Nope. One was supposed to be filmed this summer with a late fall airing. Last I read it sounded like it could be delayed though.

Yet another great episode. How in the hell is everything going to wrapped up in two more episodes? Phil seems hell bent on destruction, and I get the feeling that AJ and Meadow aren't off limits.

NoMyths 05-20-2007 09:04 PM

I'm going to miss the hell out of this show.

Just thought it was interesting how tonight's episode ended, with Tony in the hospital putting his arm around A.J. and walking down the hall with him, away from the camera. Very reminiscent of the episode I was talking about above.

That's what I'm wondering. They have so much to cram in what seems so little time. Should be a great finale.

thesloppy 05-20-2007 10:32 PM

Plenty of interesting stuff in this episode, but only one horrifying, traumatizing image has stuck with me:


LINCOLN LOG SANDWICHES.

ISiddiqui 05-20-2007 11:05 PM

Yeah, those looked just NASTY... ugh... maybe that's why AJ decided to off himself ;).

spleen1015 05-21-2007 05:58 AM

Did anyone else get the chills when Tony beat up Cocoa and knocked out his teeth like he did?

Logan 05-21-2007 08:03 AM

I bet one of the black guys from American History X did.

waynegomez 05-21-2007 09:53 AM

I'm interested to see where they go with the two FBI agents who keep appearing at Satriales. Did Tony and crew inadvertently aid terrorist activities? Will Tony get nabbed on a Patriot Act violation and find himself at guantanamo? Just kidding but this could prove to be a crucial plotline.

RedKingGold 05-21-2007 10:07 AM

I do kind of get the feeling we're going to have a "Seinfeldian" type ending where not much is really resolved.

Anthony 05-21-2007 10:32 AM

my wife thinks these episodes are so boring since no one is dying, but i think the tension between Tony and Phil is so menacing. great writing and acting. is Cocoa a made man? i never heard of him before.

there's just way too much to cram into 2 episodes. i understand you gotta leave 'em wanting more, but you leave the pending NY/NJ family war, something leading up to for the entire series, down to the last 2 episodes?

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be dissapointed with the last episode. The Sopranos universe has never been a slave to things like season finales, etc, everyone does their own thing, business goes on, completely oblvious to the fact that the season or show is "ending". That's part of show's charm, but people have been trained to expect something different.

And of course, there's always money to made in a movie.

I have been wondering about this as well. How ironic if Tony screwed himself by putting the feds onto those two muslim guys. What if they are not terrorists but wind up as key witnesses against the mob?

I think any potential connection between Tony and these guys ended when Christopher's final breaths were taken away. It would have been:

Arabs get pinched -> cell phone records show Christopher was in business with them -> Arab guys give up Chris and how he supplied them with weapons -> Chris, faced with more federal charges and hating the life he's living, flips and brings down Tony.

That link is gone now, as I'm 100% sure there were no dealings between them and Tony. An interesting theory I read on another board...the asbestos dumping being linked to Tony, and him being brought in on federal charges...by the EPA, not the FBI. Would be very funny if that was the agency that ended up getting him.

I loved Phil talkin' shit to Tony and Carmine through a second story screen window.....passive aggressive thuggery at its finest, you gotta love it.

Karlifornia 05-21-2007 08:05 PM

I was gonna post something about last night's episode, but I think I'd rather go have a lincoln log sandwich.

stevew 05-21-2007 08:22 PM

I'm starting to wonder if Lil' Carmine is either working with the feds, or is working against both Phil and Tony to become supreme ruler of both families. A few episodes back, he seemed like he possibly wanted out of the life. Plus the issue of the high level NY mole still hasn't been resolved(the whole scene where Harris informs Tony that someone close to him is in danger last fall).

cartman 06-03-2007 08:11 PM

This episode is definitely starting off with a bang.

cartman 06-03-2007 08:53 PM

Everything is pointing to the final episode of being one of the best of all-time.

IMO, Best episode since season finale of season six.

My heart was actually pumping during this episode.

Paulie is just an enforcer, not a leader. He may be Tony's greatest asset or biggest mistake.

I feel bad for the guy who posted earlier that he stopped watching the show because he didn't enjoy the "Carm and Tony liked going out for sushi" storyline that lasted 8 minutes.

Anthony 06-04-2007 08:25 PM

excellent episode. no reason why this couldn't have been the 1st episode to start this season. i feel a lot was wasted on the AJ storyline and there may not be much of a payoff to it.

the funny this is it might be easy to root for the Jersey family and against the NY gang, but the fact remains is they're all bad guys, in a sense.

Pure speculation at that forum did nail most of the elements of last night's episode though (hitting a Phil-lookalike by mistake, Bobby being whacked at the train store). I think that stuff figured out through casting calls and reports from shooting locations.

I don't read the spoiler forum, but yes, everyone said those spoilers were well-known.

I'm talking more about the people who maintain the cardboard cutout of Sil was actually Joe Pesci's character from My Cousin Vinny.

Just to reiterate what I said more clearly in today's print edition of Rewind than I did in the blog version I posted early Monday morning, I've been told by one of the writers that the safehouse is not Junior's, nor Livia's, nor the Kinderhook farm where Tony B. died (which bears no resemblance to the safehouse that I could see), nor any other house we've seen before. It's just a dilapidated house that the Family keeps for occasions such as this, and also for storage of odd knick-knacks like the Silvio cut-out -- the writers wanted Silvio to have some kind of presence in the scene even though he was in a coma, and they decided the Bing once made those cut-outs as a promotional item.

Purely the freedom of the writers.

spleen1015 06-07-2007 07:28 AM

They go and get Bobby and Sil, but they don't get Tony at the same time?

It was probably assumed that Tony would be at the Bing.

Anthony 06-07-2007 02:21 PM

Hi, I'm Silvio Dante. I know there is a strong likelihoof that a hit has been placed on myself, so rather than keep a weapon closeby I'll simply keep it in a bag and place it in the back seat of my car.

Ya, that was a little silly. They know 100% that attempted hit is coming, and they're at their normal hangout, with no extra security, and limited access to weapons.

I have to admit, after the Bobby hit, when they cut to Silvio, all I was thinking was - couldn't you move a little quicker, even when they saw the car come in, they were driving so sloooooowwwww.

If I had been warned that I was about to be killed, but I didn't know when, where or by who, I'd be carrying around numerous weapons that are either loaded and easy to get to, or they are just sticking right out like the wild wild west.

That I agree with. I'm sure the first thing was they were so smug about the botched hit on Phil, that they weren't prepared for the payback.

Bobby was a goner with his cell in his pocket, but you'd think that you'd keep something like that at all times when you were responsible for a New York hit. It was believable because Bobby could be such a goof.

Silvio was more suprising because this is the guy that whacks people. I mean he did a hit just at the start of the episode. So yes, you'd think he'd be more aware, but I always got the picture that Silvio was a behind the scenes guy, he keeps his business quiet. I had a little less belief in his not carrying the gun, but he seemed more interested in all the business stuff to think they'd gun for him. Big mistake...some viewers allude that it's his just desserts scrambling for a gun the same way Adriana had to scramble in the woods to her death.

I've not read on any boards, but some complained about the violence in the death/injury of the motorcyclist as the hitmen scramble to get away, but I think it was more to add belief that a car could be stopped by a motorcycle, like Silvio's was. I was thinking why get out of the car, run over that hog and get out of there. Plus it may have been an allusion to the African that AJ's friend's beat up when he runs into the door of the one kid's car. His bike is run over in the violence.

This is one of those shows where you can see a bunch of things within things, even the dull episodes would illuminate something.

Is it possible that both hits basically happened simultaneously? Or do i need to re-watch it, w/ Silvio being well aware that bobby got popped.

stevew 06-08-2007 12:13 PM

dola, that was an awful driving job by Patsy(I think that's his name). It wouldn't suprise me if he has either flipped to NY or to the Feds. More likely NY, as it wouldn't be terribly hard to not hit someone in crossfire. I DVR'd the episode, I'm going to re-watch.

Bad-example 06-08-2007 01:55 PM

Not much time left to get final predictions down for posterity. I am thinking Tony ends up with the feds. It seems like the way to screw over Phil the most would be to put him back behind bars. Also, I find it hard to believe we are done with Dr Melfi. I would be surprised if she and Tony don't have one more session.

bosshogg23 06-08-2007 03:18 PM

I think all of this happens in the last episode....

Tony dies

Phil Leotardo dies before Tony, directly as a result of Tony

One or both of Carlo Gervasi or Paulie Walnuts have backstabbed Tony to the NY families

The story about the guys from the Middle East is not resolved anymore than it already has been. The entire buildup was for the Fed to feed Tony info about the family decapitation.

SunDevil 06-08-2007 03:26 PM

Tony wakes up. This was all a dream sequence. :p

Radii 06-08-2007 04:11 PM

Predictions:

Phil Leotardo and Paulie die. The series ends with Tony, Carmella, Mellow and AJ having a meal together.

And the most unfortunate prediction of all, Janice does not die. Even worse she might join the Sopranos for the series ending meal pointing to the future.

Radii 06-08-2007 04:12 PM

dola, agreed on the prediction that the storyline w/ the feds is over and done with.

thesloppy 06-08-2007 04:31 PM

As long as we're discussing the logic gaps, what's up with the Italians?

They get picked up at the airport by one of the Jersey crew because of course they're foreign and can't be expected to navigate the Big Apple on their lonesome....but then when the hit goes down that's exactly what they're doing, apparently driving randomly around New York, relying only on a picture of Phil to guide them? Before the botched hit it looked like they were parked and staking out a specific place....a place that turned out to be the home of a Ukranian man who looked an awful lot like Phil? None of that makes any sense. I guess you could reason that Phil arranged for his doppleganger (and daughter) to be at his safehouse, or that he lived very nearby to someone who looked just like him and the Italians got confused, but either situation seems like quite a stretch.

They've spent an awful lot of time with AJ this year, despite his limitations as an actor (it would have easy to write him out and downplay his importance). I'm thinking he's a big part of the finale - either whacking one of Phil's henchman who's looking to take out the family, or maybe even killling Tony.

Those were the same hitmen they used in the first part of season 6 to off the "king makers." Phil's comar just happened to have a father that looked an awful lot like Phil. Phil had gone to that address every friday night supposedly, so it was definitely thought he would be there. Also, the Italians are pretty competent hitmen, they just had never seen phil before.

Yeah, this is my major thought too. Speculation and possibly unproven spoilers supposedly point towards some situation like that. Although it is extremely possible that it was just a red herring.

Honestly, I wouldn't even be suprised if they off Phil in the first 10 minutes, then they dodge an attempted hit by Butchie the Henchman(who has clearly snapped at that point). Then maybe they work shit out with the rest of the NY families, and then Tony and the Family then spend the rest of episode having dinner. Something way low keyer than we are expecting.

Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up.

RedKingGold 06-08-2007 06:54 PM

The crazy rumor I heard is that Meadow is accidently killed while driving in Tony's car (b/c Phil's crew shoot up the car thinking Tony's inside).

Either way, I think the finale is definitely pointing to someone in the Soprano family other than Tony getting killed/murdered/whacked b/c of the very cryptic line in the last episode by Tony basically saying that families are left out of mafia hits.

NoMyths 06-08-2007 07:03 PM

Or since she's dating Patsy's kid, it could be intentional. Cue the Godfather 3 Coppola-cam?

There's a ton of variations of that rumor out there. The first one I heard was that AJ was driving Tony's car, and Bobby (who was working with NY and was trying to whack Tony), ran him off the road, and then fled when he found out it was AJ (but not before AJ recognized him). That one obviously, won't pan out.

Captain2711 06-08-2007 07:35 PM

I can't help but look at the connection of Meadow dating a Parisi. What would be the significance of mentioning that she is dating a mobster's son? They could've made her date anyone. And let's not forget that Patsy thought about killing Tony that opening scene when he was standing in Tony's yard. Don't know how that connects, but just food for thought.

And let's not forget that Patsy thought about killing Tony that opening scene when he was standing in Tony's yard. Don't know how that connects, but just food for thought.


She did date Jackie Aprile Jr. before Vito had to off him, so it's not like she hasn't dated a son of one of the crew.

This is what I don't get. I thought it was against the "thing" to target guys like Phil or any made man without approval. ESPECIALLY a boss. In between the attempted hit on Phil, and the curb stomp on Coco, I think Tony's gotta be a dead man. Some people from the other 4 families will have to get wind of what's going on, and step in to stop it.

Although I think Phil's one Consiglieri(i think), aka the fat balding guy(not the glass eye guy) seemed a bit hesitant to decapitate. I wonder if that puts him towards being the snitch in the NY family.

nope. it's cuz Phil's Consiglieri knew that to put a hit on a Boss was a no-no in the mob world. he couldn't outright say "i don't agree with you", the Boss is always right and to back off a hit is to show weakness and that means you'll be whacked too. just doing his job as a Consiglieri, trying to show that it really is a big deal to whack a Boss and his captains and what Phil was doing was out of control.

i don't think the ending is going to be this gigantic fireworks display. i think it will be more low-key as a couple others have said. i say the ending is Tony dies (i don't want him to) when his family is taken hostage by Phil's men and he's forced into a "either you go or they go" situation

i hope in the DVD set for this season they show what all 4 ending were gonna be. that'd be cool.

I would fuckin LOVE to see David Chase rip off Beverly Hills, 90210. Can we have a driving rainstorm too?

Well, the FBI guy said that their snitch said that the hit was on. So basically 3 main guys had to know about it at that stage, I think. I'd have to re-watch, but it definitely points towards the snitch in NY being a person very close to Phil. Although maybe they will never reveal who it was(most likely)

A little over 8 hours to go. I can't remember the last time I was this excited to watch a TV show.

Hoya1 06-10-2007 01:18 PM

yep. Should be a good one. I can't wait.

jaygr 06-10-2007 04:33 PM

Is it still just an hour long tonight?

Scoobz0202 06-10-2007 04:52 PM

TVGuide.com says it is 65 minutes long.

stevew 06-10-2007 05:19 PM

fuck, i gotta work at 10...that blows.

Logan 06-10-2007 05:20 PM

I'm already looking forward to people whining that they missed the end because their Tivo cut it off.

stevew 06-10-2007 05:22 PM

I live approximately 1 minute from my job...the 9:50ish oclock ending would be ok, but not 10:05. I guess I'll DVR and watch it in the morning.

cartman 06-10-2007 05:25 PM

I've been very impressed that the details of tonight's episode haven't been leaked. You would have thought somebody would have had enough money thrown their way to spill the beans. They must have said that you would have an actual mob hit put on you if you divulged any of the plot details.

No offense, but every extra minute is a great thing in my book. Sorry to hear you'll miss it.

I wouldn't say that they haven't been leaked, as quite a bit of material throughout this season has been leaked correctly, weeks before it happens. It's just hard to say whether of the leaked info for this episode is actually correct until it's aired.

NoMyths 06-10-2007 07:51 PM

Anyone else excited?

cartman 06-10-2007 08:02 PM

It's time!

cartman 06-10-2007 09:03 PM

LOL

I knew something like that was coming. Perfect way to end. The guy going into the bathroom ala Michael in the Godfather.

You just know something bad is going to happen, then BOOM

Spoiler

Noop 06-10-2007 09:06 PM

MAN WTF

Just wanted to say that I called it first. :)

I disagree...a lot did happen... there was resolution.

I loved the ending, it built up the tension, I kept waiting for the gun to go off.

GoDukes 06-10-2007 09:15 PM

That was pitiful

Oh, I agree a lot happened during the episode, I was only referring to the final scene. There were about six different bad things I was expecting to happen.

Johnny93g 06-10-2007 09:18 PM

Great ending. A perfect Soprano's ending. Left me wanting more.
