    Ending of Sopranos solved? This guys post is getting serious press, its starts several paragraphs down where the page break is (indicated by the 3 dots):

    First line is:

    "OK, here's 3000 words about five minutes of TV. I must have no life whatsoever. But I had a day off, and I do like a good puzzle."

    'Sopranos' creator defends famous finale

    By FRAZIER MOORE, AP Television Writer2 hours, 3 minutes ago

    Just when we had made our peace with "The Sopranos" finale and moved on with our lives, David Chase has stirred things up again.

    Breaking his silence months after the HBO mob drama ended its run, he is offering a belated explanation for that blackout at the restaurant. He strongly suggests that, no, Tony Soprano didn't get whacked moments later as he munched onion rings with his family at Holsten's. And mostly Chase wonders why so many viewers got so worked up over the series' non-finish.

    "There WAS a war going on that week, and attempted terror attacks in London," says Chase. "But these people were talking about onion rings."

    The interview, included in "`The Sopranos': The Complete Book," published this week, finds Chase exasperated by viewers who were upset that Tony didn't meet explicit doom.

    Chase says the New Jersey mob boss "had been people's alter ego. They had gleefully watched him rob, kill, pillage, lie and cheat. They had cheered him on. And then, all of a sudden, they wanted to see him punished for all that. They wanted 'justice'...

    "The pathetic thing — to me — was how much they wanted HIS blood, after cheering him on for eight years."

    In the days, and even weeks, after the finale aired June 10, "Sopranos" wonks combed that episode for buried clues, concocting wild theories. (Was this some sort of "Last Supper" reimagined with Tony, wife Carmela, son A.J. and daughter Meadow?)

    Chase insists that what you saw (and didn't see) is what you get.

    "There are no esoteric clues in there. No `Da Vinci Code,'" he declares.

    He says it's "just great" if fans tried to find a deeper meaning, but "most of them, most of us, should have done this kind of thing in high school English class and didn't."

    He defends the bleak, seemingly inconclusive ending as appropriate — and even a little hopeful.

    A.J. will "probably be a low-level movie producer. But he's not going to be a killer like his father, is he? Meadow may not become a pediatrician or even a lawyer ... but she'll learn to operate in the world in ways that Carmela never did.

    "It's not ideal. It's not what the parents dreamed of. But it's better than it was," Chase says.

    And as for that notorious blackout in the middle of the Journey power ballad, "Don't Stop Believin'"?

    "Originally, I didn't want any credits at all," says Chase. "I just wanted the black screen to go the length of the credits — all the way to the HBO `whoosh' sound. But the Directors Guild wouldn't give us a waiver."

    And while this unexpected finish left lots of viewers thinking their cable service was on the fritz, Chase insists it wasn't meant as a prank.

    "Why would we want to do that?" he asks. "Why would we entertain people for eight years only to give them the finger?"

    "Second Coming", I think the third to last episodes was one of the best of the series.

    You ever watch Six Feet Under? I never thought a show could top Sopranos, but this one does, or at least comes close. The first couple seasons are incredible. Completely different type of show, of course, but it has that same HBO quality to it. Amazing stuff.

    A few months ago, I put on an episode on demand from season 4. Since then I have been watching the whole series. I watch the ones that are on demand and then I have been going back to the seasons I have on DVD. So far I've watched seasons 1, 3, 4, 5. I still think this is the best show ever on television.

    i refuse to watch the reruns on A and E. I have a major problem with television that is edited, same with movies on tv. Unless they are showing the unedited versions of the episodes, why bother? Not not just watch the dvd's?
