"What the #$%@ ?
Sopranos:
Did you watch?
Did your heart stop when the TV cut to black?
Did you (as I did) look accusingly at your husband ready to shout "How did you screw up the TIVO recording?"
Did you rewind and try to catch the ending - the ending that was not there?
I'll quote ABC news.com :
"In the end, the only ending that mattered was the one masterminded by "Soprano" creator David Chase. And playing against viewer expectations, as always, Chase refused to stage a mass extermination, put the characters through any major transformations, or provide his viewers with comfortable closure. Or catharsis. After all, he declined to pass moral judgement on Tony - he reminded viewers all season what a thug Tony is, then gave him a pass"...."It was just a family gathering for dinner at a restaurant. Four people among many. But then - with a jingle of the bell on the front door, Tony looked up. apparently seeing Meadow make her delayed entrance. Or could he have seen something awful - something he certainly deserved - about to come down? Probably not. Almost certainly another false alarm. But we'll never know. Whit that, "The Sopranos" cut to black, leaving us enriched after eight years. And flustered. And fated to always wonder what happened next."
I couldn't have said it better
