Many are saying now that Tony got killed (shot in the head from the guy in the bathroom) and the last thing he heard and seen was exactly what we did. Fade to black. Interesting possibility.

Sopranos ending
- Thread starter ArleighBurke

that would take a lot of imagination there......the guy was still in the bathroom.....you could imagine anything...maybe that's the point....the wimp writer couldn't come up with an ending "big" enough that wouldn't disappoint someone so he leaves it up to the audience's imagination....little bit of a cop out IMHO....I mean he could have Meadow look startled or screaming or something as she approached the table for God's sake :x
Holy sh!t, if the black screen meant that Tony got shot, then I totally didn't get it.
In that diner nothing really happened. Despite of that the ending was very intense. Some food for the thought, eh?

Lights out for Tony Soprano
Exactly!
It's definitive and it's over. This was the only elegant resolution for such a long story.
Testifying would have been lame and anticlimatic
Indictment would have been ridiculous- TS wouldn't go out like that.
There had to be retribution for Phil.
No tidy endings, everything ends with Tony's consciousness, enjoying his family and good food in the last moments-- what defined the "good times" throughout the series.

Who knows. I still think it leaves open possibility of a huge pay day in the form of the big screen.
BTW that last scene was filmed in an ice cream shop (Holstens) 5 mins from my brothers house.
Big stink over that whole thing. Another story altogether.

I had myself fairly convinced that TS and family get popped but I think that's too obvious.
I'm now thinking they don't get popped, instead the Feds stage it to look like they get popped and then they move somewhere else into witness protection. Screen blacks just at the moment of Tony's staged murder.

Interesting thoughts but I think they should've finished it. If Tony was clipped why not show it?
Disappointed but I'd love to see a movie.
But hey like Paulie says, "What are you gonna do?" 8)

I believe the ending was meant to be like the one where the show "fizzled out into static" I do not remember what show it was that did that in their season finale, but then they showed a video of people coming up to their TV sets and shaking them, checking cables, changing channels, etc...
Hopefully this was a preview for a movie, if not, there are going to be a lot of super angry people.
Ohh yea, women can't park to save their lives. :lol:

well, remember when him and Bobby are talking about it, and it's mentioned that you prolly don't even seen or hear it coming......
That is a good theory. I think the ending was very creative because it left it open.
The ending was meant to sum up what the show is about. It is not about mafia or crime or people getting whacked. The Sopranos is about family. At the end of the day you reflect on life and sit down with your family to eat dinner. That's what the show is all aobut.
Did anyone else think that the Cat was a bizzare symbolic addition to the last episode - Could it be that he smelled a Rat??? (Staring at Christopher's photo and then showing up at the scene outside the butchers with Paulie). Who was working with the Feds? Who was working with the other Family?
Re: Lights out for Tony Soprano
Exactly!
The show has NEVER tied up loose endings and I was glad to see they did not stray from what made it a hit....there is WAY too much money to be made from killing off Tony or too many of the main characters.
Good news for all Soprano's fans - there will undoutebly be something in the works, be it a movie or a mini-series down the road.
the 'pending' plot lines are endless...
What happens to Tony w the indictment?
Meadow's law career - does she work on T's case?
Does AJ go the way of Christopher w the night club stuff?
Does Carmella continue to keep her head in the sand while Tony goes about his 'business'?
Does Paulie get whacked heading the new crew or does the cat get him?!?
Stay tuned for the next instalment of the Soprano's...

The ending was a stroke of genius. No trite hollywood wrap-up here. Tony is left with a lot of threats hanging over his head; being wacked, indictments, a snitch in his crew, or worse, the threat of no happy ending to his life (witness the sad ending of Uncle Junior with dementia) and the same old bullshit until the end. But here he is surrounded by his family, everyone basically the same as they have always been and he picks one of the songs (By Journey) that has been used many times before in the series and just as Journeys' Steve Perry says "Dont Stop...." it all stops. If you are irritated, annoyed, frustrated or pissed off, you have just played into David Chases hands.....!

here is another thought...sounds plausible:
The first episode this season Tony and Bobby B are sitting in a boat. They have a conversation about getting whacked and Bobby says "I bet you don't even hear it coming, it just all goes black" (or something to that extent). Then in last week's episode they revisit that conversation. His family is coming in one by one, first Carmela, he loves her, but has hurt her, so she sits first, AJ, he is blood, he is his only son, but they have had their troubles, he sits second. Then there is Meadow, his princess, he loves her, they had their troubles, but she is the best person out of all 4, so she has the honor of being the last family member seen by him.
Final scene of her coming through the door is being viewed as if we were Tony Soprano, the last thing he sees is the greatest thing he ever put into the world. Then, no sound, blackness, not even music through the credits. Tony got whacked as Meadow came through the door. There is no way to cinematically do Tony's death justice. He was bigger than life for us through the whole show and the writers could not show him killed, there was no way to do it right.
