I agree, I think Paulie lives. I think I would have like to see Sil get killed instead of getting shot and is now in a coma. Wonder who will be acting Consigliere in Sil's absence? Carlo or maybe Patsy would be my guess.

I guess in the series finale () Tony will strike back and have Phil, Butch, and Albie killed. And I'm sure Phil will have a couple other Soprano Family men killed. Should be quite a finale!
