She was walking toward it and you heard it open, but you never saw who opened it when Tony looked up and it went to black.

Yes, I know. But it was the best time to pull the black screen because it left in an air of suspense. The cut there leaves the moment open for everyone to speculate what exactly happened.

Very interesting:

A theory proposed by a reader of the NJ.com Sopranos blog using the handle Lorbnash: the nine episodes of this season have represented the nine circles of Hell from Dante's "The Divine Comedy." The fourth circle, for instance, is for the greedy and the miserly; the fourth episode was Tony and Hesh's gambling showdown. The seventh circle is where the suicides go; A.J. took his dip in the family pool in episode seven. The ninth circle is for the traitors, and Butchie implicitly betrayed Phil. (For added fun, reader Joe Adler pointed out the similarities between the Eugene Delacroix painting "The Barque of Dante" and the Annie Leibovitz promotional image on the season five DVD set. Google them both if you want your mind blown.)

I get what people are trying to say about the ending but I think it still sucked.

i still totally agree with you. i swear to god it's "the emperor's new clothes," story with the sopranos. so many people have said how outstanding and groundbreaking the sopranos is; and how many obscure, but important references chase includes, that it MUST be good, even if i don't think so.


hey, david chase ended the series in the middle of a scene. but it didn't actually show us any new insight; it's just tony the mob boss being worried about the potential dangers inherent in the business. but it's the sopranos! it's groundbreaking! oh yeah! i loved the ending! didn't you hear? it was groundbreaking!

I didn't know that Michael Imperioli is 41 and James Gandolfini is 46.

They seem much further apart in age. Hmm.

Yeah, David Chase probably said to himself, "I am going to create the worst ending possible and some people will still say that it is genius". Either that or he just got too artsie fartsie with it.

When it ended I said, "what the hell was that" and then I was left with the feeling that I watched the entire series for nothing. What a joke!
