PREVIOUSLY, IN NORTH JERSEY: We were all a bit unsatisfied by the stalling at the end of the last run of Sopranos episodes, but assuming you're caught up now, well, the show's back on Sunday, and Alan Sepinwall says by the episode, "I understood Tony better than ever, which is no mean feat after nine years and 77 previous episodes."
Excited? Already pre-mourning the end of the show? Do you trust David Chase to provide enough closure and resolution in these nine episodes? And, if you like, feel free to offer any predictions you may have as to the state of things when it's all over, and any significant deaths you'd like to predict.
e.t.a. ReverseShot has some smart thoughts on where we are: ("If the season seems to have asked if redemption is possible for any of these characters, it’s fair to say that David Chase and his writers came down with a hard negative assessment. So season six set up a serious of false starts and dead ends, leaving everyone, in the end, pretty much where it found them, and pissing off fickle Sopranos fans across the country ... While it may not have been conventionally satisfying in a straightforward (read: boring) way, though, there was something incendiary and brilliant about how Chase and his writers set up such clear moral tests for each of these characters and then let them all fail at them systematically and nearly without exception.")
