Final Days
I've enjoyed the ride but it's time for the series to end. The last season was its weakest and seemed to be marking time. I'll be looking forward to bigger narrative gestures and a sense of final closure.
Two possible endings:
I don't think Tony will end up as Lear; instead he'll become Oedipus, living out his days in the Colonus Penitentiary.
Or perhaps that the Chechen who disappeared mysteriously in the Pine Barrens episode (or the Russian mobsters on his behalf) will bring the show to a close.
(The irony is that Tony should have resolved that issue then, giving up Paulie and Christopher to the Russians. Whenever Tony shows mercy, the universe always falls out of balance.)
