Endings...

Now I will be the first to say that I was not a big Sopranos fan. The years
in between seasons was enought to lose my interest. I saw this on craigs
list and thought it may explain the big ending and questions left by it. I
still have to make time to catch it, but its no big deal is I don't. I
almost feel like the two guys at the end of the Truman show; "See what else
is on".

Spoilers...??? Its not like when you find out that Darth Vader is Lukes
father , it still planet earth, bruce willis is dead or Snape kills
Dumbledor.

Peace.

TONY SOPRANO IS DEAD!!! read for yourself....

In fact, the ending was genius if you've paid attention to the show or are
just a fan of well developed well thought out plots that all tie together
and have the memory of a champ to remember it all the ending was simple, he
got killed, but let me tell y'all why and explain in detail... There was 4
people in the room total who had a reason to kill tony.....

The two black guys were paid before to kill Tony when his mother put a hit
out on him but he was clipped in the ear in Season One.

The trucker at the booth near Tony was the brother of a Trucker,
Christopher killed in DVD player robbery. We last saw the brother when he
went to identify his dead brother's body.

And lastly, from the earlier seasons, the Italian man who was sitting at
the counter stool, who the camera kept focusing in on, is Nikki Leotardo,
Phil Leotardos nephew. He was in one of the early season episodes where
Phil and Tony have a sit down....

Here is where the genius comes in....

When Tony walks into the Holston's, you see the camera focus on him, then
it switches to his perspective, and you see him looking @ the booth hes
gonna sit at...

Then the camera switches back to Tony's face, then it once again
switches to his perspective, and it shows him looking @ the door and
looking @ the people come in..... Everytime the door opens the chimes
sound.......

Carmela walks in, Chimes.
AJ walks in, Chimes.

This all happens while Meadow is parallel parking, still trying to get
inside the restaurant....

At this point the camera switches back Nikki Leotardo who goes in the
bathroom...

Then it goes to a scene where Meadow finally parks and starts running into
the diner...

The door is about to open, Tony looks up...

and No Chimes...

No Music...

Everything just goes black...

In one of the early episodes of the Sopranos, Tonys is talking with Bobby
about what it must feel like to die.

Bobby says, "at the end, you probably dont hear anything, everything just
goes black!"

This idea was revisited in the second to last episode during the
last seconds of it, when Tony is about to go to sleep and he flashes back
to the memory of him and Bobby on the boat... "You probably dont hear
anything everything just goes black"

So in the end, the Journey song was playing, the chimes on the door sounded
but when Meadow came in, someone killed Tony.

This is the reason you didn't hear or see shit when he died.... it was from
his perspective... and everything went black, then the credits.

bada bing!!
