I think we all would have been more disappointed had Tony bought the big one. One had to figure he would live, if not for a movie or some kind of special sequel. Plus, he was the hero of the show and folks don't like to see heros get whacked.
Looks like it was the FBI that saved him. His FBI contact on the Anti-Terrorist unit was the one that tipped him off where Phil was on the lamb in Oyster Bay. No way are they going to let a source of information like Tony get killed with his contacts on the wharfs and docks of Jersey. Also, his FBI contact had a bet on Tony being the survivor over Phil.
I was surprised that the show didn't have AJ going into the Army as AJ wanted to. That would have setup a new show done the road much like Michael Cardeleone coming back from the Army to join the family in the Godfather.
Looks like HBO has another hit on their hands with, "John From Cincinnati". Great story line. Between that show and Entourage, it will be tough looking at anything else on Sunday nights till the NFL season!
