I'm a huge fan. It is amazing TV, it can't be denied.
So what the fuck is going to happen? I was against all the rumors about Meadow taking over the family. But I'm now starting to think that it might happen. What will happen to Tony? If I think about it too much, I will go insane waiting for Sunday Nights... Any other Soprano freaks out there in forkers land?

Erock, you'll have to ignore this thread, because it makes sense to discuss it now. Sorry.
Rman, my dad has always said Meadow would take over because she's smart as hell. I think they'd have to off Finn (maybe because he saw Vito "being gay" at the worksite a few years ago?) or they'd have to do something big to make her MAD.
Honestly, I can't tell what they're building up to this season.

Definetely The Ticket, those ESPN bastards wouldn't know good TV if it [insert metaphor].- Mere "Sam's been listening to EPSN or The Ticket talk about it a lot" 1975
I think Vito being outed now means that the Finn thing won't happen unless he tracks down the guys that saw him at the bar and offs them before they can tell anyone. That already doesn't look like its going to happen. I don't think he is going to do it himself right away. I'm going for something more shocking.
Paulie is going nuts now, too.

I think Vitos toast (real soon). And I'll be glad to see him go. It seems Fin and Meadow are already disenchanted with one another. Med is probably realizing he is just too weak for her. She needs a strong Italian I'd say. Somebody like the "Waste Management Prince"...The two of them getting together sure would solidify things. Paulie...now I'm not sure what is going to happen there. Either way...I don't see a happy ending for Tony 
I like connecting things.
Is he the one who just took over his dad's business? The ski instructor guy in the rowboat who got his knee hit by Paulie?? As soon as he and Meadow met at the hospital, there were sparks. At least a double-take on his part, I noticed.Somebody like the "Waste Management Prince"...The two of them getting together sure would solidify things.
He'd make a lot more sense for her than a skinny dentist.

At first the Barone kid annoyed me by seeming to be unaware that a waste management company run by italians in north jersey might not be 100% on the level. Then he seemed to snap out of it and get with things. He may be less of a wimp than Fin, but he is going to have to show me something more before I think Meadow will go for it. The question with Meadow is, will she be her mother's daughter or her father's? We all seem to be going father so far, but that could change.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Phil Leotardo kills Paulie before Vito offs himself. They will manage to make Vito's demise even sadder than suicide in a crappy motel. I think it will take some more set-up before Meadow's thread gains steam, ie next year.
Or maybe not.

I agree the Barone kid has a ways to go. I also think it will take awhile for things with Meadow to develop. It should work nicely time wise for next with the Barone kid finally opening his eyes to his family and their connections and deciding whats his is his. But he is going to have claim it. As far as Phil goes...I have a bad feeling that he will kill Tony in the end. Some of the looks between the two have been real creepy. As for vito...whatever happens to that slime ball will be fine with me. I agree though that the suicide set up was a bit to easy....Someone is about to bust through that motel door next week...probably. Either way....he doesn't have long.

I was thinking as in next year....the final 8 episodes of "this season" are going to air after a short break (I think). I know they haven't been filmed yet.
Oh yeah...David Chase is definetly one of my heros.
*************************
Born in Mt. Vernon, New York, and raised in New Jersey, David Chase (born David DeCaesare) dreamed of being a star--a star drummer in a rock band! He spent many years playing drums and bass trying to be part of a successful rock band in the 1960s East Coast music scene. He also loved movies, such as The Public Enemy (1931) with James Cagney and TV shows like "The Untouchables" (1959) with Robert Stack. When not making music, he watched 1960s' Hollywood and foreign films avidly. After his music career ended, he got the inspiration to buy a movie camera and make his own movies. He studied at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and later the graduate film program at Stanford University. He began writing for network TV drama programs in the early 1970s. He eventually became a writer and producer on the classic NBC detective show "The Rockford Files" (1974) with James Garner. While on "Rockford", he penned many memorable episodes and pieces of dialog. He won his first Emmy in 1978, the year "Rockford" won the award for Best Dramatic Series. Many biographies incorrectly state that Chase won his first Emmy for writing the acclaimed TV movie, Off the Minnesota Strip (1980) (TV). Although it is a sensitive and well observed story about a young runaway trying to make sense of her life after being returned to her midwestern family from a life of prostitution in New York City, Chase actually won his second Emmy (and a Writer's Guild Award) for that project. He then spent the 1980s and early 1990s getting paid for writing various TV scripts while writing feature film projects that never got produced. He also began directing his TV scripts whenever possible. He often told people stories about the troubled relationship he shared back in New Jersey with his mother. Encouraged to write about it, he found a way to combine a story about his mother with a mob story and a story about psychotherapy, which Chase had also began during this time. This intersection of ideas and themes led Chase to write the landmark pilot script to a show that the Fox network developed, then passed on shooting. HBO then decided to roll the dice with Chase on this odd mixture of mother/son conflict, mobster danger and insecurities about psychological therapy. The result: "The Sopranos" (1999). Everybody connected with the project thought they would film a pilot episode, it would not go to series and that would be that. It has since gone on to become one of the most successful shows to ever come out of a cable network. Chase and his crew have collected Emmy, Golden Globe, Writer's Guild and Director's Guild Awards for the show. In terms of impact and subject matter, it has been compared to The Godfather (1972). Chase vows to get his feature film projects off the ground, as soon as "The Sopranos" ends its run.

Leotardo is without a doubt the biggest threat to Tony's life and business. North Jersey is a whole different realm from NYC though and I don't think Phil would be allowed to run the two together without an external crisis. That could come in the form of the possible terrorists that Christopher has been associating with?
Thank god!This intersection of ideas and themes led Chase to write the landmark pilot script to a show that the Fox network developed, then passed on shooting.
There will be something to look forward to when the show finally ends.Chase vows to get his feature film projects off the ground, as soon as "The Sopranos" ends its run.
i have been a sopranos fan since day one and hate to see it leaving us but the build up to teh end is great so far.
i found it very interesting how tony felt the family slipping from his grasp last week and felt he needed to make an example out of 'muscles' that he still had it. although his trip to the bathroom after the fight might signify that he actually doesnt.
