i just finished watching season 4 and now im wondering what season 5s gonna be like and if furios coming back what u guys think?

I think season 5 is gonna be excellent. I dont think that Furio will return right away, but eventually he probably will. I think that Carmine is gonna get whacked and I think it will happen early on. I also think Tony and Dr. Melfi will hook up, seeing as how they are both attracted to each other, they are both divorced, and he is no longer her patient.

u are very wise ragingbull

Why thank you... I do try.

tony is divorced? i thought he was separated...did i miss an episode?

Tony is not divorced. The last season ended when Carm and Tony split up.

Also, I don't remember Tony quitting Dr. Melfi???? I know he threatened a couple times not to go back, but always did. I don't think he "quit" her. I do agree that there is some sexual tension between the two tho.

Dont you remember the eppisode where tony told Melfi it was over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then it showed her calling Kupferberg, and she said, "Well guess who is no longer a patient of mine?" What else could that mean? And I know that tony and Carmella are only seperated, but I think that come season 5, they will be divorced.

After the spilt up with Carm, he did ring Dr Melfi but hung up remember.

Could have been to make another appointment, or might just have been to arrange a chat over dinner...

Seems to me there were a couple times Tony said he was done with her. If that were true, than Melfi would most likely be written out of the script. I just don't think that will happen. Then again, the show is full of surprises sometimes.

I truly think that tony is done as Melfi's patient. And I agree that she probably wont be written out of the script. thats why I believe that Tony and Melfi will start seeing each other.

Carmien is going to die of natural causes according to what I have heard. Paulie and Christopher will have some tensions towards eachother. A Capo who was in prison will come out and take command of his former crew within the Soprano Family. Heard it was really gonna be bloody.

I did hear that Paulie and Christopher would be seriousel at it. Oh man I cant wait.

Yeah, I've heard similar things. The actor Robert Loggia plays an aged former DiMeo/Soprano Family capo who comes out of prison and takes over his old crew. Which crew was his, I wonder? I don't think Junior's or Tony's crew ever belonged to him, so it was to be one of the Curto, Barese, Aprile, or Altieri crews.

Now, this DOES sound a lot like Richie Aprile: a guy gets out of prison and becomes a thorn in Tony's side. But I think it'll be different. Richie was a total psychopath, but wasn't the brightest bulb, either. No one respected him enough to go with his proposed coup of the Family. Thus, he was never a REAL threat to Tony's power.

Loggia's character, on the other hand, MIGHT be a legitimate threat. He's old, so he therefore is more experienced, wiser, and cagier than Tony. He won't go for the overt threats to "whack" Tony, like Richie did. This old capo will be more subtle than that.

As for Furio, I bet he turns up again, only this time he'll be working for someone else. He sure won't be working for Tony, who wants him dead. Might he end up working for his old Family in Naples again (the one that the lady boss Annalisa runs)? Maybe he'll end up working for Carmine Lupertazzi and John "Johnny Sack" Sacrimoni in their Brooklyn-based Family. But don't forget, Johnny and especially Carmine are REAL old school; for the perceived transgressions Furio has had with Tony's wife, maybe Furio won't be welcome in Carmine's Family, either. But if Furio's presence somehow means more money for them, I can see Carmine and Johnny siding against Tony.
So... exactly WHERE will Furio turn up?

Yes, I heard that Paulie and Christopher's "friendship" REALLY reaches a boiling point. Will it be to the point that they finally are exchanging blows and/or gunfire? We'll see.

And Steve Buscemi's character, that's a Wild Card NO ONE can predict. His character ought to be memorable, to say the least.

As for Carmela dying of natural causes, where did you hear that one? If it happens... WOW.

Carmine, not Carmella.......

OK, that makes a LOT more sense! I misread the other guy's post. I thought, "What? Carmela dies of natural causes? HOW?"

I can see Carmine dying of natural causes, Johnny taking over, and things going sour between North Jersey and New York. Johnny wasn't too happy with Tony at the end of Season Four.

Chris, you forget that Furio does not know Tony knows about him and Carmela (Carmela told TOny after Furio left), and thus could return with the excuse that he had things to deal with his family back home. Still, I don't think we'll see him again--the writers have an awful tendency to leave things go just like that.

Capo- I cant think of a time when the writers have done that except with the Russian guy from Pine Barrens.

CAPO SEZ: "Chris, you forget that Furio does not know Tony knows about him and Carmela (Carmela told TOny after Furio left), and thus could return with the excuse that he had things to deal with his family back home."

A GOOD point, CAPO. A very good point indeed. As Season Four ended, Furio doesn't know that Carmela spilled the beans to Tony.

I don't think this clip we saw was from Episode 1 of Season 5. I think it was a bit later in the season. Tony's words imply that Furio IS back, and is being sought by Tony. "The right people see him, he's a dead man!"

I think it's possible that Carmela contacted Furio in some way and let him know Tony is after him.

I'm not a big Sopranos viewer I have only watched season 4 so take it easy if I offend some of you and leave some stuff out. I feel as though the F.B.I. who has all that information through Christophers g/f there who puked on the desk. I think that Tony might come to a cross roads here with everything on the line and him maybe having to kill Chris and his g/f? I'm not sure though like i said i missed the first 3 seasons so i have limited knowledge

CANNOLIS: Before Season Four came out, I was thinking that something like that (Tony having to kill Christopher because he turned into a cooperating witness due to Adriana) would have happened, but it didn't.

But who knows, it may happen yet. There are a lot of possibilities for Season Five.
