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.

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.

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


LINCOLN LOG SANDWICHES.

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

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

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

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.

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

Looked to me like, bread + hot dog + cream cheese = yuk.

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?

Pah, so crude... but I think a lot of people suffer under this. The show isn't necessarily about people dying. Who cares about that if it isn't accompanied by great writing.


Exactly. You can feel the dramatic tension as its climbing and climbing. Its great stuff.

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.

ding ding ding... we have a winner.

Tony'll cave, and the mob will continue to exist.

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.

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

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).

This episode is definitely starting off with a bang.

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

Belichick must be pissed.

holy shit.

That was just unreal. Perfect episode. I hope I can make it to watch the replay at midnight.

With all the great stuff, I think my strongest feeling is that "Melfi = Cunt."

+1

IMO, Best episode since season finale of season six.

My heart was actually pumping during this episode.

agree with everything said so far here, incredible episode.

Took an hour for me to calm down, and I had miss the 1st 20 minutes...

yeah, agreed. I wonder if there's something up there. Paulie's always been one of my faves, I hope he doesn't go out like a rat or something.

I gotta watch this again.

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

They should've started this season with this ep, and gone from there.

man, was I way off...

Watched it last night on the DVR. Wow, great episode. Next week should be a thriller.

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.

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.

LOL. I got a good laugh from this post.:D

LOL

I saw that. I wish I had a camera fixed on my eyes while I read that forum. It would be cool to see how long my eyes would end up rolling.

That's awseome - if he showed up in the finale at Tony's safehouse and killed everyone, well, I would be giddy for quite some time.

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.

What the hell was that cardboard cutout doing there, anyway?

What forum is that?

Interestingly, even though were as a consensus about those two spoiler elements above, nobody has any clue what's going to happen in the finale.

Purely the freedom of the writers.

Bah.

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

Whatever. It is a good thing this show is coming to an end.

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

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.
