The Sopranos

I didn’t see the final episode of The Sopranos, but I thought that it has caused enough of a ruckus that it needs to appear here. Bumbshack apparently broke the story that David Chase explained the shows weak finale to the New Jersey Star Ledger. The New Jersey Star Ledger described the end like this:
In that scene, mob boss Tony Soprano waited at a Bloomfield ice cream parlor for his family to arrive, one by one. What was a seemingly benign family outing was shot and cut as the preamble to a tragedy, with Tony suspiciously eyeing one patron after another, the camera dwelling a little too long on Meadow’s parallel parking and a man in a Members Only jacket’s walk to the men’s room. Just as the tension had been ratched up to unbearable levels, the series cut to black in mid-scene (and mid song) with no resolution.
Not having seen any of the show, I can only hypothesize as to what it means.
- Tony gets whacked from behind or from the side. He never sees it coming.
- Nothing unusual happens, and life contines as usual for the family, and a movie which isn’t reportedly in the works comes to the barganing table in a couple years.
- Tony is a homicial bomber and blows up the ice cream shop.
- Someone else blows up the ice cream shop and Tony is at or near enough the explosion that he never sees it coming.
