Oh my, so much happened this episode. Loved the way the guy on the bike gets run over just to add to the carnage.

Dodge

That was some fast paced TV

Great stuff

And part of me just 'knew' that was going to happen....the motley crowd of onlookers from the Bing were funny too.

The Black Oil

Woah, thought that was excellent.
Next week can't come quick enough.

Boston

THis episode and the last really remind me of the Godfather, just alot of the same imagery.

Clareman

1 of the best things TV episodes ever. Great show. Loved Tony at the end.

I thought it was 2 weeks till the final episode???

evad_lhorg

holy crap!!!! that was awesome!!!!

it is on!! I just wish chris was there for the war at the end.

p~b

Not giving much away... can't wait. Wish I had a time machine

The Black Oil

When did Tony

get that assault rifle? That final scene was quite haunting.

Johnny Storm

Bobby gave it to him for his birthday. Remember they used it in the woods near Bobby's summer home?

The Black Oil

Ah right, thanks. I'll have a look again.

Agreed.

The mock boxing between Tony and Sil in the restaurant was a brilliant scene,
given what they had met to discuss. Up with the best in any of the seriesss.

Washout

I was sorry to see Bobby go. imagine his kids having to grow up with Janice.

The Black Oil

Indeed.

So any theories as to what might happen? I have a feeling that either Carmela, AJ or Meadow may die. In this episode Tony said that the families are never touched, but can he really be believed? The best candidate would be Meadow, who he and Carm have pinned all their hopes on. I guess next week will be bloody too.

yeah i agree protocol suggests that there is no honor in killing family during a mafia war but Phils head isnt all there. He is still peed off that he was not the one to kill Tony B.

doubledown

Great episode. I'm really going to miss this show! Has anyone heard or read anything about the duration of the final episode next Sunday? Is it going to be a regular 50 minutes or a double-length?

dubmick

61 minutes as per HBO's listings

Could be, but IMHO, from a dramatic point of view, Tony has to go. Anything else is a cop-out.
Although it may well be left open for future mini-series, once-offs etc as a pension plan for all concerned with the show.
Anyway, whatever happens, I'm counting on it to be deeply twisted.:D

Bounty Hunter

i really wish this show didnt have to end, IMO there has never been a single bad episode and some truely great ones (like this one). As far as Godfather esque for me it was what happened to Bobby. Imight be wrong but was the mock fighting with Sil and Tony not Raging Bull, atleast thats where i thought the music being played in the restaurant was from (hense the boxing).

Boston

I don't think tony will go, it hasn't been building towards that. I will say one thing though, if he does go, with that assault rifle it's going to resemble he end scene from scarface.

Couldn't agree more. Brilliant ep though, bring on next week. Too bad it's the last ever. sob.

spanner_head

I'm sitting here almost frozen....I really enjoyed that episode....it truly great.

I'm going to be sitting here itching for the finale now.

neacy69

OMG :eek: :eek:

evad_lhorg

No your correct & right

Paddy@CIRL

Theory !

I honestly think that Paulie is going to hit Tony. He's close to him, Tony doesn't really trust him and he wasnt on Phil's hitlist and in fairness Paulie is higher up the food chain than Bobby was ...

Bounty Hunter

Paulie is the definition of old school IMO that will not happen, though it would be smart if im honest.

Snake Plisken

Great episode, I wouldn't rule out Paulie offing Tony as remember when Tony got shot and was in a coma he was moaning about giving Carmilla the money packets. Also families could be on the line as when the two italians killed the wrong guy they also killed the woman with him, which would say to Phil that families were not off limits in this war. Great scene Tony and Sil boxing to the Raging Bull music.

Snake
P.S. I know why Tony couldn't find Phily he was in Ireland filming those FXcking Permanent TSB Ads

he isnt/wasnt higher up

Nephew

I reckon Tony will run away with Vitos boyfriend, a sort of wtf ending.

Its a usual length episode, 50ish minutes without adds

Fighting Irish

The actor who plays Phil was on Opie & Anthony(big radio show in the US) and they asked him if there was any plans for a movie, he said he heard there might be but that it might be a prequel, so maybe that means Tony dies in the last episode :eek:


And also, i just checked out www.boards.tv and theres no sopranos sub forum :rolleyes: stupid

Fighting Irish

Also whats with some TV shows being put in the Sci Fi/Fantasy forum, jesus boards mods really do like to complicate ****

I think I am right mate, check the HBO site, Blue Comet is listed with a running time of 50 minutes and Made in America is listed as 61 minutes.

doubledown

And don't forget that The Sopranos runs on HBO with no commercials, so 61 minutes MEANS 61 minutes.

oh right, i taught they were all around 50 minutes, you win

Dodge

They are all around 50 minutes, except for this; the series finale

Nice theory on Paulie. It would certainly make sense (with all of Paulie's recent appearances)

As for "family won't be touched" I don't think Phil will care about that after what Tony Blundetto did

Snake Plisken

Yeah Paulie wasn't too happy about the lack of Captains at his ma's funeral. I bet u Tony is sorry he off'ed Chrissy now, he could do with the help he can get now.

we all have friendly American cousins

Johnny Storm

I read on A.N.Other forum that Chase wanted this ep we just saw to be the last one.
IE that the series would end with

everything up in the air and T sitting in the dark clutching his assault rifle

.
I have no idea if that is true but it would have made a pretty good end IMHO. In fact, if I dont like the next ep I will pretend to myself that that was the last ep;)
Useless fact 2: The last ep is called "made in America", apparently that was what Chase originally wanted to call the whole series before they decided on Sopranos.

Volvagia

that was an incredible episode, it just got better and better. I have to say I enjoyed seeing Tony knock some sense into aj when he started crying again!

hurry up next week!

valor

Theres no way Paulie turns on Tony

The Italians thought they were clipping Phil and his goomah - family wasn't a consideration - they assumed Daddy was her pet name for him.

Was it just me or did anyone else hope Furio was going to return when Tony mentioned getting help from Italy ? That could have set it off on a different tangent entirely !

I agree - I don't recall that sort of referencing since Series 1 and Sil & his 'Al Pacino in G3' impressions.

Yeah I was thinking the same now he was a hitman, and it would have opened up the Carmella thing again.
