"The Sopranos" prediction pool
 

My preferred ending: After Leotardo cuts off Tony's limbs with a cannoli spoon, Meadow flunks out and teaches dancing at the Bada Bing, A.J. joins the Justice Department to shoot wobbly Republicans in the kneecaps, and Carmela goes mad from religious panic after doing exactly what we've been waiting to see and humps the holy water out of Father Phil from the first season. This is called moral justice. I'm writing this after reading that Paris Hilton got sent back to jail.

l0ol
Paris is gonna miss the sopranos n shit !

Tony can't die, they gotta make a movie with that shit.

How about this one,

A.J. puts himself in harm's way out of a misguided attempt to right the world's wrongs and gets killed, Sil dies, and Tony decides to rat out New York, sending Phil Leotardo to jail forever and ever, which he so richly deserves. Tony, meanwhile, lands in his personal version of hell: a mediocre suburban existence, somewhere in the Midwest, under an assumed name. Carmela, lost without a steady flow of luxury gifts, drives her Porsche Cayenne into the side of the local Chili's, then takes to hanging out at the mall in a drunken stupor. Meadow stays behind and marries Parisi Jr., becoming the old Carmela. Last shot: Dr. Melfi, being served roasted duck while learning from Elliot that Tony has disappeared. Her face tells us that she blames herself, but we all know that she'll double up on therapy until those irrational feelings of blame subside. We'll always blame her, though.

Berkeley Breathed is a best-selling children's author, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and the man behind "Opus," on Salon. His latest book is "Mars Needs Moms!"

How they'll end it: Everyone gets whacked but Tony and Carmela, who have a fight and go to bed. With the number of unfinished story arcs in the last four years, there's a high chance that Chase punts on this one too.

tony lives..
phil doesn't..
aj blows up the pool with the hand grenade.

or maybe,

That leaves the question of who ends up with the power. Here's where I think something truly surprising is going to happen. A.J.? C'mon. Carmela? Nah. My vote is Janice. We've seen what she's capable of, and for all her crocodile tears, the woman may actually be tougher at heart than Tony. She could run New Jersey, easy.

But honestly Here's what I think is going to happen. I don't want it to happen. What I want to happen is for Tony to whack Phil and for Meadow to assume control of the family business. But what I think is going to happen is Phil and Tony are going to call a truce and agree to work together into the future. I hope it isn't so, but that's what I think. Still, the sight of Tony Soprano in a white wife-beater, laying on an unmade bed staring at the ceiling, the bed facing the door, machine gun across his large chest and stomach, stray hairs poking from the sleeveless straps, is something I plan to hold on to always.

i like this one

My guess: A.J. kills Tony. I've thought that for the past several episodes, ever since they played "The End" by the Doors in a Bada Bing scene.

also..
sil dies...
tony steps down...
bumping paulie to boss...

Don't you think that because of those horrid contract negotiations over the last two seasons, the creators will just end it all now? They will have tony getting killed but only after doing a great deal of damage with his "little friend." They will imply that the left over survivors from New Jersey will just end up working for New York. Phil will survive and end up living on running everything and it will kill all of you (the fans) that Phil didn't die and goes on without any sort of punishment for destroying New Jersey and killing Tony. You won't be able to deal with the conclusion of the show and you will all sign up for therapy.

Those motheruckers better make a movie.

Phil's boys get to Melfi and kill her to get Tony's psych patient file.

Phil finds out in the file about the Feds and the Feds, Tony and his crew and everybody under the Sun go after Phil before he spills all of Tony and the family's secrets.

Big battle, Phil dies, Tony becomes NY Boss leaving Paulie to finally become NJ Boss with AJ as his padawan. That way Paulie continues as serving the three generations of Sopranos. Or we find out that Paulie whacked Johnny Boy Tony's father because Johnny Boy found out Tony wasn't his son.

Whatever, the creator David Chase said no one will guess the ending. The ducks Tony has been seeing since episode one is a warning 'to duck' to avoid a shot.

If Tony becomes NY Boss that means the movie version will have more glamorous settings and fashions etc. If they do a Sopranos movie it'll make $400 mill at the domestic box office easy. It's too much money to turn down to HBO.

meadow? - cmon

who cares, entourage still exists
