My wife and I are excited about the upcoming season of Sopranos. We've been waiting for about 2 years for this next season. This show is addictive.
Originally, I missed the first few episodes of season one. I've never seen them. But HBO has been showing all of the Sopranos episodes in order lately. I started watching every episode, starting with season one, episode one about a month and a half ago. It's been great. I watch it every weekday night at 7pm. I'm picking up allot of stuff that I missed the first time around. Also, seeing the entire series from the beginning, in order, episode after episode is really making things more clear. There were some things that I was foggy about. There's such a long offseason between seasons that you can forget important details sometimes. The timing will be just right. I should finish the final episode just prior to March when the new season starts. I can't wait.
Discuss.......
After reading another Soprano's thread, the topic of SPOILERS came up. So I thought there should be some RULES about spoilers for this thread.
I would say that one should read and post at your own risk. We will bump this thread to the top after each episode and have a discussion of that episode. I don't know how you can have a discussion without revealing spoilers. I don't even know why they'd be considered spoilers if the episode has already aired and most of America has seen it. So, if you want to post a "spoiler warning" in your post, that's fine. But if you don't, no one should complain. If you haven't see the current episode, you should not read this thread until you have.
With that said, if you have some inside information about an upcoming episode that would be a spoiler, you SHOULD NOT post that on this thread. I can't imagine that happening, because the Soprano's producers gaurd their secrets like Fort Knox. But, if you know something about an upcoming episode, keep it to yourself until after the episode airs. This is really common sense stuff, but I thought it should be spelled out just to keep arguments to a minimum. [Reply]

spiritual question? What a load of BS.
The fade to black was just a cheap trick to fuck with the audience. You could have many more meaningful scenarios if Chase wanted some ambiguity on the fate of Tony. [Reply]

I said it before, it was a world were literally dropped into, and in the end we dropped back out, with all the apprehension and not knowing Tony lived with his entire life, whether he died right then or not.He knew there was danger afoot, he also knew he loved his family and wanted a normal night out with them. The danger that earned him his riches is the same danger that stalks him daily. We don't know what comes next forever, because Tony doesn't know what comes next, ever. [Reply]

“The Sopranos” creator David Chase accidentally spoiled the infamously cryptic series finale during a leaked interview for “The Sopranos Sessions,” his book celebrating the Emmy-winning HBO mob drama, reports the Independent.
At the end of 2007’s final episode, titled “Made in America,” Tony Soprano (played by the late James Gandolfini) is eating out with his family amid a turf war between the New Jersey and New York Mafia families while an enemy hitman waits in their midst.
The screen then fades to black as Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” blares on the soundtrack, leaving it ambiguous whether the show’s star gets whacked — until now.
Spoiler alert: In the roundtable discussion, co-author Alan Sepinwall asked Chase, “When you said there was an end point, you don’t mean Tony at Holsten’s [the diner], you just meant, ‘I think I have two more years’ worth of stories left in me.’ ”
Then Chase, 74, dropped the bombshell: “Yes, I think I had that death scene around two years before the end … But we didn’t do that.”
Noticing his epic leak, co-author Matt Zoller Seitz chimed in: “You realize, of course, that you just referred to that as a death scene.”
“F - - k you guys,” replied Chase upon realizing his blunder.
Indeed, in one fell swoop, the mob-show boss retrospectively spoiled a plot point that’s been debated for years by everyone from The Post to the “Sopranos” stars themselves.
Here’s hoping Chase’s goof doesn’t have spoiler implications for the “Sopranos” prequel, “The Many Saints of Newark,” which is slated to be released on March 12, 2021.
It was a stupid cop out. One of the main reasons Future audiences demanded clear endings at the end of a series. People got whacked on the show all the time. Someone taking out Tony was going to happen at some point. [Reply]
I don't get the problem everyone had with the ending, I thought it was pretty good. Tony was the protagonist of the show, so showing him get shot would have been unsettling, but knowing he dies fits with the grittiness of the show.
But my opinion may be unusual because I didn't watch the show until several years after it ended, and knew about the "controversial" ending going in. [Reply]
I knew right away they all got killed. It's a cliche ending, as endings to these types of stories are, and they handled it nicely by not actually showing it.
I was disappointing when Nucky met the same fate. It being done by that guys son. [Reply]
