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.

Oh pezzy you let me down. I was so waiting for your post. In the credits, unless Phil's nephew is named "man in members only jacket" than this was not some nephew. Not to mention, if Phil had a nephew, he would have been at the big "wake/party" at the bar like the rest of Phils family, and we would have recognized him.

The has grown on me. It literally shows what tony goes through every day. Everone is a suspect, he barely batted an eye at the man in the members only jacket. We were forced to look at him. The dude in the USA hat could have been starting at him, but we would never know, because Chase made us focus on the guy who looked italian, who looked like a hitman, who in the end just was a guy who had to pee. All of the speculation on the last scene is null and void. The 2 black guys were not the guys who tried to kill him last time, unless one can come back from the dead. The trucker dude would have no reason to do anything, but there is the cubscouts....

They sent 2 guys to hit Bobby and they just walked up and killed him. They sent 2 guys to kill Silvio and they just pulled up and killed him. But for Tony, they sent 1 guy who will sneak up on him? Nah. Does not fit the "we are taking over" plan New York would use.

We were not shown the whole series through Tony, or we would have never seen the other plots. He was a main focus, but not the only story line.


We were shown how Tony Soprano can deal with the possibilty of death around each corner with ease. How he deals with impending jail time, and the worries of his wife and kids with that "tony" way of shrugging it off. He is used to it. We are not. We always want to be part of these mafia families and we were drawn into the sopranos like a member of thier family, and just like that, Chase really made us members of it. WE were killed off. It sucks to die I am sure, but this is what death would be like if it were rational. You do not get to see them anymore...

COme on PEZ!!! Get that big creative brain going!!!
