    When the screen went black Tony clearly transferred back to his Kevin Finnerty tulpa and happens to be friends with Carrie Page… it’s all a crossover!!

      @@buckdancer8916 we can all hope for it to be that way … maybe we each have a Kevin Finnerty tulpa in us and/or waiting for us. Maybe it’s up to us to create or not create it. I think Tony could have learned a lot from his peyote induced “I get it!!!” moment, but he didn’t pursue it enough. His mother/bus analogy he said to Dr. Melfi was very much on the right track.

    I read an interview with Chase where he said he originally wanted there to be no credits at the end of that last show… just blackness for the amount of time that the credits would usually be rolling. The only way the current production laws would allow him to do it was to have all the credits at the beginning of the show as all cast and crew are required to be credited, so he didn’t do it. It’s very telling that he wanted that though... several minutes of silent darkness.

It only matters because of the symbolism of her trying 3 times to park (3 attempts on Tony's life) and also because she should be seated at Tony's 3 o'clock but is delayed in doing so. Other points, like why do I need to be shown a random dude in a Member's Only jacket going to the washroom.

    The moment the screen went black I knew right then that Tony was killed. The guy walking in who looked like the type of hitman but Tony being Tony should had NEVER taken his mind or sight off from that man Tony would had known just by looking at him that he didn't fit the character that should be in the room and it wasn't a hand gun it had to had been a sawed off shotgun or maybe a magnum but it had to had been a strong gun to make his lights go completely out and to cease all background noise all at once. I'm sure he wishes he could go back and completely change because I bet he's thought of so so many more ways that would had been way better but it is what it is. His masterpiece

    I legit thought that maybe David Chase had actually filmed what had happened at the end of the last episode anyway but he was going to keep it hidden for 10 years then I thought he would announce a sequel to the show that would pick up a few years after the death of Tony and how Tony's death affected his mob family and his real family. I had believed this even before the untimely death of James Gandolfini but it never materialized. Also, so many great actors have passed away since the show originally aired and some are so old now I have no idea what sense it would make to do a sequel with what I had in my head. Also, I still don't believe that Silvio played a role in Tony's death but possibly Patsy may have but still pretty uncertain about that be someone like Tony Blundetto from New York go off the reservation and go buck wild with it but still how does he (members only jacket) know they are going to meet together at the place that has always made me wondered how would they meaning New York have known.

    What I always got from the ending and its deliberate ambiguity was that Tony would get whacked sooner or later. If not in this diner, then another one, some other time. The wheel was turned and the die cast; Tony's comeuppance was inevitable, and our unknowingness to the when and where of it all was the entire point, I think. Tony doesn't get a glamorous demise; he doesn't even get the dignity of knowing it happened, and neither do we.

    Problem is that it was way too over the top and blatant with the clues that it’s almost like a parody. That being said, that’s my reason for not taking the “clues” so literally. They’re not clues, they’re just reasons to suggest that death may or may not be the case in this moment, but they want us to still fear it might happen and build the suspense. I think Chase wanted to create that and leave the option open for future projects and therefore, there is no definitive ending. That’s basically what happened, nothing. We’re left holding our stuff in our hand.

    For almost 20yrs I’ve been telling weak-minded people who are unable to think abstractly that Tony didn’t die - the show “died.” Yeah, ‘black means death,’ but i’ll direct you to the second half of Season 6 first episode when Tony and Bobby are on the boat fishing. Basically they discuss Death and how you’re alive one minute, and the next *nothing.* If Tony was killed, why not just say it? People need to learn how to think outside the box. Also, i’m not saying it’s a good ending, but it is what it is.

    "Infamous" means famous for being Bad (e.g., "a date which will live in infamy" - FDR, on the Pearl Harbor attack).
    Due to the TH-cam Feedback Loop - wherein videomakers unthinkingly parrot and propagate each other's speech errors - "infamous" has become widely mistaken as simpy an intensified form of "famous."
    Misusers of the word (presuming Some of them have given the matter some thought) perhaps mistakenly have likened it to "invaluable," where the prefix "in-" essentially intensfies "valuable."
    A troubling consequence of widespread misuse is that dictionaries - as a matter of policy (now in need of revision in this age of the viral Internet) - will update definitions to reflect vernacular usage, leading to an obvious slippery slope towards ultimate language debasement, whereby we shall see the King's English supplanted by babblings of illiterates.
