With the series finale of HBO's The Sopranos fast approaching (a week from this Sunday, to be exact) speculation is running wild as to what's going to become of Tony Soprano and his companions. The biggest question is whether or not Tony will alive or dead when the final credits role.
Michael Starr of the New York Post is betting that we'll know something about the series finale after the next-to-last episode airs this Sunday. Starr believes that this week's episode could be the one that features a final battle between Tony and his enemies, while the last episode could be the one that ties everything up in a tidy package, leaving Tony alive and kicking. Few clues are being given in episode description. For example, for this week's episode, "The Blue Comet", HBO writes 'The allegiance of those closest to Tony is put to the test and a case of mistaken identity has serious ramifications.' Not much to decipher from that notice, is there?
Its also been reported that show creator David Chase, who co-wrote this Sunday's episode and wrote and directed the series finale, has filmed several endings to The Sopranos to throw everyone off as to the fate of Tony. My guess is that Tony will wake up from a dream and Suzanne Pleshette will be there in bed next to him. Hey, it worked before!

My prediction: it will be some kind of dream sequence ala Kevin Finnerty.
The Sopranos never was about the mob, per se. Rather it was about a middle-aged man trying to find himself.

It's "The Blue Comet," TVSquad guys. Not "The Blue Comment."

Sorry, I thought it was about a racy comment Tony made on a children's show. It's been corrected.

You know, if it was anybody but Chase, I'd put my bet on some stupid ending, like Tony actually being the Alzheimer patient in his dream from when he was shot last season, and have the whole thing since then be an Alzheimer induced fanasy.
Since it is Chase, however, my money is on anything but a nice, tidy ending.

I think it'll be like the Godfather----everyone dies but Meadow and she'll be shown ready to take over and keep the family franchise going.

I think that Tony will live through this one... but only to lose those he loves the most... He has already lost Bobby and probably his captain.. I think that Phil Leotardo will die a horrible death at the hands of Tony. It will probably be the worst and most violent killing we have ever seen by the infamous Tony Soprano.

I think Tony will realize that with his top men dead or dying and the impossibility of locating Phil, let alone putting a hit on him, that he only has one option. He will turn informant to the feds, be placed in federal protection, saving his family and himself and ultimately sending Phil back to prison, the ultimate revenge for Tony.

like the above thoughts by Jeannette...however, Tony has yet to show he "sees the light...gets it"...ETC.
I am going to watch the last episode with a handkerchief in hand as even it the "ending" isn't ...
The Sopranos HBO show will be over...no new "next week" clips...Clips??? did someone get clipped?
