if season six [part 2] never happened and instead tonys crew gets taken down, tony is looking at serious time. any guy in the whole series can implicate him. even aj can get him on gun charges.lol. hes looking at life plus 100 at best. he takes one look at the people who have ratted on him, larry barese, ray, gene ponticorvo. he then looks at meadow, who he loves above all things in the world. and shes crying becuase she will never be able to see her father again. and he realizes there is no honor in the life, there is no one left. who does he have to impress? paulie? patsy? new york? he looks back at the judge and says 'fuck it'. he gives up anyone and everyone he can so he even has the slightest chance to see meadow again.

can you see tony loving 'the life' more than his daughter? i dont think so.
