its the man going to the toilet which leaves you guessing, gives the impression he would be come out firing like in the godfather. , the 3 main characters where not killed off so i think they have left the door open for another series in the future

I hated it so much. SUCH A MASSIVE LET DOWN.

I was quiet traumatised after watching it. I mean come on, surely that wasn't it...?

It was a cop out Laz.

The last 3 or 4 episodes were superb (the penultimate episode especially), the series deserved a better finale not the veiled threat of a another series or God forbid a movie.

All good things come to an end.

I'm led to believe that it is being filmed from his point of view. ie he gets whacked and therefore being dead can't see anymore, hence black screen.

then a gunshot would have helped, or filming the whole sequence P.O.V.

I agree with teacake, the whole of the last series was very good and if they wanted to kill him, a sudden brutal execution, like everyone else gets would have been better.

the final series went to great lengths to remind us that Tony and his crew were no less unpleasant characters than the other crews, and that his family were basically accepting or even supportive of his 'career'. It felt like we were being setup to see Tony get what all bosses eventually get. Then at the last second, we were robbed.

It's like getting to the end of a library book to find the last page missing. However obvious the ending, you still want to read it for yourself.

I doubt you'd hear the gunshot...

as none of us have ever been shot in the face to confirm / deny that, a bit of artistic license might have been acceptable

This the general feeling on all the Soprano's fans forums.

Here is my favourite one.Bit of a read but compelling for Soprano's anoraks like me.

oh lets resurrect this argument.... hehe

Its allvery well mateyboy writing 10K words on what is in his effect just an opinion....

he cant prove a thing.

One thing I do know though - there arent a lot of hitmen out there who would sit and drink a cup of coffee, leaving fingerprints and also there being loads of people to identify him, and then perform the hit. That idea, is quite frankly, laughable.

The director has basically stated somewhere that Tony didnt get whacked, imo he wants to do a film in a few years to make $$$$$.

Endings to long series are never satisfactory to the fans. Too much hype and expectation is bound to make a finale anti-climaxing. I'm sure Lost will be the same, whatever they come up with. I remember the ending of Twin Peaks left people scratching their heads, but I loved it personally. I don't watch the Sopranos, so can't comment specifically, but I prefer it when the viewer is left hanging rather than have everything neatly packaged for them.

I heard the story on the radio six months ago that US fans were outraged by the non-ending and I thought it must be an over-reaction.

Honestly Snoops, you'd have to see it to understand how bad this ending is. For 10 seconds I thought my Sky+ box was broke. I was fuming.

i agree with most posts that it was a bad ending , so why did the script writer still not put tonys pov and let the viewer see him get whacked, only 1 reason i can think of thats the option of a new series or a film,

Twin peaks was a joke, all the way through you are convincing yourself it was him or her then changing your mind and in the end it wasn't even a character anybody knew!!!

  Ok it looks like i'am in the minority but i thought the ending was great,the way the tension was racked up i was truly on the edge of my seat.I'll go with my first impressions that tony didn't die(the lyrics of the song "going on and on and on").It's of course ambiguios but i think we can all agree the Sopranos is one of the best tv programmes ever made,it had it's highs and lows but overall it was compulsive veiwing.
colin.

Tony getting Wacked doesn't stop a film!. I personally would love a prequal to concentrating on Tony's dad.

My french ami Benjo gave me the boxset at the WSOP and I've been working my way through it since. I was enjoying every minute of this legendary series and then... the final episode. Ugh! Clumsy, pretentious, anti-climaxal, badly executed... Yuk.

I only saw it yesterday.

To be honest, I think the ending should have you asking, "Wow, does he get shot, or does he survive?" rather than "Was that it? Is the TV broke?" Poor execution in my book.

i think this would be really difficult because what we saw of Soprano Snr during the flashback sequences was that he was a complete psychopath with absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever. And obviously Ma Sopranos was a complete monster as well. It doesnt make for a good story..

A film isn't beyond the realms of possibility, but there really isn't much of a story that could improve on the series, so, what's the point except for money. A series could be done, I guess, but it would need to be a little different somehow to the previous six series - it just can't be more of the same. Personally, I would have liked the son to have been moulded as a replacement for Chrissy. For a moment in the last few episodes, I thought that was the way they were going and the way it would finish, especially when he had lost his direction and started hanging round with those other kids and seeing more and more violence. Thought he was gradually gonna get a hunger for it and see the mafia as his future.
