Official Sopranos season 5 discussion...

[Worf101]

Damn - what an episode. I was getting kind of restless in recent weeks. Lots of story lines, but nothing ever materializing. Finally, Adrianna got popped. It's almost hard to believe...

And I can't wait to see what happens now that Tony told Johnny to "go #$#% himself". How do you guys see it ending? Does Tony go after Johnny? Does Tony get popped by Johnny? We all know it can't be a happy ending for Tony...

Ahem, here's what I see happnin based upon the slim preview from last weeks episode and my keen Machievellian insights

1. Chris continues to spiral out of control. Perhaps gits sent away or given up by Tony in exchange for Tony B.

2. Fire-girl takes a shot at Tony or tries to mess up his homelife.

3. Johnny Sac realizes that it's not worth going to war over Philly's little brother. Particularly when he finds out his health is not what it used to be.

4. Tony will get killed in next years finale but by someone quite unlikely. Someone he s**t on way back in the day. He'll be killed just as he thinks he's silenced all his enemies.

I have spoken, so let it be written.....

So let it be done!

I think the bear that has been sneaking around his house will get him. I think the bear is symbolic of the danger that is lurking around Tony. Wow, that's almost deep?

Yeah I don't understand how they can do that - it totally loses momentum. I'm thinking of cancelling my HBO subscription til it comes back. I don't watch anything else on HBO.. except for Deadwood, and that's over in 3 weeks too.

Are you kidding me? Man, Six Feet Under is the best thing to come to television since The Simpsons. But I agree, the long wait is uncalled for.

Just when I think my life can't git any more f**ked up there's Nate, Claire, Mom, David, Keith and Psycho ex showing me just how bad things could REALLY be. Phew... I do love that show and I currently like Deadwood as well. Never got into Sex in the City. Did like "Dream On" back in the day.

Last night's episode was pretty damn good but not what I would expect from a season finale. Lots of good twists and lots of good killing/beatings.

Little Tony? That took some meatballs. Tony I think proved to everyone that he was
still the boss and would do what ever it takes for the family. It was his mess and he cleaned it up.

Sacs? That was freaking hillarious. Tony turned tail and hauled ass. I guess next season Tony will have free reign over NY if he wants it with most of Sacs organization locked up. Maybe little Carmine will come back into play?

I'm wondering if Tony's undoing next season will be from within? Seems like the troops are a little restless. Granted offing little Tony helped some of that but it appears he still may have some trouble within. Pauli? Of course this is assuming Tony dies in the last season. I could also see him as one of the last standing, all alone.

Oh well, 18 more months. Good news is NipTuck is coming back in a couple of weeks on FX and HBO's new "Entourage" looks pretty cool. And, one more episode of Deadwood.

What a dissapointing ending of this ****in season, which was pretty much a snoozefest, save for Adriana getting whacked.....I mean, the season ENDS with Tony trying to get into his house after he ran away from an FBI task force raid? How far did he run in that snow anyway?

And something bothers me about the fact that its summer time and we have to see snow on the ground in the show....

It wasn't "bad" but after a year and a half of writing and fighting Jeeze Louise you think they'd have had more creative reserves built up. As for last night episode I thought it was good if not great. That split second look on Tony's face as he spots the guys comin' out the woods and our fear that it's Johnny Sac's guys comin to whack him. Then the realization that it's a Fed roundup and Tony's Napolean like retreat through Jersey was wonderful. Felt sorry for Little Tony, but loved Big T's epiphany with the painting, the realization that he was/is a general and must put the welfare of his troops and family/nation above all other loyaties. I thought it was an above average episode. It does bode for fat times in Jersey City though. But if that weak sister Carmine Junior pops up we're in for another round of stupidity. 18 months eh? 18 Months!!!???!!! The Ten Commandments didn't take 18 Months!!!!!

As for how I rated the last season? To quote Sgt. Quincannon in "Fort Apache" when asked to pass judgement on some contraband booze being sold to renegades..... "well's sir now I wouldn't calls it whiskey, but it's better than no whiskey at all".

See you in 18 if not sooner...
