David Chase whacked the audience. We never saw it coming- our time as observers is done. Their life is going on, whether that means behind jail or with some of them dead. We’re done. No neat closure for us.

No neat closure for us.

Chase once said that about the show when asked if some issues might be resolved from a previous season. [such as] Would Dr. Melfi's rapist get his, or the "interior decorator that killed 17 Czechoslovakians" what happened to him? Chase said, not everything in life gets resolved and sometimes we just don't know how things turnout.

Artistically, I think you've hit it. Another thing... Chase said a long time ago that he's known how the series would end right from the beginning.
