Even if you didn't hate it, I have no clue how anybody could have been happy with the episode. They didn't tie up anything. You can say the ambiguous ending at the dinner was cool, but as for the rest of the episode, no sort of closure was given on any plot points.

IMHO they have to make a movie or drop more episodes to restore any sort of appropriate ending.

Having to make a movie is a cop out. Years ago, Chase said he wouldnt do one. I guess money will talk. He also said that the story was a "classic tragedy". Happy ending fagginess.

Bleh.

I agree with the movie being a cop out too. Chase said that the Sopranos was gonna be about the downfall of an American mafia family which led me to believe that Tony would get merked or go to jail. Bullshit for neither to definitively happen.

ROFLBURGER. I knew people would be whining about this.

People are acting like Chase is the first person to end a film / series ambigously. Sopranos has never been about pat, run-of-the-mill conclusions. Maybe he should had Tony play the Godfather theme on the jukebox and Benny Blanco could have came in blasting with a silencer to appease you meathead faggots.

nah, i only woulda been pleased if "The Bridge" came on and Marley Marl came outta the bathroom with a sawed off shotty and merked the whole soprano fam while rapping with his "fucked up voice" about NY being on top.

faggot.

My favorite part about the ending was that it

You watched 6 Feet Under until the end and you've never seen a season of The Wire?

ROFLCOPTER!!! Tell me you didn't just make that up to fuck with me.

Why wasn't the ending good Phila.

He was trying to get his family back together after being marked for death and death was still looming around; by the bar, going to bathroom, the militia looking dude in the corner.

Stop whining cause it didn't have a cookie cutter ending...the Sopranos was such a good show because it took risks.

I won't go off on the ending like many others have. I get the reasons behind it, I just didn't prefer it end that way. And I didn't need bloodshed like you're suggesting, I just wanted a more of an answer. They spent a lot of unnecessary time with scenes when they could have given us more. I am happy that Tony had a final scene with June and the ending scene itself was cool, it was just the way it ended I'm a bit underwhelmed.

The Phil scene was weak and rushed IMO.

I watched 6 feet Under all the way through and never seen The Wire too...

So what?

(and 6 Feet Under had a GREAT ending to that series) One of the best ever for a show. He's making the point that SFU did have a great finale.

Icesickle · Post by **Icesickle** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 11:39 pm

Answer? Sopranos isn't Lost...we're not gonna find out who The Others are. What'd you want an answer to?

Fuck that take me off that list. I always thought the Sopranos was overrated and this season and episode have encapsulated everything i thought about it. Also, Chase blew a great story line that should have been running for the past few seasons with the FBI becoming occupied by 911 instead of org crime but he waits until 4 episodes left to even make mention of it.

Now for the ending it was a cop out it was not innovative like the defenders will try to say. If Chase wanted the ending to be life goes on, he should not have started a mob war and killed chris and touch on back stories but he did so he cant then expect the audiance to accept that bullshit ending. The abruptness of it all while introducing 2 or 3 major plot points is hackish.

Every season has pretty much ended with the message of "life goes on, people don't change."

Why would anyone expect the finale to be different? It's pretty much the only honest ending to any story.

ya.

the ending is really what you want it to be. if you think tony just got killed, then he did, for you. if you think they just set down to dinner and the screwy life of the sopranos goes on, it did. it's not high art or brilliant or anything, just one way to end a series that could never end in a way that would please even the majority.

As I read the first few responses in this thread I had a vision of Icesickle coming in and defending the ending just like we'd expect the cocksucking faggot we've all grown to hate to do... and he didn't let me down. Much props to the always dependably gay Icesickle.

The ending wasn't terribly surprising though. I pretty much sensed the strangeness throughout the entire episode, as I'm sure plenty of other people did.

Spot on.

Although I will say that the first season wrapped up in a satisfying way. It felt like a solid ending to a nice self-contained season.

This ending really lacked that. And all the tension they built up with the previous episode was really deflated. I thought they really fumbled in that sense.

Not a great episode, but the ending was fine by me.

Are you this stupid in real life?

They only had Paulie and Tony left. Who else should they kill? If Chase pandered to people like you Sopranos would've ended up being like The Donnely Brothers or whatever that gay, Paul Higgis produced show is called.

AND THIS SHOW HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT FOLLOWING THE CONVENTIONS OF MOB FLICKS. IT'S A STANDARD, BY-THE-NUMBERS MOB SHOW...THAT'S THIS SHOW'S M.O. THAT'S WHY IT'S GARNERED SO MUCH CRITICAL ACCLAIM...BECAUSE IT'S LIKE ALL THOSE OTHER MOB FILMS
