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

they've won me already with this start.

 

if Christopher makes it out of this episode, I'll eat my hat.

 

The end?
Seriously. wtf.

 

I guess I'll need some mustard to go with that hat.
would have liked a little more action tonight. no clue what to expect in the final eight.

 

what the hell?

 

Great job of making us think Chris was gonna get it. Every time he stepped outside (apartment, diner, AA, etc.) I was expecting a drive-by or something.

 

this is fucking bullshit.

 

Very lame ending to the season. You hint that Christopher was gonna get whacked and it ends with a freakin' family Christmas party?

I hope to God that they have some better plots for the final 8 episodes next winter, because this season mostly sucked.

 

I was with anyone saying they expected Chris to get hit walking out of one of the many places he was. Great job by Chase on that.

Every time they play some Bob Dylan sounding song, I have this sense of doom, just based on previous things that have happened in the series. Anyone else get that?

 

Nah, they did a lot with this episode...they defused the New York/New Jersey war, showed Chrissy standing up to Tony and A.J. grew up a bit. Plus, any episode with a Stones tune AND Julianna Marguilies walking around in her underwear is good in my book.

 

I agree that suspense was there the entire episode ray: Christopher...But still, I don't know how much the plot moved along. I'm guessing at some point they are going to address the Paulie kissing A.J.'s new girlfriend at some point...My guess is that she might have been one of Paulie's old women on the side.

Also, interesting that Harris gave Tony the tip. Makes you think Tony going to see Phil in the hospital definitely saved Chrissy's life for the time being. ... I think he gets it early in the final 8.

 

Loved how Tony justified AJ's new "questionable" girlfriend. "At least she's Catholic..."

Nice to see AJ get some semblance of happiness/stability in life and perhaps bring closure to that whole deal.

Also curious how Phil reacts post-heart attack.

And yes, NO FUCKING CLUE what they're gonna do with the last eight eps from here.
