The Sopranos' ending

[riffer]

So...

what do you reckon about that ending?

A massive anticlimax, or how it really happens...

Wasn't it Pauly who said a couple of weeks back that you never even hear the shot that takes you out?

[MyGSXF:Me]

[Drum]

A setup so they can squeeze a movie out of it?

[orangeback]

[Skyryder]

Bit of a letdown. But they can keep their options open.

Guy who went to the toilet drilled Tony in the swede.

better remember not to make any phone calls at a servo though

Was Bobby that said that, when they were out on the lake in the episode where Bobby and Tony had that fight.

And yeah, I still reckon the series ended like that in order for a possible movie

[nudemetalz]

True.
Was Meadow stuffing up her carparking buying time for that ending?
When that was happening, it got you thinking "right, something big is about to happen" like at that ending of one of the seasons where a tree fell onto the restaurant.

I'm just so sad it's over
Disappointed slightly with the ending, but hey, they could've really fucked it up. Had to say the Sopranos line at the end "What the Fock!"
I still think they should have ended it with Tony sitting by the pool and the ducks fly in and land in the pool, like it began so long ago. Now that would've been poetic. well, at least now people will have something to buy me for Xmas and birthday presents, each season on DVD.

LMAO I LOVE quotes like this.... And Pauly would know this because....?

Because the dead man who never heard the shot told him????

I'm a recent convert and being a mile or three behind the 8 ball didnt realise that last nights WAS the final episode!!!! Damn. The guy goes to the toilet, camera goes back to the Sopranos table, everyone has an onion ring, then "end of the ferkin episode"...What was that about!!!! Not even a friggin gunshot (or did I blink and miss something). I mean you could tell SOMETHING was gonna happen, with all the build up looking at the guy at the bar etc, but no satisfaction (as Mick Jagger so famously said). I feel ripped off!!! Anyone else?

Quite a good summary of the ending here

A massive anticlimax

Agree. they had so many options for the end, and in the end left it to our own imagination.

Oh - its a TV show? Ferk - I thought another opera star had died... Stuffed if I know i was twidding with bikes in the garage...

No, just setting the tone for what will follow.

There's all sorts of neat stuff in the Sopranos - the obvious constant homages to the godfather movies, the use of colour to indicate what is going to happen next.

I just loved the cat as the visual metaphor for death. Did you notice the cat on the picture on the wall above Tony - class.
