This is total speculation on my part, but in one of the New York newspapers recently, they had a picture of James Gandolfini and Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts) visiting troops in Iraq. The interesting thing about the picture was that Gandolfini was totally bald

This got me thinking to the episode last season when he was hanging out with Adriana and he had a little bandage on his forehead, and when Adriana asked him about it, he said that he had a little cyst that had to be removed.

Perhaps Tony Soprano will come down with cancer next year, and that's how they'll end the show?

Again, just speculation on my part, but seeing that picture got me thinking

They haven't even started filming season 6 yet so maybe he just did it becuase he was going to Iraq? What you said is possible though but who knows. There is only going to be 10 episodes in the 6th and final season as well.

Yeah, i also thought they hadnt started filming yet, but who knows. It was just a little theory i came up with. I could be totally wrong

Also, i heard that even though there's only gonna be 10 episodes, i heard the finale is gonna be 3 hours long. They have too many loose ends to only have a 10-episode season

Doesnt he do a lot of movies on the side? He could just be doing it for a movie role...
