The Sopranos Season 6, Part II - April 2007 (1 Viewer)

Imagine that. After 6 seasons of bloodshed Tony is just driving along in his Escalade and gets nailed by a transfer truck. The end

Oh Jesus the amount of people that would be angry

 

[Paul_Stachniak]

That line is from Season 4.

 

[TravisR]

For a commercial with no exciting footage, that was a really cool ad. It was great to hear all the old lines again.

 

[Qui-Gon John]

I knew it was from an earlier season. Just not exactly which one or which episode.

 

[Paul_Stachniak]

Mind you it's been a while so I'm not sure of the specific episode. I can say it's one of the first three episodes. And I can remember exactly what was happening in the scene. Tony was eating ice cream while Carmela was asking him to sign a series of insurance papers.

Has anyone seen the new promos for the last half of season 6?

Who is that doing the cover of "Paint it Black"?

What great version!

 

[TravisR]

According to the message boards at HBO.com it's done by Eric Burden & War and is on "Eric Burdon- Sings The Animals Greatest Hits". The guy that posted that might be a crackhead so don't quote me.

Both commercials are on HBO.com and they rock.

 

[ScottH]

That's funny, I was thinking it was the worst teaser I've ever seen.

 

[ScottH]

So do we know for sure that even if David Chase plans on wrapping this thing up, that he actually will? I thought I remember hearing something about the true ending actually happening on the big screen.

 

[Sam Favate]

As I have said before, I do not expect there to be a "wrap up" for the series. Nor do I think there will be a strong sense of closure. I've heard Chase say he doesn't care for conventional storytelling (and the last two seasons of the Sopranos have been anything but). I would expect there to be a "life goes on" ending.

I also do not expect a resolution for Tony. No jail, and no death. Chase has said the Sopranos wasn't welcomed by networks that were looking for the sort of shows that just reinforce your belief in authority figures (cops, laywers, doctors, presidents), so I wouldn't be surprised if the Sopranos ended in a way that did not scream "crime doesn't pay!"

I'll be disappointed if it does.

 

[TravisR]

That would be my guess too. I would also guess that alot of people are going to pissed when the series doesn't end like Reservoir Dogs.

 

[ScottH]

I'm okay with an "unconventional" ending, but it would be nice to get some closure, even if it doesn't have to do with Tony. Perhaps a more realistic ending that would satisfy a lot of people would be something like Tony having to kill off Christopher.

But I agree, this thing's gonna end with Tony sitting in a lawn chair by the pool smoking a cigar.

 

[Sam Favate]

I could see that. I could also see the last shot being Tony walking down the driveway in his bathrobe and picking up the newspaper.

 

[Qui-Gon John]

Bummer, just saw the promo and now they say 9 episodes. At one point I thought they were saying 10 episodes, back about 5 or 6 months ago.

 

[Rhoq]

No. Back then there were only supposed to be 8 episodes, but Chase had a new idea which allowed for one additional episode to be filmed.

 

[Dennis Castro]

I agree. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a return of the ducks to the pool.

 

[TravisR]

I was thinking they might end it like the way that The Godfather began- with the wedding of the don's daughter. Although they may skip that for the exact reason that it would be too Godfather-esque.

Although I love the idea of it ending with Tony getting the paper since they skipped that at the beginning of the season (if I remember correctly) or the return of the ducks.

 

[Qui-Gon John]

Or combine it. He get's the paper, and when he's walking into the kitchen, he see's the ducks returning.

 

[Tim Gerdes]

MSN has a new exclusive trailer up, the first with footage from the final nine episodes.

You can see the new trailer here.

 

[Brent M]

No matter how many times this show has let me down the last few seasons, I can't help but get excited when I see a trailer like this. I really hope they have saved their best for last and that these final 9 episodes recapture the glory days of The Sopranos.
