WWW.WEATHER.COM Finale finds 'Sopranos' star on curb The Associated Press NEW YORK — No wiseguys got clipped, but Tony Soprano was sent packing. The fourth season of HBO's The Sopranos ended with Carmela Soprano tossing her mob boss husband out of the house after she was tipped to his philandering by one of his scorned girlfriends. It was a powerful punch to a program that has grown into a television phenomenon since it was launched nearly four years ago. The finale could be another big ratings draw for the award-winning series, starring James Gandolfini as Tony and Edie Falco as Carmela. It was one of many twists from the finale, which re-airs Monday at 10 p.m. EST on HBO2: Carmela threw out Tony after receiving an ill-timed phone call about his extramarital affairs. Soon his clothes and golf clubs were pitched in the driveway. — The drawn-out legal battles waged by Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese) came to a tidy end thanks to a hung jury (a certain frightened juror followed his orders from Tony's crew). Christopher (Michael Imperioli) was released from his drug-rehab program professing to be free from his heroin addiction but little suspecting that fiancee Adriana (Drea de Matteo) remains a snatch for the feds. An on-again, off-again scheme to erase rival boss Carmine Lupertazzi was scrapped by Tony at the last minute. But now the author of the plan, Carmine's own underboss Johnny Sack (Vincent Curatola), is pretty sore at Tony for backing out. Put Johnny Sack near the top of Tony's enemies list next season. The intense drama of the finale was saved for the fight between Tony and Carmela. When the dispute got uglier, Carmela took her best shot: She informed Tony of her abstinent romance with one of his soldiers, ponytailed Furio — who, smitten in return, ducked this sticky situation last week by fleeing back to Italy. Explaining the effect Furio had on her, even from glances exchanged when he dropped by the house to pick up Tony, Carmela said, "I felt probably like someone who was terminally ill, and somehow they manage to forget it for a minute." In the finale, co-written by series creator David Chase, the clash between Tony and Carmela is as powerful as anything ever seen on The Sopranos. In her portrayal of a wife betrayed, enraged and despairing, Faleo outdid herself. It was an electrifying performance. All in all, this special 75-minute episode was an impressive rebuttal to complaints that the action lagged during some of the season's previous 12 hours (though no one complained about the episode where Tony decapitated his captain Ralphie). Now the season ends with everybody miserable (including Uncle Junior), but none more than Tony and Carmela. Production on the fifth, perhaps last. Sopranos season begins in January, but answers must await its return to the air next fall.
