Can’t. Talk. Speechless. WTF?! Don’t stop believin’?
P.S. No, that is not your DVR crapping out. That’s really the end.
Just for the record I tried to search for a couple of Sopranos forums to see what the consensus on the final episode was. So far they’re all down, even HBO.com, presumably from the avalanche of people that are all trying to get a hold of David Chase’s home address.
What did you think of the Sopranos' final episode?
So I felt the need to add another poll after hearing this theory on HBO.com which seems to be back up now.
Was the cut to black Tony getting whacked?

Want a neat little picture by your comments? Get one here.I’m a little freaked by this ending! I thought my tv went on the blink right when the restuarant was supposed to blow up. What kind of ending is this? It’s a non-ending. I don’t know if they have plans for a movie or something, but I think they should of tried a little harder to bring the series to a real close.

I just read another blog’s comments and someone nailed it … recently Tony asked Bobby what it’s like and he say’s “I guess it just goes black” … they flash back to this on the 2nd last episode … when Tony dies everything goes black and that’s how it ended.

It’s funny how many people use WTF when referring to the way this episode ends. Also, how many people thought their dvr had taken a dump

I agree, my first thought was my tv screwed up … but after reading a bit I realized that Tony did get whacked and I liked it. They leave a lot of loose ends, but that’s what happens when you die suddenly … it’s are imitating life … everything doesn’t get wrapped up in a neat little package … it just goes black.

Who cares? I was watching Pink Floyd on public TV and was happy and content.

Tony getting whacked is still up for interpretation at this point though.
Tony getting whacked doesn’t seem to make much sense though. Who is left that would want to whack him? It’s been shown over and over that everybody pretty much wants peace and to make money.
Yeah, it does cut to black, and they did sort of reference that with Tony and Bobby, but with Phil gone, who’s left to want Tony dead?

They guy that worked for Phil would want Tony dead … although he wanted peace, he must have realized that Tony would take revenge and if Sil survived, he would definetly want revenge.
I can’t see any other meaning in it going black … unless it’s just a set up for a movie, but I don’t believe that.

The guys that worked for Phil were at the sitdown in the warehouse. They OK’d the hit on Phil.
The only thing that doesn’t make sense about Tony getting whacked is that the very last shot was from the audience perspective, not from Tony’s.
If the last shot was from Tony’s perspective and then cut to black I might be able to buy more into the Tony getting whacked theory.

There is another theory floating around about Meadow slipping on a banana peel and hitting her head … and then it goes black.

There’s no movie coming, and Tony didn’t die. The writers and directors just decided to be avant guarde. The only thing they forgot was to flash ‘Fin’ just before the credits.

Let me clarify some things for everybody. People keep saying that nobody had any reason to whack Tony at the end. Thats wrong. NY OK’d the Phil hit, but NEVER in front of personal family like that. Tony was indeed killed, meticulously waiting for all members of Tony’s family to arrive at the diner so that they all witnessed the hit. For the NY mob boss to go out like that re-opened some personal feelings which caused him to have the favor returned.
Phil was killed when he least expected it, saying “bye bye, grandpop” to his grandkids, in front of his real family. The only logical payback would be to return the favor to the Soprano family.
David Chase spelled it out pretty clear with the Bobby conversation about everything going black. And the nail in the coffin is the way the final scene went down. Each Soprano arrived, one by one, to meet Tony. When the final piece was in place, i.e. Meadow walking thru the door, the bathroom guy put a bullet thru his head. Even the circumstances were the same as Phils hit. I.e. Tony was totally happy and off-gaurd, chatting with his family. The hits of each mob boss was earily similar. Tony was killed.

Unless you’re secretly posting as David Chase then you can’t say that for sure. The ending was left purposefully ambiguous, it was an artistic choice. To say Tony was killed for certain is to completely miss the point of the ending.
Even Chase himself says in this interview that doing a movie would let you know that Tony wasn’t killed. Meaning he doesn’t want it clarified.

But Chase doesn’t completely rule out a movie:
And if you think Chase purposely made the series ending ambiguous in order to set up a potential “Sopranos” movie, you got another thing comin’. “I don’t think about [a movie] much,” he said. “I never say never. An idea could pop into my head where I would go, ‘Wow, that would make a great movie,’ but I doubt it … I’m not being coy. If something appeared that really made a good ‘Sopranos’ movie and you could invest in it and everybody else wanted to do it, I would do it. But I think we’ve kind of said it and done it.”

Not ruling out a movie to me follows that there’s no way that Tony is definitely dead. Could you imagine a Sopranos movie without Tony?
