I thought waiting for season 5 was bad, this is somehow worse. I swear if I see David Chase on the street, kick to the nads...nads used a refrence to lighter soparano's language.. http://channels.aimtoday.com/celebr...ff/story/0001/20040726/1534995208.htm&sc=1401 No 'Sopranos' Until 2006 NEW YORK (AP) - No ``Sopranos'' family members will get knocked off in 2005. That's because HBO has announced Thursday that the sixth and final season of the popular mob drama won't premiere until sometime in 2006. ``It's like the Harry Potter book,'' HBO chairman Chris Albrecht said last week. ``You'll wait very long and be happy when you get it.'' Albrecht said ``The Sopranos'' creator and executive producer David Chase can take all the time he needs to write, hinting the final season could become longer than the 10 episodes Chase committed to in January. ``The Sopranos'' wrapped up its fifth season last month. ``Until the last episode of `The Sopranos` airs, I'm always hopeful,'' Albrecht said. Other HBO shows that will live on include a fifth season of Larry David's comedy ``Curb Your Enthusiasm'' and sophomore seasons of the dark dramas ``Carnivale'' and ``Deadwood.''

Chase is going to lose an incredible amount of momentum at this rate, especially if he sticks with such a short season. He's going to spend half the season getting viewers up to speed on all the various plot arcs. And anyway, what's really left to be resolved? Johnny Sack's presumably out of the picture, the Adriana/FBI thing is taken care of, Junior's fading into the sunset, Tony and Carmela might or might not reconcile....it's hard to imagine what will be worth waiting two years for.
He isnt going to lose any momentum. hes a master at stoking the fans and making them wait, thus increasing the frenzy. I also feel pretty confident they will shoot 13 episodes for the final season. They will owe it to the fans for having No Sopranos in 2005. Sure glad Ive got DVDS.....
