    I agree with most here, a bit of a bummer for a finale. I also expected some big things to happen, but nada. That shot of Chris in that diner really looked like he was gonna get hit. AJ giving his Gary Fisher to those guys really made him look like a pussy "I got it for christmas its just a year old" pathetic! I really think Chris talking about March of the Penquins and their egg was hilarious btw.

    Still i'll be awaiting the final episodes, a war could still happen with Phil in the hospital and his captains looked like they were anxious to bring out the guns..

    Also, on Julianna Margueles, I was so thinking she was an FBI agent , that is until she started smoking heroin with Christopher . I know they go undercover, but doubt that they would ever poison their system.
    I was thinking the same thing, she seemed very good at getting inside info from Chris, but if she was a agent she'd gone for Tony rather than Chris.

    i think the writers know exactly what they're doing, and aren't lazy or scared at all. i think they're weaving some storylines together, some they're wrapping up, and ultimately they will shock us with whom they decide to kill off. they must know that fans are talking about who's gonna get whacked, etc...

    wild, crazy guess: someone from phil's team is going to try and kill tony but because they're out to dinner or something, will accidentally kill carmela instead. :eek:

    i agree..the writing, acting, directing...everything has still been spectacular this season for me. like you said, they know what they're doing.

    i think something is going to come of that little run in at the hospital with the little guy that was standing in tony's way in the doorway...if it goes down like you predict eddie's grrl...tony is going to go mental!!!

    yes, i can imagine that scene. that guy's got a set of brass- even phil said that killing a boss is wrong.

    you know, we really don't see tony himself act violently very often. i think something like that will happen- someone not made or not even active in the business, but whom tony cares about, gets killed- and he himself will go on a killing spree in the final scenes of the final episode.

    so many possiblities! tony could very well end up taking some matters into his own hands...i'm excited to see what happens!

    I thought the finale episode was great. I think the scenes with Christopher at the movies along with the line from his sponser "same old movie" was perfect. Also remember that Chris mentioned that he is tired of Tony getting everything. As far as AJ being a pussy. I would say he was fucking smart. 3 Thugs, he knew he was outnumbered, he knew there was nothing he could do physically with those guys, and maybe even wind up killed. Anyways the outcome was what he wanted, he got laid, that's all that matters.

    Now lets talk about the mafia shit. Everybody wants killing but was that not the best fucking meeting between the 2 families??!! There is more to the mob than killing. I just thought this show really set a lot of stuff up for the finale 8 shows. Of course this is just my opinion.

    And yes the little weasle guy at Phil's hospital room will be trouble for sure. He wants to whack someone and he does not care that Phil told him it was wrong. He gave Tony attitude from the get go.

    I really thought that was just a fantastic show and I really enjoyed it a lot.

    'Sopranos' final season to begin April 8

    POSTED: 3:32 p.m. EST, January 16, 2007

    Story Highlights
    • Nine episodes of "The Sopranos" left
    • New season to begin April 8
    • "Entourage" starting same night

    PASADENA, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- The HBO mob series "The Sopranos" will launch its sixth and final season of nine installments on April 8, while hipster comedy "Entourage" will also return with new episodes on that date.

    "Sopranos" creator and executive producer David Chase will write and direct the finale of the seminal mob series that has grown to define HBO since its premiere in 1999, the premium cable network announced during its portion of the Television Critics Assn. press tour Friday.

    Additionally, "Sopranos" star James Gandolfini is executive producing and conducting interviews for a documentary special that has the working title "Alive Day: Home From Iraq," featuring the stories of wounded servicemen. It is slated to premiere on July 4. And production begins in February on HBO Films' seven-hour historical miniseries "John Adams," starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney.

    "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf showed up to plug an HBO movie he is executive producing. "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," based on the classic 1971 book by Dee Brown, documents the subjugation of Native Americans during the latter half of the 19th century.

    Wolf noted that it was his first project for HBO, and hopefully not his last.

    "I'd do anything that HBO wanted me to do given the strictures that I'm under contractually," Wolf said. "They are both famous and notorious for taking a great deal of time ... but the reality is they end up doing it right."

    "Deadwood" creator David Milch talked up his new drama "John From Cincinnati," which is pegged for a surfing-friendly summertime debut. His appearance at the Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel event proved to be something of a surreal experience, with the producer in an unusually chatty, stream-of-consciousness mood while extolling the virtues of "Cincinnati," his paranormal surfing series. It left all who witnessed it feeling bemused and somewhat overwhelmed.

    "To my mind, reality is a shifting and elusive condition," Milch said during one of his expansive oral adventures. "It redefines itself constantly. ... When I was saying that this is a story that takes place on the margins of things, the attempt to identify the coordinates of reality is itself a kind of problematic and conditional effort. It's changing all the time. ... As time goes on, you come to realize what seemed to be chasms of difference which cannot be bridged turn out not even to exist."

    HBO is a unit of Time Warner, as is CNN.

    Since January meant April, April probably means August.

    i heard it was 8, and season 6 just ran a full 13-epsiode season, so technically--even if it is a short season--it's season 7 that premieres in april.

    It might be a 2 episode finale.

    they might as well just do a full 13, so we get the full-arc feeling of a true season of the sopranos.

    I've always loved this show, but I can't help thinking they've been stretching it a little bit the last season or two. Especially after Steve Buscemi was dropped, I haven't felt the same way about it. Still, better than most of the shite on telly these days.

    Yeah but that would probably mean waiting another two years for them to film an entire season. Nothing in Sopranoland is ever done quickly. I'm pretty sure the reason it was delayed already was because of contract disputes. These were major characters, not just secondary ones like Uncle Junior or something. I remember reading Sil, Paulie, and Melfi at one point being considered to be written out of the show. How the hell can you just write out Sil and Paulie, it would never work. The problem with last season is how they just wrote Meadow out of the show. One minute she was there, the next minute she was in California with Finn. The only other time you heard about her was in the finale when she was on the phone at Christmas. You didn't see her, or hear her voice, or anything.

    I seem to remember from the end of last season the Chase said the final season would be very violent or some thing like that.

    they claimed that they delay was due to a knee injury suffered by gandolfini.

    i consider meadow much less of a significant charachter than uncle joon. mefli...never...can't see it. hard to see it w/o sil or p. walnuts either.

    I thought Meadow was a pretty important character. They kept throwing around these hints last season that Meadow would somehow be involved in Tony's business. The Johnny Sack episode at the wedding where shere she acts disguted about how the federal government is treating him, and when she gets the internship at the law office, there is a comment made that led me to believe she would never be taken seriously because of who her father is. To me that would have been a very interesting storyline to see Meadow become Tony's lawyer. Instead we're stuck with idiot AJ and his Puerto Rican girlfriend. At least Vito is dead, so there will be no more Johnnycakes.
