It has been two days and not a single post...., The Sopranos finale.... I am still reeling..... Options

[flatliner]

I know not what you all watch on the television, but I am one of the millions that made Tony and his family mine for 8.5 years. I was baffled by the end, and will not go any further, incase of anyone who has not seen it yet....

I've been a loyal fan over the years and I felt a bit let down. Not just by the ending, but there were a few loose strings that weren't covered. I guess that's part of the show just ending though, like we're getting cut off from the feed and life keeps going on.

Spoiler, do not read if you don't want to know.

So when the ending happened, my very first reaction was that life goes on. This was just another day in the life of Tony Soprano. But then we watched it again and Chase had filled that diner with a lot of old enemies. So, the guy that gets up to go to the bathroom in the end is Phil Leotardo's nephew or something, check the credits and you'll see. So now that I think about it, this whole time we've been watching the Sopranos kind of through Tony. So if Leotardo comes out of the bathroom with a gun and shoots Tony in the head, we fade to black. Remember the conversations, twice and then one flashback, to Tony's conversation with Bobby where he's saying you never even hear the shot coming.

All and all, I think it's a "choose your own adventure" type ending. The fans get to choose what they think happened. I didn't like the last 5 minutes though, seemed like Chase was tossing too many possibilities in there where people were going to die, but I was on the edge of my seat.

The best part was Phil's hit, I loved it... I was laughing so hard and Tivo'd back atleast 5 times.
