[@bradforddillman7671]

I was working at a suburban Philly newspaper when this episode aired, and it turned out the Members Only guy actually worked at a pizza place in Penndel, Pa. He wasn’t an actor, but he caught some casting agent’s eye and entered tv history. We interviewed him a few times, and he had no idea if he was the shooter or not. Pretty random. Great video series by the way.

Maybe I'm overthinking this but Tony has pretty much alienated both AJ and Carm throughout the series which is why they sit across from him at the table. Meadow, who Tony still has a strong relationship with, would have been the person to sit next to Tony at his 3 o'clock, in the way of the shooter. Instead, the shooter has a clean shot at Tony.

[@geordiejones5618]

This is the best interpretation I've read. I still think theres an even chance that he's killed or its the FBI showing up with a RICO conspiracy/murde charge. No chance of bail. Either way Tony's life as we knew it is over. His guardian angel wasn't there in that exact moment.

[@tjanderson5892]

Not a bad observation, but I don’t think that was considered when filming the scene. Think it was more about what works best on camera since they ending is supposed to be from Tonys perspective. Having the subject, Tony, facing Carm and AJ is a traditional framing technique. That way your subject doesn’t have to adjust where he’s looking between Carmen and AJ while giving his dialogue. He can look forward and talk to em both. So that when he turns his head ya can switch to a different shot and know that he’s not looking to talk to someone sitting next to him. Also makes it’s more significant when he does turn and look somewhere else. A lot of rambling to explain a short scene, but the scene has been discussed for many hours w/ many of joints in ppls hands l

[@TylerSmith-sd2oc]

There was no shooter. Theres more evidence he gets popped not shot. We even hear Tony say he prefers death than being caught up. Death would be the easy way out for the show but thats not what happens

Throughout the whole series AJ was a major worry for Tony, he represents Tony's failure, it just so happens that AJ walks into the restaurant with the supposed hit man that may or may not have killed Tony, as if David chase was symbolising Tony's worry about death and his failures walking through the door simultaneously.

[@MrPhresh25]

Yeah that’s what I was saying it’s his paranoia.

[@ststst981]

I was thinking about the Meadow parking scene too and felt it was supposed to show the banality of the reality of these murders, something as simple as taking a few extra minutes parking could be the thing that keeps you from seeing your loved one before their death.

[@dtraversodt]

Also notice AJ bought Rhiannon to both the hideaway AND family's house during a war. Carmella herself was even a little bothered by it when she told they were going to Holstens. What's telling is just like Tony was attracted to woman that resembled or acted like Livia(Melfi,Gloria,Kaisha) ,AJ dated blonds and Rhiannon looked like a young Carmela

You never once missed a beat and you were always there to insist that it's offensive to assume that just because a guy is in the waste management business he's mobbed up. You reminded everybody that it's a STEREOTYPE and it's OFFENSIVE. Furthermore, twenty years in the can is nothing compared to your hard work and diligence.

Honestly, I appreciate the ending more and more as time goes on, and I was a huge critic of it for years. It's the best possible way to have ended the show and indeed, made it into a legendary artistic achievement. Best TV show ever made.

[@donjuanmckenzie4897]

It's a non ending. It's actually terrible.

[@kennytesta9312]

I agree

[@jimmym3352]

I'm still meh about it. It comes across as having it both ways, and the director couldn't take a stand one way or another. I'm not saying the killing should be shown, it certainly should not. But it should be a little more obvious that he's about to be killed.

[@donjuanmckenzie4897]

@@jimmym3352 That's why he wasn't shot. The ending was so bad that people have had to retcon the ending in their own heads to make sense of it. The fact that there has been no official interpretation of the ending to this date by anyone involved with the show proves that there is no narrarive meaning to the ending.

[@microwavedeggs2733]

When Tony opens the door to the restaurant at the end and sees himself at the table it’s almost like he’s thinking “here we go again” he’s watching himself die over and over connects to when Chris said his dad says that when you’re in hell you watch yourself die over and over.

That’s crazy it’s taken me this long to figure out that Tony is in his own personal hell, he is already dead watching himself get killed in front of his family again and again. It even looks like he is wearing a different outfit walking in and the huge disappointment on his face when he walks in. Good call man, if I had to guess this is the correct ending.

Paulie loved Tony, so when he walked out the look on his face and his body language tells me he knows what's going to happen. He doesn't want Tony to die but he knows he's going to be whacked. I think Patsy and the others made a deal with new York that if they would let them get Phil in return the would give up Tony to end the war.

[@alexander1902]

Or he could just know with Carlo flipping that Tony is going away very soon. It's not like that isn't the bomb waiting to drop for everyone.

[@slycoxx9455]

Paulie loved himself, I 100% believe that he had something to do with Tony's death. Why else would they foreshadow his death by Tony's hands in Paulie's dream? He has always done whatever it takes to survive and he would definitely sell Tony out to New York to avoid being clipped himself.

[@maniac50ae14]

Someone did a video on it and i really think Paulie and Patsy did it. Patsy for obvious reasons but Paulies reason is more subtle but in short, he had made so many underhanded plays against the family, that his conscious was starting to warn him. The scene where he dreams of Big Puss and then he wakes up and we see him in serious thought as hes lifting weights tells us that hes about to do something about his fear of being killed by tony

[@maniac50ae14]

@Red Lobster Skull Chase recently shutdown that stupid rhiannon theory on a q&a where he confirmed that Ralphie killed the horse and that Phil was closeted. People are literally grasping at straws to think rhiannon

Did people help, of course be hes sitting in green lighting every idea. Could it have been NY, very likely but that girl isnt shown any connections to NY. The theory said she was too good for AJ but Blanca was hotter and Devyn was too who had way more money. Its stupid theory

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

If you talk about Breaking Bad, you need to discuss better call Saul. Plus the final season is coming next year so he can time it right to cover it when it airs

[@JiveDadson]

Better Call Saul still has one last chance to jump the shark.

[@jimmym3352]

in many ways I like Better Call Saul better than BB. Mainly because of Kim, I love her character so much. The good thing about this show is having likeable female character unlike BB which mostly has unlikeable female characters. Male characters in BB are probably better than BCS, but certainly not the female ones. I love them both though, and I'm glad they both exist.

[@isaacster5027]

Such insane and beautiful amounts of detail throughout the whole show, the way AJ remembers what Tony said back in season 1 and Tony doesn't. I thought Tony not remembering it was a sign that it's just some stupid shit AJ is always saying like usual, but then I rewatched the show and saw that Tony really did say that, I forgot just like Tony. That moment made me a lot more sympathetic for AJ. Just when he thinks he's got stuff figured out, his depressed ass dad ruins shit for him. And it makes him look bad to everybody. Damn.

[@MrPhresh25]

Actually aj was always the ungrateful little shit getting in trouble all the time,plus he showed moral support for his dad in the icu instead just talking about cars.

[@littlekingtrashmouth9219]

I’d say it was a small, heartwarming father and son moment. AJ finally remembered some wisdom his father passed onto him, and Tony didn’t even remember saying that. Shows you that your kids can surprise you, not to mention hold onto things that you might’ve said in passing

[@jordyjohnathan5123]

I don't think it was meant to be heartwarming. You could interpret it that way but seeing as how the thing tony forgot in question was 'remembering and appreciating the little moments' I'd say there was a cruel irony in that moment. one reflective of his hypocrisy and how far he had fallen

I have loved your explanations of all the episodes - absolutely amazing. I find it quite funny that Tony and Carmella expect Meadow & AJ to grow up to be completely untouched by the fact that they’ve been raised by a mafia boss. They expect them to make completely different life choices than what they have. To be honest, this is quite realistic because a lot of parents do this!

That last scene with Tony and Paulie is one curiously filmed scene. Prior to this, every other scene set outside of the shop was done in a Barry Sonnenfeld wide angle shot, where you can see the whole crew. But now, it’s just these two. The camera is clearly far away from them, and the close ups are clearly zoom-ins. It gives a real sense of finality to one of the most prominently featured sets on the show.

The end of an era...

[@James_Wisniewski]

I've talked about Junior's dementia on these videos before, but since this is the end, I might as well bring it up here, especially given its relevance. The final scene between Tony and Junior is not only one of my favorite scenes in this episode or this season, it's one of my favorite scenes in the entire series. This has been built up to for such an incredibly long time, and there's so much emotion between them. Both actors bring their A game here, and the conclusion of Junior's dementia arc is both touching and absolutely heartbreaking. Seeing the decline into utter confusion of someone who used to be so sharp is difficult to watch, regardless of what kind of person they were before, but even moreso if it's someone you like/respect. The entire thing was handled very respectfully and written (and, of course, acted) very believably. It's sad to see Junior's story end like this, but the journey was nonetheless stellar the whole way, and the ending is phenomenal.

[@jimgallagher2979]

David Chase created the perfect television series and the perfect ending. He left the ending up to the viewer to decide if Tony lived or died and left himself the option of a prequel or a sequel at a future date. He chose the prequel-at least in my mind- as a sort of memoriam to Tony Soprano. If it wasn't perfect we wouldn't still be talking about it 20 years later.

Thank you so much for all of the work you've done and hours of time you put in. This has been nothing short of fantastic.

Interesting review of the ending. Sopranos was a brilliant showcase of the human experience, which exists in the “grey” of life. Chase explored the complexities of the human psyche through the vehicle of a mob boss - not an easy task - and he achieved something that I have never seen on tv before nor since. I miss the show and saddened that Gandolfini is gone. Thank goodness we can step into the soprano world when we need to visit our favourite Family.

Thanks for all the entertainment! My daily lunch break routine was go for a run, then when I got back a half hour later, I’d make some food, and sit and watch your new video!

[@SopranoTheories]

Congratulations Kino! You did it, you should be very proud of yourself. It was a daunting task that could only have been done by you. Amazing work! -ST

[@PureKino]

Thanks brother! Looking forward to seeing your take on the movie!

[@thej2241]

Another connection to College in this episode and Members Only, is that Eugene shoots a guy named Teddy, and in College Teddy is what Fred/Fabian calls Tony

[@fascinatinglist9654]

This was a incredible journey. Thank you Don Kino looking forward to The Wire

[@the_local_bigamist]

Many thanks for these, Kino. Thoroughly enjoyed following your Soprano-logs and am looking forward to your future content. Salut!

[@Romulus-r6j]

Congratulations on finishing this beast of a series and I'm looking forward to seeing your analysis of both Breaking Bad and The Wire, which probably occupy my top-5 alongside The Sopranos. My opinion of the ending is a bit different, probably because I'm not that into symbolism. I believe that it doesn't matter wether Tony lives or dies and that the point of the ending was to highlight Tony's paranoia and uncertainty. When we discuss the ending and many signs that might have pointed to Tony's demise like the jacket or some guy going to the bathroom, we kinda get into Tony's shoes. In real life, if we saw someone with a jacket of a person we wronged, or a picture of a house from our nightmare, we wouldn't pay attention to it. But since it's Tony, who left so many lives broken in his wake, he has to constantly think about this, just as us he probably contemplates wether it's Butchie, Paulie, Little Carmine or any of others who want to see him dead. It doesn't matter wether he lives or dies, he's already dead inside and forever he is cursed to look for bad omens and expect betrayal. Also, i think "If you're lucky you'll remember the good times" also applies to AJ, it's no coincidence that he has remembered this phrase. Out of his whole family he's the only one who remained uncorrupted. While Meadow embraced her family's lies, AJ doesn't tell his friends that Richie Jr was killed by black drug dealers or that Cosa Nostra doesn't exist. He's the only child his parents managed to shield from evils of their lifestyle, but at the cost of him being a broken man that depends on their support for his survival.

Thanks for taking us on that journey!

[@joanbighorn9778]

I can’t stand the 3 o’ clock in Holstens theory, Tony is sitting at 12 and where Meadow would be, where Member’s Only supposedly shoots him from, is his 9 o’ clock.

[@kennytesta9312]

Thank you so much Keno you’ve made my work days a little bit easier these pass few months. And you’ve certainly shed a whole new light on all the nuances I’ve missed…. Now go get your Fucking Shinebox!!

[@WHR17]

Rhiannon holds a little more significance in the final episodes of the series. She was a plant from Buchie and this is how they found out Tony would be at Halstons for dinner that fateful night. Her picture is scene on the wall of Butchie’s salon during the meeting of Phil’s crew to discuss how to take down Tony’s crew. Why else would a new character be introduced during the final episodes? Also she is totally out of place in AJ’s rehab center. Look at the conditions of the other girls, they this semi supermodel walks in looking perfect. This guy dives into the final episode and explores this theory: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anmxammmr9RljpY

[@hexagonproductions2019]

Lmao whatta dumbass theory

[@Brad-zv4sv]

No.

[@elliott1017]

Mr.Kino, thank you for this! You've done great! Its been terrific having your videos sir.

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

This is it boys, it's been a fun ride experiencing this fantastic series again. Onto the next journey 🥂

[@rogueknight77]

Thank you, Kino. These logs have felt like another rewatch.❤️

[@marklefireflowerpeevus4796]

It’s sad it’s over but it was a great experience. Happy for you Kino, thanks for all your hard work. Looking forward to the wire and BB, got hype asf hearing you’re doing them.

[@MrJasonbushey]

Thanks for making these videos kino, you definitely have the making of a varsity pod casts maker! Ooof Madonn'

[@TonyVerrazano]

There's no more loyal fan base than us Sopranos fans. I was born and raised in Jersey, work in North Jersey everyday and I'm reminded of my favorite show everywhere I look. Thanks for all the great content!

[@t-bicer4138]

Oh what a journey man! Thank you and maybe even a Better Call Saul log after Breaking Bad? But for real thank you for this content

[@nicolasfurger1032]

Second best show of all time right behind The Wire

[@antasiac.3790]

Thank you Kino for posting these videos. Thank you very much.

[@vicenteeus8432]

These were waaaaay better than those overly long “podcasts” Bobby and Chris do

[@Michael.OJackson]

Hooo take it easy, you're talking about made men here and all dat!

[@battleb04n_43]

Bobby in the podcast ruins his character for me

[@creaturewiddit2228]

Hell no, the podcast is hilarious and Michael Emperiolli is so much better at analyzing the show.

[@battleb04n_43]

@Jeremie Esparza I agree

[@whathefuzizthiz]

Pauile also brought barber's scissors, and the NY family had a barber shop. Paulie and Patsy were also discussing having something done, and Patsy obviously hated Tony. He might have backed out if Tony gave him the capo position, and that's why Paulie got worried when Tony brought that up. This is all written in some website in full obviously

[@asandwell]

I had a thought recently as to the meaning of the series finale title. Earlier in the final season, we find out Tony committed his first murder over Labor Day weekend in 1982. It stands to reason that Tony got made a few weeks or months later. It could have been December '82. The finale takes place in December 2007. Perhaps that famous final scene in Holsten's takes place on the 25th anniversary that Tony got made...in America.

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

Bravo well done Pure Kino

[@killnstab8379]

Thank you Kino for getting me into this awesome show. It's been a hell of a ride, but it's been a great one with you! Really excited to see you get into the Wire.

[@EarthboundinAdrock]

So happy on your success and I wish greater success in the future.

[@WilliamWallis]

Let me tell you a couple of three things. These Sopranos reviews have been the best.

[@eddiehanley4258]

I'm so glad I stuck through this entire series. I'm kind of sad that it's over. We have so much Sopranos content to look forward to!

[@aggiepridegreen3715]

Thank you for giving me something to watch everyday on my lunch break at work lol amazing series kino looking forward to your future videos

[@geek_burger1504]

I convinced a bunch of my roommates in college to watch this with me. I’ve already seen it but none of them have. We’re about halfway through, and I can’t wait to see their reaction to the ending. The biggest reactions so far have been Richie and Pussy’s deaths.

[@evocativepizza2752]

DUDE! Breaking Bad AND The Wire. You’re content has been my daily lunch watch at work, a nice peaceful moment. This just got me rock hard. Thanks haha.

[@AngelLove890]

It’s so funny and such a coincidence that I started this series and ended up finding this channel and on the same episode that I was watching, you were talking about. Honestly thank you for this. I loved your interpretations on each episode. Can’t wait until you start The Wire cause I’m definitely going to follow your journey on there too. And that’s the next show I’m watching. Such a amazing show. Glad we finished together.
