Well Sopranos has wrapped up for another year with an action packed finale.
Not the usual style of a series close for the show (nobody important got whacked) but it still went out with a bang so to speak.
So Tony's moving out and the family (the blood one) is in tatters..
Johnny is ****ed about not being the boss in New York...
But role on Series 5, Corado "Uncle Junior" Soprano is back in town, watch for a family split again me thinks.
Any thoughts ??

Lat night's finale was probrably the best Soprano's episode ever.
Carmela and Tony were brilliant.

Yeah one wonders if Furio will ever raise his head again, might just get it chopped off and put in a bowling bag like Ralph. ;)
I wouldn't say its the best, Series 3 "Pine Barrons" (the snow, the russian, paulie and chris) is my favourite, plus a few series 1 episodes, but it was a good finale.
On an interesting note, the director for "Pine Barrons" the excellent Steve Buscemi is rumoured to be in talks to join the cast for series 5, now THAT would be cool.
Is it just me or would have Buscemi made an excellent Ralphie ? - not knocking Joe P. but I think Buscemi would have fit that utter sleaze role very well.
Just a thought...

I liked The Snow one , but I found this one better.
It was brilliant drama.
Is Steve Buscemi the guy who was in Armageddon and generally plays a loser in alot of Adam Sandler films?

Yeah that's the guy.
Generally a weasley, sleazey character usually a bit of a loser.
One of my favourites.
At his best in Fargo, Reservoir Dogs and Ghost World, and yes a comedic turn in pretty much all of Adam Sandlers movies including The Wedding Singer - "World's greatest guitar player - self taught - no thanks to you pop !"
Credits also include the Big Lebowski and Con Air.
Would be an excellent addition to the cast.

Totally agree, Carmella and Tony were just AWESOME in that episode. Gandolfini made me want to hit him in the face for the he was acting :D

When Carmela told him she had been fantasizing about Furio...oh how you could see the **** hitting the fan :)
Great performance, from Edie Falco especially. It'll be interesting to see where matters with New York go in season 5 if Johnny Sac decides to take care of things himself...
