Tony Soprano's Series of Unfortunate Events - 
by J-Unit
With the last few ounces of his strength, Tony was able to call 9-11 after Uncle Junior shot him. Many people have speculated that Tony is going to die this season, and it wouldn't make sense to kill him in the final episode. Since so much time had passed in between seasons (about a year according to various hints in the show), there was a rumor that what we saw last week was the last episode, and the rest of the season would lead up to that episode. As twists go, this is a copout of unbelievable proportions, and I am glad they didn't do that and put The Sopranos in Dallas territory. That being said, we did get another favorite tradition of ours from the show: the dream sequence.
As Tony wakes up in a hotel room, I cringe. Is he recovered? Are they really going to start from a long time ago? Quickly, we realize that it is a dream sequence, and while I think that they are very interesting, too often we are sucked into analyzing what it is supposed to mean. In the dream, Tony is a salesman in Costa Mesa who loses his wallet when he picks up the wrong briefcase at a bar. He has no money, no ID, and so he can't really go anywhere. In the meantime, Buddhist monks are slapping him in the face, and he tries to cheat on his wife, who we only hear over the phone, but sounds a lot like Gloria Trillo, which is odd considering she hung herself a few seasons ago. Tony is being confused for somebody named Kevin Finnerty, but we don't know how Finnerty relates to Tony. I do know that it would have been a lot better if they called him Kevin Federline. And if that isn't enough to make you think, Tony was injured in his dream, and had a MRI that said he had Alzheimer's.
