Very good tonight but still love the office and entourage much better though.

I thought that episode was great, the Vegas trip was awesome........

[Bobby Bacala]

The vegas trip was pretty good but when did Tony start doing drugs?

So far this season, Tony has turned into a degenerate gambler & a recreational drug user.

You're missing the symbolism. He killed chris b/c of drugs and women (aide, julianna), then goes out to vegas and acts just like chris...fucks his girl and takes drugs.

[JTGAMBLE]

I have a feeling Carmella is going to wack Tony

[Hitdogg42]

I hope Tony dies, fuck him......

This week, Phil turns down Tony's offer of compromise and A.J. despairs about the world and his future. Meanwhile, Tony takes offense over an affront to Meadow in Episode 84: "The Second Coming."

Nice curbing action in this week's episode. Other than that, it blew.

That was the best part of the show.

Tony is definelty in trouble with the NY crew & he will have to take out Leotardo or Leotardo will take Tony out. I think Tony gets to Phil, wipes out the crew and Carmine Luppertazzi will become the NY boss.

[allcaughtup]

just caught the latest episode on demand, excellent, i think aj will be the one killing tony at the end of the season, i do know this the war between the two families has now begun

[royboy]

I guess making it bigtime in the Soprano family has it's downside... RIP

[Bobby Bacala]

RIP Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri.

Yeah, I can't believe they considered Bacala #3 in the family! I agreed with that guy who was at the table - "Bobby Baccalieri is number 3?!"

Wish they could have killed off Janice instead.

[Bobby Bacala]

I think after next week the only guy left will be Tony. By leaving Tony alive and killing off all those close to him, David Chase closes the door on anybody who would have tried to make a spin off of the show.

[dirty]

You knew Bobby was going to die... He left the gun at the scene when Tony sent him to Kill that guy in the Mountains.... You can't leave evidence at the scene and live to tell about it in the MOB

[BGS 9.5]

Was a bit surprised when Paulies name came up on the hit list, NY said no, just management - I thought for sure he would go. But we do have 1 more week....

Soprano ending clarified:

If you didn't watch yet, don't read this first... watch the episode and then see if you have figured this out...

the ending was genius if you've paid attention to the show or are just a fan of well developed well thought out plots that all tie together and have the memory of a champ to remember it all

the ending was simple, he got killed, but let me tell yall why and explain in detail... There were 3 people in the room total who had a reason to kill tony.....

The trucker was the brother of the guy who was robbed by
Christopher in Season 2. Remember the DVD players? The trucker had to identify the body.

the two black guys, they were paid before to kill tony but he was only shot in the ear

the guy who was sitting at the bar stool, who the camera kept focusing in on, is Nikki Leotardo, Phil Leotardo's nephew, he was in one of the early season episodes where Phil and Tony have a sit down....

heres where the genius comes in....

When Tony's walking in the diner, you see the camera focus on him, then it switches to his perspective, and you see him looking @ the booth hes gonna sit at...

then the camera switches back to tonys face, then it once again switches to his perspective, and it shows him looking @ the door and looking @ the people come in..... Everytime the door opens the Chimes sound....... Carmela walks in, Chimes, AJ walks in Chimes, this when Meadows parallel parking, still trying to
get inside the restaurant....

at this point the camera switches back to the trucker who goes in the bathroom......

Then it goes to a scene where meadow finally parks and starts running in the diner....

the doors about to open, Tony looks up....

and No Chimes......................

No Music............

Everything just goes black...............

In one of the early episodes of the sopranos, tonys talking with bobby about what it must feel like to die..

Bobby says "at the end, you probably dont hear anything, everything just goes black"


part of that was revisited in the second to last episode during the last seconds of it, when tonys about to go to sleep and he flashes back to the memory of him and bobby on the boat... "You probably dont hear anything everything just goes black"


so in the end, the Journey song was playing, the chimes on the door sounded but when meadow came in, the guy in the trucker hat came out and killed tony...

its the reason you don't hear, or see anything when he died.... it was from his perspective.... and everything went black, then the credits rolled.

Interesting - I would not have thought of it that way. Definitely seems possible and I'm sure we'll hear more about it eventually.

That's a nice explanation, Bobby but most viewers are either too obtuse or lazy to analyze it in depth. The vast majority of viewers were very upset by the Series Finale and feel jipped. I certainly do. I think David Chase knew that most viewers weren't going to be happy with the ending but he decided to go his own way and I respect his choice as an artist to do that. After 85 episodes how the hell are we supposed to remember every marginal character that has passed throughout the show? Did you figure this out yourself or was this something you read?

The only guy I didn't recognize was the trucker. The explanation that I posted was a copy of an email that I rec'd from a friend of mine.....I can't take credit for that.

As far as the ending, by ending it that way, Chase leaves open other possibilties in the future (movie, new show, etc) because the only thing anybody can do is speculate about the ending.....maybe the screen went black to indicate the end of the life of the show and not the end of Tony's life.
