Sopranos - Worst ending to a Series Ever!!!!

There is no body

[yield 2 the right]

So in short this series finale was ruined “The Sopranos” for good, and if one has not yet seen the last few season or the show at all, they should avoid it at all costs as not to be letdown by this episode....

[F.J. Mitchell]

At least this mob promotional ad campaign “has” ended.

[DarthVader]

Be ready for a movie.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Yup.

[wimpycat]

Interesting thought. You might be right. But I think the whole idea is to keep us all guessing and leave the door open for sequels.

[newbie 10-21-00]

Yeah, Meadow was thru the door. It rang when she came in and the legacy of The Sopranos, and the screen, turned black

[vortigern]

Here's to Tony and Paulie!

[elhombrelibre]

Well, the air did feel tense, right? And yet the ending was indicative of how they live. That is, their lives are full of jejune activity while waiting for possible sudden violence.

[joebuck]

I think Chase was trying to say something when he focused on Meadow repeatedly trying to parallel park the car and finally getting it right. Especially when compared with how AJ handled his car earlier in the show. I think he’s telling us something about how they’ll end up.

[jern]

I agree, it was a great ending. You have to remember that the majority of the people have to “see” the ending. They can’t leave it up to their imagination.

[nutmeg]

seven years and 80 some episodes invested then this crap

Yep. "Make up your own ending of The Sopranos". Yeah, really brilliant, Chase...

[Bush gal in LA]

I don’t know the name but someone wrote me it was Steve Perry singing. It starts out......’’She’s just a small town girl. living in a’’ ........someone here will know.......

[Hurricane Andrew]

No, think about it. Tony lives the rest of his life, always looking over his shoulder, wondering where the hit was coming from, who would it be? Total paranoia, just as many of us were watching the guy in the baseball cap, the guy going to the bathroom, the two black men coming in.

Perfectly appropriate, in retrospect.

[newbie 10-21-00]

Didn’t Gilligan let The Skipper live on that episode so he could marry his Big Buddy?

[Moonman62]

Newhart.

The exception that proves the rule. Some mentioned "Six Feet Under," but I have no idea what that is.

[Slump Tester]

Am I the only one who thought Tony was gonna snuff Sil when he went to see him in the hospital?

[gov_bean_ counter]

They can’t leave it up to their imagination.

An old school "Hitchcock" twist.

[Bronzewound]

You are dead on. Outstanding!

[BipolarBob]

At least this mob promotional ad campaign “has” ended.

Well I wanted to see how it ended before I made up my mind. I get to thinking, yeah it's be cool to be a made guy and then they show some of the bad stuff and I say no way. So it's really important because it's an important decision.

[spectre]

OK..If anyone wanted to read this thread before seeing the show, it's their own fault!

Great summation..
