Hey Soprano's fans...check this out!?

Question

I just got this email...thought it was VERY interesting:

OK, at first I was really angry. I mean really, really angry. I can't believe though that no-one has posted by now what happened. The only thing I saw that was right, was that in the last scene we are seeing through Tony's eyes. Remember when he was speaking with Bobby...basically saying that you don't see it happening?

So here is what I found out. The guy at the bar is also credited as Nikki Leotardo. The same actor played him in the first part of season 6 during a brief sit down concerning the future of Vito. That wasn't that long ago. Apparently, he is the nephew of Phil. Phil's brother Nikki Senior was killed in 1976 in a car accident. Absolutely Genius!!!! David Chase is truly rewarding the true fans who pay attention to detail.

So the point would have been that life continues and we may never know the end of the Sopranos. But if you pay attention to the history, you will find that all the answers lie in the characters in the restaurant. The trucker was the brother of the guy who was robbed by Christopher in Season 2. Remember the DVD players? The trucker had to identify the body. The boy scouts were in the train store when bobby got shot last week and the black guys at the end were the ones who tried to kill Tony and only clipped him in the ear (was that season 2 or 3?). Car jack episode

Absolutely incredible!!!! There were three people in the restaurant who had reason to kill Tony and then it just ends. This was Chase's way of proving that he will not escape his past. It will not go on forever despite that he would like it to "don't stop". Not the fans!!! Tony would like it to keep going but just as we have to say goodbye, so does he. No more Tony and I guess we are supposed to be happy that Meadow didn't get clipped as well (she would have been between the shooter and Tony) since she is the only one worth a crap in that family.

I personally think that the character that plays the "Tony" inspired role in Cleaver may reveal the true ending to Soprano's.

Stefano: I had to watch it again to see what you are talking about...and he is wearing the same outfit , it's just that he took his jacket off...and that is not Janice that walks in...it resembles her , but it's not.

Answer 1

Great details, I appreciate the insight. I think the show was great, the finale was really creative. The show is not just about blood and crime, it is about so much more.

Thanks!!!!

Answer 2

The last scene they show is of Tony (right after Meadow walks in) with his hand on the juke box. So its not through Tony's eyes.

However, I think its lame that all those people you mention are in the same place at the same time. A good story (which this is) has a begining, middle and end. There was no end, which I feel is a cop out on a great series.

Answer 3

You did your research, and some of the rest of us are catching up. Tony is dead, its just a matter of who else dies in the Soprano family.

I speculate that since the hit didn't occur until Meadow could be spotted by the shooters coming in, they were waiting for her to show to clip the whole family. (There WAS a long time lag between spotting Tony and the actual "hit".)

Remember, Phil L was VERY vindictive, and I wouldn't put it past him to order a hit, through his nephew, on the whole Soprano family in the event of his death.

Answer 4

Sometimes you have to watch stuff more than once to catch everything. I didn't get into the Sopranos until the second season and need to rent season 1 because A & E edits stuff. I believe once I watch all the episodes again I'll start catching stuff.

Answer 5

ok listen guys...u gotta wach the end of the episode again and wach closely...here is wat ull c... when tony walks into the diner he looks at himself sitting down at the table...u can be sure of this b/c he is wearing different clothes when he sits down...i dont no wtf that means...

in previous seasons it had been told to us that tony's dad
died just as his daughter (janus) walked in... if u watch closely u will see janus walk in shortly after tony sits down...this is used to
signify the possibility of that happening again...then u will c the sports store owner who tony destroyed walk in wearing a brown kinda hunting jacket... he is the guy that a couple seasons ago got into gambling trouble with tony and tony took over his store...

HE IS THE 1 WHO WACKS TONY...he comes in and sits down hunched over...hiding his eyes as not wanting to be noticed...and alas..."u probly dont even here it when it happens rite?" (this is bobby talking to tony in the 1st episode of the season...tony had this flashback as he was laying down in the last episode... there would be no reason to have had that in unless it had some huge significance)... and finally... tonys daughter walking in to c her dad get shot just as janus did so many years ago... u hear the bell of her walking in and then
blackness... nuthing...

it signifies the neverending cycle of the soprano family...aj will become tony...meadow will become janus...carmela will become livia (tonys mom)...and cycle of violence goes on and on and on....absolutlely amazing...i HATED the ending at first...but when i wached it again...and understood it...it is really the most amazing ending possible for the show...we really would not have been satisfied with the boring u c tony git shot ending... this was priceless...remember..this was not an action show...it was a drama about a FAMILY

and this my friend is what the ending was all about
