I thought I posted this last night, but now I can't find it... oh well... Anyway, I heard that the Sopranos chockablock with shenanigans. Is this true? I want to know whether I can expect this or not!

I don't understand your question. Are you talking about the upcoming episodes? The New ones?

Maybe by chopablock he means to decapitate. Which would refer to Ralphie in Season 4?? Like you, I have no idea what he is asking.

I think he wants to know if "The Sopranos" is worth watching?
Well yes has to be the answer does'nt it?

That would be a definite YES! I wish he had used proper grammer so I could understand him!

When are new episodes scheduled to begin?

According to the website the first sunday in April

April 8th...at one point it was January

Until James Gandolfini needed surgery after injuring his knee in NY....darn that Tony Soprano!

Yeah I know...while he was driving a moped! Gandolfini is a large man, why the hell is he riding a moped!?

Maybe he had one of his classic Tony Soprano anxiety attacks and blacked out!

By the way, any revised ideas about plot lines from anybody? I still say that Ade is not dead.

I have a bridge I wanna sell ya.

Or a swamp

I liked Adrianna, but I too think she is really "dead." I can't imagine how they could realistically bring her back.


TIS

We don't know where in her body Silvio shot her. We don't see that. TV has given us some bizarre plotlines (how about Bobby Ewing's dream); Ade's return would not even have to reach that threshhold.

I can see a teaser during the final seconds of one of the final episodes as the camera pans by a hospital intensive care unit where we see a blonde women lying in a bed hooked up to all kinds of tubes and machines. Is it Ade or isn't it?

olivant -

I'm ALMOST at the point of believing that you really feel that Adriana is still alive.

PLEASE tell me that you are kidding.

Can't tell you that SC. I think her reemergence is quite a possibility. E vero!

Adriana is dead.

Listen to the audio commentary on that particular episode. Drea de Matteo confirms that Adriana is indeed dead.

OK.... my predictions for the final episode:

• Big Pussy will rise from the bottom of the ocean explaining that he was holding his breath
• Ralpn Cifaretto will return explaining that after he lost his head he took some anger management courses
• Vito Spatafore will come back after explaining that he sang a lot of religious hims (errr, I mean hymns) and that was his salvation
• Jackie, Jr. will return explaining that he used some of the drugs he dealt - they were miracle drugs
• Adrianna will return explaining that Sylvio only wounded her

And twenty or thirty women ago I told Marlene Marcello that I would never love anyone but her.

Works for me.

Considering that we never saw Sil actually shoot her, anything is possible.

Thanks for the support Babe.

But really, one need only remember Bobby Ewing and the dream to see the possibilities.

I would say shes 99% dead,why would Silvio not finish the job,she was crawling away on her knees,no chance of escape for her..

But she was his niece, his blood. Maybe he couldn't quite bring himself to do it, shot into the ground, and helped her escape. Like I said, anything's possible.

Maybe it's time for us all to revisit finale scenarios for the series. Let's post them. Below is one I proposed a couple of years ago. It doesn't incorporate Ade, but it could be edited to do so.


Okay. Here's my Soprano series finale.


The FBI conducts a widespread dragnet to round up Soprano family members. They find some of them at Silvio’s club, at Satriale’s, and at their homes. They raid Tony’s home where they find him. Many of the series’ women are gathered there for Meadow’s wedding shower like Carmela, and Rosalie, and Janice, etc. They are grouped near the front door. After the FBI escorts Tony outside, Agent Grasso is the only one left in the house near the door and he is about to walk out when one of the women makes a remark like “You ought to be ashamed of yourself paisan. You betray your people, your heritage.”

Grasso has one hand on the door handle, but stops when he hears those words. He looks down at the floor for a few seconds. He looks up, let’s go of the door handle, and walks a few steps toward the women. He stops a few feet from them and starts talking.

“There was this kid, 20 or so. One night he and a couple friends raided a card game. Unfortunately, they killed one of the players. The guy who ran the game was a made guy and he knew who the kid was. So, the kid got scared. He ran; he hid out. So, the guy asked his boss what he should do about the kid. His boss told him to do what he thought he needed to do. So, later that week the kid was found with a bullet in the back of his head.

Grasso walks a couple of steps closer toward the women. "You see, the kid’s name was Jackie Aprile and the guy that ordered him killed was Ralph Cifaretto. And the boss that gave Ralph the go ahead to murder the kid was – he pauses - Tony Soprano."

Grasso turns and walks out the door. The women stand there horrified. The camera moves from one women’s face to the other. Then Meadow falls to her knees crying. Anthony Jr. walked in just at the as Grasso is teling his tale and now he runs out of the house.

The camera fades to black.

The next scene opens with an extreme closeup of someone’s profile. All you can see is the eye in profile. The camera pulls back. It’s Tony. He’s sitting in a lawn chair by the pool in the backyard of his home. He’s dressed in his shorts, a v-neck t-shirt, and his robe. He doesn’t move; he’s just staring straight ahead. The pool is empty. But it is littered with a lawn chair or two, a half deflated beach ball, a small rusted table. The lawn in the backyard is unmowed; it’s scraggily. There is lawn furniture littering the yard along with pieces of newspaper. Obviously, the place is not being kept up.

The camera swithches back to Tony’s eye in profile. Then you hear a flutter of wings and a few quacks. The ducks have returned. The camera shows them walking around a little near the edge of the pool. Then the camera centers on the eye of one of the ducks. Then it switches back to Tony’s eye. Then back to the ducks as they fly off.

When the camera switches back to Tony, there is a someone standing between the camera and Tony. You see the backside of a women in a nice suit skirt. It’s Dr. Melfi. You hear her say “It’s time, Tony.”

The camera moves slowly to her right as Tony gets up from the chair. Dr. Melfi walks toward him and takes his hand as they both walk toward the back door of the house. When they get to the door, Tony stops and turns to Dr. Melfi and asks, “Where are we going?”

She answers. “Hell” and they open the door and walk into the dark house and the door closes behind them.

Bravo Olivant, you've done Plawrence proud !
I love the idea of the women all finding out the truth behind Jackie Jr's murder.
Do they remain in denial in favor of the money and the lifestyle ? My guess would be yes.

That IS a good ending, olivant!

Ditto,thats great.
