What happened there?
I never watched the Sopranos. I figured it was too late to start watching
and planned to watch it on DVD but figured it wouldn't hurt to see the last
episode. They met in the restaurant, were being watched by a guy at the
counter, the girl was having trouble parking and I figured Tony would get
whacked just as she was coming into the restaurant. Then the screen blanked
out and the next thing I knew they were rolling the credits. I just
upgraded to HD satellite a little while ago and some of the HD channels
blank out or lose audio for a few seconds. Did I miss something, or did
they leave it up in the air for the possibility of another series or a
movie?

I guess all the callers crashed HBO website because they were so
letdown over the ending. My take on it is that anyone can make up
their own ending.

I made up my ending: Patsy's son, who is Meadow's boyfriend, probably
told Meadow or she overheard a conversation that her boyfriend was
having, that they were going to wipe them out (and the guys who were
going to do it were the in the restaurant). She was coming to warn
them. I assumed they all got it!

But DH puts his own spin on it. That it was nothing, and life goes on
for them. IMO there were many episodes that were similar to this --
nothing happening.

In that case, I choose an ending similar to that from "Rocky Horror Picture
Show."

The guys in the restaurant are revealed as aliens from Uranus, as they're
wearing silver-and-black leotards and sporting gravity-defying hair. Tony is
shot with a disintegration beam, but it merely alters his clothes into a
black-sequined corset, garter belt, silk stockings, and lingerie. Carmela
reveals that she's been disguising her true nature with holograms, and she's
really a ten-foot-long scorpion. Together they sing "My True Face Faces
Your True Face," by turns rousing, vindictive, and tender.

Meadow and AJ rush in and break into a poignant "We Knew It All Along" duet,
as the restaurant detaches itself from the ground and rises into space with
a gentle "foop" sound.

Umm, why would she futz around for several minutes parking?

I didn't get the ending, either, and I've been watching that show since day
1. I thought they were all going to get hit, too, but my husband said,
based upon the song that was playing (and I can't remember which one now, of
course) he thought everything was going to go on as it always had. In any
case, for the BIG last episode, it basically sucked. What a let down for
such a fantastic show.

LOL.......I had the same thing happen. I watch TV through my DVR & at
the end I thought my "commercial advance" had burped so I rewound a
couple of minutes & the same thing kept happening so I set it record a
later showing so I could see what happened. I'll go turn the record
off now.

Likely done for purely financial reasons. They know that showing a true
last episode episode/conclusion will kill off reruns and DVDs.

I just saw what you were talking about a few minutes ago on a morning
show. Wow, that did end suddenly. I guess you can read all kinds of
things into it. For instance, that's their world in the mob, just hanging
out
with the family having ice cream, there could be people waiting to kill
you all. Or not.

Whatever. I've only seen a couple of episodes. Interesting show.

They almost didn't get to film that final episode in that place because
the mayor thought his title was king and he could kill it.

That was my take on it, too. But I'm still puzzled by the entire ending.
Everyone in the Soprano's family seemed happy, but the other customers in
the restaurant seemed seedy, wary and disturbing. Then...........blank.
WTF?

Same here. Then I discovered that the show went on to 10:05, not 10:00
as I had set it up, then I was really ticked at myself. I thought, oh,
well, I'll record it at midnight, but when I saw the credits rolling,
I knew I'd been had.

But were the other customers in there actually threatening? Or were we, the
viewers, just supposed to *think* they were, in light of the current
situation in Sopranoland? Kinda like we were viewing them through Tony's
paranoid POV.

One could also speculate that at the same moment Meadow entered the
restaurant, the seedy-looking guy who went into the restroom came out and
shot Tony in the back of the head (when the screen went blank).

Who knows how it really ended? Chase will keep us guessing for all
eternity... (I do not, for a second, believe there will be a movie. From
what I've read, Gandolfini is totally done with playing Tony.)

Interesting idea on the POV of Tony. I didn't think of that. Could you
imagine living paranoidily (if that's a word?) like that every day? It's
not worth it!

In any case, I've heard most of the cast are tired of the role and are
grateful it's over. I don't think there will be a movie, either. I think
this was it and it's up to us to decide how it ends. Kind of not fair, but
so-be-it. Of all the HBO series that I've watched so far, I think Six Feet
Under had the best ending. I cried. I honestly cried; happy and sad tears.
It was awesome.

kili

They are setting us up for the Movie. I happened to like the ending really.

I loved that series finale, too! Loved how Clare was driving off in her
Prius towards NYC, while they showed us glimpses of the future of how and
when each character dies. Brilliant.

I really enjoyed the Six Feet Under Series, but not as much as the
Sopranos, but the ending for SFU, was by FAR the best ending of any
program I have ever seen, it still stays with me, long after I saw it.
It was the most satisfying ending I have ever experienced.

It took me a while to get into Six Feet Under but I eventually got hooked
on it. That was a nice wrap up for the series. I never did watch more than
a few minutes of the Sopranos, just couldn't get into a weekly stereotyped
Italian mobsters. I figured I should watch the finale and see what happens.
AFAIAC Nothing happened, so it is not worth going back and watching it to
see how it happened.

Curious as to why you figured you should watch the the finale?

I felt the same way about Sopranos. Perhaps I had my back up about
it. I made a derogatory comment one day while looking at a boxed set,
and a guy with a "youse" accent suggested I buy it that I might like
it. I poo-pooed it for several years as I really don't care for that
sort of thing, But I evidently did because one day something on it
caught my eye while thumbing thru the stations. So we bought the sets
to catch up.

Another series I thought I might not like, and kinda do, is "Rome."
It is rather gratutious in the language and sex department, but ...

I definitely would not recommend across-the-board, as they say. I
believe it is a BBC production.

I liked it because it brought Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Anthony,
Octavius alive as persons, whereas all the older movies or older BBC
productions never did that for me; they seemed cardboard cutouts.

Well -------- it's sex, sex, sex, pretty explicit, some killings and
political intrigue. It can get gorey. And the language can be pretty
bad.
Some episodes are better than others, but there is one main character
and his 'man/servant/body guard.'

Dang, if I can watch Sex and the City, Sopranos, Carnivale', Oz, and Six
Feet Under, I think I can handle Rome. LOL. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Rome was a good one !! I really liked it, especially the women, they
were generally pretty rotten, was pretty disappointed that HBO
decided against a season 3, the reason being ( so I read ) that it
cost 100 milliion to make the first episodes, and was too much money.
Too bad for us.

Nope, raising hand. Never saw it, never was interested in it.

I never saw it. I don't like this kind of show, there is enough
violence around to frighten me in real life. (
