Drama

ok so I LOVE the new series "The starter wife" and on one of the commercials it said based on the book or something and I was wondering if any one knew what book it was about. I really need a good summer read, and if anyone knows the title and author, I would really appreciate it.

It’s official. I now believe Tony Soprano really IS dead.

What convinced me was an excellent parsing of the final episode by this guy Bob Harris in his blog, www.bobharris.com.

Now you can nitpick all you want about piece of this puzzle that don’t fit, but there’s way too many “coincidences” for me to believe that David Chase didn’t purposely hide all these “Easter Eggs” of hints and references in the final episode – and final SCENE – for nothing.

If anything, Chase almost made it TOO obvious. Anyhow, go ahead and read Harris’ entire post, and then re-watch the episode yourself. I’ve tried to summarize the key points Harris makes here….

Opening of the episode shows Tony in a funeral pose, on his back, sleeping.

Tony wakes up and eats an orange early in the episode. Oranges factored directly into the deaths of Don Corleone and Michael Corleone.

If you watch the way Carmela, Tony, and A.J. all eat their onion rings, it’s exactly the way you take communion wafers in church. In Catholicism, administration of the Eucharist in the moments before death is known as Viaticum, derived in part from the Latin for… “Journey.” Helloooo…

Tony has said that his favorite scene in the Godfather is the Sollozzo murder, where he gets whacked by a guy coming out of the bathroom. Favorite!

In the Godfather, Sollozzo’s last words are “try the veal, it’s the best in the city.” Tony says of the onion rings at the little greasy spoon: (the onion rings are) “the best in the state.”

There are a lot of first-person, POV shots (point of view) from Tony’s eyes in the final scene. This is why things suddenly going black makes sense as a “first person” perspective on what it’s like to die.

The fact that the door chimes 6 times only (some entrances to the restaurant don’t have a chime) is a Catholic reference to “6 Bells” or a call to mass. At a funeral, Catholics hold a full mass.

The Journey song “Don’t Stop Believin’” starts EXACTLY when Carmela enters the door. The lyrics of “just a small town girl” and “livin’ in a lonely world” are matched up with tight shots on her face alone, implying what her life will be like in mere seconds.

The shirt is the same one Tony was wearing when he was shot by Jr. in a episode titled “Members Only.” It was a guy wearing a “Members Only Jacket” (vintage 1986, I don’t know if you can even get one now) who was implied as the guy casing Tony for a hit.

All of the Soprano family is wearing BLACK at the table. Funeral? Hello….

There is a “last supper” style shot of Tony sitting at the table, with a slight halo of light shining down on him. This being – presumably – his actual LAST supper.

Tony says to Meadow earlier in the episode: “My chances are flying by me.” A foreshadowing of “life flashing before my eyes” reference to death.

FINAL NOTE: If you think about how Chase ended a great 8 year run with this show, it is perfect. The ending left viewers (at least me) with an empty, shocking, sudden, and WEIRD feeling in your stomach. Why wouldn’t a TV show about a NJ mobster end with a whacking of that main character? Only Chase didn’t SHOW it to you, he made you experience it, and sort of “FEEL” it, if that makes any sense.

about Jacks dad. On the flashback it does not say that that is his dad in the casket, and why would a funeral be held for his dad in a slummy area. Back on the island Ben says go back for what your dad is dead, but again on the flashback Jack says to the new doctor go up and if my dad is drunker then me you can fire me, confusing!!! Also seemed strange to write out Charlies character too that was sad. Now the point is can we wait till October to find out. Anything i might have missed please feel free to fill in for me. Thanks

Hello I watched episode 23 (Through The Looking Glass, Pt 2) of Lost last night and am now a bit confused.

I had a look on the lost website and that was the last episode for Season 3.

It was the end bit that confused me where Jack meet's up with Kate at the airport and say's they made a mistake and have to go back!!!!

Does this mean they were all rescued and Lost is now over or is there more to come!!! If there is more to come then I don't see where they can take it now and if that was the last one then what a crap ending as what happened to all the others?

All (helpful) answers welcome =)

I am almost sure that the last scene in the Diner was in Tony Soprano's DREAM, or a hallucination, or his 'imagination' while he was sleeping in maybe the safe house in episode # 85 which was the last episode right before #86, the finale. Does anyone agree this could be possible? Most of the things that happened in that last Diner scene seemed SURREAL, & not reality ESPECIALLY how Chase photographed each of them in a solo shot opening their mouths WIDE to pop in the onion rings like COMMUNION WAFERS, & at the the beginning of scene, when Tony walked into the diner, the '"DREAM'' song was playing [forgot the title]. Also that Meadow was delayed because of her parking, & that also indicated that it was in Tony's mind to avoid her being in any gunfire or what he was really FEARING might happen. I feel he was controlling that in his dream or imagination since SHE was his favorite & many more things in that last scene that weren't REALITY. I think he died in his SLEEP when blacked out

Did they really kill off Walt? OMG! I can't believe it! Of course, this allows Johnny to eventually marry his true love, but doing that usually kills off a series, like Moonlighting, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and Lois and Clark (yes, old series, I know). People want to see unrequited love! Is it really true? And they're making the evil Vice President into an okay guy now? I can't believe it. They're up to something here. Otherwise, it's a total departure from the book.
