The production company apparently went to HBO after filming for next season had been completed. They told HBO that they had enough footage for another season. That could be good, or it could be slop. I hope they didn't pick footage up from the cutting room floor and decide to piece together additional episodes.

I had heard that early on, when shooting began for the sixth season, HBO execs had approached Chase about doing another, 7th season. It was known, apparently, by the execs, that Chase had dithced a few storyline ideas that he had wanted to explore, because there just wasn't enough time. The "hitch" in doing more shows was the committment of cast memebers to other projects. The way the "Sopranos" is written, I would be very surprised if they just piece-mealed extra episodes together, using scrapped footage....
Ned Flanders Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I'm hoping that we finally hear what happened to the Russian goon Walnuts and Christopher tried to ditch in the woods...

I don't really mean scrapped footage, but what it sounds like is one episode has enough footage to get 1.5 episodes so the keep footage they would not have had time for etc.
Terry Tate Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I'm hoping that we finally hear what happened to the Russian goon Walnuts and Christopher tried to ditch in the woods... That was no goon. The guy killed 16 Czechoslovakians, and he was an interior decorator.
Ned Flanders Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I'm wondering about Fierio. What hte hell happened to THAT guy. He just disappeared! 406360[/snapback] Remember hearing in one episode, T had him "dispatched" back to Italy to "keep watch on the family" after T heard Carmela had the hots for him... Or something like that...
Mile High Posted August 13, 2005 Author Posted August 13, 2005 All in all that was probaly one of my favorite episodes ever. The other one being where Ralphie got hacked up in the bath tub by Tony and Christopher.

Or something like that... 406371[/snapback] Yeah but at the last episode of the fourth season it showed him and Tony standing in front of a helicopter blade. Tony then took a step behind him and then the scene cut.... Then he wasn't even in the fifth season. But yeah I do remember him saying that.
Fan in San Diego Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I'm wondering about Fierio. What hte hell happened to THAT guy. He just disappeared! 406360[/snapback] Caught a 9mm in the left temple in the New Jersey woods !
meazza Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 that story has no plot sence i mean who stole paulie's caddy and as if the russians arent gonna know who did it and as for furio he was my favorite character, he came from the town im from
Buftex Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Remember hearing in one episode, T had him "dispatched" back to Italy to "keep watch on the family" after T heard Carmela had the hots for him... Or something like that... 406371[/snapback] Actually, they showed what happened to Furio. He went back to Italy for his father's funeral. While there, he confided to elder "family" member that he was in love with a woman, who was too good for her husband, but that it was one of his bosses' wives. The elder gentlemen told him that he should not pursue it, if he did, somebody would die. Furio then decided to move back to Italy...the reference about having him "dispatched", I think, was supposed to indicate that, after Carmella admitted to Tony that she had fantacized about Furio, he hadn't forgotten about it. Perhaps he will arrange for their to be some repercussions for Furio, somewhere down the road...we will now have 20 more episodes to wonder what is going to happen. I can't wait...to me, the "Sopranos" is still, hands down, the best thing to happen to television in decades...
R. Rich Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I still haven't seen the original episodes of the Sapranos.
Buftex Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I still haven't seen the original episodes of the Sapranos. 406442[/snapback] If you mean that you haven't seen the first season, get out there man, rent them. I guarantee you will be absolutely hooked by the fourth episode. You may be tempted to watch all 13, back to back, in one sitting, they are that good. The first season stands on its' own as one great, very long, movie...
Beerball Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I still haven't seen the original episodes of the Sapranos. 406442[/snapback] Based on your Godfather knowledge I think you better check it out. No, it's not in the same league, but very good TV IMO.
BRH Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 That was no goon. The guy killed 16 Czechoslovakians, and he was an interior decorator. 406362[/snapback] Yeah but his house looked like sh--!
