sopranos wtf with the ending ? LOTS OF SPOILERS DUHH

Dodgy ending for a show I love. It went out like someone was looking for a movie deal. End it or don't, what the hell do we care, but do something.

(Just rewatched S1 "College". The finest TV I'll ever see.)
 
Pine Barrens. Awesome doesn't cover it.


Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: You're not gonna believe this. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.
Christopher Moltisanti: His house looked like ****.

Personally i thought it was a good ending. The way it was done left it open to interpret the way you wanted - loved the use of the journey song (even though Glee now ruins it :().

If any of you guys get to New York, you MUST go on the Sopranos Tour - you get to sit in the booth that Tony & Family are sitting at in that final scene! :D
 
So many ppl crying about the ending and well it boggles my mind . Is it just that people have to have closure to feel the series has ended ?.

Come on people you are better than this.
 
He blatantly died. Lets be honest. Sill bitter about the ending all these years on...epic show though. I wish they would re-release it on blu ray.
 
David Chase publicist released a statement saying his comments about whether Tony was dead were misconstrued

A journalist for Vox misconstrued what David Chase said in their interview. To simply quote David as saying," Tony Soprano is not dead," is inaccurate. There is a much larger context for that statement and as such, it is not true.

As David Chase has said numerous times on the record, "Whether Tony Soprano is alive or dead is not the point." To continue to search for this answer is fruitless. The final scene of THE SOPRANOS raises a spiritual question that has no right or wrong answer.

It is an absolutely brilliant ending.

Since seeing it can't help but choke up every time I hear that song. I got pretty emotional watching it and I'm not afraid to admit it. You know the end of the show is coming no matter how much you want it to continue, and when that song starts playing there is a sort of acceptance as to the finality of it all, that this really is the end and that this will be the last episode there will be. For me the music really does act like a clock counting down the final moments of the show that is making sure you know that it is ending now and that it cannot be ignored. The whole scene is just perfect, with the onion rings for the table, A.J saying to remember the good times, the whole thing with the perspective and the bell - watching from Tony's perspective you can feel the atmosphere of the room and what it would really like to be sitting there, the overhanging threat of indictments, the ratcheting of the tension with Meadow parking her car - is she going to make it in to the final scene as the song comes to a crescendo? What is the guy in the members only jacket doing there... where is he going?! Why can't Meadow park her damn car?!? In those last moments I feel like the audience is put in a position where they recollect all of the most memorable moments from the past 6 seasons, in preparation for a climatic ending that somehow ties it all together. When the screen finally went black and the music stopped I was left breathless and with my heart racing. I wouldn't have had it any other way.
 
I saw some items in the press that said, "This was a huge **** you to the audience." That we were ******** in the audience's face. Why would we want to do that? Why would we entertain people for eight years only to give them the finger? We don't have contempt for the audience. In fact, I think The Sopranos is the only show that actually gave the audience credit for having some intelligence and attention span. We always operated as though people don't need to be spoon-fed every single thing—that their instincts and feelings and humanity will tell them what's going on.

There are no esoteric clues in there. No Da Vinci Code. Everything that pertains to that episode was in that episode. And it was in the episode before that and the one before that and seasons before this one and so on. There had been indications of what the end is like. Remember when Gerry Torciano was killed? Silvio was not aware that the gun had been fired until after Gerry was on his way down to the floor. That's the way things happen: It's already going on by the time you even notice it. I'm not saying anything. And I'm not trying to be coy. It's just that I think that to explain it would diminish it.
