Soprano's 5th Season Finale (6/4) (Spoilers)

I initially thought the real-estate agent was with the FBI, going from Tony to Christopher. ... But then she started doing drugs.

 

Absolutely nothing happened in that episode that was necessary. The season could have ended last week with no change to ANY plot arc. This episode moved us nowhere whatsoever.

Phil's heart attack is a cheap deux machina

 

I mentioned this about six weeks ago in an episode thread. I still think it could be true. I believed Harris was never on terrorism, and the Middle Eastern guys were working with Harris.

 

marguiles turns 40 on thursday. damn she looks good. ;D http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000523/

 

I thought Chrissy was gonna get it at the restaurant last night with Julianne. He's my favorite character too, so I'm glad he didn't, although it would've made for nice TV. I hope Paulie gets it next, he's been ready to go for a couple of years now.

The Arab dudes theory is interesting, it honestly never crossed my mind. I did think Julianne was FBI too, and I still think there's a shot. Don't some undercover people have to do drugs to get in with the bad guys? Or is that just an urban myth?

 

I think Sil whacked Adrianna in a forest some distance from the Sopranos' base of operations. It would have been utterly stupid of Sil (he does do stupid stuff sometimes, but not THAT stupid) to whack her and leave her body on land owned by Carmela -- if the body is ever dug up, the Feds are on Tony Soprano's doorstep 30 seconds later.

Carmela IS going to follow up on the idea of having a PI investigate Ade's disappearance. It was made too much of a point of her looking at the PI's business card, before making the calls to get work going again on the spec house at the end of the episode.

The Arab guys also have to figure into the conclusion of the final episodes. My guess is, because of Christopher's stupidity and negligence, the Soprano family is now tied pretty deeply into supporting terrorism, which will bring the Feds down on the family not only from the organized crime angle, but the homeland security angle as well.

 

Jack Bauer was once addicted to heroin.

Scratch that, heroin was addicted to Jack Bauer when he got in with the Salazars a few seasons back.

 

Sil drove Adrianna either downstate or into New York someplace. And it happened before Carmela bought the land.

 

Hey...was that Svetlana (sure as hell looked like her, thought I saw crutches) as the maid in the Leotardo house?
That might figure into some things.

 

No way.

 

i don't think so, although i'm not sure. i think we got the glimpse of the maid because phil is banging her -- we know that because of how they were giggling when approaching the storefront that got bombed. that's the kind of gimmick we'd expect on lost, not on this show.

as for carmela investigating adrianna's disapperance, i thought the shot was of her tossing the kroll guy's business card into the ashtray -- as in trash.

 

I'm watching the first season over again (for about the 6th time) now and I just realized that Joe Gannascoli AKA Vito actually appears as someone else in a Season One episode. Remember the time Chris shot the bakery employee in toe? It was the 8th show that year. Gannascoli is the guy, Gino, in the bakery that Chris orders out before he shoots the kid.

I don't think it took Season 6 for the writers to show how stupid these guys can be. It was obvious from the beginning.
