The Sopranos:the return

hard to beleive it's been almost two years since the Sopranos was on HBO. now don't get me wrong in my personal Opinion the show has fallen off since 2003.the show's hey day&Peak was from 99-02,but there is a sense with this being the final Season&a Bonus 8 episodes coming next January that a spark has returned. what will Tony(James Gandolfini) do this season&What will be the implications?? this show is the brainchild of David Chase. alot of twists&turns. maybe near two years off will add some life into the overall show&Content. we shall see tonight which i expect will have a huge viewership.
