It was quite the Roller Coaster ride, brilliant ending. Hopefully there will be a movie.

I completely agree. My immediate reaction was WHAT? NO! But within 10 minutes I realized that the ending was brilliant. There it was, for us to observe and feel … ongoing, never-ending, mind-bending high tension interacting with the ordinary tedium of the lives the Sopranos lived.

Episode was brilliant. It was subtle. Chase directed it himself.

Guy at counter was Nicky Leotardo, Philâ€™s nephew

2 Black guys were the ones that tried to shoot Tony in an earlier season but missed and clipped his ear.

The truck driver was the brother of someone robbed and killed by Christopher in season 2.

Cub scouts were witnesses in the train store when Bobby got shot.

Do you remember the convo that bobby and Tony had two episodes ago in the boat,about getting whacked? He said if you were to get whacked, you would never see it coming

The Sopranos series was a view into the day and life of the mob- like looking into a window, you only see a glimpse of what’s going!

I just started watching the show mainly due to promos for it that had such great music. I’m hooked on this family and this story, although I never thought I would watch it because of the violence and language. I have now rented the first 3 seasons and am about to get the 4th. So I know how the Sopranos ends and it makes no difference to following the storyline and getting into the show. It seems like a great way to end the series to me. Bottom line, people, it’s a tv show – seems like some watchers take things way too seriously – its the journey, not the destination that matters. Just my opinion!

One last thought. “The Sopranos Movie”: Sil recovers and becomes boss of the family. Tony is in a coma, and plays the diner scene over and over again, each and every week.

let’s all go on-line and insist that Chase give us a different last episode that satisfies so we can put this to bed and move on. How can we move on without closure? When you break up with someone by them just moving away from you and never speaking to you again, you agonize over it for a very long time. David, you are a very cruel x-lover.

Still posting a week after the show has ended. We need a new gangster show so we can get the Sopranos off our minds. Why did we care so much about those stupid characters, who, if they really existed, would be living high off the hog by stealing from us?

“The Sopranos” has always been like this: maddeningly inconsistent. Flashes of brilliance interspersed with mind-numbing tedium. Much like David Chase’s own career: from “The Rockford Files” to “The Sopranos”. The show jumped the shark years ago, and I only came back to watch the final season believing the HBO hype (“only two more episodes left!”) of a secret spectacular finale. I was not hoping for a whack…just a satisfying resolution.

I’ve read all the theories and the one that makes the most sense to me is we, the audience, got whacked (“we never saw it coming, we didn’t feel a thing, all of a sudden the music stopped and everything went black”).

The “Tony got whacked” theory only holds water until James Gandolfini signs up for the Sopranos movie.

David Chase has been lazy and undisciplined his whole career (“Should I be a drummer in a rock band? A feature film director?”) and telling HBO he needed two years off to “think of an ending” is just further proof.

In the end, it appears the blogosphere put more thought into the ending than David Chase ever did.

What is our continued fascination with this mafia, organized crime thing? Nobody, including me, can stop thinking about it. The show really had to end when it did. Who wants to see Tony slobbering and toothless like Uncle Joon, Carmela losing her looks, and getting fat because she starts eating her own cooking, and the 2 Soprano kids, (clueless both), spending Daddys money, even trying to find his secret stash like Janice was Livias?

Our lives may go on and on and on, but we don’t get drama and excitement every day. We need some new blood and a new gangster show to sublimate our inner need for power.

By the way, I hated Christopher. He was a drugged out, violent, blood thirsty henchman, who was seen blowing away people without flinching. He also beat the crap out of Ade every chance he got, and went ballistic on Tony cause he thought Tony had screwed Ade.

I think the series should have ended the episode when AJ tried to kill himself. Tony should have jumped in the pool, held AJ under until he was dead, then, pulled him out, called 911 (on his waterproof cell ph.), then called Carmela.

Tony: “AJ’s dead”
Carmela: “Oh my God. Is my spec house ok?”

Tony was ruthless, yes, but not as inhumane as Phil. Remember the episode when Phil and his cronies killed Vito, and how they wanted to torture Tonys cousin before killing him after he killed Phils bro? Tony shot his cousin cleanly, killing him instantly, and even in Chris’s case, he knew Chris was high on drugs, and probably wouldn’t suffer. It was a mercy killing.

Tony did give us closure. He showed his gentleness by sitting for hours at Sils bedside, then holding his hand. Tony had such a sad look on his face. Then he made closure with Uncle Joon, and finally did right by Janice. What more closure did you wantS? The whole episode was about closure, and it showed that Tony really was’nt all bad. He didn’t order Carlo whacked for flipping!!!
