I agree that Tony getting killed would be too simplistic. Perhaps he'll finally end up getting put in jail? Someone close to him finally rats him out? I don't think that anyone close to him will get killed either. I think that anyone who's opposing Tony would know that to kill one of his family would be a death sentence-family politics would go out the window. The only family member whose death I can see him letting pass by for the good of the "family" would be Janice. She's been a lot of…

I don't think Tony will get whacked - not because of the logic of the plot and characters, but because there's always a chance they will decide to revive the series, and it wouldn't work without him. The current Vanity Fair has a good profile of the Sopranos creator, David Chase, and he seems determined to end the show. James Gandolfini, aka Tony, is also said to be ready to quit and move on to other projects, compared to most of the other actors, who are sad about its ending. But David and/or…

I'm currently addicted to just one daytime soap, One Life to Live, because of the actor Michael Easton who made such a gorgeous vampire on the defunct Port Charles. But in soaps, it's very common to do away with characters by having them move to Europe, fall into a coma or be institutionalized for extended periods - or even to be missing for years and presumed dead. That way they can easily turn up again when the actors change their minds and need the gig after all. Thinking like a soap writer, how about having Tony presumed dead after being dumped into the Hudson or being buried in a Jersey garbage dump, even compacted? The latter would be traceable, though, so the Hudson's probably a better bet.

I predict Christopher will get it by Tony's hand, indirectly. And an unforeseen result of Tony's decision will be the accidental death of one of his children.<br/><br/>(Meadow happens to be in the car with Chris when it gets blown up, etc. ...)<br/><br/>That will be Tony's legacy. He did the right thing for the business but the personal cost was devastating.

Maybe Bobby will take him out after last night's episode. No, I don't think he'll die. It would be more of a death for him to go to jail. I think he'll end up in jail, but possibly someone else will die. Maybe Meadow, reminiscent of The Godfather III. I think that would be the hardest thing for him to endure: jail and the death of his daughter.

This was definitely a good episode. I don't believe Tony will be killed, but there are going to be a few bodies lying around before this thing stops rolling downhill. Christopher will probably be one of them; however, it would not hurt my feelings to see the AJ character meet his end. What a brat. I guess he's just a chip off the old block.

JD, I wouldn't blame poor Bobby in the least. I have a soft spot for him. And that shot of this guy at the water's edge, having lost that last bit of innocence was heartbreaking. I really hated Tony right then. What a sadistic bastard! And I got to agree with David, this is the best Sopranos episode I've seen in several years. They are starting off on their best foot this year.

I'd thought for a while that Tony would lose either Meadow or AJ, too, but they're getting farther and farther away from the business. If either one of them gets killed, it'll be by accident.

I'm thinking that Bobby Baccala...sweet, dependable Bobby, who looked after Uncle June and who's always been there for everyone, but who still hasn't made Captain...is going to be the cause of Tony's downfall. He may go crazy and whack him, he may turn him in, but mark my words, it's gonna be Bobby.<br />

Paulie's too obvious, and Chris is going to get whacked by whoever replaces Philly Leotardo, probably as the price of the position. Philly still wants to kill someone close to Tony, as revenge for the whole Vito thing.

I agree with Dave, Tony won't get whacked. That would be too easy, and the writers on this show have always been great at refusing to follow a natural inclination or expectation. I think someone from Tony's immediate family will get capped (one of his kids?).

Tony won't get whacked. I rarely think this series acts the way we think it will or how... but I thought tonight's episode was one of the best of the series.
