A Borrower Nor a Lender Be

Is it really fair to torture yourself wondering who is going to be dead when this series turns out the lights? Is it possible to just let it unfold and let it go gentle into that Good Night? Not for me.


I thought Tony and Hesh were friends. Yet it got to the point where even Hesh wondered if it would be easier for Tony to settle his debt by killing him. Hesh. Of all people. He is one Soprano's character who was always in the background, under the radar, quietly supportive and under-utilized. Maybe Hesh will come out alive, I don't know, but if I were Hesh, a lack of real sympathy on Tony's part over Renata's death, and the Attitude of that "Pork Chop" from Jersey would be enough to make me want to knock him off. People die in this show for less cause. Maybe Hesh will be Tony's killer. Or this show may have been the last of Hesh. Sitting alone with the gold records from the music business hanging on his wall and a bag of money on the livingroom floor.


Or maybe that Crazy Russian guy from the woods will come back and kill Tony:

(From the Episode guide) -- As of the sixth season, the whereabouts of Valery, the
Russian remain unknown, despite demand for continuity from many fans. David
Chase has said in the past that the episode was not intended to evolve into a story arc. HBO's promotional material lists him as dead, although it does so with a
question mark.)

I wouldn't bet on Phil killing Tony at this point. Too bloody obvious. (Pardon the pun!)



Favorite Line in this week's show:


(Setting it up)--Vito's son is accused of hanging the neighbor's cat. Tony tries to comfort the kid's mother, Marie Spatafore..... saying that it's to be expected "with Vito passing and all that that entrailed."



Music Note:

I wish Southside Johnny (who made a guest appearance) would've sang instead of Nancy Sinatra.... Give a listen!
