For those that think the ending was bad...

Just think of that last scene, with the family in a restaurant. This is Tony’s life and we all got to glimpse a little bit of what it must be like to be in his shoes.

Meadow is late, I wonder if she is going to make it here safely? His son is a loser, and even though he is bought off with the crappy job right now, that doesn’t mean he is ok in the head— will he kill himself?

Every person that enters the diner is suspicious and might be the one that is going to kill me. Is that guy going to kill me? How about the guy that went into the bathroom?

What a way to live that would be. And that is Tony’s entire life. Until he gets a bullet or goes to jail.

His life as a man in control is already over. And we got to feel that way in a small part during the last episode. What difference does it really make if Tony is dead in this episode or in Season 8? It is only a matter of time, and the time spent waiting is full of paranoid thoughts anyway...

Rob, watch those final minutes again. Remember that Tony Soprano was going after Middle Eastern terrorists during the series? Note that there was a nervous-looking man that looked Middle Eastern at the bar who later went into the restroom. The way the episode suddenly went to black indicates he was a terrorist and he exploded a powerful bomb inside the restroom, possibly killing everyone in the diner.

We should have suspected Chase would do something like this. Remember how the series was originally going to end last season? Just a shot of the back yard, nothing happening, life goes on. Oh, maybe a bear will attack.

Maybe we should refer to this as Chasing the bear. Just about as creative as "Happy Days" jumping the shark.

Cut to a black screen is about as original as the infamous "Dallas" dreamed season, where Bobby re-appears in the shower.

Maybe the whole series was a dream? Next thing you know, Tony wakes up from a dream. Can you say "Newhart?"

It’s true, why shouldn’t he get whacked? Why shouldn’t our anti-hero go down like the legions he’s dispatched. Why him? Why not him?

Still, Tony’s had a sixth sense about these things in the past, it would be surprising if someone could get the drop on him like that when he’s got his family to protect.
