>Sopranos is just restarting here. I don't know whether i missed the 1st episode but the trailer shows Tony in hospital and his son baying for Junior's blood. Maybe it happes at the start of the series. I don't recall a hit on Tony at the end of the last series - am I wrong?

You missed the first episode. At the end of it Uncle Junior shoots Tony, apparently mistaking him for a guy who ripped Junior off back in the 1950s.

This (half) season was not as good as some others but it wasn't as bad as Kevin says, either.
