I'd say if this still is legit, and the scene made the final cut, it ain't looking too good for Phil ;)

Kevin Finnerty......Kevin Finnerty..........Kevin Finnerty!:hidin:

:lurk: :lurk: :lurk: :lurk: :lurk: :lurk:

hope not.....

:yawn:

See you at 10:00!:hidin:

Tony takes them all out with the gun Bobby got him for his birthday.

:rotflmao:
look like Chase likes bustin' balls :rotflmao:

That bit the big one! Setup for the movie! We been played!:hs:

That was a lame ending!!!!

WTF???

I thought it was great.....

You would!:rollem:

And Phil's head goes Pop

Pop goes the weasel ,now that was good.

Hey, Chase told everyone it would have a "dark" ending--what could be darker than the screen going to black just as Tony looked up to see---Meadow? The guy coming out of the crapper with a gun leveled at him? The waitress coming with his burger? :rotf3:

It's a "write your own ending" ending ;)

very disappointing...

it sucked

when the screen went black, I started screaming, thinking I forgot to pay ther cable bill



:sleeps:

One door closes and another opens - 'cept this door never closed :wall:

I think we all wanted to see some finality :wall:

It's another Roger Clemmins deal.

Next year........"we're back". It's all about the money. Why make ground beef out of a cash cow.

Wee, wee, wee. You guys crack me up. If you want neat tidy endings, read some fairy tales. The ending was supposed to make you THINK, just like the show has always done. There will not be a movie, or a new series or anything. Chase just did what every great film maker tries to do. Get over it!

All in all It was a great series. Like most I was hoping for some closure, but I'll have to provide that myself, I'm putting 'hit' on HBO, it is getting cancelled today.

all in all the last two seasons were weak imho.....

Yeh,yeh, understood. It was thunking beautiful but it didn't address the question of what would happen since day one...

He/they could be whacked by the gangstas that were playing the jukebox. or...:huh:

Or like happens every day with most people, they got through a tough period and life continues on.:huh:

Interesting post to ponder.....

""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 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?). Absolutely incredible!!!! There were three people in the restaurant who had reason to kill Tony and then it just ends.""

Good post Bronko - Is that from memory? I can't remember yesterday, but my few remaining brain cells are coming to life with the aid of your post.

While it didn't have a black and white ending....I did like it....I thought I had it figured out till I read Bronko's piece......if thats the deal, that is incredible.

I can't take credit for that, I read it on a blog. I just found it really cool.

I figured it was business as usuall......Tony gets out of another Jam....the New York situation is done.....family is coming around....they left the gun charges thing out there.....but I didn't think he was getting whacked at the resteraunt........guess I could be wrong....thought they wanted it so Tony couldn't come back?

Werent tony and bobby talking about happens when you get wacked?? "Everything just goes black"

Jim Riome show today (he's a clown I know)
Was saying that the 'Hit" was on the audience..

I think they are making a movie, thats why...
who knows
Never had HBO regularly enough to get into it.

Sorry--no Mob hit would ever go down like that. A hit man walks into a diner, grabs a seat at the counter, lets the waitress see his face, then gets up and walks to the john, passing everyone in the place, supposedly to get a hidden gun like Michael Corleone? Meanwhile his partners wander in singly or in small groups, all letting themselves be seen?

Nope. That's Chase with a Godfather based red herring.

Mob hits happen in the blink of an eye. The hit team arrives together and carries out the hit right away--walk to the victim, guns already drawn, and blast away. Witnesses never see their face or if they do, the whole thing happened so fast they can't even give a description. If they arrive at the scene separately, one waits outside in the shadows for his partner. The classic example was the hit on Bobby--no BS, no waiting, just walk up with the gun out and start blasting.

Why would the guy have to go to the bathroom to get the gun? Why wouldn't he have it on him? Sonny knew Michael weas going to be searched before the sit-down and had the gun in place already--only way to carry it off. Why would a hitman need to go into the crapper to get the gun in that diner? Why wouldn't he have it on him and just walk up to T and start popping?

Sorry, but Bronko's info has also been debunked. The guy at the counter was a pizza shop employee they cast strictly for this show. It's not Phil's nephew or anyone else we've ever seen before.

What ? He got that info from a blog, that chit is gospel. :rotf2:

The show has fisherman sending post after post, and thinking :claps: :claps: :claps: The more I think about it the better I like the last episode. And I've never let facts get in the way before, so why start now.

AJ sure did get him a dish. :btu:

Bingo :btu:

Can you imagine the traffic today on some of the Soprano blogs? :bl:

I just wish they waited until AJs dish got the bra off too, before his Xterra went up in smoke ;)

it is what it is.........I don't need things put in a nice tidy package...I enjoyed it all...for what is was, a show that was very well written, directed and also had great acting...and always kept you guessing and wondering even right up to the end.
It had to end somewhere :jester:

:drool: :drool: I hear you there!

I was waiting for Meadow to give up her second career and show up dancing at the Bing! Ba Ba ba da bing!

Don't ever disrespect the bing!
