Sopranos

[brennser]

yeah, just watched it and I thought it was pretty great - rivetting, depressing, intense

[K8teebug]

I have really been enjoying these recaps

My predictions for next episode (2 wks away):
 
 Phil puts the hit out on Tony, but someone else gets in the way...Bobby?  Silvio?  Paulie?  Someone big goes.
 
 I think they might play up the threatening Meadow more.  I wonder if she doesn't get caught in the cross fire before it's all said and done.
 
 Basically, I think they're setting us up for alot of tragedy.  Maybe Tony doesn't die or get put in jail, but I'm guessing alot of people on his side of the fence will.

Yes.  David Chase has said that he never liked the old mob movies because they always had one of two endings - the main character is either dead or in jail.  I think the fate Tony will suffer will be worse than either of those.

[K8teebug]

I heard that as well.  I'm actually glad it won't end with him either being dead or in jail, but I agree that it's going to be worse.
 
 Anyone else catch that Tony suffocated Christopher and AJ tried to off himself by the same method?
 
 Also, a duck flew over their heads during this scene.

I don't think Meadow will die - that was done in Godfather III. Chase is intentionally not doing what's been done before (Goodfellas, Godfather, etc.) Tony could come out on top but he'll lose everything that 'meant' something to him (IE. family, etc.) Like when they were talking about Paulie and that Tony and his reputation was all he had left. Tony is in a similar situation. Like Vito he won't be able to escape The Life.

Somebody's gonna whack Paulie, it's just a question of who.  My bet's on Tony doing it but it wouldn't surprise me if it's Phil. Either way, I'll be glad to see him get bumped off because he's just really annoying.

[RustyOrgan]

WTF?! Dude. Paulie Walnuts is one of the BEST FUCKING CHARACTERS! I don't think you DESERVE to see the final two.
 (I can see Phil wacking him)

Don't get me wrong--- I think he's a brilliant character, and it's been fun watching him go from cold-hearted, detached killer to a guy who's got no close personal relationships. I just love to hate him!  Since his mom/aunt/whatever died he's been a pretty lonely dude. Whenever he does interact with people (you really can't call Tony his friend although I guess that's as close as Paulie gets), he's got nothing worth saying.
 
 Hmmmmm... maybe he ends up dead in his house under a stack of newspapers, after the neighbors complain about the smell?

[K8teebug]

I love Paulie.  Even though he's annoying as hell.  I really don't want him to die.
 
 Bobby gets in the way of Phil killing Tony.  It makes the most sense.
 
 I am going to suffer severe Sopranos withdraw this Sunday.

A friend of mine and I were talking the other night about how a cool spin off of the Soprano's would be about Paulie and Tony's father.  
 
 We could see paulie tell a trooper he knows Barney Fife

[RustyOrgan]

heh. I hope that by 'cool' you mean 'shitty'

[lbcardoni]

Wow...
 
 The build up to Bobby getting killed was great.

[brennser]

yeah, last night was awesome
