Sopranos

Last night's show was pretty great, but I've got a  gripe.  Am I the only one who was bugged by the fact that Phil's crew planned to take out Tony, Sylvio, and Bobby simultaneously, yet Bobby and Syl get hit and Tony finds out before any attempt is made on him?  I know things don't always go as planned, but if your plan was to decapitate Tony's crew, wouldn't you start with Tony and make sure you got at least one shot at him before you went after the smaller fish?  Hell of a suspenseful episode, though.

Incredible episode. Incredible show. Perfect.

I don't think it seemed strange that they went after Silvio and Bobby before the other guys.  Maybe they just knew where they would be.
 
 I read that originally, this was supposed to be the last episode.  Strange seeing Tony back in his mother's house.
 
 The scene with Dr. Melfi was terrific.  Hell, the entire episode was terrific.

Yeah, that's what I figured for an explanation.  It's just that I can imagine Tony picking up the pieces after losing those two, but I can't imagine anyone, even Silvio, stepping in for Tony.  So I guess in my perfect gangster world, I'd make sure I got a shot at Tony before going after the others.  Of course, the botched hit on Phil shows that they don't live in a perfect world, so I should just shut up about that!
 
 Was that Tony's mom's house at the end?  I thought it was just some random house.

[K8teebug]

It was Tony's Mom's house.
 
 I couldn't get over all the "end" imagery.  The train coming into the station, Departure magazine, When the Music's Over...

[mbg73]

That's cool it was her house.  At first I thought it was, then after they got inside I thought it wasn't.  It's been a long time since I've seen that place.

Was it his Mother's house or was it Junior's house?  
 
 Did anyone notice the cardboard cut out of Silvio in the living room?

[RustyOrgan]

It was just an anonymous safe-house:

I actually went from thinking Mom's house to Junior's house to some random safe house, just b/c that made more sense in terms of hiding out.  Didn't see the Silvio cutout.  I knew it was gonna be a good episode when it started out with Silvio doing some strangling.

Just got finished watching the episode and I agree with all of the comments about last night's episode. The scene is the model train store was absolutely fabulous.

[kosmo vinyl]

In the words of Kosmette... "I just lost a couple years of life"   That must have been a couple of the most stressful minutes ever on TV and a great way to end the series.

[Vas Deferens]

I thought my cable went out, seriously.
 
 Anyway, I like closure. I was rooting for all members of the Sopranos to be massacred in that restaurant and I hope that's what happened.
 
 

[kosmo vinyl]

yeah we were looking to make sure the DVR hadn't turned off...  i recall saying that chase didn't a cliched ending and it certainly wasn't one

[kcjones119]

Add George Segal smacking the side of his TV and Kyle Gass opening a book and it's the same ending as "The Cable Guy."

[SalParadise]

beautiful.
 
 tony's looking at his gorgeous daughter walking into the diner.. just as suspicious dude has walked back out of the bathroom and put a gun to his head. and it all goes black.
