‘The whole story is one long dream from a coma that Kevin Finnerty the salesman (aka Tony) is in.’
This was speculated by a Star Ledger reader. It was published this weekend. I thought was interesting and think that it’s likely to play out.
Btw, If you don’t remember the episode where Tony is in a coma and dreams of being Kevin Finnerty you can check out the summary of that episode on HBO.com.
The reader supports his theory:
‘Several episodes this season open with Tony lying in bed or getting out of bed.’ Last weeks episode ended with Tony, ‘patting pillows with nice linen as he lay down on a mattress with no sheet.’ (holding bobby’s gun.) So what. Well, ‘a comatose person’s only tangible and consistent connection to reality is a clean linen pillow case.’
I support it:
The name of the final episode is, ‘Made in America.’ Kevin Finnerty is a solar heating system salesman from Arizona. Both he and his product seem very much to be, ‘Made in America.’
The sh!^ hits the fan this season soon after Little Carmine tells Tony that he is, ‘at a cross-roads,’ and must make good with Phil Leotardo for beating up the member of Phil’s crew that had something to say to Meadow. Maybe Kevin heard the doctor tells his family that his medical condition was at such a cross-roads.
Judging by what follows in Tony’s world, (Bobby gets killed, Sil gets shot, AJ tries to kill himself, and now Tony himself is in hiding.); I think that Kevin’s health was in fact at a cross-roads and that it went south. The imagery of all playing out in Kevin’s dream has been a bi-product of the stress that Kevin has endured through his declining medical condition.
We’ll see.
