"Bada Bing"

So I am sure you have all been waiting to hear what I thought about the Sopranos finale. Well I am sure you heard by now (if you were not one of the millions watching) that the show cut to black in the middle of a scene and thats how it ended. The final scene had Tony waiting at a resturant for his family. He puts on a Journey song, first his wife Carmella enters than his son AJ. Meadow his daugther finally makes it in after trying to park her car.


Now this pissed many people off but, before that I want to adress the big theory out there about what happened. Many people thought it was black because Tony got whacked and thats whyey everything stopped. Okay, thats a good theory, but already many of the email or whatever going around on the internet just have things flat out wrong. The shifty guy with the Members Only jacket was not Phil's newphew and the black dudes that walked in were not hitman from earlyin the series. In fact they looked almost nothing liked those guys and were a lot younger. Also, people bring up the line in the season 6B opener "Sopranos Home Movies" with Tony and Bobby on the boat, the scene was replayed in the next to last show "The Blue Comet" so there might be
some meaning to that. However, he does not say "Everything goes black", he simply says I bet you never hear it coming. So, that quote got messed up by people sending emails out.

Here are other theories:

The audience got whacked

Tony was going to jail and just soaking in what little time he had left with his family thats all there was to the last scene.

David Chase hates everyone

Despite some plots being tied up, Tony's fate will forever be left up to the viewer to decide. If its a happy ending for Tony his family you want, than thats how it ended. If you think it would have been cool if Tonys brains got blown out all over his oninon rings than thats how it ended for you.What David Chase did really got people talking and angered most. It started up debates on the internet. I honestly, after being puzzled about it first actually didn't mind the show. In fact over all the episode was good and the final 9 shows as a whole were great.

Now most people that fight on the internet are saying that they think anyone that didnt like the ending is stupid. I dont agree with that, it is what it is. The people that hated the ending are being told they kiss David Chases ass, or whatever. The show really stayed true to itself for the most part, it was always about the Tony's double life. His family at home, and his crime family. "Made in America", the finale, focused more on his home family. The show really made people realize that tv can be better than movies, and broke new ground. It did it really by making its own rules, and than breaking some of them. I always spent much time after each show talking to friends about the show, about the meaning behind certain things and where the show is going. I was sad that it was over. But, really the show has left us with the gift to do that forever. Talking about Tony's fate.

Now, I am not saying thats how I always wanted it to end. But aside from the ending scene. There was quite a bit of closure in the final show. Anyone that watched all the shows (some like 3times) like myself couldn't help but find the Tony/Uncle Junior scene emotional, the NY/NJ conflict was resolved, and Paulie had some classic moments. The show was always about the peoples everday lives really. Really, The Sopranos isnt like anything that was ever on tv before, and likely nothing will come close to it for a long time. It was a great ride really, and if you think about it the fade to black was pretty much what the Sopranos for the most part was all about, like it or not.
