The ending of the supranos was WAY too subtle for people to get it.
Tony Soprano had talked once about how when you get hit there is just a blackness that comes over you... you don’t see it coming or hear it.
So... when the blackness overcame him and it just ..ended... no one got it.
If there would have been some reaction from one of his family members THEN the sudden blackness, it would not have been so subtle
But this ending was awesome!! I kept waiting to be disappointed, but I wasn’t. Especially with Walt just dying the way he did rather than have some dramatic death. I was expecting the meth tanks to blow up.
There was a little suspension of disbelief that you had to do, but otherwise it was great.
For example- how did Walt manipulate Todd’s uncle into bringing Jesse up there... that was a little weak.
He could have blown the whole thing if they just shot him instead of let him get his keys back. I guess that added to the suspense but it was iffy for a while there, if things had not gone exactly by Walt’s plan.
I didn’t feel like I had to suspend disbelief. Jack worked on a handshake. He had no problem murdering people, or taking money for it, but don’t call him a liar, or a cheat.
The entire ending was an exercise in making all of the warped moralities of all the characters somewhat orthogonal.
Even the final phone call to Lydia, done outside where Jesse could here it, so he could know that nobody would be coming after him.
Jesse was completely free, IF HE CHOSE TO REMAIN SO. This may have explained the woodworking sequence. Jesse had no idea how smart and talented he was, or how resilient he could be. He could have crafted tongue in groove woodcrafts, but instead he’s the world’s finest meth cook.
It will be interesting to see if there is a spinoff.
Things were always going to go by Heisenberg’s plan.
That is just the way of things ^^
As far as the Sopranos goes, I find that I really did not enjoy much of anything past season 2.
Season 3 was okay, but the last two just angered me, and the ending angered me too.
It just was not reaching me any more I think.
