My Sopranos Prediction

Well, the day of the final episode has come, so I'll take my stab at predicting the outcome. The break out of the mob war in the last episode makes it appears that either Tony will get whacked by Phil Leotardo's crew, Tony will whack Phil and emerge victorious, or that they'll all go down guns a'blazing. I'm not buying any of these scenarios. I think the mob war is misdirection.

From the beginning of this half season one ominous thing after another has occurred, only to seemingly evaporate as a concern later. Episode one has Tony being arrested for a weapon he discarded seasons ago, but by episode's end, the charges are dropped. Christopher seems to be about ready to turn against the family, but then he dies early in the next episode. In one episode, it seems that Tony's gambling will spiral out of control, but by the end of that episode, he pays off his debt. The last episode brought about the final ominous happenings, and I don't think Tony will be laid low by them either.

But brought down he will be, as he must. So what is my prediction? Remember in episode one when Tony had Bobby Bacala carry out his first whacking? As Bobby finishes him off, the victim grabs a piece of Bobby's shirt. Then Bobby just stumbles away leaving the piece of shirt clutched in the victim's hand. Now you're thinking that you wondered about that too, but since Bobby was killed in the last episode, it's no longer important. But it is important, because Tony will get the rap anyway. Don't you remember what motivated Tony to assign Bobby the hit? It was because Bobby beat him in a drunken brawl. Tony was bleeding and I betcha Bobby was wearing the same shirt...
