The Sopranos is the best show in the history of television.... this is indisputable.

Holy f***ing s***.

 

LOL.

KINDA SORTA A SPOILER BELOW

I heard 1 killing, 1 suicide and 1 "oh my God is he dead...?" in the first episode alone.

 

I'm going out on a limb and sayin'...he ain't dead.

 

Good way to kick off the year. What is the name of the guy who killed himself. That was the most he was ever in an episode...and now...HE GONE!

^^^^

 

My thoughts exactly. But shocking nonetheless.

 

 

Boy, are we all in for a ride this season.

Didn't they show Tony handing bread to Julianne Margulies's character in that little thing they did to open the show?

He was handing her his sausage...yeah, he'll be bada bing, bada bangin' her this year.

Yeah, they pretty much gave away he's fine before the show started..

The dude that hung himself, he was just written on the show this episode, right? I don't remember seeing him before.

 

Nice editing, "When am I ever gonna catch a break." Than the old rat dies i n the FBI ladies car.

What could happen is that.... everything that happens from this time on is part of tony's coma etc... it would suck, but it could be whats what.

You really think the Sopranos are so dumb they'd pull a Dallas? No way.

No, I am almost positive he has been floating around before.

Wow, was a season kick off.

Ya, he was usually in the scenes where they sit around the construction yard talking up sports and everything else.

 

Great episode though. And I don't think he's dead.

His name's Eugene Pontecorvo, he's been around for a bit now. I heard about a year ago in an e-mail he sent in reply to fan mail saying he was going to have a big first episode. That was dead on.

Fine, he had one big episode. But the real test is whether he can follow it up with another.

SPOILER WARNING!!

First, I thought last night was awesome!!

Moving on to Tony...

(My post is in white, so you have to highlight it to read it. I don't want to spoil anything for everyone)

 

The rest of this season will not be a dream from his coma. But the next episode might be.

From what I heard, Tony will survive (though I don't think will surprise anyone) but the coma allows the writers one episode to explore Tony's mind from the inside. Supposedly, an episode will focus on Tony's family if he never got involved in the mob and was a regular businessman. This, of course, will be a dream but it gives the writers an opportuniy to explore an emotional avenue of Tony we've never seen before now.

If this may seem odd, please remember "The Sopranos" is famous for it's depictions of the dreams and visions that haunt it's main characters.

Also, in future episodes Christopher is looking to get back into the movie biz.

Ben Kingsley will be playing himself (maybe in the same episode)

and...

 

MAJOR LEAGUE SPOILER!!!!

Phil Leotardo will whack someone from Tony's crew...we are talking a MAJOR character. (could be Silvio, Paulie or Chris)

Nice spoilers. I hope some of that doesnt come true. The hanging scene was amazing TV IMO. It made you feel uncomfortable, which is exactly what it was supposed to do. I love this show.

There are 12 episodes this year and another 8 next year. No way in hell Tony won't be back in full force soon.

Wow, now THAT was a twist. They did a good job of setting it up too, so you were shocked, but not too surprised at the sametime... I wonder what Tony thinks of Assisted Living now?

I saw the second episode last night. He's not dead.

How the...

Steff has connections. She could be in some sort of the mob for all we know.

ITS NOT ASSISTED LIVING....ITS A NURSING HOME!

Another great episode tonight. Am I the only one who thinks Edie Falco is amazing? She's such a powerful actress I get chills watching her do some scenes.

I like the idea of the storyline of a power struggle in case something did happen to Tony. Kind of like every man for himself or something.

Also like the idea of AJ and the revenge factor.

I know there's a long way to go and it can go in a few different directions, but the whole keeping the audience off base with what is real and what is a flashback and what are coma induced thoughts is kinda cheap.

 

By the way, AJ looks like Jack Black minus 40 lbs. and 10 years.

I really enjoyed how they showed Tony and his life if the mob was not there.

 

Very well done episode. I do however hope Tony comes out of this thing in the next few episodes. Tony Soprano is too good of a character not to have around.

 

 

I did also. And I think they did it well, for those that pay attention anyway. Charmaine on the other end of the phone as Tony's wife was a pretty cool tie in to the past.

 

And don't worry, he'll be back soon. But in the mean time things look to get explosive.
