Tony asked Bobby what he thought the end was like earlier. Bobby supposed everything just goes black. Tony was killed, then everything went black for him.
Really?
I think you nailed it.
“Tony asked Bobby what he thought the end was like earlier. Bobby supposed everything just goes black. Tony was killed, then everything went black for him.”
Exactly, it’s a recurring theme in the series. Remember what Sil said when Torciano got whacked at dinner.
Level 2: You don’t hear the shot that kills you, you don’t see it coming. Everyone had an idea of how the series would end, but in the end we literally didn’t hear the ending, nobody saw that coming.
Level 3: Tony knew he could never please his mother no matter what he did. Chase knew he could never please the viewers no matter what he did.
Brilliant.
Can you please tell me if it was it during this current season that Bobby said that “everything just goes black”? I think that is absolutely THE most important line, in regard to how it all ended...but I wonder why no one is talking about that statement. Maybe they didn’t catch the line? (I don’t have HBO so haven’t seen this season yet.)
My “take” is the same as some of the posters have written. I believe that someone shot Tony and, from his viewpoint everything suddenly cut to black, so that’s what the viewers saw. I think it was important that it didn’t fade -it happened abruptly.
Also, any input as to why that particular song was used?
