what the hell?
Posted on Monday, June 11, 2007
"Toying with many of the big-bang endings predicted (and wished for) by plenty of opinionated viewers in a final episode he wrote and directed himself, Chase (1) didn't turn Tony over to the witness-protection program; (2) didn't expose Paulie as a turncoat who would sell out his boss; (3) didn't let AJ kill himself, or Meadow distinguish herself, or Dr. Melfi take T back as a patient, or the Russian mobster come back out of the Jersey Pine Barrens. Hell, Chase didn't even let Silvio live or die — just left him there in a dreamless coma so very different from Tony's, hooked to a breathing tube while his wife clipped his toenails and Little Miss Sunshine (family, redefined!) played on the hospital TV screen."

"Others imagine the blackout signifies Tony's death, coming in a flash. As Tony told Bobby Bacala while fishing earlier in the season: 'You never see it coming.' In this scenario, Tony perishes having seemingly reached a level of peace; he chooses Journey's optimistic 'Don't Stop Believin'' on the juke box, not Frank Sinatra's backward-looking 'My Way.'"
