More Sopranos Stuff and Updates - WARNING SPOILERS!

Hey y'all! Here I am buying more and more stuff. Haha. I have a new "not admirer" who left me loads of anonymous messages that I just received. Apparently, my spending habits and looks are pretty darned important to her. As in they rile her up. Maybe that's what it took to get me writing again. I'm laughing though. Not upset.

OK. Isn't it one more show of The Sopranos until we're through? I have to say. I'm ultimately VERY disappointed in the way the series is winding up. Here's a warning here.....don't read anymore if you don't want to know what's happened up until now!

Sunday's episode was not believable. A seasoned psychiatrist would not just dropkick a depressed client out of his/her office without warning. To me, Dr. Melfi is no better than a hit woman to do that to Tony just after his child has attempted suicide. Anyhow, I just don't think it is believable!

The killing of Bobby in the train store was believable. But the killing of Sil in the parking lot? No way. He would have had a gun closer than the backseat for sure. I don't think my prediction that Meadow would be the starting impetus for the NY/NJ wars is coming true. The war is underway and everyone knows that everyone is going after each other. So, now I think Meadow and Carmella are safe. I don't think Anthony Jr. is safe from himself. He's getting on my nerves, but then nothing's new, he's gotten on my nerves from the beginning (and it has nothing to do with his depression). I just don't see how they are going to wrap all this up neatly. I mean we've got Uncle Junior hanging out there, Tony and remaining gang all holed up, Carmella, Meadow, AJ, Janice and Company all headed for God knows where. Then the FBI guy and his mysterious stomach ailment. Plus the hated NY wiseguys. I don't know. I sure hate to see a series end badly. I think this whole season has been slow, slow, slow. And aggravating.

Now.....I watched "Music and Lyrics" on DVD last night. This movie is the aging, has been popstar played by Hugh Grant and the wacky, plant waterer played by Drew Barrymore. It is HYSTERICAL. If you need some laughs, this is the one! And it is CLEAN. Amazing. It is worth every penny of the rental.

Goodness, I have just been so busy! I had a couple of close folks ill, in the hospital, and then came down with a nasty bout of flu myself. Who gets the flu in May??? We're in the midst of a drought here which has made our air awfully unhealthy. When your lungs are already aggravated, try breathing in a big gulf of nasty air. YUCK.

Sorry to disappoint but I haven't been spending loads of cash at all. But I did get a recipe for homemade granola and intend to spend some bucks on oats, wheat germ, sweetened condensed milk and sunflower seeds today. I wonder if THAT massive expenditure will get anyone heated up? LOL. Have a super summer. I've missed you all. I'm coming to YOUR SITE.

The Sopranos Series Finale Spoilers

I have to admit a secret passion of mine -- The Sopranos. It is the only show (or film) with a pervasive amount of violence and cursing that I can abide.

I did not get hooked on the show from the outset. In fact, I only began watching it last season after purchasing and watching all the previous seasons' episodes.

What draws me to it? I love the whole idea of being immersed in a sort of culture - in this case - "being Italian." All this said, people are trying to figure out what will happen on the last two episodes of The Sopranos. Here are my predictions based upon reading many interviews with characters, suppositions of other bloggers, and having watched all the episodes recently:

- In the previews, Sil refers to someone "turning." I do not believe this is "turning" to the Feds. I think it is a NJ guy talking to the NY group. This would be Paulie. He already set the stage talking to Johnny Sack. Paulie may die next week. It will be a real gangstyle killing too befitting of a true wiseguy.

- I believe that Meadow will be killed in the next episode. Perhaps she'll be driving Tony's car since she was rearended last night? The NY mob will spot Tony's car and think they are assassinating HIM and actually kill Meadow instead. Meadow's death will be the perfect impetus to set off the gang war and perfect irony. She symbolises everything good and pure in the mob families. The only one who is not guilty of anything; the one who has sincerely value in society. Now she's dead -- and -- after being disrespected by the NY wiseguy with no teeth.

- Something is up with the FBI agent with the parasite. I can't figure that part out. Something is eating away at him literally and figuratively. I'm not sure exactly how this figures into everything - at least yet.

- Leaks from the set say that the final scene occurs at Satriale's. It was a closed set that day with Tony being there. I can't think that the gang war will happen there if it was a closed set. Someone would have talked by now if all the "guys" were there. I personally think that the "war" will happen at Tony's house.

- Rumours abound that Adriana is not dead. I think that's crap. Sil did not botch that job. Unless HE'S the one ratting to the FBI and lets her go? Maybe that's a possibility but I so doubt it.

- One thing's for sure - when the dust settles, Phil and all his guys will be dead as will Tony, Sil, Bobby, Janice, Meadow, Paulie. Junior will hear of it all and off himself in the nursing home. Anthony Jr. will be left - a pathetic symbol of what Tony would have become had he not chosen a life of crime. Tony was doomed either way.

Those are my predictions!
