What do you think?
We gave readers the chance to chime in with their thoughts on "The Sopranos" finale that airs Sunday night at 9 on HBO. Here's what our readers had to say or write:
A few points:
o the scene with Tony, Bobby and Silvio in the restaurant when they put their fists up - the music in the background is from "Godfather III." "Sopranos" has always run a parallel to the "Godfather" films. The christening scene at the beginning of the season with Christopher's baby is reminiscent of that film. The daughter was killed in "Godfather III" - Meadow will definetly be killed.
o Paulie is involved in taking Tony down. He didn't have any urgency in filling up the plastic bags with food when Tony did at the Soprano McMansion house and commented on the legs of AJ's girlfriend.
o Silvio isn't dead - how could they give the cousins the wrong address to kill off Phil? I think Silvio who has been the good boy all along has collaborated with Pauly and Phil to take down Tony because his leadership has been weekened by the gambling (since Vito was a primary money make and the cash flow dimished) and the asbestos issue and AJ's suicide attempt - Pauly and Silvio have maybe thought Tony has become a weak leader and collaborated with Phil to join the families and take Tony out . Silvio isn't dead - if they were on alert with targets on their back why didn't he have his gun readily accessible? The shots didn't look like they killed him.
o AJ gets upset after his sister is killed and goes after Pauly or Phil to kill them.
o Some shoot out at the estate house where Carmella might be staying because we haven't seen her parents yet this season and all the characters have had a "goodbye" scene. Maybe they get killed at the estate house - maybe there is a shootout there.
o Tony goes to the FBI informant to tell all after Meadow is killed.
o They go into witness protection.

Here's another opinion:
Hi
Tony will survive. The cynic in me says there is too much money tied up in the Sopranos franchise for HBO to kill him off. Without Tony, how can they have the big Soprano's Reunion Movie a few years from now? You know, the one beginning with a reception by the ever famous Soprano pool celebrating the christening of Meadow's first child. Back to where it all began.
For Tony to survive Phil will have to die and Tony's guys will have to win the gang war. I just hope that Sil and Paulie (two of my favs) don't die either. Note- Sil is "in bad shape" but not dead as last weeks show ended. I think that is a good sign.
Look forward to reading your article,
