    I loved Ralphie and Richie, two class characters in it.

    Best show I have watched without doubt, so consistently good for the 86 episodes in it. Im watching it for the fourth time in full but I 'm taking my time with it and savouring it this time, just go back to it every now and then and watch 2-3 episides.


    Ive watched Pine Barrens about 10 times though, its comical genius.

    But I'll go against the grain, he's still alive (Well Tony S is :54: ).

    I just think he had a fab dinner with his fam. :icon_mrgreen:

    Then the intervention they had for Christopher after was something else, couldn't stop laughing.

    Finished this last night. Binged seasons 2-6 over a month and a bit I think.

    Fantastic show. I watched season 1 last year and it did very little for me, but from then on it's top class. Season 4 was the only "weak" season after the first, and even then it's still good.

    I thought my TV had cut out at the last shot. The cut to black really caught me off guard. Not sure whether I hate or love the ending.

    Exceptional stuff, but the best ever? Not for me. Still doesn't beat Game of Thrones.

    What did I tell you? :84:

    Spoiler:

    I loved the ending, I still remember thinking that the last thing I had seen before the cut was Meadow coming into the restaurant, only when I watched it again I realised its actually Tony's face but because of the way the scene is shot it tricks your mind into expecting to be in Tony's POV and seeing Meadow. Links back to the whole 'you dont even hear it coming' discussions between characters in the final season as well.

    That's why I think he was definitely shot, the darkness at the end is actually his POV which is obviously death. I think its genius, but I'd be surprised if many people appreciated it on first viewing. :56:

    Aye, fair play:giggle1:

    That theory definitely makes perfect sense. There's a time and place for those sorts of ambiguous endings, but I'd rather just have had a definitive ending. Did Tony die? Did Silvio die? The doctors said he was unlikely to come out of his coma but he might have.

    Has there ever been a single episode of television as good as 'Pine Barrens'?



    Nothing will ever beat this scene for me.

    For me The Sopranos remains the benchmark which all other TV dramas must aspire too.

    His maw was a nippy * was glad when she died.

    Notable mentions for AJ, Janice and Meadow for the hated list.

    My favourites where Paulie, Junior and Phil Leotardo.

    Thinking about Pine Barrens again, did we ever find out if the Russian died or not?

    Would certainly give someone a serious beef with Tony if he did survive.

    did you notice the episodes she was in after she died in real life ? they used computers to make her look as if it was really her still in it.

    Good explanation on the ending.
