Thread: Sopranos Season 6

I've also heard the shady guy at the diner bar is credited as "Nikki Leotardo," Phil's nephew.

Whatever I guess, we'll just wait and see if anything else comes of it. Fuck speculating anymore. One thing I was extremely disappointed in this season was the lack of Artie. He was one of the funniest characters and I can only remember him in about 30 seconds of the 2nd to last episode.

Anyone else watch the Wire? It's in it's prime right now and overall a great show.

Go rent sopranos from season one til the end, see what it was about.... then form an opinion. You are always trying to let everyone know who you are through your stupid "been there done that" kinda comments. I ate peyote too, also every other drug imaginable, want a pat on the back. You need a life mister 15,000 posts.
Now go meditate in your moms basement and save your stupid comments for someone who cares like your little sister.

On another note, the ending was a little bit of a let down. Then as I think about it more and more and dissect it a little, it gets better..... i'm sad. This show was part of my routine for like 8 years.....gonna miss it.

There is some great discussions on a few different Sopranos forums for those who care, the people discussing are diehards who watch every episode 3 times etc. and they have some interesting and helpfull thoughts that really helped ease my pain. Cheezy , I know, but for like the first time in years and years , I am pretty sad... Later.

Well excuse me for ruining your little soap opera, at least I have enough of a life not to need a show to pacify me every week....

I was just talking about this theory earlier. That conversation with Bobby came up, and it does make you think. After all we didn't hear anything, we just saw black. My thoughts is that Tony is face down on the table in the diner with a hole in his head.

Great. I saw this on the other forum that Daily Motion has it up too. Now everyone can see that us Sopranos fans are idiots for liking this show.

I think the constant look at the door is just him being watchful. Which is just another fucking piece of tension the director was using. It worked. Look at everyone speculating.

If thats Tony's view, then wed see the family members looking at him (or at the camera), but they arent.

I just dont buy it. There wouldve been some sort of hint...like a gun to the side, anything.

This is just a way for people to talk about this show so the Dvd collection can get sold...plus, if its true that there are more than 1 ending, then theyll be in the collection.

Were those the same black dudes in the restaurant who watched Phil get whacked?

From what I've read on other forums, yes.

The show started out as a day in the life and concluded that way. Visions of a Scarface ending or some grandiose apocalypse are for those that want exciting twists and turns where the 'good guy' triumphs in a blaze of glory.

It was a great series and a solid comedy.

Sopranos creator says TV finale isn't setup for movie, but 'never say never'

Today at 9:02 am NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - "Sopranos" fans who thought the series' open-ended conclusion was a setup for a movie may be in for disappointment: series creator David Chase says it isn't so.Chase went to France before the airing of the much-debated finale because he wanted to avoid what he called "all the Monday morning quarterbacking." But like a true New Jersey loyalist, he granted one interview to The Star-Ledger of Newark, which posted his comment early Tuesday on its website."I don't think about (a movie) much," he told the paper. "I never say never. An idea could pop into my head where I would go, 'Wow, that would make a great movie,' but I doubt it."I'm not being coy," he added. "If something appeared that really made a good 'Sopranos' movie and you could invest in it and everybody else wanted to do it, I would do it. But I think we've kind of said it and done it."Chase said he would leave it to fans to interpret the show's last scene for themselves. It featured the members of the Soprano family arriving for dinner as Journey's "Don't Stop Believin"' plays. Others in the restaurant include a man in a Member's Only jacket who goes to the bathroom, which some fans have interpreted as a nod to the scene in "The Godfather" in which Michael Corleone retrieves a gun from the bathroom before a shooting.As the music and tension build, the screen suddenly goes silent and dark."I have no interest in explaining, defending, reinterpreting, or adding to what is there," said Chase, 61, who grew up in North Caldwell."People get the impression that you're trying to (mess) with them, and it's not true. You're trying to entertain them," he said. "Anybody who wants to watch it, it's all there."Another problem with a movie is that so many characters died in the last season. Chase said he has considered "going back to a day in 2006 that you didn't see, but then (Tony's children) would be older than they were then and you would know that Tony doesn't get killed. It's got problems."Chase also elaborated on how he decided to make the Journey classic the last music played on the series."It didn't take much time at all to pick it, but there was a lot of conversation after the fact. I did something I'd never done before: In the location van, with the crew, I was saying, 'What do you think?' When I said, 'Don't Stop Believin',' people went, 'What? Oh my God!'"I said, 'I know, I know, just give a listen,' and little by little, people started coming around."

See, I told you. No movie. Nothing but a stake of un-enteratinment rammed up my ass.

That's how I see it too. Even if Tony did get popped nothing would stop, organized crime would keep going, his family would get over it and live their lives. Just like the lyrics in the song "Oh, the movie never ends, It goes on and on and on and on". I guess what the creators wanted was for the show to continue in the minds and dreams of the viewers. Leaving the ending open ended was a bold move now that I look at it again, instead of absolutes you get an endless array of possibilities. Some could speculate that the guy in the Members Only Jacket who comes in right before Tony's son, as if they were together, has been hired by the boy to kill his father because he thinks his father is a burden on society. Or one could believe nothing happened and Tony goes on to live a while longer, maybe he finally becomes a Sammy the Bull, his family goes into Witness Protection and he retires to Oregon to live in the mountains. Shit I could write a novel on all of the possibilities, one of those choose your own adventure types where you can choose to turn to page 15 or 30 or 66 at the end of a chapter, then again at the end of other chapters, maybe even after reading a whole book you can choose which title will be the sequel....

I'm glad tony didn't die on camera, if you ask me, Chase was brilliant for this ending. Any channel you tune, somehow, someway, the sopranos finale is being brought up. I don't think it would recieve such a buzz if they went with some crazy bloodbath.

I see youre looking at it as an artistic action. Reading the reviews today, I can see people are divided. Ones who wanted entertainment and the others who see it as artistic.

Clearly, I am an entertainment fan and I believe the ending sucked cuz it shows zero creativity. Disagree? Anyone couldve done what he did! In my book, Chase took the coward's way out. Worried that no matter what ending he chose, people still wouldve cried, so he decided to piss off everyone. Oh..except the artistics.

Its just a cheap move. A good ending to a movie or a TV show could make a huge difference in the supply of enjoyment.

Yes, I strictly believe that a blood bath wouldve been better and yep, more creative. Who dies, who gets wounded, and again, what happens to Tony. Now thats writing! Not to mention, it hadnt been done yet during the show! However, this ending has happened before..its called disappointment.

Its like watching a MMA championship bout, the fighters are beaten to a pulp, it would only take 1 more blow from one of them to knock the other one out. One of them, takes a deep breath, clenches his teeth and swings....!

Power goes out...credits roll.

Fuck this. Its over and its not going to correct itself no matter how much I piss and moan.

I think it showed that Tony was a family man and that after all is said and done, its all about family. do I think he got smoked? No. I think we were offered a glimpse in how T has to live the rest of his life, looking over his shoulder.

Movie?? Holy fuck I hope so.

Like I said Chase was bold for making it end like that, it's all I hear on the radio and it was mentioned twice in the newspaper today, and that was just in the entertainment section where the comics are, which is the only part i read because the rest is too depressing...I mean people will refrence it in times to come just like you always hear people talking about who shot J.R. on Dallas...
