This Sunday, April 8th, the last season is set to begin of one of my favorite television shows of all time . . .
The Sopranos.
Last season ended with viewers wondering, "What's gonna happen next?"
Uncle Junior shot
Tony in what appeared as an Alzheimer's induced confusion.
Carmella's continuing questions about
Adriana's disappearance were subdued after she found out that she would be able to continue working on her spec house.
AJ has a new love as does
Chris. But Chris' new love is an old fling of Tony's and she brings some old problems of Chris' back to reality.
Phil is in the hospital after a heart attack and Tony visits him to impart a little wisdom from his near death experience as well as make an attempt to bring peace between the two. Agent Harris tells Tony that there is trouble brewing . . . someone may be in danger. But, we never find out who is in danger. Paulie may have cancer.
There's certainly enough drama, lies, and secrets to make for a memorable final season. But how will it all end?
- If anyone's going to be whacked, it will probably be Chris. With his heroin problem starting up again and with him fooling around with an old flame of Tony's, I think he's really pushing the limits of Tony's patience. Furthermore, if Carmella pushes about the Adriana problem Chris may be seen as even more of a liability.
- What is AJ's future? I think there's a chance that AJ might try to get a spot for himself in the family business. Even though Tony doesn't want him to do it, and AJ doesn't really have the right constitution for it, we may see that Tony allows it. I still think it's a long shot however.
- Will the FBI move in again? If Tony has real problems I believe this is where they will come from. I think problems from Phil and Johnny have been avoided, but that doesn't mean they won't flip on Tony.
- Does Paulie have cancer? Yes. And I think we'll see a change in Paulie as a result.
- What of Meadow? I think a very dramatic ending to The Sopranos would be that Meadow returns home to run the family. I know this is pretty doubtful, but think about it . . . Meadow is smart . . . very smart. She's hot. Combine the two and I think there would be one hell of a powerful woman. Most likely, this won't happen. Maybe she'll marry her dentist-to-be boyfriend and move off to the burbs?
- Will Carmella finish her spec house? That all depends. If Tony is brought up on charges and put in prison, I doubt it. Also, if the whole Adriana mess comes out into the open . . . who knows? Maybe Carmella will get whacked if she keeps pressing.
Are you a Sopranos fan? What are your predictions?
