Tony Soprano...about to get what he deserves or......?

[MnFats]

one episode left...tony's outfit is already decimated and he's in hiding....
why am I pulling for this guy to get out of this alive when he's a heinous, vile human being who has ordered many murders?
Oh, have I succumbed to Americans' love of violence?
I hope not.
I'm not a bad person....

which is what Tony said.

1. This is post-Reagan America. Crime pays. Bigtime.

If he doesn't survive and get richer, it will make the whole series unbelieveable.

[MistressOverdone]

2. I can't wait

we're planning a big Italian dinner in honor of the last episode.

It IS disturbing how we have come to justify Tony's actions. At least I do. I admit it.

[MnFats]

3. can I come to your house? nobody in my family or at work has any interest..

...they just don't get it. They would find it a little freaky because I expect to be on my feet, pacing, for the whole show.

[MistressOverdone]

4. Sure. Can you bring garlic bread?

[MnFats]

6. garlic bread it is! cheese, no cheese or some of both?

I am there!

[MistressOverdone]

7. a bit of both

want to get in on the poker game before the show? And a bit of a wager over Tony's fate?

[VenusRising]

5. I've got the Soprano Family Cookbook

if you want any recipes, PM me.

I make an Italian dinner every Sunday for the show.

:hi:

[Bunny]

8. Can you send me the recipe for Sunday gravy?

I know I have it somewhere, but I can't find it. Thanks! :hi:

[VenusRising]

9. Most definitely.

It's a staple in my house!

:hi:

[Bunny]

10. Thanks!

Much obliged!

[VenusRising]

11. Check your PM!

Buon Appetito!

:hi:

[barb162]

14. Oh that's great

Thanks for the laugh. I didn't know they had a cookbook.

[VenusRising]

15. And the recipes are unbelievably good!

I will never buy jarred or canned sauce again.

[greenbriar]

17. me too...The cookbook is actually a centerpiece on my buffet

and we have either speg. Lasagna or Strogonaff or ZITI

every sunday

[VenusRising]

18. It's amazing how Italian your diet becomes

when you get the book.

I am worshipped by my husband's lab since I made the ziti for their lunch meeting.

[barb162]

12. You don't want to see it end (nor do I) because it's great writing

and great acting.

[MrSlayer]

13. Whatever happens, I hope Phil gets whacked too.

I can't stand that bastard.

[LibraLiz1973]

16. Me tooooooo!! I hate Leotardo!!

I am on pins and needles waiting for this episode

[MnFats]

19. exactly. if anybody deserves a spectacular ending it's Phil.

if only for what he did to Vito.

[RedStateShame]

20. What's the over-under on Paulie turning?

[MnFats]

22. i would say almost nil. he may be the standup guy who takes a bullet for Tony

I read on the IMDB site that Sirocco, the guy who plays paulie, only if they promised never to make him a rat.
now, a rat may not be a turncoat but.....

besides, rremember in a recent dream, Paulis asked Pussy ( or was it Christopher?) "When my time comes, will I stand up?"
he's gonna do the right thing for tony.


as an aside, if they let Phil get to the end of the show alive, I will boycott HBO forever. let him HAVE IT, for god's sake.

[Shell Beau]

21. No, they just have way of getting you to root for the bad guys!

And in this show, we consider Tony the good guy! All mafia movies have a way of doing that!
