        <title>The Sopranos — "The End Is Near," or "Tony Has a Shotgun, and He Knows What to Do with It"</title>
        <link>http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/04/The-Sopranos----The-End-Is-Near-Or-Tony-Has.aspx</link>
        <description>As the final season of THE SOPRANOS unfolds, the sense that the whole thing will come crashing down has been inevitable. Well, consider things pretty much crashed.

Phil Leotardo gave the word, and it&amp;rsquo;s do or die for the entire Soprano family. Bobby: Shot dead by Phil&amp;rsquo;s boys. Silvio: In critical condition after getting shot outside the strip club. And the word on the street is Tony&amp;rsquo;s next on the list.

It didn&amp;rsquo;t have to be like this. As word spread of Phil&amp;rsquo;s plans to take out much of the Soprano crew, Tony tried to get him offed. But, a mistaken identity (condolences to the poor Ukrainian guy who happened to look just like Phil) has upped the stakes even more. As the second-to-last episode comes to a close, Tony is holed up -- away from his family, fearing for his life -- clutching a shotgun and waiting for the inevitable attempt on his life.

And, it&amp;rsquo;s too bad, because things were just starting to look up for the family.</description>

            <description>Finally, after many episodes that seemed to go nowhere (JohnyCakes  freaky kid ), the show is back on track to an intense ganster drama. Better late than never, I guess.</description>

            <description>Agreed BracK Attack...its about time they went Gangster again!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bickel - Although I hate to admit it and say goodbye to lil miss hottie daughter of the don, I think I agree.  Here's my prediction:  Tony will survive, but his whole mob and nuclear family will meet the bullet....Either that or Tony will be offed and Anthony Jr. will have to kill a bunch of would be assasins and thus follow in his father footsteps...who knows!  can't wait until the finale!</description>

            <description>I am such a fan of the Sopranos -- I would like to see Phil taken out and Tony and his family move and go away and not be found.  I am sorry this series is ending!!!</description>

            <description>I loved The Sopranos from the first episode, and up to now. It's too bad they ended it like this. Very dissapointing.</description>

            <description>What did you want dude? It's not over yet. Be patient, and let's see what happens. If it goes totally sideways, I might be right there with you. &lt;br /&gt;Don't kill Meadow, she's too hot to go.</description>

            <description>I have loved this show from day one, and am sorry to see it end. Phil is gonna bite the dust, thats a no brainer. Tony will make it, and so will his family. I thought Dr. Melfi was a weird ending, I would of written that differently. HBO is losing its best show.</description>
