Then I'd have to assassinate the writers for such a cliche and lazy ending.

Yeah, I had a dream I was in the mafia for over half a decade.

You stole my idea. Actually, I proposed a dream as the basis for a GFIV.

I think "Dallas" was the first show to have a "just a dream" scenario, and I'd like to think most tv writers have learned from that.

I'd be mad if that happened though. ..Tony wakes up and he and Carm are really like Ward & June Cleaver?? You bet I'd be writing the show.

If it is just a dream, that would absolutely suck. It would ruin the entire series for me.

I think that David Chase is a much better writer than that, and has a much more clever ending in store for all of us fans.

Yeah that was Dallas and they did it because the show became a bust after killing off one of the more popular actors of the show. So a year later they claimed the last year was a dream. What a terrible fake cop out that was.

I'm with Vercetti, if this happened on the Sopranos I would seriously wrap a phone cord around someones neck.

Maybe...but if you think about it there was really no other way to believably bring back Patrick Duffy as Bobby. The way he was killed the season before left no mistake that the character was dead, dead DEAD. You couldn't bring him back from a long trip or mistaken identity. Having Pam dream it all was the most simple way to continue the story...and it must've worked because the series went on for several (maybe too many) years after that, when without Duffy it probably would've lasted maybe another season.

Speaking of the Soprano's, though...I heard previews this morning on Mark Simone's radio show. Tony is going to dream of what his life would've been like had he been a 'legitimate' business man. Also, not very pleasant things are suppose to happen to Uncle Junior. That's all I remember for now....

Bob Newhart did that idea already.

Hey, it could be a dream. Perhaps Tony really works at Satriale's or at Artie's restaurant and he overhears wiseguys all the time talking about their exploits. Whaddayathink?

Everyone in the indutry knows that "dream" endings or killing the main characters are cop outs.

As has been said before, it would probably ruin the series for me. But I'm willing to put money that it wont be "just a dream"
