:4:10 min: Tony's mob family might not take care of Carmela but you forget, Tony's lawyer has access to his overseas money and instructions in how to distribute it to Carmela. Plus fending for herself won't be difficult. The F.B.I. isn't able to convict him and therefore take his assets, and they have plenty of those~! The house is even in her name as she mentions in the show; there is the boat, the cars, the property she just bought where she stayed when they were hiding out earlier in the episode; there is his social security from all the legit businesses and let us not overlook her jewelry, furniture and household items. Please~!
The killer was at Chrissy funeral
Who else wore a members only jacket?
One small detail I always noticed but have never seen mentioned is This Magic Moment by The Drifters being visible on the jukebox just before Tony selects Journey - Don't Stop Believing. This was the song played at the end of 6x13, Sopranos Home Movies. The same episode Bobby comes out with the famous (and important) "You probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?" line.
Oh, wow. That has so many levels. It links the episode where Bobby says that phrase to this one, but it links to the song as well, because he won't be hearing it when it happens. I hadn't noticed this. Very cool insight.
@@fedefox8 Thank you, man. I appreciate that. I looked all over the internet to see if anyone else was talking about it, but no one else had seemed to notice or mention it.
Dale well spotted. This is obviously not a coincidence.
100% Tony gets clipped.. the whole last episode was a buildup to that.
Why anyone would think otherwise is beyond me.
@@scroopynooperz9051 people might think otherwise because Phil got clipped first and that whole scene with butch. Lol
@@solomontevis1036 Red Herring
I actually had the chance to ask David Chase about this at lunch, and what he told me was “Get away from my table, im trying to eat you psycho” i was asked to leave the restaurant immediately after.
Nice work.
😂🤣😅
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Jersey? A family?!!
They're a glorified crew!
Lol!
Reading that was a roller coaster ride at first I thought it was going to be lame as hell like a lot of “roses are red” type poems usually are but then when I got to the “jersey” part I was curious then the “glorified crew” part had me laughing my ass off.... well done especially for a thug..... and not just a thug a thug who can’t read
Mostly end up themselves shades of black and blue....
Great make poems because you never had the makings of a varsity athlete
🤣
There were so many clues that he died in this scene, but the one part that kind of throws me is where he enters the diner and it looks like you’re seeing his POV and he’s already seated in the diner. So this leads me to believe this is supposed to be like his hell that Chris described where he sees himself getting whacked over and over every night. But the clues that he is dead are everywhere from the very first scene where you see Tony asleep face up on a pillow and organ music is playing… looks like a casket and sounds like a funeral parlor, until it turns to a rock n roll song and he wakes up. Everything in the diner is 3’s and this would be his third killing attempt. Also Meadow “saved” him twice in the series, but she’s running late because it took her 3 times to get the parking right (another third time) and she acts like she is really in a hurry even though this is just a casual dinner. She would’ve been seated right where the gunman shot him from and could’ve potentially saved him, but she was too late.
I really wanted to like this but it has 3 likes and seems fitting to the comment hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
3 o’clock said Christopher….3 o’clock
@@queensquish Don't worry... I made it 33. 😁 I really wanted to like your comment, but it has 3 likes and it seems fitting!
The original comment was posted 3 weeks ago... now it has three responses. (cue Twilight Zone theme)
It all ties into masonry and luciferianism
You nailed it
Ok, random trivia: I worked at a suburban Philly newspaper when this episode aired, and the “Member’s Only” guy worked at a local pizza shop in Penndel, Pa. he wasn’t an actor, he was found by a casting agent (or someone) and entered TV history. We interviewed the guy a few times, and he had no idea if he was supposed to be the shooter or not. Pretty random.
Pretty bollocks
Can you elaborate a little bit more? How do you know about this? Hope you reply tho
@@Fidozo15 I was the design editor at the local paper in Bucks County, Pennsylvania when The Sopranos was wrapping up.
Somehow, we got a tip that a local guy who ran a pizza shop had a key role in the last episode. My reporter friend interviewed the guy and we did a few stories on him.
It turned out the guy was just spotted by a casting director or whatever and the pizza shop guy entered TV history. Details are kind of fuzzy after all these years, but I know pizza / Members Only guy was not an actor.
@@bradforddillman7671 whats his name then? He was forced to sign a nondisclosure for his role in the show.
@@mattsterh7740 not a clue. It’s been a decade or more
It’s over. One of the greatest shows with the best actors. They can make prequels all they want, but there will never be another Tony Soprano..
Never
exactly. wait to you see the prequel movie and come back and comment what you thought
Tony soprano is a legend, James gandolfini took a character and made something that will never be forgotten
@@navyvet7138 I herd it was lame
Many Saints is trash. I'm not sure I've ever been so disappointed in anything.
I just finished the series and I was confused as to why when Tony walked into the diner he was looking at himself already seated. Someone below explained it beautifully. He's already dead, in hell, watching himself getting whacked over and over...or "on and on" (as Journey put it) again. Christopher unknowingly provided the heads up.
Hey Trish. Thanks for watching this timeless classic it's good more and more people are realising what great writing it really was. It deserves its legendary status. I watched this over 15 years ago it's amazing it's growing again.
Was it 3 o'clock ? That is a good insight though. I never really caught that. The have a lot of tidbits in the dialogue and scenes that point to things that happened in the past or may happen in the future. I got a kick out of the idea that Russ Fegoli is Paulie Gualitari s father. He talks to Tony about his "Aunt" in the convent dying. He mentions some G.I named Russ got her pregnant. Tony does not even show any concern or think back that the snooty Dr. Fegoli could be Paulie's Father.
Only AJs girlfriend heard where dinner was at that night. Then tony looks at carmella and says “who the hell is she gonna tell” (butchie is who)
@@bobbydigits88 I didn't catch that! Who was butchie?
@@bobbydigits88 Yeah ,I knew she was a leak, unfortunately I lost my Soprano DVD collection. Thanks.
You were warned cineranter, the money goes up to borko
How 'bout this humidity.
Come on theres enough sopranos clips for everybody.
Next time.. there will be no next time...
Borko is a made guy
You kick up to Borko now
Knowing Tony and how lucky he was I think he went home after the diner with his family and snacked on some provolone
Don’t forget the gabagool!
@@dukes1993724 😂😂😂😂
He's still wondering who at that last piece of cake
Hope you know provolone is cheese
Yeah gabagool would of been better than provolone
They whacked him the same way he killed Philly - in front of his family
You're right!
I hate the ending,but I grew to respect it
Carmela and AJ also die. Meadow misses it - hence the parking sequence.

RIP James Gandolfini
Even if he didn’t die the feds and/ or health issues would have got to Tony soon enough. You could feel things closing in around him on the last season or two. Either way if you’re in the mob then you’re not entitled to a happy ending.
Thats true. The gang life either ends in prison or death. There might be some who survive like one in a million but for the most part they all end up losing at the end.
To be honest, I believe that Tony's fate would worse if actually didn't get shot in the last scene. Instead, he would continually have to look behind his shoulder even more than usual just because of all mayhem that happened in the second half of season 6. Like you said, sooner or later it would catch up to him. I actually believe he survived that last scene just because I believe thats a worst ending than dying without realizing it.
If you're a boss, there's like an 8 in 10 chance you go to prison for at least 10 years. There's like a 0.1 in 10 chance you're murdered.
If you're a soldier, there's like a 3 in 10 chance for prison, but not a life sentence. Most soldiers in the mob just get old and retire, then eventually die of old age.
@@histguy101 they sound like incredibly inaccurate facts. But cool man!
@@hick5y Well, they're career criminals. They know how to get away with it, and law enforcement always goes after the upper echelons. Bosses getting killed is extremely rare, like 3 or 4 in the last 40 years.
“Tell Tony (and paulie) 3 o’clock.” -Chris after being shot.
Tony was shot from his right by the members only guy coming from the bathroom. Or, Tony’s 3 o’clock.
All of that is fascinating but who the fuck sanctioned that? Phil is dead and peace with new York was made!
@@wildazcat25 from Tony’s perspective sure. But I also wondered if Carmine Jr. Was playing the role as the village idiot. Even though him and Tony had a heart to heart late in the show and that he set up the last meeting. I think Patsy, Paulie, and Carmine Jr were all working together to eliminate the competition of Phil and Tony.
Holy sh*t that’s the one thing I never heard any theories about thanks man smart one 👍🏽
Jokers Wild-- if it was members only jacket guy, this hit was straight out of the Godfather
All the people shown during the diner scene were representations of people that saw death or were close to it. Two black guys_ tony car jackers, Boy Scout troop- the kids that found the body that get adrianna killed, the couple- the snitch from season one tries to hire a couple to kill tony, members only JACKET (the jacket) Richie Aprile.
Yep. Not only that, season six (a & b) is filled with either death imagery or hints as to how Tony is not as capable anymore. There's the three bells aspect; in Soprano Home movies, two bells ring, right after Tony loses his fight with Bobby (proving he's getting weaker, and even the excuse he mentions, a sucker punch, proves that he's not as fast to react anymore). He doesn't catch the fish jumping out of the water; Carmella sees it.
Season 6a is full of people getting a taste of the life they wanted, only to get it taken away from them: Johnny Sack at the wedding, Chris in LA, Vito living as a gay man. Carmela has her own version of the coma dream, she talks as to how being in Paris is like being in a place where nobody knows who she is, just like Tony, in the coma, loses his identity, etc.
At the same time, you see all the potential endings for someone like Tony with the other characters: dead or in prison, mainly, but it's still interesting that the show goes out of its way to show the fall of Johnny Sack, for example. And of course, and most blatantly, you literally know what is going to happen to him when he dies because you've already seen it in the coma episodes.
Dude a sucker punch is just that, a sucker punch. He was faced away from bobby and it happens in half a second how the fuck would he be able to react?
@@AvatarRoku999 My point being that the show keeps showing him getting caught off guard. The first episode of the sixth season he gets shot, then in Sopranos Home Movies he gets beat up by Bobby of all people, even in the finale you see that very weird scene with the water bottles, that seems to be there to reinforce the image of him not noticing what he has around, as foreshadowing for the moment when he won't be able to react to the Member's Only guy. It's not about whether Tony is realistically able to do anything or not, in the first season he was gonna get shot by two guys and he was able to react, my point is that the show itself keeps telling stories where he always fails, because they are clues, thematically, of what's happening in the finale.
also in the last ep when tony goes to see jun, the man behind tony says “sir” like 3 times i believe, before tony finally heard him
@@MrTomlette wait what’s the water bottles thing? I’ve never heard that I remember that scene, they ask if anyone wants water and tony says no. Can you explain a little more?
@@mikelcory8959 Essentially, a lot of people who support the theory that Tony dies took the inclusion of that scene as another sign that Tony doesn't watch his surroundings properly anymore, since he didn't see the water bottles before sitting.
Tony wasn't lucky this time. In the end we see what Tony sees. Tony got his lights punched out by Noah.
JUSTICE 😂😂

when Noah said he would kick Tony's ass !I laughed so hard .
😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
I remember my ex wife called me a bitch for tearing up at the Cut to black. One of the only times I’ve got emotional over a show/movie. Rip tony
Glad she’s your ex
Is that why shes your ex? 😂 Just kidding.
I cried
Never cry over a sociopath. Real or fictional.
There’s nothing wrong with getting emotional over a story you’re invested in, by I can’t imagine shedding a tear over Tony Soprano
The "gunman" in the diner was dressed similarly to the way Eugene was dressed when he wacked Teddy in a different diner.
Not to mention Teddy Spirodakis has the same initials, and he was shot in the head once and chest twice, where you'd normally do prayer gesture
I believe the unfortunate real life passing of the great James Gandolfini brought finality to Tony's fate. Had this not happened, it wouldn't shock me to have seen The Sopranos revisited, in some capacity, from Tony's point of view just like the show.
I agree with you, great call
When JG passed I felt really sad, it was like we will never visit the sopranos again
One thing that stuck out to me: tony gets onion rings for the table, then there is a close up shot of Carmela eating one, then of AJ eating one.
They are shown eating the rings in a very deliberate manner, and they both eat them whole, as one would a communion wafer.
Someone in another comment pointed out that in this scene tonys family had finally accepted the mafia lifestyle. Carmela doesnt react to Carlo testifying, AJ accepted a job he got through mob connections, Meadow is working to become a criminal defense lawyer.
In that scene they are taking the communion of Tonys lifestyle. Accepting it as catholics accept the body of christ for his sacrifices.
its too bad that tonys brains would then get blown out in front of his family at the restaurant:(
Very allegorical
@@ishdeephora5077

@@tomlewis9207 So...onion rings cause gas?
🤯
In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's Tony Soprano is a thought experiment in which a hypothetical wiseguy may be considered simultaneously both alive and dead as a result of his fate being linked to a random subatomic script event that may or may not occur.
?
Perhaps in another universe all the characters of this series are real people living that kind of life and we are characters in a tv show.
Schrodinger ? Charlie Brown's friend who's always playing the piano ?
@@enak413 No, Ricky Schrodinger, the boy from Silver Spoons.
The cat is actually there to show it throughout the season as well. The way it stares at the picture of Chris is also a way of making you think that Chris is dead, but also alive still as the cat. The Shrödingers cat was meant to be there in the final season to make you think about those things.

Carmela moves to Italy and finds Furio, AJ moves to the Bronx and finds Blanca, Meadow moves to California and finds Finn and they all live happily ever after.
Please don’t curse Finn like that.Meadow is a mess!😂
The Jersey family would fall apart and most likely absorb into the Lupertazzi family. That's what Butch wanted to do. With Tony, Bobby and Silvio gone, there would be no one left to run the family other than Paulie. We know Paulie isn't capable of running a family. Also, Carlo flipped and probably gave up a handful of guys. It would be a skeleton crew.
I think the same happened, only Patsy would be the puppet boss for Brooklyn
Tony said in the first season. He felt like he came into the life at the end
That makes the most sense
Despite the fact he's in jail awaiting trial....Larry Barese is still a capo at the end, and his crew mostly intact, though theyre mainly associates, its possible he could delegate thru Albert...and if he beat the charges....well hes prob boss
Artie whacked them all for eating at a new diner.... or.... Ginny Sacks heard the Jersey crew was talkin’ smack and did it herself
Lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂
Ginny hid the gun in a loaf of sourdough
But Tony never settled his tab with Artie.
It was the Russian, Valery, he mistook Tony for a Czechoslovakian.
Tony always said there was two ways to go for guys like him. Shot dead or prison. He got as far as he did with some luck and skill, Machiavellis virtue and fortuna. The show-runners left it open as to what would get him; Carlo was going to testify and the possibility of the last scene being a hit.
That ending scene could've also been the moment he died when he was in his coma. He hears the child's (Meadows) voice and she's the last person he sees before it cuts to black. He could've been taken off life support at that exact moment. Having him wearing the same shirt makes sense too.
It's not the same shirt. I keep seeing people saying this. It's not the same though, go look. The shirt he's wearing when Junior shoots him is a polo/golf shirt with a light grey collar with black piping and a thin black stripe down the middle of the front; the shirt he's wearing in the series finale is a button up shirt with a black collar and a thick light grey stripe down the middle of the front.
@J H word
@Logic Police lol, I agree
Interesting theory. 🤔
@@tui8674 Lol, I know right? I just finished reading The Sopranos Sessions and it's an awesome read. Toward the end of the book, The authors were able to get alot out of David Chase and he answers alot of questions that alot of Sopranos fans really want to know. Upon reading, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the cut to black is him getting killed. I won't spoil anything he says but if you haven't read it, and are interested, I absolutely recommend it. I blew through it.
I think Tony is killed and Paulie eventually becomes boss of what is left of the New Jersey crew. Tony not killing Paulie on the boat proved to be a fatal mistake. Although Paulie had a love for Tony there were many instances where he displayed disloyalty I.e telling Johnny sack about the fat joke, trying to impress Carmine and not wanting to give Carmela any of the money from the drug bust. All of these things ultimately back fired. Paulie would have known that agreeing with New York to get rid of Tony would have been his last chance of being Boss and I think he took it. Remember what he said to Sil “You never know what the future holds my friend”.
Patsy became boss not Paulie.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Paulie was a shitty earner and a joke to the higher ups in New York, he kind of just... stuck around. I’d be shocked if he ever became boss
@@ajk1312 that’s a fair point but who else is left ? Paulie is easily manipulated and by having him as boss , New York could in effect control the affairs of the New Jersey crew. All just my thoughts of course .
Lol... Paulie was too debile in order to pull off a slick move like that... At no point during the show did Paulie show that type of determination & leadership qualities, which are attributes that characterize a Boss... Tony had them before he was Boss.... When Bobby showed signs of those attributes, Tony started to hand more responsibility to him.... Paulie was like a secretary - always dependent on guys with those Attributes (Tony, Johnny Sac, Carmine, even Silvio and Vito in the end).... Or he envied guys with those attributes (Ralphie, Bobby)....
Bosses like Tony & Johnny Sac
were fully aware of that, that's why Johnny played Paulie the whole time... And Tony always favored other guys, that's why Paulie never got to lead the Aprille crew - Richie, Gigi, Ralphie, Vito all came before him.
Tony was a dead man as soon as Carlo flipped. Why risk Tony being taken in and offering up information against New York.
4:05 true but in season 4 tony did sign a life trust for his family and had a few off shore accounts that would be given to Carmela if something were to happen to tony.
Thank you for this. I originally opined that the final episode was a great one, but I long held the view that it was a cop out for failing to come to grips with the essential conflict of the show - Tony the family man vs Tony the “family” man.
A review of the show itself has led me to a change of heart, mostly anyways.
Not only the aftermath of the junior shooting, but also the fates of Johnny sack and leotardo, explored the many possible paths for the soprano clan.
And in the end, Tony didn’t make the choice between his families, though it was probably clear he should have. So by wanting to have his cake and eat it, too, he consigned both families to perhaps their worst fates.
Outstanding show. Worthy of re-watching and continued discussion.
People that believe Tony was killed will lay out all the evidence that definitely supports this.
People that think Tony lived will never give an intelligent rebuttal but just say "we didn't see it."
There’s no smoking gun either way. David chase went back and forth with it too, and now answers with ‘idk where that came from I never said he died’. There’s a lot of evidence pointing towards him being arrested too.
@@nickthompson2376 he’s dead, in a recent interview his tongue slipped when someone asked him if he could be alive and he said something along the lines of “maybe in an alternate universe”, the ending wasn’t open to interpretation, they specifically put you in his POV and the screen goes black.
What about those who don’t care?
I think people are way to emotionally attached to Tony to admit he was in fact killed.
@Will Muny In my opinion I think the problem is the ending made it where you had to think to figure out if he was killed instead they of just showing it. You don't need to see Tony's death to know his fate. In "Logan" we didn't have to see the Charles accidentally kill the Xmen when he had a seizure or even be told it directly to understand what happened. That is the problem. The general public often has stuff spoonfed. Studios underestimate the audience's overall intelligence. This is why in "The Ring" a Japanese horror movie the title's meaning had to be changed when remade in America. The studio actually thought Americans would not understand the title's metaphorical meaning so they changed it to the title simply referring to the ring of light she saw while down in the well.
After Tony left the diner, he went home and got his shinebox.
Not before he got the papers, got the papers.
He never folded under questioning whilst ordering his food.
Fonzie never had the making of a varsity athlete, but he never folded under questioning, just told everyone AYYYYY.

@@danklordofthememe1612 a bunch of idiots
Things were grim following Tony's death until Furio returned and brought Carmella to Italy where they lived out their lives in romance.
That would be cool
Damn!!!! Idk it could be cool but kinda wrong!!!
Ou no. Not that BS. 🤮
Furio killed tony
Tony died at the end for sure. If you pay attention to the dialogue throughout the show, there are hints written into it. One case is when they are on Tony's boat and they kill Pussy. After they dump the body they have a conversation about what they think happens when you get wacked with a bullet to the back of the head, if you will hear it our not. They say you would not hear it and everything would just go black. There is also a bunch of symbolism in the final scene that the writers said was put there intentionally to explain more about his fate.
That's exactly what Henry Hill said in Goodfellas. When he gets busted at the end, he knew they were cops because if they were wiseguys, he never would have heard a thing.
There’s also the scene where Tony’s relaxing by the dock and the boat was rocking and ringing a bell. Each time it would switch to his point of view

A couple episodes earlier Bobby literally explains what happens when you die and that’s exactly how the series ended cutting to black. He said “you probably don’t hear it” and “it’s probably just darkness” or something like that
Exactly. That’s why I think Tony is dead.
Say hello to frank , Marilyn and james ,
Bobby tells Tony that you probably don't even see it coming. Tony remembers this conversation at the end of "Blue Comet".

Tony soprano? Not too much to clean up, hehehe
The symbolism is absolutely brilliant! I knew what had happened knowing my mafia movie trivia and it just made sense. Yes, it’s tragic, but like Caesar, he is ultimately betrayed.
And just like Caesar he kind of deserves it.
He might actually still be alive. When these guys disappear everyone just assumes they died or flipped.
All I wanted to know is if the Journey song had finished... or had the table jukebox been struck by an errant bullet, silencing Journey like in our POV, defying the command of "Don't Stop!" Unable to not... not stop...
A tragic ending, indeed... A table jukebox cut down by gang violence, callously taken from this world with on the very eve of it's retirement...

A tale that's played out far too many times in this unwaking nightmare we call our world...
R.I.P. Table Jukebox...

Considering each table has a jukebox, the music would be playing from a central source which would have still worked if the jukebox at the table was destroyed.

You are not entitled to anything. We are viewers, we are lucky to have been able to watch it all and the creators end it how they want to. Just accept it, Tony died. If you can't, you completely miss the point of the show.
All the hints are in that last scene. Including blatant clues like the non members jacket wearing hitman.

comment wisely It doesnt make sense that he was whacked . What would be the reason?
@@christiansoldier77 there's a few good reasons. Could be butch and Paulie came to an agreement that both Phil and Tony needed to go. Or Phil brought in his own hit man for Tony so the wheels were in motion and too late to stop it after Butch and Tony Sat down. Those are the best ones I think.
@@commentwisely3033 Butchie is Phil's man so why would there be any others? Paulie doesnt want to be boss. He didnt even want to be captain of the crew Tony was giving him
So perfectly put
What if, if, hear me out, that was the end of their universe. Time stopped in that moment and there is no future.
Would still make more sense than Game of Thrones did.
As it tends to do in fictional universes. Creating millions of parallel universes where every scenario is possible.

I suspect Tony was clipped by someone in the Lupertazzi family, probably Butchie. They used Tony to clip Phil, which is a loose end that needed tying off. Clipping your own boss, while quite common, is a big break from the protocols of the mafia.....get Tony to whack Phil, then whack Tony and have a puppet boss installed (probably Paulie, he's ambitious and dumb) in Jersey. Then the glorified crew will effectively become exactly that and kick up to the new boss in NY.
butchie whacked tony because he was under indictment, sopranos fucked up the hit on phil(murdering him in front of his family marring the body), and so he wouldn't owe his sister for her dead husband (bobby baccala).then little carmine had butchie whacked for dishonoring the sitdown that they attended. very allegorical...
@@juliusmorgan2292 I doubt Butchie gave a fuck about Phil's face being mushed up, he was always an ugly fuck.
I can see dat

@Ken Doe dey trew phil unda da bus
What makes me sad is that Benny, now a made guy, probably killed Artie Bucco, now that Artie doesn't have Tony's protection anymore.
We saw the details of setting up a hit with the Leotardo hit. Members Only was just the trigger man, possibly a relative of Eugene. Patsy coordinated it and Paulie called the shot-- with Butchie's approval. Paulie is the new Boss.
It's like Christopher said after his dream. 3 o'clock. With the way Tony was sitting, 3 o'clock was to his right. The guy that came out of the bathroom is the guy that killed him.
No.
@@TWH442 why?
@@hughjanus9557 because the message was for Tony and Paulie. What does Three O’clock have to do with both of them,unless it’s Paulie that set Tony up,of course.
@@furbabydaddy5604 and paulie did set him up.
But that's lazy writing. Everyone saying members only guy is just dumb tk think after all these years the writers would get lazy and have the 1 person who everyone automatically thinks is gonna do something does it. That's not their style. It would be shitting on the entirety of the show. They aren't that lazy.
I always thought that he did die. that the fact that they showed Meadow took three attempts to park the car, signified the amount of times the hits on Tony failed. The last one being in the finale which was a success.
Well if meadow didnt take so long parking, she would have been sitting between the shooter from the bathroom and tony, he may not have been shot. Just a sign his luck has finally run out

@Cineranter
Been loving your videos since the early pre production of the Irishman.
But can’t find the reddit post you mention at the end.Could you provide a link please?
Excellent breakdown. You definitely nailed on this one
This is so good - makes me want to re-watch the series!
I already have
Tony had been shipping money offshore with the Russians for several seasons to take care of the family in the event something went bad I have to assume they would be okay
This is correct not only the Russians even his lawyer had strict instructions to take care of Carmella if anything happened to him when he thought he was going down for murder. The tax return from Barrone justified the house so the feds couldn't touch it.
Bravo I only caught this now, 👏👏👏
какие деньги? У нас никогда не было денег.
Great video very informative and thanks for sharing!
Plus when the scene and song starts people are walking around like a dream sequence
My subconscious experienced everything you said in this video without me expressing it thank you for doing the work. A nice feather in the cap Would have been you reminding us the first episode of the last season is titled members only
Uncle Jun didn’t have the makings of even a varsity hit man near his end, when trying to take out Tony! Basta!
Yesssss my boiiiii back in it
Paulie probably became boss, and probably a bad one, and that is why Butch spared Paulie and went for Bobby instead.
Butch was looking ahead to the future, and knew the Sopranos family would still be intact after the war; so Butch wanted them to be stuck with a weak leader like Paulie.
There was nothing to run, the crew was dead. NY only ever tolerated them.
They didnt want to leave anyone that could rally the family behind them and had the strategic brain to hit back not only physically but in the wallet, putting a squeeze on the business or highjacking and burning it. Someone who had the ability to make alliances by reaching out tp other families or doing exactly what Tony did and persuading Phil's own family. Paulie would have been ok with the rackets, most guys know what there doing theyve been doing it for awhile and Paulie hadn't went 40 years as a gangster with only small prison sentence and some county jail bevause he was stupid. But Paulie could not have conducted a war against New York and business at the same time. Paulie would be boss in name only, new york would dictate everything to him. Someone said Carlo but that's ridiculous,Carlo is a snitch and does terrible taking over for Vito. Albert is not out of the question
@@emmashalliker6862 they did a little more than that. They were in a quarter billion dollar construction project with them. Thats set for life. John depended on and went straight to Tony for the most important and sensitive jobs and so did Carmine, They were important enough that Ralph was unkillable he was so important, how much more Tony? They had been doing close business for 40 or 50 years, long historic ties. They werent as big as New York but hardly any family in the country is. These are men who kill over an insult, you dont go decades because of there tolerance and patience. You bring money to the table and make yourself indispensable and respected
@Gold Pill Bill Carlo was a rat. Remember?
@Gold Pill Bill carlo was testifying.
Tony must have been whacked at the end of the last episode, for many of the reasons fellow Sopranos fans have already stated here in the comments. But the thing that did it for me, was the fact that in the whole run of Sopranos, the episode ending music was always good. At the end of the last episode there isn’t any music - not just a cut-to-black but no sound also....i.e. the end.
The big goodbye, really kinda sad
This video didn’t disclose anything.
They even showed the wrong Pussy by Uncle Jun at the end.
I really enjoy this channel. I love every single video, especially the sopranos vids.
Wow. You’ve given me a lot to think about.
The bathroom scene with paulie and patsy is what seals it for me. I feel it’s an important scene and we purposely weren’t told. I cannot ignore these scenes with patsy and paulie. What were they talking about hmmm I wonder
They made the deal with Butchie. Phil and Tony had to go.
Biggest mystery of the show, in NY opinion, is did Phil leotardo do any time in the can? And if so how long? They allude to it but I don't recall if they ever said it
This was an interesting take
Great explanation. I never put it together we already saw how everyone would act when Tony died.
I would have loved to see a sequel instead or a prequel. Seriously.
Carm and the kids would be on piles of pills, total basket cases, probably meet Nurse Jackie ...
Carmella: Left on her own, Paulie starts taxing her
Meadow: who cares, annoying char. Works at the bada bing.
AJ: botches revenge and gets 20 fucking years
Meadow was the only character that had a heart, maintained good morals and wasn't an overall piece of shit, AJ on the other hand annoyed the hell out of me I thought he was such a bitch lol
Carmella is working at the body shop pulling dents and waiting tables on the weekends.
In the earlier show Carmela had taken a lot of Tony’s money and invested it also she had Tony sign for trust So her and the family would do very well in deed
Carmella became a Developer building houses!
Meadow eventually graduated Law School and did marry a Black Man!
AJ, try as he might, he will never earn a button as he doesn't have the Stugots!
@@thundersquid5715 Uh, what? Meadow was a spoiled, virtue-signalling, stuck up brat. She has a massive superiority complex and her entire sense of "morality" revolves around whatever is trendy she learns in school. The only time someone like her displays good morals is so that she can feel superior to other people. I've met so many college brats _exactly_ like her in real life. She's the most insufferable character in the entire show -- but that's a good thing! When you hate a character like that, it's a sign of great writing. There are really no "good" characters with pure intentions when we're talking about The Sopranos.
It's so obvious that Tony doesn't die💯. The viewers never saw Tony get killed. They seen Richie, Bobby, Ralph, Jackie Jr and Christopher die. Make it make sense.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VOD CAUSE I WASNT ABLE TO JOIN THE LIVESTREAM
Until this very day I still say the one who gets clipped in the final episode is the viewer...
Why? Wasn't there enough signs Tony was killed?
LOL Nope
I was the viewer, and I'm not dead yet.
I think little carmine was the master planner he used new jersey to get Phil out the way
Who from the Jersey family gave the “okay” for the hit and even helped set it up?
@@Navets777 Paulie
Ok but after Phil, Butchie was next in line and it's been known Little Carmine wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Now how does Little Carmine do all of this without his advisor Rusty let alone go up against Butchie (who now like Tony told Chrissy with Phil had 200 made guys in his family) when he quit against Johnny Sack at the first sign of real trouble.
@@keithharper1470 very allegorical of you. However, he who reigns last is set to laugh the longest. And until such time.
---I disagree, I think it was Butchie the whole time. Clearing all the relevant threats to him before taking over, it’s almost a conclusion when he sets Phil up. Such an act of betrayal would always stand between he and Tony, so Tony has to go too.
This is also a stretch but if you look closely at Tony’s right side of his head (left to us) immediately before the screen cuts to black you can see a shadow show up making his skin darker, almost as if someone or a hand or gun is right next to him. 👀
That was GREAT! Loved getting to see where you guys are from. Cheers! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
The ending of the show was pretty obvious once you start noticing the details and think about it a little. We see Tony walk in the restaurant and he’s starring at himself already sitting in the booth, which is reminiscent of a scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. We hear the bell ring and see Tony look up to various people walking in till it’s his wife and son. His son walks in at the same time as a man in a members only jacket who looks back at Tony twice till he walks in the bathroom, which is also reminiscent of Tony’s favorite scene in The Godfather. We see Meadow trying to park her car delaying her meeting with her Dad. By the time she finally walks in and Tony looks up…..cut to black. Tony never got to see Meadow because he was shot dead. Likely this entire scene is Tony replaying his last moments trying to see his daughter. We’re given this hint at the beginning when we see Tony looking at himself. He’s already dead and I’m hell and his last moments are his torture because his life is now over and he’ll never get to see his beloved daughter again.
He saw his daughter. He was shot afterwards.
Micheal franzese, the only mobster to get off even said that they don't take care of mobster families when there's a death. Also he's the only exception. He said as a mobster you either get killed or go to prison
Awesome video very valid point the inverse content
Maybe Gene’s wife had Tony killed for not letting him go down to Florida and retire! Gene used to wear that members only jacket in earlier episodes of the show
You know that is the one of the most plausible theroy's. She had 2 million dollars and told Gene to kill him. I never thought of it like that.
Phil did that shit
I feel like the first episode of the season mirrors the last one. What I mean by that is that in most other shows big episodes usually end in like a cliffhanger or the biggest part of the episode. Like for example if a main character gets killed in an episode a lot of shows that character will get killed and then roll credits end of episode. But I always felt that sopranos rarely did that if someone got killed a lot of the time it was in the middle of the episode or in some cases like Christopher in the beginning. When Chris dies he dies in like the first 10 mins and then the rest of the episode is the aftermath is the rest of the episode like Paulies mother dying , their dual funerals and then tony going to Vegas and take mushrooms honestly I feel like most other shows that would have been like 3 episodes but the pacing in the sopranos is different yeah that would have been several episodes in an other show but in the sopranos did it in one and i didn’t feel rushed. ( side note I LOVE that episode) and they do that most of the time. But in the first episode uncle junior shoots Tony and thats where the episode ends. So in the finale I think it mirrors it by ending with the big event which is Tony’s death but we see it from his point of view which is just all of a sudden black.... but that’s just my opinion 🤷🏼♂️
He was wacked .i love the way you have explained it david chase basically showed us before he died
Hey thanks Cine guy. I just realized that the cut to black was Tony checking out for good from his point of view. That cleared it up for me. Just had to hear it said that way, I guess.
14 years later I never thought that we already saw what would happen when he died. Brilliant
The show was left open, that was the beauty of the ending that infuriated everyone....after James passed, I accepted that Tony was killed in that scene...but before then expected him to end up alive and the story continued at a future time.
It is poetic that his son plays a young Tony Soprano. Looking forward to the new movie.
Losing JG was a terrible loss to the acting world, he was a monster actor and the character tony soprano will live on forever
Good points. The movie was terrible very disappointing.
@@anthonyroccosr.5706 I never thought they could bring the sopranos back, once big JG passed game over for the sopranos, no movie can bring such a legend show back in any way.
Name one actor who could have stepped into those shoes, yes there are alot of great actors but none that can fill JGs shoes, tony soprano was buried whe jimmy died.
@@michaeltonner7768 yet his son can play the roll in any future prequels. I thought he was fantastic in The Many Saints of Newark....
The walrus was Paully
Turn me on deadman, or Turn ON ME leadman....whoooa🤯
Decent synopsis here and thanks for it..
Beautifully, done!
