Episode 85- "Blue Comet"

The allegiance of those closest to Tony is put to the test. Meanwhile, a case of mistaken identity has serious ramifications in Episode 85: "Blue Comet."


Only 2 left!!!

I think the mistaken identity is what is stated in the previous thread where they think Paulie is the one who turns, and he isn't.

Word on the street (the street being Deadwood Stage) is that following will be killed in this episode...

Don't Look if you Don't Wanna Know!




Bobby
Silvio
Patsy

I'm no genius, but I guess that really puts the kabosh on a Sopranos Movie - unless its a prequel (which would be ridiculous because everyone looks older and fatter than when they started back in 1999).

Unless they make the movie "a 2-hour dream sequence."

We don't need another Dallas.

I really wouldn't be interested in an early 90's prequel. I do, however, think an "early years" movie focusing on Johnny and Junior Soprano, would be pretty interesting. They could set it in the 60's like A BRONX TALE. The storyline possibilities are endless. Throw in a kickass soundtrack a la BRONX TALE and I think it could be great.

This is off topic, but didn't want to start a thread just for it. My sister and her husband were in Germany during Christmas. They were originally scheduled to fly out of Germany, to London, back to Baltimore. But there was fog in London, so all flights were cancelled. They wound up flying from Germany, to Paris, to New York, then were driving home from New York. Anyhoo, my sister (who is a big GF and mafia fan) was in baggage claim or someplace at the airport in Paris with her daughter and son. My brother in law is by himself, and he sees walk by him Furio,Federico Castelluccio. He just said he loved the show. Furio seemed nice and thanked him, but did it low key. I'm sure he didn't want a big mob to recognize him and come flooding over. So he just walked away. My sister at the point shows up, and my brother in law pointed out who was leaving. Of course, he had no camera or anything on him.

I'd love a prequel. I'd like to see when Tony made the transition to mob guy.

Byt he way, on a rerun the other night which I had never seen before, why were Paulie and others speculating that Pussy had been turned way back in '95. That doesn't match up with the episodes does it?

That'd be pretty cool. They could re-cast a younger thinner actor as Tony in the early 80's, which if you think about it was really the beginning of the end of the mob as we knew it.

But I'd still like to see some real period stuff, 60's and 70's.

How about this idea that would take place in between season four and five. A movie about Tony'sman hunt for Furio as he hides in Italy? It would be called The Sopranos: Furio's Revenge. Though if Tony and a few major character survive the finale...we'll see a movie. Too much money for Chase to turn down.

I'm looking for "Ade's Revenge".

Nah, I don't think Chase will make a Zombie film. She's dead, yot gotta let it go.

Less than an hour away from showtime, fellas...any last-minute ideas? Hope y'all enjoy the show, and I can't wait to read your thoughts and reviews, after.

If you go to the message boards some say Tony will wind up really being Kevin Finnerty, a patient of Dr. Melfi, and Tony is just HIS dream.

Call Italy???? "Who do you want to run the thing?" Is he talking Furio???? At least Tony got a heads-up from the Feds no less.

Wow! That hour flew by. I need time to digest

Watching the model train fall off the rails is probably symbolizing the last episode. The Soprano "family" seems to be going down.

I was expecting deaths of major characters, but im' still shocked nonetheless. At least Paulie is showing loyalty until the end.

OMG!! OMG!!! OMG!!! First of all, Sil?? Bobby?? NO!! And how funny was it to see Patsy running down the stream??

Btw, who did Sil kill? I'm still not sure, although he explained that it was someone who was playing both sides with Phil's crowd, but I'm still not sure who he was.

And Melfi?? How could she?? It's the second to last episode!! Why throw him out now when it's almost all over?? OK, she doesn't know that, but that was so sad to see, although Tony cracked me up with the magazine page.

Does anyone know - when Tony is in the safe house - is that the gun that Bobby gave him for his birthday??

Sil wasn't very smart having his gun in the bag in the backseat, especially with what was going on.

It's funny watching Phil eliminate Tony's famil one by one, esepcially after Tony thought he was going to run all over when Phil took over.

Yeah, it's the gun.

Good episode. Lots of suspense, although some was taken thanks to me reading spoilers for it, the hits came sort of unexpectedly anyway.

Honestly, that's the part I found a little hard to believe. Wouldn't he have his gun right near him, like Tony did??

Sil garrotted Burt Gervasi, Carlo Gervasi's cousin for Phil because he was playing "both sides of the fence."

Obviously Phil stuck the favor back up his ass.

This episode probably gave me the most suspense out of all the seasons. We all knew what was gonna happen to Bobby when he hear he left his phone in his car.

Very upsetting episode.

The only comment I wanna make now is that I agree with Tony... Melfi dropping him now is immoral. As much as I don't like Tony now, she's a [BadWord].

Great episode!

Phil is really old school Cosa Nostra.

Did anyone pick up the Cavalleria Rusticana / Raging Bull / GFIII ending theme playing when they were in the restaurant planning the hit on New York, play fighting?

You're right, SC. But I thought that it was rather ironic to have someone as completely immoral as Tony to call someone else immoral.

I wonder if she'll be shown in the next episode, and now is when Tony probably could have used Junior for advice. He's lost Sil, so who does he go to now?

I thought that was great, with them mimicking the slow-motion of Raging Bull. I thought it was so bizarre that they could be talking about death and murder one minute, then play-boxing the next.

Bobby was also stupid. I find it amusing that Soprano family is looked like total tools this episode, Bobby left his cell phone and gun in his car after a major hit on a boss of a family.

It was fitting. They were getting ready for a big "Fight."

that did not even feel like an hour. instant classic. all of that came very fast,Bobby, Patsi & maybe Silvio??

tony didnt look like he was believing sils story in the beginning

glad tony finally got tuff with aj playin the depression card

need some time to take that all in...damn

They're truely a mickey mouse crew.
