We're big junkies on real estate, home improvement (or restaurant improvement) shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not sure what kind of shows you're into, but if you get the time you should check it out.

Hope it gets done because I'd definitely be into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Love the show but thought his wife was sort of a strange character. She is so normal while her husband is completely a murderous, adulterous thug. Like she doesn't know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the son AJ character I disliked the most, at least the last couple seasons anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh hell yea. I irrationally liked young dumb Tony (played by Gandolfini’s son). All the music was great too. Young Uncle Junior and Livia were a trip too.

Yes, I have not either. Verizon charges to add and remove channels so I am not going to try a channel. They want me to pay to pay them more. Verizon is as bad as Microsoft trying to extract every dollar possible. I used to travel and would binge watch shows like Rome when I was on road and when I'd find a series I really liked I'd get it on DVD.

I think someone mentioned earlier in this thread when they we're on the boat and someone asked Tony what he thinks it's like to die and his response was. "Everything just goes back", or something to that effect. The ending pretty much confirms that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomper Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I don't think it matters what happened. Let's get honest, there were only 3 outcomes. He gets his head blown apart, Carlo testifying and he goes to jail for forever and a day, or he skates away and goes on. I for one loved the ending. The creators always treated us like adults.

Not just the foreshadowing on the boat with Bobby B, but the way Chase filmed the restaurant scene from Tony’s POV. Every time someone entered the restaurant, we saw it from Tony’s POV. The last thing he (we) saw was Meadow entering and then total blackness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only took him 14 years to come up with one with no possibility of Tony coming back in a movie sequel.

I think Chase made it clear by the earlier interaction describing what happens when you die and then ending with the show going dark made most people believe Tony was indeed whacked.

Yeah, I remember Tony and the guy that got whacked and fell into the train set (forget his name) on the boat and that came up in their convo about what hapens when you die. I still think that if Gondolfini didn't die the possibility of a movie or spin off would have squashed the he died theory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, it would have been a prequel or sidestory while Tony was still alive and he makes cameos. I think they took Sopranos story arc as far as they could.

Wacka Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I loved how they incorporated the actor Joey Pants (Joe Pantaliano) wearing a toupee into Ralphie being dismembered. After Tony killed him, they are starting to cut him up in the bathtub and Christopher grabs his hair to pull his head up to cut off his head and the hair comes off in his hand. He yells and Tony says "didn't you know he had a rug?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving him the false sense of security, a (diet) Fanta, and Tony saying "you finished?" before he and Bompensiero opened up on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
