I haven't the slightest doubt about Tony not surviving, but the question we all need to be asking ourselves is "What about the permanent long term effects of being shot and/or hardships because of said injury?" Tonight's episode showed very much how a lot of people, especially Tony's crew, can be greedy a$$holes and put up a cheap facade in the time of distress. Now, on top of Tony being hospitalized,
Spoiler:I'm also glad that someone finally put A.J. in his place.
Silvio, too, is now in the hospital because of an asthma attack (possibly because of the sudden pressure of being the acting boss) and we have another top guy out of the running for the time being.
I think we will see in the next few episodes of whether Tony will have any ongoing problems with the gunshot and being in a coma.
I did like the fact that when he went to the family reunion that his Cousin was there telling him to go on in, and Meadow's voice could be heard in the distance...though who was the woman in the doorway? Possibly his Mother?
I think Sil will be alright...just had a asthma attack ( and that was out of the blue for I never saw him with a respirator before ), and I am sure will be back on his feet in no time.
Though, I don't think the A.J. situation is quite overwith. I am guessing that Junior and A.J. will meet somewhere in the near future and things between them will be decided then.
I know this question is gonna sound kinda old now but did anyone figured out the meaning behind Tony's dream sequence? I heard Steven Van Zandt (Sil) on the radio after the episode aired and he said that it all had to do with that whole 'Kevin Finnerty' name. He said say it slow or fast and try to figure it out while pronouncing it.
So, I'm thinking Kevin Finnerty = Heaven or Hell for Infinity? I dunno 😕 Any thoughts?
My guess is Tony was in purgatory and the house he was headed towards along with the silhouette at the entry of the doorway who was his mother represented heaven or hell. I guess it all depends on how you look at it. Again, any thoughts?
I'm also thinking the monks were judging him and determining whether or not he would repent for his sins.
Didn't you notice that Tony was upset about the fact that he was no longer in shape, and being the Boss of the Family, he didn't want his Captains thinking that he was less of a man.
Seeing Bobby play basketball, and then looking at the rest of the family and their builds...Tony needed to show them that he was just a man as the rest of them.
That is why he started the fight with the driver and beat the crap out of him as well ! He needed the family to know that he was still in power.
I didn't think the first season was all that great, in fact I don't even remember much about it. I think you should stick with it. It definitely gets better by the second season, at least my opinion anyway but remember the whole point of this show really centers around the irony of Tony 'Mr. Big mob boss' having to go to a shrink to deal with this problems. If you fail to see the irony or humor in that early on then this might not be the show for you.
the sopranos is probably the only brilliant continuing drama on tv...meaning that some plot lines last over many episodes...look at everything else on tv...every series going almost without exception are just a load of separate stories using the same characters
CSI and other shows like that have tenuous and insignificant continuing plot lines
the other other show i can really think of that is continuing is Lost...which in 2 seasons hasn't really gotten anywhere.
i think this season of the sopranos is lining up to be the best...the suicide scene of Eugene Pontecorvo was unbelievable...

Why did Tony punch that hispanic guy? 😕
because him being in a coma and all people around him thought of that as a sign of weakness so he had to prove to everybody that nothing had changed with him. IMO I thought it was pretty crazy that he did that but then I understood why....BTW the hispanic guy was his bodyguard.
