FMC 3.0

For those of you paying not paying attention earlier, I wrote this on Friday night. I just time delayed the post till after the Sopranos had aired so that we could all see how well I did. My 5 predictions in no particular order:

1. Tony and the family are all alive at the end.
2. Phil, Silvio, and Paulie are not.
3. With Silvio gone, Meadow (the law student) becomes consigliere.
4. Paulie doesn’t buy the farm from Phil’s side but from Tony’s - after it’s discovered that Paulie has been sending the NY crew information.
5. A brush with death causes AJ to realize that things don’t all suck, and emo boy finally stops crying.

I realize that it seems weird that I’m expecting this crazy mob boss killer to come out on top - especially since most people don’t expect him to make it - but is it the top? Sure, he beat back an assault from the bad guys, and he’s still breathing - but all of his friends are dead, and his family has all but succumbed to the dark side. Is that really winning? I think the dark irony of this show is that Tony makes it out alive, at the cost of the souls of everyone he cares about.
