I also didn’t like the ending at first, but now love it. The tension was so thick in those final moments that you could cut it with a knife.
I like the interpretation that the fade to black indicated the end of Tony Soprano, but then again it could mean anything. Brilliant!
I had my money on Meadow witnessing her family’s demise and stepping in somewhat like her grandmother.
I thought the cat might be Adrianne.
Great tv drama; sorry to see it go.
Go with your first feeling. That non-ending just sucked. "I'll end it by not ending it" what is that crap?
Since Chase made an effort to give his version of a morality play (Republicans = bad) in many of the episodes, I wonder why he didn't bother to show the criminal get his final punishment.
“The tension was so thick in those final moments that you could cut it with a knife.”
I thought it was just a mish-mash of scenes that served no point I did not like the ending as it was done at all. In fact I thought for a final episode of an award winning ground breaking drama it was very weak.
Way too much time was spent with AJ [who cares about his angst?] The cat made little sense except as a sort of comic relief, Silvio...poor Sil.
The episode reeked especially after last week’s pot boiler of classic Soprano’s.
Oh well. It was a damn good series and I am sorry to see it go.
