 ‘Dont Stop ’ —David Chases Maddening ‘Sopranos’ FinalePosted on Jun 11, 2007
By Sheerly Avni After 86 episodes, six seasons, one devastating terrorist attack, two presidential elections, two wars, and eight years, “Sopranos” creator David Chase chose to end on what many irate fans are already calling the ultimate fuck you—ending the series mid-thought, or rather in a mid- ‘80s musical phrase: the chorus of the Journey ballad “Don’t Stop Believing.” It’s an ironic choice, especially since if there’s one thing that the millions of “Sopranos” fans have believed in, it’s that we’d get some answers on Sunday. No wonder outraged viewers crashed the HBO site last night. Shortchanged doesn’t even begin to cut it. The events of the last scene do not in and of themselves evoke great drama, since Tony has safely dispatched his most imminent threat, Phil Leotardo—with a bullet to the head and a quasi-comical skull-crush. Now the surviving North Jersey capos are out of hiding, Junior’s sitting on mystery money, and Tony faces another federal investigation. In other words, business as usual in “Soprano’s” country—bad, but not catastrophic. The setting is a family diner, where Tony, Carmela and A.J. are making unusually peaceable small talk, while outside Meadow tries unsuccessfully to parallel-park her car. But because this scene ends the series, it’s fraught with meaning and dread, and Chase plays us for all we’ve got. We see each customer, through Tony’s eyes, as a potential threat: A woman rushes through the front door, looking for a moment like a crazed Janice; the man at the counter, almost too casual in his Members Only jacket, who seems to size up the family before he heads back to the john; two black guys checking out the jukebox. Even Meadow’s losing battle with her steering wheel seems like a portent. But whether Chase means these to be Tony’s last moments, or simply an uneasy idyll, we’ll never know, because the camera cuts to black just as Tony looks up. Advertisement It’s as if the jukebox has skipped on the fans’ unheeded plea. Don’t Stop! Tell us if those two black guys are hit men! Tell us if Members Only just went to pick up a gun, Corleone-style, from behind a toilet! Tell us if the feds are circling outside! Or at least, tell us: Does Meadow get a ticket for double-parking? But Chase stopped short. He stopped without telling us if our dread was justified, without telling us whether this was just another day in Tony’s life or the last day in Tony’s life. He carried out on his oft-repeated threat to leave the plot unresolved, just like life. Or did he? In every other way but the simple question of how Tony would go down, Chase and his team have satisfied most of our thematic questions. Existentially, at least, we know exactly where all the principle characters are heading, and that’s nowhere good. A.J., having tried on the mantle of tragic hero and found it wanting, has glided back into loserville, blowing up the family car, messing around with a high school girl, letting Pops bail him out, even misquoting the very poet who drove him to an attempted suicide (“Haven’t you heard of Yeets?” he lectures his table at Bobby’s funeral). And Meadow, the Columbia grad and one-time candidate for Most Likely to Succeed Tony in the office betting pool, has fallen for the son of one of her dad’s cronies, an up-and-coming mob lawyer. She’s given up on med school and now seems comfortable back in the corrupt family fold. For all Tony’s bluster and Carm’s scheming, the kids are schlubs, as morally bankrupt and narrow as their parents ever were. As for the rest of Tony’s crew—Silvio’s fate hangs in the balance, but it looks as though he was loyal to the end. Paulie, as furtive and superstitious as ever, is still sun-tanning outside Satriale’s. Janice is still a bitch—Livia’s closest spiritual heir. And the others, Christopher, Adrianna, Big Pussy, they’re still dead.* Tony, well, we all know he’s doomed—and not just because of those conversations with Bobby about how when the end hits it will just be silence. We’ve always known it—from the day he first lurched into Dr. Melfi’s office in 1999, lying about murders and crying over ducks we’ve known. The whole show, much like the past decade in American history, has been a long slide deeper into amorality and bloodshed. And perhaps, like the next terror strike, it’s not a question of if, but when. Chase doesn’t need to tell us where Tony’s headed, because we already know. In the meantime, Tony has what we all have, a life riddled with loss, a messed-up family that still makes it to dinner, and the song playing on the jukebox. Don’t stop, said Chase, and perhaps we should listen. Perhaps, instead of considering ourselves shortchanged, we should consider ourselves blessed. Like Tony, we don’t know when the bullet is coming, and the not knowing may be the closest we ever get to grace.

First decided to watch the show all together in the last few months. Here’s an idea that different. It doesn’t matter who killed Tony the question is you ordered the kill!!! So this leads to two questions: One: who would benefit and two: who knew where they where going to to be?
OK Paulie may benefit from Tony’s death but Paulie was so uninterested in the Bing and also and Tony’s back in the end I don’t think it was him, Patsy wouldn’t have the power to become the boss. The other families would have benefited but they had just agreed for Tony to hit their boss so the timing wouldn’t have been right for any of them. I started thinking about how the ending happened pretty much right when Meadow would have entered, completing his direct family. So who is left? Janice his sister, the one looking for money at all turns who now has no way to get it because Bobby is dead, and she can’t get it from Junior, and wouldn’t have known that Tony came up with a number for her, prolly not big enough number for her anyway. Not only that it wouldn’t have been impossible for Carmella to have told Janice that the family was eating there so she may have known where. (AJ’s girlfriend also did know but she not connected in anyway I believe, so no motive) So Janice could have had the motive and opportunity to not only kill Tony but the rest of the family!!!! Janice has been known to kill her husband, also her ex-husband (the one she killed) was the one that originally gave Tony the member’s only jacket seen in the last scene. Not only that if you remember it had always been one of Tony’s family member that has tried to whack Tony. His mother and Junior. So it makes since in the series of trying to kill Tony. She was the small town girl living in a lonely world
Taking the midnight train going anywhere
SO there is on more theory Janice was behind it, not herself she wouldn’t have been able to get any of the money that way.

Catch up! You (or someone) has been posting this missive all over the internet and it is woefully out of date and utterly incorrect. Believe Tony got whacked if you want to. I choose to belief that it was us (the audience) that got whacked. You never see it coming! As for the black guys…WRONG! Those guys (at least one of them for sure) are dead. Phil’s nephew ...WRONG! Even David Chase said that neither the trucker or the fellow in the Members Only jacket had ever before been on the show, but he got a good chuckle out of the idea.
YOU got whacked, my friend. Carmela, AJ and Meadow are once again comfortably numb and Tony goes on and on and on and on, albeit watching every door and expecting it to come from any direction, anytime…

I felt miffed about the whole “did my cable go out” scam, but my brother sent me this. (Sorry no credit to the original author of this missive):
Tony was killed….
in fact, 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 was 3 people in the room total who had a reason to kill tony…..
the two black guys, they were paid before to kill tony but he was only shot in the ear, this was in one of the earlier seasons,
also in the earlier seasons, the trucker who was sitting at the bar stool, who the camera kept focusing in on, is Nikki leotardo, Phil Leotardos 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 tonys 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 aint hear, or see shit when he died…. it was from his perspective…. and everything went black, then the credits rolled.

Closure. We didn’t need to know what happened to Tony - we knew that whatever path he took it would been bad. Jail. Getting whacked. Dying slowly in a mental institution. There is no redemption for Tony. The show ended as it should have ended. Bravo David Chase.

The cut to black also highlights the fact that as the show stops, so do the characters as they only exist in the show. It stops, they cease to exist. It was a windowof life given by their creator (Chase) and the time had come for it to be taken away.

I absolutely loved this last episode. Chase kept me on the edge of my seat for an hour. When the show was over my hands were shaking and my head was spinning. He evoked a gutteral response and I think that is what he was always doing with this show. Pure entertainment and escapism. I’m still grinning about it two days later.

Instead of a black screen to end the Sopranos I would have like to see the infamous mob bosses discuss global poverty, a huge issue. The United States agreed to support the UNs Millennium Development Goals, a plan to end global poverty by 2015, however according to the Borgen Project the funding to support the end of malnutrition and starvation is under funded by $19 billion annually. People need to be made aware of this issue and something needs to change.

This was closure. Or as close to closure as we had any right ot expect, without ending on a Hollywood-style hyperbolic “thud”.
What did everyone want to have happen to Tony? See him shot? He’s been there and survived that. Split with Carmella? Happened. Discover his friend is gay? Yep. Kill another close friend? Uh huh. Get chased by Feds? Happened. In the snow. This guy has been surviving narrative “closure” for 7 years.
My point is there’s no “thing” that could happen to close this out satisfactorily without seeming contrived and still be in some way ... believable.
How’s this for believable? Tony meets his family for a quiet dinner in a modest restaurant. A guy in a hat walks in. Another guy in a jacket walks in. Tony sees them. Like we do. A guy clowns with his girl in a nearby booth. Two other guys hover outside. Tony wonders. Like we do. A rain of bullets? A flurry of subpoenas?
Meadow is late. Tony watches everyone who walks through the door. It’s just a stupid thing ... like parking her car. But Tony thinks about it. We see it in his face. What if ...
So it ends with that last shot of Tony, seated facing the door, looking up at it, watching everytime it opens, and everyone who comes through it.
Wondering, Is this the one? Or is this just some guy in a hat?
Wondering. Like we do.
Is this the day? Or is it just another day ... in the rest of his life?
A perfect ending.

Thank our lucky stars, Tony didn’t get killed.
Since the camera was viewing Tony from A.J.‘s perspective when the scene went dark, obviously, it was A.J. whose lights went out.

The ending was well done. Forget about the typical series finale where all the questions are answered, all the loose ends are tied up, and everything is resolved. The beauty of the ending and the finale is within itself. You got closure, but it was closure to make you think.
(And for those that whined about pop culture entertainment being the lead report on Truthdig.com, there are too other things in the world that people do discuss, and television is not as much of a cancer as you claim it to be. I mean the Internet’s not much of a better sociopolitical toxin now is it?)

Perhaps the best character on television ever, Tony Soprano faces his future in the final episode. What awaits this sociopath is what he deserves and I consider this ending, unlike most critics apparently, quite fitting.
Will he fall to a bullet to the brain? Will he face the Grand Jury and receive a twenty year prison term? Does he perhaps understand that his success as a capo has cheated him of so much and all his money gives him so little?
We are given an ending that disturbs those who seek closure and are enamored of simplicity. Too bad, noone said life is simple or any deserve closure excepting the finality, ultimately, that awaits us all.

Just watched and recorded the last part of the finale episode. AJ says to Tony that Tony told him to “Always remember the good times.” Meadow, who had just entered the restaurant would have shielded Tony to his right in the booth, the direction from the restroom where the Members Only jacket guy went, if she hadn’t been late.
However, I checked the credits and he was NOT listed as Phil’s nephew as stated elsewhere. He was simply listed as “Man in Members Only Jacket.” I did a search on his name and found this VERY interesting article dated today, 11 June. This guy wouldn’t have had to sign a non-disclosure agreement if this was in fact the end of the Sopranos:

I guess Chase finally blew it. He invested so many layers of literary interpretation (only a few of which have been tapped in these comments) in the final episode that he seems to have alienated his public enough to bring down the HBO servers. Since my own blog tends to concentrate on text interpretation, I have tried to untangle all the threads there; and, God knows, I had a lot of fun doing so.

Hey guys - the guy with the members only jacket was phil leotardo’s nephew even listed in the credits as that. It isnt really a mystery or open-ended! Tony is DEAD - 1. In the first episode of this season when Bobby and Tony are at the lake house in a boat, they talk about what being shot must be like. Bobby says, “you probably don’t even hear it when it happends right?”. 2. The second to last episode (the one before this) at the very end, Tony is holding the gun Bobby gave him in that episode and flashes back to that scene of Bobby, again saying, “you probably don’t even hear it when it happends right?”. 3. 4 times in the final scene, Tony hears the door open. Each time, the bell jingles, camera shows Tony looking up, then it switches to his perspective. 4. The 5th time this happens, it is Meadow walking through the door. The door jingles, camera shows Tony looking up and then switches to his perspective, which is black because he has just been shot in the head. By who does not matter.
Once tony was killed the show losts its basis for existence as the music stopped and it remained black and silent for a few moments.

People disappointed in the terminal cliffhanger ending of “The Sopranos” series are asking for the moon. What did they expect? A mob hit on Tony and his family? An arrest, at long last, on racketeering charges? An ordinary evening of business as usual? An invitation to Tony from President Bush to receive the much-abused Medal of Freedom? In that final scene, any of these could have happened. Or not. The writers turned the series over to the spectators to create the ending that best suits their sensibilities, their sense of justice, their sense of drama. Anything more limited would have cheapened the story and stifled the imagination. And that final scene is the perfect statement about the aura of danger and foreboding that hangs over the head of any mob figure. The mobster lives with that danger every moment of his life. One day is the same as the next, in this regard. So, ending Tony’s “series life” with an ordinary day is simply a statement of what is. Keep in mind that each of us lives with that same danger. Who among us is not Tony Soprano? Who among us does not prosper by ill-gotten gains? The episode, in short, is about us. Angry at the show’s writers? They’re giving you the power you are all too eager to hand over to others.

Alright, a little non-political, media-interest story here at truthdig is fine. And human interest stories which are non-political certainly fit in well, too.
Since I didn’t watch the show over the years (and everyone tells me it was an exceptional show, so I’m the one at a loss), I really have no feeling about the final show, one way or another.
It’s just that I have just admired the lack of titillating, Anna Nichole Smith-type stories on this blog. That is what is so refreshing here.
I discovered Sheer’s colleague, Arianna Huffington, and her blog, about the same time I did this one, and every time I initially went over there, I kept thinking it would feel like it does here. But it felt awkward. I finally realized that the solid information on her site was in competition with
every tabloid-trash item out there. Kind of like watching Keith Olberman’s show.
Fine, if that is what works well for Arianna.
It’s just that I hope this site doesn’t begin to go in that direction. It hasn’t yet. What “Democracy Now” is to television, “Truthdig” is to the Internet. Here’s hoping it stays that way.

I say hooray for the way it ended- or didn’t… but like Bobby said on the boat in the first episode of the season- in the end “everything just goes black.”
We don’t get to tidy up our loose ends, why should a fictional tragicomedy about the ups and downs of life in a suburban mafia family.

From what I have read so far, many fans were angry at the ending. I thought it was great! My heart was pounding in my chest in the lead up to the “cut to black.” It is so easy to see graphic violence on the screen. And so easy to be told that the good guys won or the bad guys lost (or got away with it). But leaving viewers hanging has been fun. While initially frustrated, I find myself having much more fun now making up my own ending. The one I am working on at the moment has Tony shot and killed by the guy with the members only jacket (he did get the gun in the restroom), with Carmela and AJ killed in the shooting while Meadow watches in horror as she enters the restaurant (with the ominous sound of that bell on the door still ringing in our ears).
