Journey...Fuck You David Chase

seriously, my balls hurt now.

How about the size of that parking space Meadow just couldn't get to work?

I enjoyed it, and yes, that Phil hit was pretty great. I really hated him. Sopranos had a hell of a run.

I'll double post for the folks who can't follow 2 threads:


Halfway through, when they killed Phil, I realized that Tony is like The Rolling Stones.

He is the eye of the Hurricane. Everything, craziness, drugs, murder, the end of a way of life, swirls around him, and though he is caught up in little shit, he survives, thrives and prospers. The big shit don't touch him.

That's my theory and I'm stickin to it.

Talk about confusing. I read this and was like, "I didn't even turn my computer on last night! Who used my username?" Turns out, I had the exact same feelings about last night's show as last season's closer. Hmph.

The Phil hit was gruesome. I'm glad Tony and family didn't get offed.

Or did they?

Someone in today's newspaper wrote that it was like Choose Your Own Adventure for the Sopranos.

The last two episodes were decent episodes...few and far between these days for this show. But, I think just leaving everything open ended was pretty much a cop out more so than an artistic choice.

Since there are two threads tackling the topic...



I actually loved the ending, but thought this picture was funny....

So I'm hearing on XM right now that the dude at the counter in the final episode was Phil's cousin and the black dudes that walked in were the guys that tried to kill Tony in like season three or something.

Anyone else hear this or am I being bullshitted?

Pretty sure it's bullshit.

I've heard it debunked at a couple places.

The guy at the counter has never been on the show according to reports that I've heard.


Conspiracy theorists run amuck I'm thinking.

good read here...interview with david chase:

yeah, the rumors of him being cast as phil's nephew earlier this season are bunk.

Did ANYONE, even on this board of the slow and painful, so fucking stupid that they thought their cable went out at the end?

Simmons' chat wrap seemed to harp on that pretty hard. I didn't think it even for a second.

fuck no. though everyone who i've talked to here who didn't like the finale...this is the first thing out of their mouths. i hate people.

yes, for a second. and then i remembered that david chase likes to say "fuck you" to viewers with things like that.

someone just sent me this theory.......


Tony Soprano is dead....

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 ya why and
explain in detail... There were 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 he's 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 Season 6 episodes of the Sopranos, Tony is 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 (Nikki Leotardo) came out and killed Tony...

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

one of the black guys who failed the hit on tony died in that scene.

the trucker was in the booth, not at the bar. (and that was david chase anyway.) the guy at the bar was just some dude and the nikki leotardo rumors have been debunked.

Somebody needs to make a .gif of that black dude throwing up.

I like the guy who hobbles out from behind his truck, all "WHAT THE FUCK?" (or at least that's what I assume he's saying... got the sound off)

he says "oh shit!" and i think that part's funnier than the black dude puking.
