Still suffering from Sopranos withdrawl? Well, you can bring a little piece of Sopranos history home for your mob collection for $25 to $50 from the “Satriale’s Pork Store”. As fans will remember, this was one of Tony’s fave hangouts on the show. But since the building where the scenes were shot is being demolished, the owner had the brilliant marketing idea that he bets fans will pay for one of the available 2,000 white stone bricks.

What do you get for $25 or $50, besides that little piece of Sopranos history? A serial number and a certificate of authenticity.

So the show ends with the bells jingling on the door in the diner… is it just Meadow, who was having issues parallel parking? Or is it someone much more sinister too? Well, we will never know, because that is the moment that series creator David Chase decided to fade to black. Does the person at the door wield a gun to exterminate the entire family? Or is it really just law-school-hopeful Meadow?

The entire scene was filled with tension… and fans were all waiting for the inevitable… or what seemed to be inevitable… the gunning down of Tony Soprano in front of his family.

So what does this mean? Well, for starters, it aggravates a whole slew of Sopranos fans who wanted closure, darn it! Either kill him or let him sing for the feds, but neither happened.

So does this open the door to a Sopranos movie? Could be, especially after Sex and the City, another HBO hit, has just finally signed their own movie deal for the big screen. And you know that after six extended years of the show that the cast is itching to do more movies than the extended hiatuses could afford. So can we expect to see Sopranos on the big screen too? Time will only tell, but the door was definitely left VERY open for the possibility.

Wikipedia had some Sopranos spoilers posted on the Wikipedia Sopranos page for the series finale episode, although one of the editors had since removed it… too spoilerish? Lucky for us, one of our readers sent us a copy. Here you go!

The episode was written and directed by the show’s creator David Chase, marking the first time Chase has directed an episode since the series premiere. It is due to air on Sunday June 10, 2007. David Chase is said to have shot three different endings in case spoilers found their way on the internet.

The episode opens at a gas station in upstate New york a couple pull up to a pump in a red Cadillac. It is revealed to be Phil and Patty Leotardo. Phil gets out and begins to fill his tank when Benny Fazio approaches him from behind and shoots him twice in the head. Benny runs and gets into a sedan driven by Patsy Parisi and the two speed off as an african american youth onlooker throws up.

We see see Tony Soprano, Paulie Walnuts, Carlo Gervasi, and Dante Greco playing cards in the safehouse from the prior episode. Tony gets a call from Benny on a payphone. He says “The Shaw’s gone,” and hangs up. Tony get up and motions for Paulie to follow. The two get into his Escalade after putting his AR-10 inot the backseat. The two drive to Satriales and sit outside all the while discussing days past in Johnny Boy Sopranos heyday. Paulie is working on his tan and Tony is smoking a cigar when a black Cadillac sedan approaches. Little Carmine Luperatazzi exits the backseat while the car drives around the corner. They seat themselves across from Tony and Paulie and begin to discuss recent affairs. After many malaprosims from Carmine and some moronic rambling from Paulie Tony laughs and interjects saying he is proud to be present at the first sit down between the new bosses of New Jersey and Brooklyn. Paulie and Carmine both appear shocked and Tony tells them its long over due and Paulie has been passed up too many times. Tony leaves the two and goes inside to speak with Agent Harris. Who is seen sitting in the back corner. Harris acknowledges Carmines presence and asks if hes to take that Carmine’s the new boss of Brooklynn Tony tells him to, “Take whatever the *beep* you want and take one last Veal Parm Hero on the house.”

We now see AJ, Carmella, and Meadow in a motel room. A knock on the door prompts Carmella to remove a .45 automatic from her purse and walk to the door and ask whos there? Meadow reading the paper and AJ watching t.v. are both scared. After a long silence a familiar voice say’s “A loving father and husband.” Carmella opens the door and Tony and Paulie enter they all leave and go back to Casa De Soprano. After arriving home Janice Pulls up, leaves her kids there and her and Tony leave. Leaving Paulie to guard their respective families. The two arrive at a state hospital where they enter one at a time to talk to their Uncle Junior.

The two make small talk until the shooting comes up. Junior apologizes and said he was out of his head and that he always loved Tony even when he didnt show it. Tony and Janice return home around night fall and Tony and Paulie leave again. Carmela is worried and Tony tells her not to worry because this is the last time he will be leaving like this.

Paulie and Tony are sitting in his car at night in an empty parking lot as the snow is falling discussing Paulies promotion. Tony says he will be happy to be Consigliere to Paulie. When headlights shine upon them, the two get out and walk toward a parked SUV. Butch DeConcini and Albie Cianflone exit it and walk toward them. They discuss peace and Tony tells them that if ran under Carmine, Brooklyn could expect no problems from them. They shake hands and Tony suggests a drink to celebrate. Tony walks back to his car and opens the backseat. Tony pulls out a large object covered in a black plastic garbage bag. Paulie runs off to the side and throws himself down and Albie and Butch pull out pistols but are too late when the garbage bag erupts with machine gun fire. Tony helps Paulie out of the snow and the two admire the AR-10 and two dead bodies. Tony looks the gun over and admires a phrase written on the stock. “Made In America.” The two then drive away.

We see the Soprano home at daylight the next day. Carmela is in the bathtub, Meadow is asleep, and AJ is unlocking the hidden gun closet in an indoor column. He removes something and then goes outside. We see the pool once again uncovered, yet empty with AJ sitting in the botton holding a hand grenade. He pulls the pin out and holds the handle. He hesitates and throws it to the other end of the pool and it blows up dirtying him. Carmela comes outside with her .45 and nearly shoots her son. Tony arrives to see him sitting on the couch being questioned. AJ says it was so cool. Tony laughs and writes it off and tells everyone to get in the car. Carmela asks where there going and Tony replies, “Out for ice cream.”

We see a number of things in the final scene: Paulie the surviving Jersey crew with Carmine and his crew having dinner together and toasting the two’s promotions, Silvio’s heartbeat monitor going flat, and Janice in a small home with her three kids appearing miserable, Agent Harris arresting the two muslims from the Bada Bing apparently making bombs, Pat Blundetto breaking Junior out of the state hospital,and Dr. Jennifer Melfi smiling alone in her office while reading about the recent gangland slayings and Anthony Sopranos apparent stepping down as boss. Finally we see Tony and his immediate family together at an ice cream parlor.Tony then tells his family that he is no longer depressed and that being with his family and them being safe was better than all the therapists and Prozac in the world. It just took all this *beep* to make him see it. AJ says he’s happy just to be alive and that he has snapped out of it as well. Tony proposes a toast to his family mirroring the season one finale “I Dream Of Jeannie Cusamano”.

This is a nice spot HBO is running at the moment, basically to say to the Sopranos, “We’ll miss you”. Awww…

Shawn Wasson has some great spoilers… personally, I think this is how the show will end, with Tony going into the witness protection program after spilling his guts - verbally that is! He doesn’t say the source other than he knows people who know people.

Here you go:

Tony will turn to the Feds and go into the Witness Protection program. He will have another dream and he will wake up knowing for sure this has to end now and he hopes AJ will have a better future etc. etc.

This is how it goes. He considers suicide with the automatic Bobby gave him just after having a terrifying dream and he becomes really depressed. He has a “Godly” moment where it all comes clear to him just before he pulled the trigger. In a flashback we see some moments of him and Paulie among others and he then realises that Paulie is working with Phil and he reckons he is as good as dead anyways. He pulls the trigger but it gets stuck. He turns the gun over and reads “Made in America” and he starts to laugh real real loud.

However, having his life spared by God thrice (shot, car, suicide attempt) the last few years he wants to do the “right thing” and he decides to phone the Feds, he decides to meet them at the other side of the lake (he reckons that it is safe) and he walks outside while he mentions to the other guys he’s going out to get some drinks from the boat. Paulie protests but T gives him “the look” and he walks safely and sound outside.

He phones the Feds again in the boat in the middle of the lake and tell them to take action and they arrest the guys in the building.
He rats out on Phil and the other guys, but no one knows where Phil is.
He goes back to the city and is heavily guarded by Feds tailing him etc. He demands a sit down with Phil in a restaurant. It takes some time for the response but they will have the sit-down at a restaurant at some point.

After some conversation Tony is sweating like hell and Phil suddenly realises what is going on and pulls a gun on him and asks to show the wires. However, all the other people in the restaurant were Feds, so that’s cleared.

Now we see some scenes of him testifying etc.

When he enters the program we see the last scene of him turning up for work with a beard and hair (implants?) shaking hands and saying “Hi, it’s uhhhh, Kevin Finnerty, how ya doing?”. Remember, when he dreamt he was Kevin Finnerty in that coma…well there you go.

And we have more series finale Sopranos spoilers here!

We have some great spoilers courtesy of Television Without Pity:

I was at the Holsten’s set back in March when they were filming the final episode. After some persuasion, I got a PA to let me glance at the call sheet for that day. Here’s what the scene entails:

-The scene in the ice cream parlor only contains Tony, Carmela, and AJ. Later, Meadow joins them.

-It says that the family eats onion rings, while AJ recalls some advice that his father once gave him.

-Meanwhile, Meadow attempts to parallel park her car several times (she’s late).

-Nothing about Paulie. I didn’t see Tony Sirico there, but if he was, he was probably just there to visit the set. Frank Vincent also stopped by.

-There’s a scene that’s described in the call sheet where Tony meets Agent Harris at the airport.

-Uncle Pat Blundetto reappears somewhere in the episode.

-Another scene (either from this episode or the previous one - I also looked at the call sheet for “Blue Comet”) includes Dante Greco (Tony’s driver) at Rosalie Aprile’s house.

-AJ gets a new girlfriend named Rhiannon.

Also, I showed up for the Phil Leotardo hit at the Raceway gas station. It was definitely Frank Vincent there (I know some people think it was Phil’s goomar’s father who looks like him, but the actress who plays Leotardo’s wife was also present). Phil gets out of the car, stops by the passenger window, and Benny comes from behind and shoots him. The scene also included four black kids who see the murder, and one of them vomits.

I also showed up at the Baccalieri house when they were filming, the day before the Raceway. The scene was Tony coming up from the deck, with a present in hand, to talk to Janice, who’s sitting on a lawn chair.

When the show’s creator comes to visit you - when he hasn’t during the course of the six years you have been starring on a hit show - you know your character is in trouble. And that is how Steve Schirripa knew Bobby “Bacala” Baccalieri would die. And while he was hoping that his character would see the finale, he was gunned down - while buying toy trains, no less - just one episode before the series finale.

Just one more episode to go before the series goes off forever. I am still wondering if Tony will spill his guts to the witness protection program, now that would be fitting!

Ever wondered just how many have been knocked off on The Sopranos (and we know there is definitely one more death coming!), HBO has put together a two minute video montage showing all the deaths, the character names, and which episode each was killed in.

It sure reminds you how violent this show is when you see them all together like this! And surprised at how many I had forgotten about too.

And only a few days before the second half of the season begins!

With the new season of Sopranos just around the corner (April 8th baby!) why drag out your DVDs for a Sopranos marathon, here is a recap of all seventy-seven episodes… in seven minutes.

Want more? Here’s three trailers for the upcoming season, and the infamous who’s dying spoilers on the Sopranos.

Ask and you shall receive! While you are all still commenting on the “Who is dying on the Sopranos” entry (please add your comments too!), we have brought you some new videos with scenes from the remaining nine episodes of the series.

I guess there is nothing like a whole lot of negative publicity to get a town to change its mind… that and the fact they never legally had the power to deny The Sopranos from filming their final scene in the city after all.

Township attorney Brian Aloia has decided, however, that the town clerk is required to issue a filming permit and the council doesn’t have a say unless the permit requires a waiver. A waiver wasn’t needed for “The Sopranos” shoot because producers would be filming in a commercial area instead of a residential one after 8 p.m., he said.

HBO was to shoot the scene at an ice cream shop in Bloomfield. The town borders Newark, where fictional mob boss Tony Soprano grew up.

Aloia said the clerk must issue a permit after determining that a shoot fulfills certain legal requirements, such as having adequate insurance.

“She must look at the application in an objective manner,” he said. “She cannot consider, for instance, what’s being filmed or in this case if she likes the show or doesn’t like the show.”

Will be nice for the owners of Holsten’s Brookdale Confectionary, who were more than a little upset about the city’s actions, to get their place in the Soprano’s history. I bet the council had no idea all the negative publicity their little stunt would generate!

What a bunch of babies. The Sopranos is wrapping up a (very long) six season run, and had planned to film the final scene of the entire series at a Bloomfield, NJ ice cream parlor. But now the city council has banned the hit series from filming within the city over its dipictions of Italian-Americans.

A Garden State town council whacked “The Sopranos” Monday night, barring the Cosa Nostra drama from filming in suburban Bloomfield, N.J.

Local lawmakers hit the wildly popular HBO series due to what it called “negative depictions of Italian-Americans,” said the town’s mayor, Raymond McCarthy, a leading opponent of the show.

McCarthy - whose wife is Italian - said the show had intended to film the very last scene, for the very last episode, at a local Broad Street ice cream parlor, Holsten’s Brookdale Confectionery.

Holsten’s owner is now complaining that the town’s touchy politicians denied him a place in television history.

“We were excited,” said the historic parlor’s co-owner, Chris Carley, 53. “If it’s good for the area and businesses, your personal opinions shouldn’t be mixed in.”

Come on, it isn’t like the series was planning to film an entire freaking season there, or even a single episode. We are talking a single scene - of the final episode of the entire series! Give me a break.

Well, there are so many ways you could write the headline when the person who quits Dancing with the Stars after finding it too tough is best known for playing a character named “Big Pussy”. But I degress. However, Vincent Pastore, who played the infamous character on the Sopranos, has quit the popular reality show competition after finding it just too tough.

“When I initially committed to joining Dancing with the Stars, I didn’t realize just how physically demanding it would be for me,” the 60-year-old actor said in a statement. “Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity.”

“I’d like to thank ABC and the show’s producers for inviting me to participate,” he added. “I wish my partner, Edyta, and the other dancers the best of luck.”

His partner, Edyta Sliwinska, told E! News’ Samantha Harris she was “sad” about Pastore’s departure.

“We started to practice and we had two very good practices, but it was just physically too hard for Vincent,” she said. “He had a heart operation about a year and a half ago and he put on some weight. He just couldn’t do it. He was too tired.”

Wonder who will be stepping up to fill his dancing shoes?

So who dies on Sopranos? Well, it looks like Sopranos is going to pack some punch when they finally start airing new episodes in 2007. We have been forever waiting for the second half of season six to hit their air, and it looks like they have a big death that will shock us all, according to Kristen from E!

From Yiize222: Anything on the new season of Sopranos?
A big death. Huge. Like, one of the people you’d think they could never kill off. It’s not Tony, but it’s not far off…

I had my initial hunches (someone related to Tony through blood or not-so-marital-bliss) but would they really do that? Hmmmm…

However, Ausiello has a bit of a tidbit as well…

All I’ll say is this person was in pretty rough shape when last we saw him.

Any better guesses now

While we knew new episodes of Sopranos would be starting in April, HBO now has an official premiere date for the second half of season six. April 8th will be the first episode, with new episodes running through to the season - and series - finale on June 3, 2007.

And don’t forget you can catch up on the first half of season six beginning January 16th.

It is hard to believe that not only are fans finally getting the second half of season six, but are faced with the series demise as well. You do have to wonder if they will be filming a Sopranos movie now though!

New episodes of The Sopranos are expected to begin airing this April, after a ten month hiatus. And now HBO wants to catch you up on what happened in the first half of season six by re-airing the episodes in preparation of watching the final eight episodes of not only season six, but also the final episodes of the series itself.

The season premiere of The Sopranos will be shown on January 16th at 9pm on HBO.

The Sopranos has been a staple of HBO since 1999. But now the mob drama will be airing on regular cable on A&E this week. That said, viewers will be seeing a much more sanitized version of the show than the one that aired on HBO. Some language as well as some of the more graphic scenes have been edited out of the A&E version of the show. Reportedly, about a minute is being cut from each episode.

The episodes start airing on A&E on January 10th. A&E will air two back-to-back episodes each Wednesday night.
