the whole last episode served as a catholic funeral for him.
To the rest of you....stugats! arivedici!
i am a huge sopranos fan and i think he's dead. that's what is so great about the ambiguous ending. there are so many theories about what happened...
For some reason I read this as "The ending of The Simpsons" and thought "Tony" was Fat Tony.

Well that's fucking ambiguous. Does that mean that we ALL have the wrong idea about what happened? You know... cause they were on earth the whole time in "Apes" so he was confused about the WHOLE THING...
Is Chase saying that we're all confused about the entire project? That would mean the "he died" camp AND the "he lives" camp are both wrong... so he's in purgatory? Nooooooooo not another freaking "Lost" theme...
Dammit I want answers!
I wanted to at least see Meadow's boobies before the series ended

Oh man do I miss Meadow...

Also, The Wire was a much better show that the Sopranos. Check it out on Netflix if you didn't see it
Shit, this article is really good. I'm sold now.
What is that, a master's thesis? :think:
I agree with this. I think the last scene was showing us how a mob boss is living every moment in a stessful, paranoid state. Always surveying the scene, trying to have eyes in the back of his head.
And the Journey song says "it goes on and on and on and on".
I'll have to read that article posted in this thread, but dont have time right now.
It's in time with Meadow running to the door.
But then again there was a creepy looking dude sitting at the front counter looking at Tony.
Could he have pulled a gun at the same time?
If someone did kill him, who?
Phil Leotardo is dead, his crew is decimated and turned on him.
Who would be behind it?
I wish Meadow did do a nude scene and that AJ was successful in his suicide attempt.
Shame that Bobby died.
it is a great read. i remember purusing it a few years ago after the finale aired. there is another article that goes to great lenghts to point out all the evidence that chase made entire episode into a catholic funeral for tony. i cant remember much of it now. if i find it, i'll post it.
he's dead!
The show sucked after the 2nd season and the only reason I watched it was to see how it ended. A blank screen told me one thing for sure, Chase is a copout. If he lives, end the series with him smoking a cigar with a satisfied look on his face.... if he dies, a blank screen with a gunshot would be fine. The way it ended was just stupid, as was the majority of the series.
incorrect.
Basically:
The last scene sets up a pattern: Tony looks up, we see his point of view, tony looks down. When he looks up and the point of view is black, he's dead. The guy in the Members Only jacket is clearly watching Tony but Tony stops watching him.
Several times that season the guys discussed how "you never hear it coming".
Meadow's trouble parking leaves Tony's side clear for a shot from the bathroom. Most everyone who got shot late in the series gets it from a "blind side" or in the back of the head.
I don;t know if I buy all the stuff about taking communion or tying back to the scenes from Tony's coma but it might be so.
That is sort of what I thought. The black screen is just our view into Tony's life ending, like in those pay binoculars where they just suddenly go to black when your time is up. And like the above poster and Journey says, the movie never ends it goes on....
Although part of me does think it was a copout on Chase's part. Like if he ever needs money, he can easily write a Soprano's movie and just say that Tony didn't get killed.
I was an arms length away from her at the MSGII show
She was walking out after the show..very petite

Bottom line......there is no definitive evidence that Tony died. I think Chase copped out. Whether he showed Tony dying or not, he was sure to piss off a whole bunch of people. I think he played it safe and didn't discriminate. He just pissed everyone off.
