I no i have like 2 posts but after thinking about the ending for the past hour I've got to say this:(just my opinion of course)

Sorry guys tony's dead. Wasn't the way the sound faded out and how quickly things cut off alittle odd. Yea ? Well i think that was more of an ode to the conversation him and Bobby had in the beginning of the season; YOU NEVER HEAR IT COMING. Hence the no sound on the credits. The last vision tony saw was of meadow. He didnt even see the guy coming out the bathroom popping a cap in his ass. (or whoever else it may have been) It was just a cut off. We saw the very last scence through tonys eyes ( meadow) then boom - cut off cause he got shot.

I think i got it

Remember last weeks episode, the flash back to Tony and Bobby on the boat? Tony (or Bobby, I cant remember) says "they say you dont hear it when its coming" about being killed.

Now think to the finale. As was said before, maybe all that happened in the end was what Tony seen before he died, and it going black was him dying. And everything went quiet and you dont hear the gunshot because "you never hear it when its coming"

thats my theory.

fuck i so didnt steal that from you. I came to the same conclusion only didnt see you had posted it already
 
i loved the ending. my husband was just sitting there, waiting for the bloodbath, and perhaps it was just my spite and the *plur* but, i really appreciated that he didn't go for easy and trite violence a lot of us were expecting.

although, i am totally seeing yalls you never hear it coming theory, it makes sense.....
 
in a way, it was a good ending.

in another, it fucking sucked.

haha i just think that hardcore soprano fans are devastated from the fact, they don't know for a fact what happened.
 
^
That's about it. It can be anything you want it to be, and if it's ambiguous, so was the show.

David Chase is a fucking genius. That's all we need to know.

:)

Thanks for the show.
 
No, it's a cop out.

It's "Shit, I don't know how to end this show without pissing people off, so I'll leave it open ended."

This isn't a "Choose Your Own Adventure" Story.
 
Boooooooooooooo!!!!!

Fuck that ending, Fuck the whole final episode, Fuck this whole season, Fuck the season before this one, Fuck David Chase, Fuck HBO,Fuck the Sopranos, FUUUCKK!!!

I dont give a fuck if they do come out with a movie, because Im not going to go see it and be disappointed one more time by the Sopranos. Fuck that and Fuck them.

Bah, keep thinking about the ending, you realize some things. As for what they are, I'll leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions. That's art in the purest form possible, and that's what this show will be remembered as, a true groundbreaking masterpiece.

Dont try and make excuses for it, because it is what it is....a fucking bullshit ending, episode, and season. I loved the show as much as the next guy, but WTF. Im not going to allow myself to put a spin on it to make myself look at it in a different way to angle and convince myself that it was good, because it wasnt......I shouldnt have to either. Simple and plain it was complete bullshit.
 
"You never hear the shot that kills you," was said during the opening episode of this season in a converstion between Tony and Bobby.

My theory is that when the screen fades to black in the final episode, this merely siginifies that WE, THE VIEWERS are dead - that we no longer get a glimpse each Sunday evening (with ocassional 84-week break) - no more play-cool-ass-song-while-the-closing-credits-roll-as-in-every-other-episode for us - we're dead - into the lives of the Sopranos, but for Tony Soprano, life goes on, with his biological family, not unlike the typical nuclear American family, going through its shares of ups and downs.

Tony, has to live in a constant hell on Earth, which he created for himself (i.e., panic attacks and constant paranoia, and always having to look over his shoulder, due to the lifestyle he's chosen, as in the final scene).

I think that the closing scene hints upon the fact that no matter how loyal he was to his mafia family, when push came to shove, his loyalty, and this show, were really all about his ties and his loyalty to his biological family all along - about the fact that he truly wanted, more than anything, for his children to live the American dream, the right way - to break the cycle in which he was raised.

Just my interpretatition, of which there will probably be millions.

I have to say I'm siding with this. This was a pretty amateurish move, and confirms what I've been fearing about this season. Namely, that graceful storytelling has departed. This season was nothing but a long sequence of events that doesn't really end so much as it stops. I've seen films on Mystery Science Theatrer 3000 that pull the same trick, films like Monster A Go-Go, Red Zone Cuba and Skydivers. It sucked then and it sucks now.

My biggest problem is that you are required to sort out this ending for it to have any artistic value. Six Feet Under's ending invited you to probe the sequence to find the layers of deeper meaning, but did not demand it. We're not really discussing the layers of deeper meaning here - we're trying to figure out what actually happened, which is simply shitty writing.

David Chase's heart just wasn't in it this time around.

^If the final scene was Pauly fucking the cat in the ass while Tony took a shit in Phil's neck, would that make it great, because it would cause such a reaction?

Quit trying to act like you "get it". There's nothing to "get". It was a bullshit ending to a phenomenal show.

But when has the show been tidy with it's stories?
Click to expand...

I find the show to have been quite tidy. It's certainly been prone to digressions, but you always learned something useful from it - consider the first season episode "Boca" where Tony considers killing the soccer coach. He came home at the end of the episode piss drunk and crying because he was so happy he didn't kill someone. It was a classic character moment, which made the whole subplot worthwhile. What, exactly, did we learn from Carmela's spec house subplot? What did we learn from Christopher's fling with the realtor?
 
That was complete BS. It's hard to imagine how anybody, from a fan of the show to a casual viewer, could walk away after watching the finale and say they were satisfied with the ending. People may argue that leaving it open-ended shows creativity and makes you think, but that doesn't make it a good ending. David Chase is just leaving the door open to make a movie or continue the series in the future if he feels like it (or wants more money).

What about the russian guy in the woods from Season 3? Never heard anything about it since. It's actually the one plot thread dangling that kind of irritates me.

"Pine Barrens," though, was one of the most individually memorable episodes of the show. It wasn't about the Russian, it was about bringing the tension between Christopher and Paulie to its boiling point in a rather hilarious way. They never needed to bring him back.
 
I guess I'm the only one that liked the ending. Chase didn't try to end the series with a bunch of fireworks and whistles. It's more realistic, more artistic and closer to Chase's overall style. Everyone's so caught up with closure in multi-media. I guess I'm just not on the same wavelength.

Chase certainly made me and my fellow Sopranos-lovers discuss our interpretations for quite a while after the show. And to be honest, wasn't that what the at the core of The Sporanos? Speculation about "what happens next"? I think he pounced on this and ended the series the way it has been running for years. I don't see anything wrong with that.
 
Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!

One person survived from the family and I know why...
Symbolism, I love it! Such an amazing ending.

/ fade away...
 
Theres talk on the Sopranos community board that the ending was different at different show times...
 
Saying Adriana was working as a waitress and Medows face was the last thing before it faded to black... I dunno what to believe or what to think of this fucking ending
