The Sopranos - Starts with a Bang, Ends with ???



by Kitty Killy and Dale Nixon

In honor of the final season of HBO's hit series The Sopranos, Kitty and I have decided to give a special bonus team coverage of the first of the remaining nine episodes.

Wait, that makes this sound like a lame news show.

But as David Chase's hit series reaches a conclusion, the question of relevance remains. The last season was somewhat flat, with successful arcs involving Christopher's relapse, the AJ-Tony storyline, and of course the infamous Johnny Cakes, which launched six months of nicknames.

Predictions:
KK - I think AJ is going to kill his father, but not tonight.
DN - I'm fairly certain Silvio's going to get killed off, and the show is basically going to end with Tony, alone, shaking his head. I also think he'll finally bang Dr. Melfi.

All right, without further ado, PoisonedPens first live review.

DNix: okay. is this going to be a setup episode or come out with a bang?
KK: I'm hoping for an AJ-Tony showdown.
DNix: already?
DNix: I don't think so. AJ isn't a strong enough character yet
KK: A setup.
KK: What about his Puerto Rican gf?
DNix: she's still here
DNix: I saw a pic of her on the site. I think that Adriana's ghost is going to make a bunch of appearances.
KK: Yeah! Can't wait.
DNix: She(Drea De Matteo) likes scummy rocker dudes in real life (Shooter Jennings, etc)
KK: Yay, Chase has writer credit.
DNix: he directed the last episode too
KK: Ok! We saw a gun and it went off! Great start.
DNix: That kid should get stitches (snitches get stitches reference!)
DNix: AJ's look is so North Jersey now
KK: I love Meadow n her legalese.
DNix: Pork Chop, that's great...
KK: Oh man, Phil. Trouble.
DNix: Will Meadow take it all over?
KK: A little less than respectful.
KK: That's a stretch.
KK: Love the machine gun!
DNix: Bobby's such a good character now
KK: Oh man, talk of a wall.
KK: Yup.
KK: So much foreshadowing.
DNix: Tony gets a beej!
DNix: Birthday beej!
KK: B-day bj! Woo!
KK: It's too calm.
DNix: Morbid fucks - great line
KK: Dis beautiful schpot, ha ha.
DNix: Oh jeez, this is dragging...karaoke.
KK: Monopoly? Ugh.
DNix: Middle-aged boredom. ugh is right
KK: They are drizzunk.
KK: Carmela is wasted!
KK: I love when Tony is magnanimous. Whoops, spoke too soon!
KK: Holy shit!
KK: U still there?
DNix: Rule #1 - Don't give drunk house guests automatic weapons
KK: Oh man, hotel on the face.
DNix: Fair and square?
KK: Wish the clock said 420.
KK: Tony is a prince.
DNix: So was Machiavelli
KK: Ya, brilliant too.
KK: Go home n bust AJ's party!
DNix: Shit, I better not look like that at 47!
DNix: The ducks. Always the ducks. Never Chinese, always the ducks
KK: I hope l look like Carm.
KK: Ponies of Bud.
DNix: oh man...poor Bobby.
KK: Bobby's last ride?
DNix: Golf club in the skull?
KK: Carm is so uncomfortable.
DNix: Carm is going to get cancer.
DNix: You watch and see.
KK: Damn, that's dark.
KK: Janice's tattoo cracks me up.
DNix: She shot him in the face! That's not a separate way!
KK: Expired meds, what a scam.
DNix: All meds, what a scam.
KK: Ha ha. Mob md.
DNix: 10 minutes...
KK: Is my provider of choice.
KK: Lots of tension, but still dull. Bobby is gonna pop his cherry.
DNix: Uh oh...dead rocker!
KK: White sneakers, au revoir.
DNix: A bientot
DNix: Bobby is dead man walking.
KK: Bobby, changed.
KK: Nostalgic ep.
DNix: Is there ever redemption on the Sopranos!
KK: No! AJ got away w it again, for now
DNix: You are really on the AJ thing. He deserves to get shot for his fade beard.
KK: I think it's coasting in to a bloody ending.
DNix: Maybe AJ gets killed, Carm gets cancer and Tony is left standing alone, handing the keys to...
DNix: Meadow!
