He looks old. He feels old. On the season premiere of "The Sopranos," mob boss and family man Tony Soprano is marking his 47th birthday in a funk.
"I'm old, Carm," he tells his wife, "and my body has suffered a trauma that it will probably never fully recover from. So why don't we just face the facts?"
A central fact for Tony is that last season, brain-addled Uncle Junior shot and nearly killed him. Nothing so traumatic will greet Tony (or the audience) when this HBO drama returns with the first of its final nine episodes. But the opener delivers fresh evidence that Tony's deepest fears are right on target. Time is running out, and he seems to be bracing for the end.
So are viewers, with the glorious series just weeks from its conclusion.
