is there any sites where you can watch the last episode of the sopranos -will be away next week
Sublime yet again last night.
The reference to Raging Bull was particularly class.
I will miss this show terribly.
I never thought I’d be upset about a TV programme ending - I can only imagine how I’ll feel if Home and Away ever ends.

www.tvlinks.co.uk I believe is a great website for viewing tv shows. I can’t access the link in work but I was told it was right
the above or else download the torrent from torrentspy.com or a similar site

here it is here - cracking
What did ye make of the ending? Glad it wasn’t an obvious killing for closure but it was a touch odd. Still weighing it up in my head.
I thought it was magnificent. The build up and the tension generated with them arriving one-by-one after Tony and all the other suspicious characters pottering around was outstanding imo. I was actually waiting for the hit and I thought there was a possibility of a Godfather type scene when Michael goes into the toilet and re-emerges with the gun but then as that shady guy disappeared into the bathroom and Meadow finally arrived inside it was gone - literally leaving you begging for more. Leaves it open for a film in the future too.
Big shout out to AJ - again he had a host of absolutely killer lines tonight. The episodes where he’s been central to things have been classic this series.
Also loved the scene with Tony and Junior near the end.
Smashing, smashing show - my favourite of all time, after Home and Away.

“Big shout out to AJ - again he had a host of absolutely killer lines tonight. The episodes where he’s been central to things have been classic this series.”
Really ??!
i have to admit that when his various storylines were proceeding i just wanted to smack the little fucker upside the head.
i guess its the classical dissafected youth but i just wanted him to cop the fuck on.
would have been much better if he’d done the hit on his da .
now there’s a storyline!!
still a great series ,although the last 2 seemed to plod on a bit.
all those cop shows on tele - nypd,the shield,the badge,the donut… whatevever.
they dont compare coz deep down everyone just loves a baddie.
Have to agree with josepi73. Thought AJ’s dialog was really forced and disjointed. Loads of rubbish about capitalism and current US admin that didn’t fit with his later idea of joining army.
Final scene was superb. So heavy with tension.

I haven’t been a huge watcher of the Sopranos - not because I didn’t like it, just never got round to watching it ever. Still that’s not going to stop me having an opinion and I was a touch surprised when AJ went on about joining the army. Was that supposed to be an act of rebellion? How much more conformist can you get? Maybe that’s just America but it didn’t add up for me.
Still it’s a cracking programme and fair play to them for not going with an obvious ending.
Liked the way it left it open-ended. Much more appropriate than a bookending piece of lazy story-telling.
Re AJ, I’ve liked the character a lot and especially enjoy the way your man underacts it but they were kind of playing him for laughs a bit towards the end.
This is getting a bit wanky here but was the final scene emphasising the mundane details of life, i.e. waiting in a restaurant for someone, parking a car, in a reference to one of the main themes of the programme, the regular family life lying behind a mobster’s life
Been getting a few other people’s views on last night and it’s good the way the ending left it open for you to make your own conclusion.
Some are adamant Tony was wacked at the end.
The blackness at the end signifying the bullet going into his head.
There’s other things that kind of point to this too.
There was a flashback scene towards the end of last week’s episode after Bobby was killed where Tony was thinking of the scene on the lake with him and Bobby from early in the series when they discussed how they probably wouldn’t even realise it when the time came - ‘I wonder if you’ll hear the one that gets you.’ And the scene in the restaurant was like this with Tony oblivious to what was going on around him.
There’s also the view that Tony arrived first and then his family came after to join him for ‘The Last Supper’. They even ate the onion rings like Holy Communion while waiting for Meadow!
There was also mention in a previous series that Janice walked in on Tony’s father being killed - last night ended with the door ringing as Meadow walked into the restaurant.
Either way - I thought it a classic.
I think the last scene was simply an illustration that Tony may be the main man now but for the rest of his life he’ll be waiting to get shot. There was nothing extraordinary about the scene at all - it was simply the mundane existence of New Jersey life. At the same time it was filled with tension because he could be shot at any time.
I don’t believe we’re expected to think he was shot there and then. The whole point to me is that he could conceivably have been shot by 4 or 5 different guys in the caf. And that’s the way his life will be forever. He can’t escape it. They were pretending there was dramatic irony where we knew what was going to happen and Tony didn’t. The reality is we were just as clueless as him but as he was obviously nervous so was Tony and he will always be in danger.
Wasn’t inpressed with the ending at first but the more I think about it was actually a class finish to it.
To be honest my first thought at the end was RTE had fucked it up so when the credits came I was a little surprised and pissed off. On reflection I don’t think we would have been happy with any ending. The ending leave’s it open to interpretation. Some people may think Tony got whacked, others that he lives on, like the song goes ‘don’t stop believing’! The tune for the final scene is very good, it really builds it up that you think he’s going to be whacked, especially when the guy walks by to go to the toillet…brilliant!
Was talking to someone there and appartently the director wanted to have it blacked out for 30 seconds at the end of the show but they settled for 11 seconds. Assume American TV networks wouldn’t go for such a long pause. Its interesting all the theories going around.
We bid you adieu Tony!
