From the Horses mouth so to speak
'Sopranos' creator: 'We did what we had to do' by Alan Sepinwall, Mon, 8:50 PM What do you do when your TV world ends? You go to dinner, then keep quiet. Sunday night, "Sopranos" creator David Chase took his wife out for dinner in France, where he's fled to avoid "all the Monday morning quarterbacking" about the show's finale. After this exclusive interview with the Star-Ledger, agreed to well before the season began, he intends to go into radio silence, letting the work -- especially the controversial final scene -- speak for itself. "No one was trying to be audacious, honest to god," Chase said. "We did what we thought we had to do. No one was trying to blow people's minds, or thinking, 'Wow, this'll (tick) them off.' People get the impression that you're trying to (mess) with them and it's not true. You're trying to entertain them." Read the full story in Tuesday's Star-Ledger. |

And if that is true, then it provides further ammo to the critics that say David Chase is a selfish jerk that couldn't nut up and give the fans a real ending. The Sopranos was a television series, albeit a fantastic one, but still just a television series; Chase didn't create a new universe or galaxy. Give the fans a true ending to a show they've lived and died with for 8+ years.
If this is what Chase truly envisioned, then to me he just comes off a pompous tool, and IMO if we never get closure then it will cloud the greatness of the series forever. |

The ending sucked, much like the show for the past 2 seasons.

Kitty, Kitty, Kitty..................................
I liked the ending. A metaphor for the potential MOB whack job. By the bullet. Whether it be by lead or trans fat. The shit will kill ya.
I wish the closing scene would have been the cat licking his balls.
