Official Sopranos season 5 discussion...

[JSE]

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...

I'm thinking Sacs won't get it until next season. They need to end the season with a "cliffhanger". Maybe Sacs will be it. Who knows. Granted this episode was great but if the better part the season is any idicator, then the last episode this season may be somewhat anti-climatic. There will be a lot of killing in two weeks but I don't think any major characters will be offed. Little Tony? I'm guessing he will make it to next season.

For some reason I thought this was the last season? One more to go? You're right though, they usually never follow up a good episode like this with one nearly as good. Oh well, I'm thinking Tony and Johnny will get into it pretty good now that Johnny took over as boss in NY. He's perfect for that role... and he'll probably try to use his new muscle to stomp on Tony.

Why are they skipping a week before the finale, and IS this the final season or not? Anyone have the final word?

One more season, at least. This is from HBO's website,

"HBO and series creator David Chase have already reached an agreement for a sixth season, with that season's ten episodes to begin production in early 2005. "

I have heard that next season will be the last though. Early 2005? Man, these 18 month layoffs between seasons are crap.

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.

Oooo Yeah, Deadwood is a good show. I have become a big fan. My wife, who usually does not like that kind of thing, loves it. They will be back next season as well. Swearigin (sp?) is awesome. He's scum, but it's fun to hate him. How long do you think the Priest will last? I think he will be gone by the end of the season. He's a cool character as well.

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.
