Quote HistoryQuoted:
I was one of the people who was working and DVR'ed the finale, I about chucked my DVR out the damn window when the screen went blank. Much like Kid Rock, I went on a wild cursing spree when I found out the switch the black ending was not a DVR failure. As for the intended ending, I doubt care if James Gandolfini was still alive and making a movie, I would not pay to see it. PS fuck all the people involved in tv series lately who decided to have artist or shocking endings to series. I went crazy screaming at my wife. I just asked her if she remembered what happened when we were watching the finale yea you fucking screamed at me you asshole.

At least they didn't do a pussy fairytale ending like NYPD Blue.
Sipowicz should have hit the sauce again in a final scene. |

It doesn't really matter. If Tony died then it fulfilled the brilliant foreshadowing of the last season.
If he didn't die in the diner, he would likely get whacked anyway later, and would always be looking over his shoulder. The imminent doom of being a mob boss was the point of the entire show viewed from Tony's rather frail psyche. Tony was a failed boss and NOTHING was going to change that. He was his own worst enemy. |

I never watched the series, but this article makes a convincing case that he is dead. Sounds like bullshit retconning to me, similar to Rowlings "Oh yeah, Dumbledore was totally gay" bullshit. http://masterofsopranos.wordpress.com/the-sopranos-definitive-explanation-of-the-end/ The blog does a very good job of explaining the (largely unconscious) logic underpinning point-of-view/point-of-narration using descriptions of the shots and what each shot accomplishes. Great analysis of exactly WHY even a casual viewer senses foreshadowing/foreboding. Looking over that blog, I totally mis-recollected the clothing worn by the shooter. |

Holy shit. I've never watched a single episode of the Sopranos. Just out of curiosity I went and watched the final scene on youtube. Last 5 minutes or so.
That ending pissed me the fuck off and I've got no time invested in watching the show. It cuts to black right as that female (I'm assuming Tony's daughter) opens the door? I thought the video cut out for a second. 
I will say the only thing that makes sense in that situation is something "big" happened right after it cut to black. The only thing that I can think of would be that dude coming out of the bathroom whacking Tony. The bathroom was at a perfect 90 degree angle to where he was sitting and his attention was drawn to the door. He would have never seen someone coming out of the bathroom with a weapon. |

Another series where the writers didn't know how to end it Just the opposite. That it's still talked about shows they are among the few writers to get it right. |

Never watched the show, but if you read the article I posted it seems pretty clear that's what happened. |
