Okay guys lets be serious.
Okay.
1. Tony Soprano gets shot, but not his family.
The most likely, along with #7. Though I'd have to say I'm against it, for reasons I've said
here.
2. Tony Soprano along with his family gets shot.
Very unlikely. Where in the series do you see any family intentionally getting shot? The closest I can think of is the Ukranian Phil Leotardo look-alike's mistress.
3. Tony Soprano's family gets shot, but not him.
Even more unlikely than #2.
4. Meadow walks into the bullet taking the hit instead of Tony.
GDFATHER PART III LOLZ!
5. Hitman attempts to shoot Tony, but misses, and Tony pulls out a gun and shoots the Hitman.
Like Junior's attempted hit on Tony at the end of Season One? Nah, I don't buy it.
6. Someone in Tony's crew, Paulie for example, was aware of the hit and got to the restaurant just in time to prevent the shooting.
Nah, on two levels: why would
anyone be aware of it, and why wouldn't Paulie simply ring Tony?
7. Nothing happens. No one gets shot.
As likely as #1. Reasons #2 to #6 have little weight. The blackout comes down to #1 and #7 - if it's even a question at all.
