    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?

    yeah but its still the sopranos. if i'm laying around in bed watching tv, i'd rather watch an edited version of sopranos than 90% of the other garbage on television.

    Yeah the other night I saw the episode where they kill Pussy was on.

    When I first heard it was going to be on A&E, I thought it was really dumb because they would have to cut so much out but the show is so good that it still works even with the edits. Obviously not the ideal way to watch, but still good.

    I got Season 6 part 1 on DVD for Christmas!

    This guy puts to rest the argument about whether Tony died.

    RIP.

    I've been in the mood to watch the whole series again. I did it a few years ago when I was off on Fridays so I had time alone to watch it. Now I'm only off on the weekend and have "family time" so it's harder to carve out time. Last night I saw the season finale of the second season was on. What a great show! Probably my favorite show ever.

    I was really bummed to hear this. It made me happy to see him and I was looking forward to his new show. I feel so bad for his family and friends.

    unlike when a regular celebrity dies, this one felt like it hit close to home.

    Why on earth are state flags being flown at half mast for this guy? A great actor and person for all I know but shouldn't that type of tribute be for more important matters.

    I said the same thing, but it is for only one day and it is only NJ, not the whole country.

    NJ did the same for Whitney Houston. I suppose it's a trend.

    Hey. Hi. Wanna know if Tony died or not at the end of The Sopranos? Do you really? Because David Chase has apparently answered the question, and it’s tucked inside a lengthy piece at Vox about the man and his motivations and influences.

    Okay, let’s get to it: Is Tony dead or what?

    We were in a tiny coffee shop, when, in the middle of a low-key chat about a writing problem I was having, I popped the question. Chase startled me by turning toward me and saying with sudden, explosive anger, “Why are we talking about this?” I answered, “I’m just curious.” And then, for whatever reason, he told me. [...]

    He shook his head “no.” And he said simply, “No he isn’t.” That was all.

    There you go. Now you know. Not dead. And all it took was seven years of badgering David Chase about it until he finally exploded in a small coffee shop and gave in. Happy now?

    He also said the cut to black was based on the poem “Dream Within a Dream” by Edgar Allen Poe, which is about struggling to determine what is reality and what is fantasy. (“Is all that we see or seem / But a dream within a dream?”) So there’s that, too, if you feel like interpreting some poetry today.

    This has been fun and informative. Great job, everybody.

    wow. great ending. Makes so much sense now and justifies the hours I wasted watching the last 3-4 miserable seasons.

    who the hell is danger guerrero?

    i refuse to believe he was being serious or if the convo ever actually took place. tony died. the whole finale was one elaborate catholic funeral! i won't waiver on that until i actually see/hear chase say otherwise.


    ...the cut to black/poe shit is pretty fucking interesting though.

    otherwise
    “A journalist for Vox misconstrued what David Chase said in their interview. To simply quote David as saying, “Tony Soprano is not dead,” is inaccurate. There is a much larger context for that statement and as such, it is not true. As David Chase has said numerous times on the record, “Whether Tony Soprano is alive or dead is not the point.” To continue to search for this answer is fruitless. The final scene of The Sopranos raises a spiritual question that has no right or wrong answer.”
