Stopped at the house used as the Tony Soprano home in NJ. Recently sold for 3.5 mill 5k+ sqf

Ate at Holstens too had a burger where they shot the last scene in the finale.

Great series

One of the absolute worst finales of all-time.

Agreed.

First Joel trolls Wave, now Abe trolls me?

The style brothers are under attack.

Shazam, to get back on topic - it's a great show, really is, and the acting is top notch. I just hated the finale because, quite frankly, it was fake smart, and quite stupid. The director then explaining it a few years later just made it all the more absurd, too. Point being, it couldn't ruin how great that show was, but it did detract from it.

I thought the ending was 'good'...The fact that its still a topic of conversation speaks to its creativity.

IMO...

I thought S5 ending woulda been perfect to leave it as an ending IF they wanted to see Soprano get off the hook completely.

I thought The Shield had a much better ending for Vic Mackey. A torture to him worse than death.

The food at Holstens was disappointing. Burger was small.

The Shield is kindof a lame name for a show. I'll pass on that one, but maybe I'll do The Sopranos.

Nah bro best cop show EVER The Shield will change your tv expectations. To me shows like Law and Order and NCIS are unwatchable in comparison

They wanted to call it Rampart the trailers referred to it as Rampart after the LAPD scandal but FX got a lotta flak for it

I find cop shows rather boring. Unless Family Matters is considered a cop show.

It just felt after S2 it was different. Ciferetto was never as good an antagonist to Tony as Richie Aprile was in 2. And Blundetto in S5 ws terrible too. Feech should have been around longer. S6 P1? UGH.

I have minimum complaints though. Great series.

I think S5 was perfect ending shoulda left it alone.

Game of Thrones was close behind, S7 fell apart.

My favorite show of all time.

Though I'll be honest - I tried to get my GF into it and I feel like the pilot episode doesn't hold up very well. I think it hit its stride as it went along.

Sometimes pilots are like that. The Shield was like that too until the end of the ep OH ****.

Midsommer is pretty good. Would be an excellent series.

That was the point. They knew they weren’t.

How about the sex scene and the ladies helping.

Tony and his family had dinner.

Right. However, we saw a guy was sitting on a stool and he kept staring at the Sopranos family. Then, he walked out and Soprano's daughter was about to walk in. Tony looked up to the front door.... the show is ended.

1. Did someone shoot Tony's daughter or Tony got shot?

Tony got it.

In S6 p2 E1 when he and Bobby Bacala are on the boat, Bobby says when it happens 'you probably never even see it coming'. This was reflected again by Tony in the penultimate ep too after Bobby was murdered, so it was a reminder.

My take on that final scene is that we don't know. And the point being driven home is that Tony doesn't know either. All of his life, he'll be wondering whether or not someone is around the next corner ready to knock him off. Every time he sits down in a restaurant with his family, he'll have to wonder about who's coming through the door etc. In other words, he'll never really be free of that anxiety.

That's what makes that ending so brilliant imo.

Taht angle too, with him always looking at the door. The other way works too. Its open to interpretation. The fact we're talking about it 10 years later is its brilliance.
