Couldn't agree more.

Yep, Paulie is an interesting character but for pure badness, including the actual face of the actor, it has to be Ritchie Aprile.

Pure evil.

My favourite character was probably Tony's mum. She was a hoot:

Paulie and Sil for me.

Ralphie was great too.

Tony's mother was probably the most interesting at the start. Shame the actress passed away.

Just watched the Pine Barrens episode last week. Still as funny as when I first watched it

I had to do a search for what I thought were some of the best lines in the series from that episode, Paulie and Chris are after leaving the Russian they thought was dead get away. Paulie gives Tony the bad news on the phone, the reception isn't the best so, possibly Paulie doesn't hear his reply, that the Russian worked for the Ministry of The Interior and killed 16 Chechans single handed properly, (I'd prefer to think he heard him perfectly well and just got it wrong).

Paulie "You're not gonna believe this. He killed 16 Czechoslovakians. The guy was an interior decorator"
Chris "Really? His house looked like s***"

I watched it a few weeks ago and then read all manner of ****e from US fans who were crying that there wasn't a mass bloodfest. Teenagers mostly. Chase is making the point that with real life gangsters (and real life people), some **** has a final definite answer, some **** doesn't. Tony has to live his life checking out everybody in a****ty restaurent thinking that anyone of them could be coming to kill him for all that unfinished business...

Agree 100% with Dodge and what a choice for the final song. Leave it at that,although it should be noted that the man in the restaurant who went to the bathroom shortly before the screen turned black is in the credits as Phil Leotardo's nephew

Are you sure? I don't think Tony would've been so passive with Leotardo's nephew.

**Anto McC** · 20/07/2007, 5:38 PM

Why do you assume he would have known him?

**sligoman** · 20/07/2007, 5:44 PM

The music at the end, who's the artist and title?

Journey's 'Don't stop Believin'

A bit before your time Sligoman?

That's what killed the dinosaurs.

Wasn't that a meteor?

They was all meat-eaters!

Little Carmine was great for those as well.

How did it get to this? We're in a f***in' stagmire!

Wonder if AJ will turn out as another idiot son of the former boss who can't speak properly (you think they were making a subtle statement about someone in real life?

). Anthony Jr. is a big fan of the poetry of "Yeets".

I don't know what your point is. You're all over the place.

If it was Leotardo's nephew. I think he'd have a fair idea about his nephews and nieces and cousins and crap.

The best song on the Sopranos is the one in series six when Tony was Kevin Finnerty and sitting on the end of the bed at the end of the programme.

Greta song.

You can thank Today FM DJ, Ray Foley for that.

There was an article in the Sunday Indo about the ending and the director said there was a clue to what happened. Perhaps that bit in the credits about the man in the cafe being described as Phil's cousin or whatever might have been the clue.
