One week post-Sopranos

I waited a week to give my views on the Sopranos ending. Let me first say that my interpretation is no better than anyone else's. Even that guy at work who thinks he know FOR SURE what happened. He don't, you don't and neither do I. That's the genius of this ending. At first I thought it was horrible. We've been taught through years of watching movies and TV to expect a nice tidy ending. Bruce Willis was really dead all along, BJ writes goodbye in rocks, and Kevin Spacey wasn't a retard after all.
I say, in the ending in my brain, Tony was whacked. Why? because in the 2nd to last episode Tony talks to Bobby Baccala in a flashback and they're talking about what its like when you're killed. Bobby says something like, "it just happens." So when the end of the show just ended, I knew that's what he was doing. Plus the guy going into the bathroom was a nod to the Godfather.
David Chase has done one of the best endings in TV history. As an artist, what do you want in a series finale? Something out of the norm that gets people talking, transcends the show itself, and sticks in people's minds. That's exactly what happened. Like it or hate it, it's a week later and people are still talking about it.
There's also speculation that the Sopranos will return. It might happen in a few years. Probably when Gandolfini gets tired of being offered roles that are described as "Tony Soprano-types."
What do you think? It 'Comments' and release your inner Uncle June.
