[@matthewwigzell2119]

The Sopranos and all involved were nothing short of incredible!

[@mrdonsmith]

For years I thought the final episode was a waste of time, until it was explained to me by a devoted fan what had happened. He said there was a comment to Tony in an earlier episode aboard a boat where a character told Tony that 'you don't know it' when you are the one being taken out', or words to that effect. Characters would enter that diner and Tony would look at the door to check them out. The super-fan explaining this to me was more specific and I apologize that I don't remember every detail. But, when Tony would look at the door, you, the viewer, was seeing the door from Tony's point of view. Cutting to black is Tony seeing, but then not knowing, that he had been shot by one of the people who had walked in. My super-fan even knew which character did the killing because there was a point-of-view shot by that character looking back at Tony and family at the table just before Tony's view went to black. Now that I know this, I see why the final episode was just brilliant.

[@kennethmonson]

There is a blog out there that breaks that scene down in excruciating detail and involves this very scenario. I too have chosen this as "what really happened" and through that lens I simply cannot imagine it ending any other way. Also, remember way back when Tony's mother talked about life with AJ. "It's all a big nothing". I think it calls back to that as well.

[@douglasslotolowicz9454]

Not sure if it means anything but the first episode season 1 opens with a close up of Tony who is looking up a statue in Melfi’s waiting room. The series then ends with again a close up of Tony looking up when the bell rings in the ice cream parlor. Some people surmise that Tony didn’t go anywhere, we the audience did, after all for all the clamoring about no “ending” we weren’t there for Tony’s beginning. We were just dropped into the middle of his life, then we were dropped out.

[@annabrewer8054]

the way tony is framed tiny between the legs of the statue makes me think of child birth. So, in a way, it begins with his birth and ends with his death.

Question remains, did Tony develop in the end? He may have some different stances on his uncle or what therapie is. But in his core he didn’t change in my opinion. His wife did, his children, Chris. But the main cast stayed loyal, didn’t really change. His mother and uncle not at all (dismissing the alzheimers). The development of the therapist was most noticeable in my opinion, very clear when she was with her friends and family.

If you took any fim classes, then the shot selection at the end of the last episode tells you what happened. Every time the door opens and the bell rings we get Tony's point-of-view camera shot. In the last shot, we hear the bell ring and cut to black. Tony never hears the shot that blows his brains out and his point-of-view is cut to black, so he never gets to see Meadow again before he dies.

James Gandolfini is to the acting world, what people like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury, etc. are to the music world. Unbelievably talented people, who we lost at what seemed to be the very beginning of their artistic peak. Sometimes one of these larger than life folks comes along, gives the performance of a lifetime, and barely even gets to see the effect it has on the following decades if not centuries. Strange how the right person is always in the right place, at the right time, to against all odds, both amaze us, and permanently raise the bar for everyone who follows. It's even reminiscent of the saints and martyrs of the bible. I'm not a religious person, but the people who wrote the bible, and the stories they chose to tell, are eerily similar and not by coincidence, to our own modern stories of heroes, saints, and martyrs. And almost as a rule, those who lead by example, and permanently change the status quo, never truly know that this is what theyre doing, and almost never live to actually see the impact their lives and works have for the rest of history to follow.

[@genemolnar2825]

Why do people not get what happened? It was pretty clear. Prior to the last episode, in one where Tony and Bobby Baccalieri are on a small boat fishing (S6E13), Tony asks what happens when you die, Bobby says "you probably don't even hear it". In the final episode every time the bell on the door rings it cuts to Tony's face as he looks up, then switches to Tony's view of the front door. First time it's Carmella. Second time it's the guy who clips Tony and AJ. Then suspect guy gets up and goes to the bathroom. Third time you get the shot of Tony's face, then black. The black and no sound is Tony's view, he's dead.

One of my many favorite scenes was Melfi patronizingly lecturing her patients, as they leave her motel room, "remember, you have two ears. Listen to one another."
