thank god tony’s back
should make for some interesting episodes coming up[/quote]
I don’t think he’s going to like how cozy some of his captains are getting with the New York guys.
Is Chris out of his fucking mind? Who tells the boss that he owes them one?
Between Little Steven trying to get some peace (while reading The Star-Ledger, yay), Christopher pitching movies at a semi-comatose Tony, and Paulie nearly killing Tony with his bitching, last night’s episode was one off the funniest I’ve seen in a long time.
Yup, I think there are going to be some big problems for Chrissy coming up. I don’t think Vito is going to last the season. He is married to Phil Leotardo’s cousin, is in disputes with Paulie and Bobby Baccala, and has aspirations of becoming the boss. My guess is his days are numbered.
Everyone knows this is the last season correct?
Tony is alive bitches! Awesome.
I was worried for a while last night. Fucking Paulie is hysterical.
I liked how Steve Buscemi came back to do that one, and was trying to get him to go to Heaven. Amazing episode.
On a side note, the hotel he was at was called ‘Omni’. Ironic.
yeah i have my money on vito gettting offed.
i also love the kid from doogie howser…the look on his face as chrissy was pitching the movies to the gang was hilarious.

I thought they just extended this season to 19 episodes. There isn’t going to be a big-ass break is there?

They could keep this bullshit act up forever, and I hope they do. before season 5 was filmed, that was supposed to be the last one too. I don’t care what they tell me as long as they keep filming without sacrificing anything on the creative end.
Me thinks Paulie just fucked himself. If Tony finds out that he busted up that kid after he gave his word to his mother. My guess is that there is going to be a lot of internal problems for the Soprano family, with Chrissy, Vito, and Paulie all having problems with Tony. I bet they all come together though when this upcoming thing with the New York familiy happens.
Looks like the stage is being set for a confrontation with the NYC guys. Not sure if Tony’s family is reliable at this point though. Should be fun to see how it sorts out now.
“the carting business has a different corporate structure”
What a great line.

Vito’s a dead man. Paulie’s just fucking nuts. Chrissy’s a half retarded douchebag. The Jersey side is looking pretty weak these days. They need to get Furio back, or find some new muscle, otherwise New York is gonna take them for all they’re worth.
I never laughed so hard when Bobby shot that wannabe rapper in the ass.
Paulie don’t go, at least not yet; he has earned well recently (the columbian rip off) and earning is numero uno in la cosa nostra - its the reason that idiot (can’t remember his name - killed the horse) stuck around so long.
The bottom line is that the kid and his mother are “civilians” and Paulie is a made guy which gives him license to do what he wants. Tony will be pissed, sanction him somehow, but he don’t get put to sleep for that. Anyone but a made guy is fair game.
I think he’ll go, but it’ll be an accumulation of things
The only way this thing with the kid gets to be a major deal is if it submarines, even temporarily, the sale of the company - then John is going to go bananas and there will be tension between NJ and NY until its resolved.
I can’t believe I’m analyzing a freaking TV show!

Me neither, but it is the best TV show I have ever watched. Paulie won’t get whacked, but something is going to happen to him, not so much because of the made man vs civillian thing, but because he went behind Tony’s back after Tony had given his word. This could backfire and get the NY family involved as well.

Ralph Ciffaretto(sp?) killed the horse (Pie-O-My), then got jointed by Tony and Chrissy.
Did anyone catch the previews last night for next week. Tony either says, “When they think you’re weak, they have opportunity” or “When they think you’re weak, there’s opportunity”. I think it’s the second one. I think Phil L. and Johnny Sac are going to try to move against Jersey and Tony is going to use this weakness he’s showing as an opportunity against them. It was kind of shitting what they were doing to the paramedic but it showed a lot of weakness by Tony just letting him go.
Negotiation problems with the Sopranos cast…
Gandolfini puts muscle on
‘Sopranos’ pals
Several cast members still aren’t signed for final season.
Thursday, June 22, 2006
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) – James Gandolfini, star of HBO’s mob drama “The Sopranos,” is muscling into a salary dispute between two of his castmates and the cable network before production begins on the show’s last batch of episodes.
Gandolfini, whose own bitter contract squabble with HBO three years ago escalated into a court battle before it was settled, is hosting a sit-down this weekend with co-stars Steven Van Zandt and Tony Sirico, according to sources.
With less than two weeks until the scheduled production start of the show’s last eight episodes, Gandolfini is said to be looking to intervene in the network’s standoff with Van Zandt and Sirico over their demands for higher pay.
Only a handful of “Sopranos” actors – including Emmy winners Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli and Vincent Curatola – have closed deals to appear in the final installments of the HBO gangster drama.
Following the network’s decision in the summer to extend the sixth season of “Sopranos” from 13 to 20 episodes – 12 to air this year and eight in 2007 – the cast of the Emmy-winning series began negotiations for substantial salary increases for the final batch of episodes.
With the first table read scheduled for July 5, several key cast members, including Lorraine Bracco, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Steven Schirripa and John Ventimiglia, have not signed on the dotted line to continue.
But it has been Sirico and Van Zandt, who play iconic characters Paulie Walnuts and Silvio Dante, respectively, who have had the toughest and most publicized renegotiations.
With each of the two actors and HBO still more than $500,000 apart on the money, and Sirico and Van Zandt not budging on their $200,000-an-episode asking price – more than double their most recent fee – a conclusion of the groundbreaking series without Paulie and Silvio looms as a real possibility.
Talks between the actors and HBO are still ongoing.
“HBO has made generous offers to the cast, and, as always, we’re confident that we will resolve all of these matters amicably,” an HBO spokesperson said.
Bob McGowan of McGowan Management, who manages Sirico and Van Zandt, declined comment Wednesday.
