Let's read your predictions for the series finale next week. I have every season on DVD and have watched every episode ever made. So, here are my best "educated guesses" as to what may happen.
1) No one in the Soprano family gets whacked. Not Tony, Carm, Meadow, or AJ. This series is about both of Tony's families. It always has been. And it will end with the death of one of his families (the mob family), but the survival of the other (his home family).
2) Somehow, Paulie Walnuts dies. It may be at the hands of Phil's crew, or it may be by Tony himself (because he may be playing both sides and Tony finds out). But there will be a blood bath in the finale and he will be a part of it. Why did Phil's crew make it a point not to whack Paulie? And remember when Paulie was in jail? He became a little too friendly with Johnny Sacks (now Phil's crew).
3) Someone is going to re-appear that we haven't thought about and/or seen in a while to do something drmatic either for or against Tony. Some possibilities:
-Uncle Junior: Why did they have that random scene last episode about him not being able to stay at the psych ward anymore? He's out.....and he's looking for revenge.....on someone.
-Little Carmine Lupertazzi: After all, his dad was the Don for many years before suffering his stroke. Little Carmine couldn't handle the reigns before, but he may be looking to get back in now that things are so unstable. He has appeared and re-appeared a few times this season.....and he'd be looking for revenge on Phil, because Johnny Sacks took out his capos after he took over for his dad to establish his turf.
-Adriana: Alright, this would be F'd up if they did it. But did anyone ever actually see her die? What if she survived in the woods? Silvio couldn't be that sloppy, could he?
-Hesh: Could the most sophisticated and educated member of Tony's crew be called upon one last time to bail him out in some way? OK, ok, it would be a major long shot to have a Jew play such a key role at the end. But he's just smart enough to be the kind of guy to find a way to protect Tony in the end......and he'd do it if Tony needed him to.
4) This is something I've been thinking for a few weeks, and now I'm almost convinced it's going to happen: A.J. Soprano is going to set off some sort of bomb to blow away Phil and his boys as they convene somewhere near the end, thinking they've "won" the ultimate battle. There's just been WAY too much inuendo this season regarding terrorism, bombs, and AJ's infatuation with all of it. He's been too involved in the series emotionally lately not to have some role in this ending. And the irony would be perfect since Tony had been giving info to those 2 FBI guys regarding two possible terrorists.
And, oh, yeah......The final scene of the final episode will take place in a small ice cream parlor in New Jersey. Me thinks this will be the "meeting" place for Tony to re-unite with Carm and the kids and leave together.....alive......forever.....
