Yea and what a let down. I think they phoned it in. It looked like a college art film where the director and writer are trying to fill it with tons of sublimminal messages. Like the painting of the Volcano in the background (Implying things are blowing up) at the wake. The scrambled eggs being made while Tony visited Sil (His brain is scrambled into a irreversable coma). I would have been happier if they had killed the son. I don't know what all the therapist Siviol watch now that the Soprano's is gone. I'm glad that everything the guy in the Tallahassee Democrat said he thought would happen, didn't. HAHA No white shoes reference in this one. uncle June shold have let on he's playing sick. Janice should have had her head run over by the car while Bobbys kids drove the SUV. Just an opine of mine.

I watched TWICE. It kinda felt a little down about it this morning, what am I going to do on Sunday nights now? I'm glad they got Phil but that was the only real action in the whole finale. That just goes to show you that David Chase knew what he was doing writing this last season, everybody was watching just waiting for the other shoe to drop and it just faded to black.

This is what someone forwarded too me....
Tony 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 is 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............
Everything just goes black...............
In one of the early episodes of the sopranos, tonys talking with
bobby about 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 dont hear or see sh!t when he died.... it was
from his perspective.... and everything went black, then the credits rolled.

A few quote from David Chase...
It he leaves it all up to us- and keeps it open for a Movie.
Brilliant!
Chase said he would leave it to fans to interpret the show's last scene for themselves. It featured the members of the Soprano family arriving for dinner as Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" plays. Others in the restaurant include a man in a Member's Only jacket who goes to the bathroom, which some fans have interpreted as a nod to the scene in "The Godfather" in which Michael Corleone retrieves a gun from the bathroom before a shooting.
As the music and tension build, the screen suddenly goes silent and dark.
"I have no interest in explaining, defending, reinterpreting, or adding to what is there," said Chase, 61, who grew up in North Caldwell.
"People get the impression that you're trying to (mess) with them, and it's not true. You're trying to entertain them," he said. "Anybody who wants to watch it, it's all there."
Another problem with a movie is that so many characters died in the last season. Chase said he has considered "going back to a day in 2006 that you didn't see, but then (Tony's children) would be older than they were then and you would know that Tony doesn't get killed. It's got problems."
Chase also elaborated on how he decided to make the Journey classic the last music played on the series.
"It didn't take much time at all to pick it, but there was a lot of conversation after the fact. I did something I'd never done before: In the location van, with the crew, I was saying, `What do you think?' When I said, `Don't Stop Believin',' people went, `What? Oh my God!'
"I said, `I know, I know, just give a listen,' and little by little, people started coming around."
