I had tears in my eyes during that pool scene. Simply amazing television.
And Gandolfini is a truly magnificent actor. Falco too.
I didn't realize until reading this thread that there is only two episodes left! WTF!?! How are they gonna resolve all this in two episodes?
My first guess is that one or both of them will be extra long. The last one for sure. And I think some heads are gonna roll. That last scene with Phil talking through the loudspeaker at Tony and Carmine was telling. I don't think Little Carmine would be in on any attempted hit on Tony- he has always seemed to be more of a "smooth things out" kinda guy, and I think that was his intention in the end of that last episode.
But Phil "Don't call me ######o" is steamed. I think some of Tony's guys get whacked next episode, and the thing with Phil comes to a head also. Maybe it gets resolved then, maybe in the last one, I dunno.
But I would bet the emphasis on the last episode will have more to do with Tony's family than with his crew. Don't forget that Junior is still kicking around the "home" taking his new meds, and they aren't gonna leave that unresolved. AJ neither. Either he gets better quick or something drastic happens. And will Tony survive? I would hope so, and think he will, but who knows.
North America is going to be in shut-in mode the next two Sunday evenings, that's for damn sure.
