    Sopranos

    WTF? Did my tivo shit out on me or is that really how they ended one of the best series ever?

    As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.

        At least Entourage in Columbia should get interesting.

          SPOILER BELOW!















          That pissed me off pretty good. I was hoping that it would end up in an all out war and that everyone would shoot eachother at the same time and fall in to a river of blood. But in all seriousness, I saw what I wanted to. Phil Leotardo got fucking wacked and his skull crushed.

          THe whole thing at the end is intended to leave it open to interpretation for the viewer. The guy in the diner that kept eyeing Tony went in to the bathroom and we didn't get to see him ome out. Did the guy come back out and waste Tony? Who knows. I think it was meant to leave it up to you how you want it to end.

          And i think "Don't stop believing" by Journey was a great song for the ending.

            haha apparently there have been a few people that have felt this way (including myself)

            i thought the ending was kick ass though...leaves it to the viewer to decide for themselves what happens.

            Did anyone watch that "John from Cincinnati" show after?

                Let's face it. Any possible ending scenario would piss a large group of people off. Tony dies, Tony rats, Tony lives happily ever after, whatever...This was probably the "safest" ending, even though people are pissed they didn't get their closure.

                  I think they shouldve ended with the last scene from the episode before. Tony falling asleep with his AR across his chest.

                    And for icing on the cake, a resolution within the the Soprano family itself. Although they are all so different, they could accept each other as they are and all over a communal order of onion rings. Now, if they could just get that girl to learn parallel parking.

                      God I know. I was cringing every time she scuffed one of those rims on the curb. Tragic.

                        I finally saw it tonight and I have to admit I was pissed at first. After doing some checking around it is starting to make sense. Here are a few ideas from Bimmerforums:

                        after searching around, here's what was found out. The guy at the bar is also credited as Nikki Leotardo. The same actor played him in the first part of season 6 during a brief sit down concerning the future of Vito. That wasn't that long ago. Apparently, he is the nephew of Phil. Phil's brother Nikki Senior was killed in 1976 in a car accident. Absolutely Genius!!!! David Chase is truly rewarding the true fans who pay attention to detail.

                        So the point would have been that life continues and we may never know the end of the Sopranos. But if you pay attention to the history, you will find that all the answers lie in the characters in the restaurant. The trucker was the brother of the guy who was robbed by Christopher in Season 2. Remember the DVD players? The trucker had to identify the body. The boy scouts were in the train store and the brothas at the end were the ones who tried to kill Tony and only clipped him in the ear (was that season 2 or 3?).

                        Absolutely incredible!!!! There were three people in the restaurant who had reason to kill Tony and then it just ends. This was Chase's way of proving that he will not escape his past. It will not go on forever despite that he would like it to "don't stop". Not the fans!!! Tony would like it to keep going but just as we have to say goodbye, so does he.
                        and another:

                        Here we go..of course this isn't PROOF, but it's reasonably sound speculation.

                        He was killed....

                        in fact, the ending was genius if you've paid attention to the show or
                        are just a fan of well developed well thought out plots that all tie
                        together and have the memory of a champ to remember it all the ending
                        was simple, he got killed, but let me tell yall why and explain in
                        detail... There was 3 people in the room total who had a reason to kill
                        tony.....

                        the two black guys, they were paid before to kill tony but he was only
                        shot in the ear, this was in one of the earlier seasons, also in the
                        earlier seasons, the trucker who was sitting at the bar stool, who the
                        camera kept focusing in on, is Nikki leotardo, Phil Leotardos nephew, he
                        was in one of the early season episodes where Phil and Tony have a sit
                        down....

                        heres where the genius comes in....

                        When tonys walking in the diner,you see the camera focus on him, then it
                        switches to his perspective, and you see him looking @ the booth hes
                        gonna sit at...

                        then the camera switches back to tonys face, then it once again switches
                        to his perspective, and it shows him looking @ the door and looking @
                        the people come in..... Everytime the door opens the Chimes sound.......

                        Carmela walks in, Chimes, AJ walks in Chimes, this when Meadows parallel
                        parking, still trying to get inside the restaurant....

                        at this point the camera switches back to the trucker who goes in the
                        bathroom......

                        Then it goes to a scene where meadow finally parks and starts running in
                        the diner....

                        the doors about to open, Tony looks up....

                        and No Chimes......................

                        no Music............

                        verything just goes black...............

                        n one of the early episodes of the sopranos, tonys talking with bobby
                        bout what it must feel like to die..

                        Bobby says "at the end, you probably dont hear anything, everything just
                        goes black"

                        part of that was revisited in the second to last episode during the last
                        seconds of it, when tonys about to go to sleep and he flashes back to
                        the memory of him and bobby on the boat... "You probably dont hear
                        anything everything just goes black"

                        so in the end, the Journey song was playing, the chimes on the door
                        sounded but when meadow came in, the guy in the trucker hat came out and
                        killed tony...

                        its the reason you aint hear, or see sh!t when he died.... it was from
                        his perspective.... and everything went black, then the credits rolled.

                              Golly.. I have never seen this much outrage over the ending of a series since they stopped doing Seinfeld.
