Sopranos season finale...decisions decisions

[eSDee]

All of you Sopranos fans out there know that this Sunday is going to be the Sopranos season finale and is probably going to be pretty intense. However I am in a bit of a quandary and so I seek some advice.
I am a huge Sopranos fan. I didn't miss an episode last season and some episode I saw 2 or 3 times. However I moved in December and again last month, so in the meanwhile I did not have HBO. I did see the season premiere at a friends house as well as some random episode halfway through the season, as well as last weeks. However I missed all the rest of them. With the season finale coming up, I am wondering, should I watch it or should I wait until they start reairing all the reruns? I am not sure if they are going to reair the whole series but I think they will. I could do that, but then there is the possibility of some dumb ass friends of mine giving away the final episode before I see it.
What do you Soprano fans think? Should I wait to see it on the second time around, or just watch it on Sunday and then watch the rest of the season later?

"You want to die?"
TV Guide OnLine

James Gandolfini might want to share some of his reported $5 million-a-year salary with Sopranos son Robert Iler. The 16-year-old actor - who plays the troubled offspring of mob boss Tony Soprano on the HBO drama series - was arrested early Wednesday along with three other youths for allegedly robbing two teens of about $40. According to the New York Daily News, Iler - who was also charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia - threatened his victims with, "You want to die?" He later pleaded innocent and was released after posting $2,500 bail.

'Sopranos' actor Robert Iler is speaking out for the first time since his robbery and drug arrest Wednesday in Manhattan. The 16-year-old - who was picked up along with three other youths for robbing two teens of $40 - was later charged with two counts of second-degree robbery and one count of marijuana possession.

"I feel terribly embarrassed," he said in a statement. "I never ever would or did rob anyone in my life. I know that the events of the past two days have been extremely difficult for my family and friends and for that I am sorry." If convicted on all charges, Iler could face 15 years in prison. HBO, meanwhile, is standing behind their young employee, saying in a statement: "We look forward to Robert joining us when The Sopranos resumes production in the fall." Added David Chase, the show's creator and executive producer: "Robert is a really great kid. I'd be proud to have him as my son. As it is, he's a friend and a colleague. If he says he didn't rob anybody, then he didn't. It's as simple as that for me."
