Of all the characters--and of all the actors--still around for this last season of The Sopranos, David Chase has not only chosen, but has actually succeeded in doing something with A.J. (Robert Iler).

Long the afterthought of the ensemble, A.J.’s only memorable contribution to the series was when he got his eyebrows shaved off at some party in the city, while Iler’s only memorable contribution was when he pleaded guilty to mugging two fellow teenagers and marijuana possession..

Anyway, it is really surprising that A.J. has not only become the focal point to the second half of this season, but also appears to be the key to wrapping up the entire show in a nice big bow.

A.J., as the episode title tells us, is "the second coming." He’s Tony Soprano alright, but without any of Tony’s personality, menace or charisma. If there is a twist to these last episodes of The Sopranos, I’d say that is it.

And like the much-maligned Dominic Monaghan on Lost, Iler has actually shown himself to be quite an actor when given his chance in the spotlight. In a season filled with great performances—mostly from the usual suspects: Gandolfini, Falco, and Imperioli—Iler can stand proudly along side his cast mates.  read more »

The real surprise in the third episode of The Sopranos was a throwaway line from Carmela Soprano, when she tells her hospitalized husband Tony she thinks one of his lieutenants has been holding back some of the vig in periodic payments.

You weren't supposed to notice this line in the tumult of the (marvelous & Oedipal) episode. But it's a giveaway on the life of the show's last season: Carmela, who has long distanced herself from her husband's business, and never gotten involved in these sorts of seamy transactions before, will take that business up with zeal now that Tony, brushed by death, is developing a spiritual life.

You heard it here first: The Sopranos will come to an end with a new boss, Mrs. Soprano, played by Edie Falco. It's inevitable, thrilling-- and yes, P.C.
