Fugidabboubit!

The blood has finally been shed and by blood shed I’m referring to The Sopranos. You’ve read my declaration for all things mafia. Well, TV shows and movies are no different. I’m a relative newbie in the world of TS. I just started watching it about four years ago but was instantly enthralled.

Like most classic TV shows, TS lures you into the hypnotic, flashy, energetic world of modern day mob families. It harkens to the Godfather flicks with a hint of Archie Bunker. The show is well written and humorous with well-defined characters that go beyond stereotypes. It follows the conflict between occupational obligations and moral dilemmas. It also broadens the circle to include therapists, girlfriends, mistresses and innocent laborers drawn into the organized crimes of TS.

The talk among TS devotees is how it will end. Will Tony live or will he die? Who will take over? Of course, this sets my mind in motion and I have a clear vision of how the award-winning show should go out- in a blaze of glory ala The Godfather.

Here’s the show-ending episodes as seen by the Diva:

Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini)

After many health woes and anxiety attacks, Tony will die of natural causes most likely while having sex with his wife or some random stripper/Jersey Girl.

Carmela Soprano (Edie Falco)

She will be heart broken but ultimately released from her services as a mob wife. She will find her soul mate Furio Giunta and split her time between Italy and New Jersey. She’ll also act as consultant to the new boss.

Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli)

Paranoia concerning Tony and heartbreak over having Adriana killed will drive him to drugs once again. However, several lapses of judgement and disrespect will cause Tony to whack him personally.

Meadow Soprano (Jamie-Lynn Sigler)

Despite a power struggle with her bitter Aunt Janice, innocent Meadow will summon her book smarts and indirect knowledge of the family to take over for Tony. She will show a natural aptitude for organized crime. Mother Carmela will help fill in the blanks since she’s spent decades watching the business.

A.J. Soprano (Robert Iler)

A.J. will continue to be a bumbling idiot unable to get his life on track regardless of many golden opportunities. He will become the Fredo of the Soprano family.

How do you see it ending?
