What'd you think? I loved it.
As I was being led to.. I kept waiting for something awful to happen at the diner, but then that Blackout scared me the shit out of me.. I thought my download didn't work or something. It was great. I love dit.

I thought something big was going to happen in the diner, too! I was tense and had a nervous feeling in my stomach. So then after the blackout my first reaction was anger and disappointment. But now that I’ve had time to think about it, it's kind of nice that it was so ambiguous. Let people imagine their own continuation of the story and characters.
The bit with the cat staring at Christopher's photo was hilarious.

So Jason are you in the "tony is dead" camp?

not at all.
Tony is not dead.
Just like life, we don't know what's going to happen.
Listen to the lyrics. It's about Tony and his futile attempts to be "normal".

I don't watch this show, but every morning news program was about the uproar over how bad it was. This board apparently features much of the 1% who liked it.
And in an unheard level of spoilerness, everyone was airing the actual last 30 seconds of the show. I saw it twice on WGN this morning. I have no way of knowing whether it was good, but that blackout was pretty weirdly timed. I guess there was years and years of tension building up to that blackout, but it still seemed like more of an artistic non-sequitor than anything else I remember hearing about that show.

It was the Sopranos that prompted HBO to use the motto: "It's Not TV. It's HBO."
It's the tv-addicted fanboys that are crying foul.
It's the people who crave season cliff-hangers and cameos and massacres who are dissappointed. If it ended with a stereotypical shoot-out and "big" killing I would have loved it, but this ended was artistic and smart and completely surprising.
I liked it.

Cool!
I don't know if I'll ever get into the show, it was cool to hear they didn't go out trying to be ultraviolent.

I just read about it. |

It was pretty funny when it happened.
but they didn't show it... they showed people's reactions.

Poor Philly.
Oh wait, I hated that guy. F him. I'm glad his melon got superfluously crushed. It's gonna have to be a closed casket now.
My favorite part of the ending was the guy heading to the bathroom... every single person who was watching went "OMGodfather!!!11!1one!1!" and then nothing happened.
I think Tony is alive... to me the scene was about how his life will never be "normal" even as they returned to the family dinner. Everywhere he goes, every door that opens, he has to wonder if it is someone coming after him.
