I just finished the series and i gotta say i thought the ending was good. If you remember tony and bobby on the boat, bobby say "you probally dont even hear it" referring to getting popped. A few episodes later tony thinks back to what he said. So thats why i think it just cuts out like that with no sound or idea what happened. Its because tony didnt either. Thought it was original. Awesome series.

Either on Crack or work for HBO? Well let me see, 1.Tony built up a massive person and made us all love or hate him, Too big just to see him clipped". 2.Some people say it was like the last supper to them with the family out on the meal. 3.The ending was perfect because they could bring him back any time they want or kill him make Silvio boss (If he wakes up) I also rate this 5/5 for a terrific Ending. And i think those who hate this episode dont understand the true meaning of the ending.

I think I get it. I know that it was one of those, you use you imagination. But there were a couple hints that really struck me. The guy in the diner that walks in and stares at tony, then goes to the bathroom as meadow rushes in. I got the feeling that he pops tony, and since the show is through his eyes that's why we don't see anything.

I found this on the web and thought it but the ending into good words so I thought I would let other people see it. I really liked the ending closure is for pussies. I liked the ending, alot. It was very smart. Like someone else said, were all used to the typical ending. He either gets shot, goes to jail, ends up in witness protection, he takes out NY mob and lives happily ever after? No. David Chase always comes up with a surprise no one expects. He recently said in an interview that "Some people will like it, some people won't. But if they could all go back and watch the show from the beginning, and then see the ending, they would get it." With that in mind, watch the last episode again. You will see that the characters really didn't change that much. You see Paulie going on with his superstitious crap Tony starts venting about his mother again to this new therapist, looking for pity, so he can justify his behavior. A.J is still a useless spoiled kid. Meadow is still "aspiring" to be something. Although I think in that last scene she was in a rush to tell the family she is pregnant. The last scene was designed to show that although life goes on for the Sopranos, it's over for us, the viewers. We've been watching this show through Tony's mind for the most part, and in the end, it goes black, and it's over. I think in the first episode of this season, when they take the trip upstate, Tony and Bobby are sitting in the boat, Bobby says "You don't see it when it comes...it just goes black." The only part I didn't like was regarding Silvio...does he stay in a coma indefinately or what? Someone also made the observation of the cat being Adriana, reincarnated...thought that was interesting.

I didn't really like it =(

great finale but the ending sucks
