some things have changed. The Godfather never would have went to see an analyst either.

Touche'

Paulie Walnuts is working for Phil. Notice how Phil didn't want Paulie whacked? Then Paulie gives the hit for Phil details to Patsy and they get the wrong guy?

Chase has made it known repeatedly Tony Sirico had it in his contract that he wouldn't be a rat. Well...technically he isn't if he's working for Phil.

I think Tony takes his own life. All of the talk about A.J. and his depressions and it's Tony's fault and Meadow is going to be in Law School. Too much for the guy to take. Witness protection program maybe?

Patsy Parisi is a turncoat. Still hasn't gotten over Tony whacking his twin brother. Apparently he didn't get all his angst out of his system when he pointed a gun through the window at Tony and peed in his pool.

It was Patsy that made it go wrong. Think about the history.

Awesome episode.

I still don't think the end will be next week. It will be left in a total cliffhanger, followed in a few years by a movie...

sounds like a good idea, but with so many of the main characters getting whacked, what will they have to work with for the movie?

[ALostTexan]

Good point...

If Tony, Syl, and Paulie survive they'll have plenty to work with. If they do a three hour movie there is plenty of time to do a full storyline arc for newly introduced characters.

Tony flips and/or runs of to Canada (really, he is running out of people he can trust).

My final "prediction" (possible spoiler so read at your own risk) - highlight below to read:

Quite novel.

Did you come up with the hidden color idea? I likes.

Oh damn. I ruined it given the gray background of the quote. Quickly, I will remove.

I thought the ending was brilliant.....my take is it's all tied to the song that was playing...."Don't stop believing." The guys that were in there meant nothing.....Meadow was the one that walked in the door and everything is okay....but there are so many spins on that.....but at the ending there is really no one that wanted Tony whacked, so if those guys had anything to do with it, they were protecting Tony....just my take...

I agree, the more I watch it, you just have to take it for what it was. HBO did a great job up'ing the tension level. From the Scarface type ending of Blue Comet, to the consistent need of keeping your eyes open, even when with your family. And, they kept their options open if they were to do another season or whatever they are going to do, because all in all, they really only off'ed Bobby.

[ArlJim78]

i'm sorry but I don't see the brilliance in that ending. come on, a blank screen leaving you hanging is brilliant? the truth is they didn't want to tie off things any more than that, either cause they wanted to leave options open, or couldn't come up with a truly brilliant ending where you watch it and then afterwards say, "man that was a great ending to a great series".
I'll say it again, ending the way it did with the heavy implication that something big was about to happen and then just going blank is like flipping off the audience.

on another note, I heard an alternate ending proposed on the radio this morning that made me laugh. Instead of the blank screen, the final shot is of a startled Bob Newhart waking up in the middle of the night, sitting up in bed and saying, "wow, I just had the strangest dream that I was a gangster in New Jersey".

That was good. I said it (running over his head) to my wife as soon as he got shot and when his head did get crunched she asked how I knew that. I gave you full credit of course...

yeah, great intell there. just like you said.
you have an FBI informant that you're sleeping with??

[Seattleallstar]

I really have no problem with the ending but it sure does make you hate AJ even more if anyone I wish he was wacked

Exactly, hopefully this guy with the intell has some horses to wager on also.....

Typical David Chase, he always ends without closure, learned this in Northern Exposure...life just goes on. DC has a problem with closure got po'd about the whole russian thing from pine barrens, says he knows where the russian is but won't tell b/c too many peeps got so worked up.
you get to choose your own ending.
Members only jacket guy was not a hit man had to be FBI, what mob guy would still be in a members only jacket.
The cat was christopha...no doubt about that...him and Paulie at it again.
the trucker just kept telling us USA....
It was all so typical of Sopranos, rewatch the 1st couple of episodes.
I can go both ways...life just goes on...AJ is an idiot, Meadow with all her intellect can't park a car, Tony is going to be indicted...it all goes back to the life we know of Tony..missing melfi so he looks to AJ's shrink for therapy, Carmella just being carmella, Janice is evil.
or the black is tony got whacked...but I don't think so
Will be interesting to see if there is director commentary on the DVD.
Loved Philly getting whacked and the head popping. and FBI guy saying we are going to win this one...it was great....
I'm fine with the ending....I didn't expect DC to give us an ending, have watched to many of his shows to really think we would get closure on Tony, we did get closure on everything else.
No matter what it has been one of the best series I have ever watched, I will miss our Sopranos friends.
As far as Milch and his new show, well should have stuck with Deadwood.
