I have no idea what will happen in tonight’s finale of The Sopranos. You can find various predictions here and here, among other places. I’m kind of partial to the idea that Tony will be rescued by the FBI in return for ratting out Phil and the New York crew, but there are plenty of other worthwhile scenarios. The one thing I do know is to watch what I read very carefully on Monday if I haven’t already seen the show. Not everybody is good about observing spoiler etiquette, and I’ve had a few episodes ruined by that. I hope I know better now.
So. What do you think will happen? Leave your guesses in the comments, but please don’t reveal anything after you’ve seen it, for those who tune in later than you.
UPDATE: As PDiddie notes, it’s Sopranos versus the NBA Finals tonight.
Among the HBO mob drama’s millions of followers is [LeBron] James, who described himself at Saturday’s media session at the AT&T Center as “a big Sopranos fan” and was clearly elated to have been asked about something other than how to beat a double-team.
Members of the Soprano family have been getting knocked off at an alarming rate, much more quickly and ruthlessly than the Cavaliers and Spurs have rubbed out their playoff foes.
With several of Tony Soprano’s lieutenants gone, it appears that the boss may be next. But “The King” doesn’t think so.
“Me and my guys have definitely sat down to think about it,” James said. “My friends think that either the Feds are going to come and get him or he’s going to make friends with the Feds and maybe snitch on a lot of people.
“Or he’s going to be whacked, which I don’t think is going to happen. I hope that he’s just able to get away and not worry about nothing.”
James has a small problem. He has a previous engagement Sunday night and won’t be able to watch the final episode when it airs for the first time. He plans on catching up when he gets back to Cleveland next week.
“I did have my girlfriend TiVo ‘The Sopranos,’ definitely, so when I get home I’ll be able to watch it,” James said. “But I think I’ll be more focused on Tony Parker.”
Indeed, this is why God gave us TiVo. The Series 3, with its dual-tuner capabilities, is even more of a godsend.
