Has everyone heard that those suspicious looking people in the diner were enemies of Tony, on past episodes? If that's the case, I would have to say that Tony, in his paranoid state (as well as a realistic fear that there are people out there who want him dead), imagined them. I say this because the people were from different parts of Tony's background, and it would be completely unlikely that they would all converge on this one little diner at the same time, or were acting in some coordinated effort (i.e. revenging Phil's death). If I'm right, then Tony was neither whacked nor arrested. How does everyone else feel about this?

You might have something there. I was thinking Phil's nephew Nikki did the hit, who was walking right in front of AJ at the entrance of the Restaurant. But come to think of it, notice AJ's body language, he was walking right behind Nikki as if Nikki did not exist (look at it again and you'll see what I mean). I thought it was an elaborate hit coordination, but if a movie comes out and it turns out to be Tony's paranoia that was the scene, I will NOT be pleased! Even the truck driver, cap and all, did seem more of a memory image than an actual truck driver brother out to avenge his brother's death from a previous episode. Same for the African American hit men too.

I think your analysis is correct. Tony was pretty paranoid right then, no, wait, you're only paranoid if they're NOT out to get you. Tony wasn't whacked. There was no point-of-view from Tony in that episode. So the cut to black at the end was not Tony being whacked - it was the series being whacked. We all should have seen it coming. But we nev

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
