Sopranos ending
For years, fans have debated over whether or not the mobster was killed in the final scene of the hit show, which ends with a black screen after depicting Soprano and his family sitting in a restaurant. Many believe this was symbolic of his death — speculation that creator David Chase fuelled when he referred to it as a "death scene" during a 2020 interview — but until now fans have been left in the dark. Chase has finally put an end to the debate by confirming in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Tony Soprano did die at the end of the series. The revelation came when asked whether his mention of the final scene being a "death scene" was a slip of the tongue.
"No," Chase said. "Because the scene I had in my mind was not that scene. Nor did I think of cutting to black. I had a scene in which Tony comes back from a meeting in New York in his car. At the beginning of every show, he came from New York into New Jersey, and the last scene could be him coming from New Jersey back into New York for a meeting at which he was going to be killed."

I still need to watch this show. It's like a $100 bottle of cab I have sitting in the Yella cellar waiting for the right time and place.

I've tried twice and get bogged down. This time I'm bogged down in, I guess, season 6b. I fall asleep then don't feel like figuring out which episode I left off on so it takes me a while to come back to it. This has been going on for months now and started in season 5.YellowSnow said:I still need to watch this show.

I don't know what it is about The Sopranos but it hasn't set the hook in the me the way other shows have. I've watched a few episodes of Season 1 and always get sidetracked.chuck said:

Same. But I've heard that it's worth making it though the first season.YellowSnow said:

Wait the Sopranos is ending?
Staff!!! True?? -
I thought the cable went out when I watched it in real time way back when.

Shitty end to the show. Speaking of shitty endings, I’m looking forward to the new Dexter.

Good lord man. Go watch it. I still haven't watched all of season one because I didn't like it. But all other seasons are amazing.YellowSnow said:I still need to watch this show. It's like a $100 bottle of cab I have sitting in the Yella cellar waiting for the right time and place.

This is what I've been doing. As great as it is, there are parts that I personally am not interested in and wished they wouldn't have focused on so much.YellowSnow said:I still need to watch this show.

The actual mob epic is a bit...meh.
Last season: so you spend like 3 episodes getting all wishy washy about Tony nearly dying, just to have everything go to shit and kill him, but you don't have the balls to show him actually getting killed in front of his family? Wasn't that what you were trying to drive home? The brutal reality of succumbing to the mob no matter how high you get in the ranks?
I dunno, it's an up and down series but the best of all time probably are to some degree. It started getting stale for me around the end of season 4. -

great show
awful ending -
One of the best endings to any series. It's actually pretty brilliant, but you'd have to be a nerd to appreciate it.
Has to do with repetitive camera angles and POV.
Tony hears the bell on the door, looks up to see who walks in, then you get Tony's POV.
This happens over and over so we get trained to the pattern.
A theme throughout is how guys get whacked and they never see it coming, one minute you're alive, the next nothing and you're none the wiser.
The door opens one last time, Tony looks up, then you get his POV shot, which is black nothingness because he dead.
