lousy ending to a eight year run what a disappointment.
I thought it was a great ending. The suspence in the diner is Godfather like; however, I would think Tony, like the gunfighters of old would have sat with his back to the wall or corner. Looks like a sure winner as a movie in a few years.
The cat's arrival. The tension in the last scene. The lighting throughout the first few episodes. Amazing bits to an otherwise underwhelmingly written season. Great production, excellent cast. But I'm glad it's over.
I don't think this is a set-up for a movie. I think the reason he left everything unresolved is because life is unresolved. The drama during the last scene was simply too create a memorable last scene that everyone would talk about
Let me first say that I love The Soprano's! But this last episode left more questions than answers. I thought a season finale was suppose to tie up loose ends? I am glad that Phil got his ass whacked, but what about Paulie, was he a rat? And why didn't they at least let Carmela get beat down or something? It would have been beautiful to see the ultimate hypocrite get her just due. I chose to watch The Sopranos over the San Antonio & Cleveland finals. Both could have been missed:-( I only hope that this was not a ploy by the writers and producers to bring the show back from the grave. It won't be the first time that the viewers are held hostage and forced to demand more! In closing, I am glad that the character that played Silvio was left in limbo. It would have been a danmn shame to kill off such a cool ass character...he should have been boss!!!
I liked the final episode since it maintains the possibility of future 'Sopranos' movies. A week ago people were speculating that Tony would be killed off by the NY mob in the final episode, but this ending preserves the main characters. 'Sporanos' is a franchise, and its value was undiminished by this ending.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT......................
go back and look closely. the guy at the bar was credited as Nicki Leotardo --we saw him briefly in season six. clearly he was nervous, out for blood revenge, despite the fact that phil was whacked with new york's approval. he knows what a renegade killing means for him, that's why he appears so furtive and nervous. he walks to the bathroom, to gain the advantage by getting out of tony's line of sight. he steps out just as meadow walks in....
go back and look closely. meadow's expression in the final half second as she walks into the restaurant says it all.
the abrupt cut to black silence was brilliant. remember the line from last week: 'you never see it coming, and i suppose everything goes black.'
yes fans, tony WAS shot. his ending was artfully rendered, but it leaves no doubt, really.
that's as much as we know for now. life goes on. the end -- until the sopranos movie next year.
Maybe this was Chase's way of whacking his show

and you observed very well, there was a lot of visual chicanery in the diner shots, he appeared to be looking at himself sitting, and the girl was a ringer for Janice.
