothing was tied up nice and easy with a bow. The episode had some slow sopts, as always I could do with less AJ-centric stuff, but overall the tension and uncertainty was billiant. And the ending is exactly what I expected (I actually expected less in the way of concrete ideas of what the possibilities could be).

 

So those guys could have been just there, there to hit him, there to arrest him, or maybe both...

 

Its up to you. I love it smile.gif

I thought the last scene was brilliant. Obviously, everyone wanted to see something traumatic happen. What we got was a very suspenseful ending (the joke was on us, I guess) and a family not beyond redemption.

Thats not "weird" - thats Chase - you should have expected that smile.gif Its exactly his style (where did the Russian who escpaed in the Pine Barrens ever go? smile.gif)

 

I thought it was great, and I thought the last two eps of the series were a fitting ending to the show.

I understand where chase was going with this. But, I think this ending is nonsense. The "I wonder what happens" ending is a tired idea that's been done before, beginning with Seinfeld. Enough is enough. Anyway, this show jumped the shark after season three in my opinion. There are however interesting metaphor sprinkled throughout this last episode.

I thought the sudden black out at the end was actually a problem with my cable til I saw the credits then I was like WTF!!!!

 

 

I think that guy who kept staring at them was waiting for the whole family to show up to kill them all. It was just a build up to nothing IMO. A lil disappointing, but I am glad Phil finally got whacked. He was so pissing me off lately.
