UPDATE AFTER FINALE: I am grossly disappointed in this outcome. This is very pedestrian as far as I am concerned. UPDATE: Many endings have been taped and I am interested to see the dvd to see all the variations. It all depends on Gandolfini's attitude. Does he want to keep the Tony Soprano figure alive for the future? If so, then, I think everyone will get bumped off and Tony will be sitting in the back room of the 'Bing, all alone. (This would allow for the movie or a return, however.) If Gandolfini is bone-tired of the role, then Tony is going to die. I would not be surprised if Paulie doesn't turn on Tony to sell him out at the end. This means that Phil Leotardo has suborned Paulie. Everyone dies and Paulie winds up running the remains of the DiMeo operation as part of Phil's big organization. Sylvio Dante appears to be done as we note that he is not expected to recover. Patsy Parisi, who was in the gunfight when Sylvio was shot, hates Tony anyhow as Patsy's twin brother was killed on Tony's orders because the twin intimated that Tony tried to kill Tony's mother. It will probably be the decline and fall of the Empire. ORIGINAL COMMENT: It's great--I love over the top mob shows! Just don't take it too seriously.
