Absolutely brilliant ending to a brilliant series. David Chase is a genius.
Everyone gets to decide in their own mind what happened next.
I like to think Tony and Carmella live to a ripe old age.
And he goes out on his own. Watching a flock of ducks flying over.
I thought it was brilliant,,life goes on,and on with the same threats, menace, sociopathy.
It went beyond drama, felt real. Loved it.
Great brilliant ending!
another Chase turn....Just flipping the paradigms!!
I agree, it was a great ending. You have to remember that the majority of the people have to “see” the ending. They can’t leave it up to their imagination.
You are dead on. Outstanding!
Hey SA76...did you also notice there was no music this week while the credits rolled?
Anything happen to Paulie?
I like it. Life goes on.
Chase left us with Tony facing indictment almost certainly, which will mean long jail time for him, if he survives. His life from here out will consist of continually watching his back everywhere he goes. He has lost his three most senior people, including his consigliere SIlvio, along with Bobby and Christopher. Paulie has made it obvious that he has no great aspirations to take on greater responsibility. Tony basically has no one close to him that he trusts in the mob anymore.
His family- Carmela, Meadow and A.J. are all he has that he loves in the world, and they are going to be taken away from him by jail or a bullet. Crime doesn’t pay.
