What An Ending!

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere

I'm furious, my TV went black for a few seconds at the very end of the episode. I missed the ending, it came back just in time for the credits.

Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

During that last scene when everyone is meeting at the diner, my heart was beating so damn fast. I don't know if I was nervous that someone was going to get killed or because Meadow was having trouble parallel parking. I hate parallel parking.

I think a lot of people correctly predicted that Agent Harris would help Tony find Phil, but other than me, I can't remember anyone who so accurately (and so correctly) predicted that the series would end with the four Sopranos eating dinner.



For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Phil's death was an awesome scene. I wish they would have shown his head smushing like in Braveheart.

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night

I was pissed at AJ for being so irresponsible with his yellow Xterra. A yellow Xterra should be cherished. It's not for banging underage high school girls. Very disappointed in AJ.

But why am I bothering with this? All anyone wants to talk about is the ending right? I realize people are upset and think it sucked, but I actually liked it. I think it was a little bit of a "fuck you" from David Chase to the people who are constantly guessing, and trying to figure out the show. But I thought it was nice that there was no ending, just the family together, remembering the good times, like AJ said.

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time

Sopranos fans are going to drive themselves crazy trying to figure out how it ended. Did Tony flip and they were in or about to enter the witness protection program and that's why they were meeting a diner? A diner? Or did Tony get whacked and that's why the music stopped? There is no answer. There is no ending. As often happens with this show they drop a bunch of hints and never do anything with them. So if you are going to sit and try to construct the pieces of the episode to figure out what happened you're missing the point. And you are going to drive yourself crazy, because it's an unanswerable question.

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

I thank the Sopranos for giving me 8 great years of enjoyable television. I don't think the fact that there was no ending means the show is coming back at some point, or that there will be a Sopranos movie. The ending shows that life goes on for the Sopranos, even if we don't get to see it.

Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
