You Said It
HOOV1014 says, "I see Tony living and moving onto bigger and better things. Maybe stepping into Phils position and running on of the NY families. Putting a big spin on everyone and letting Paulie take over the Jersey Boys."
Bob9322 says, "I'm still waiting for Tony and Dr. Melfi to hook up."
CLawre2799 says, "All the time that Carmela has been so distraught about her husband's line of work, she has never stopped being superior and materialistic--if Tony is dead, this will reduce Carmela to her worst nightmare!"
ChadM724 says, "'The Sopranos' has been a snap shot of Tony's mid-life crisis the way I look at it."
TurkRogers says, "Tony can certainly be a monster, but it's typically to those he's familiar with - either it's business or someone bruises his ego, or keeps him from getting his way."
Snnavel says, "The worst thing for me to see was Adriana get whacked! I loved her and the way she handled Christopher."
DaRkMaN NzA says, "This Finale was perfect, it couldn't have been written any better. For all you fans out there that want a big bang ending, then you haven't been paying attention to this series to begin with."
SGPA2ZFMLY says, "For the first time, we all got to experience Tony's life through his eyes. As Tony sat there looking at his family we actually got to see how complex and un-average his life is. His hell."
AHAJ321 says, "I love the show but I think that David Chase didn't care enough to give the fans what they wanted to see which was some type of closure either way. Way to go Chase, another disappointed fan."
Nelliesock says, "That was the worst series finale ever! I have watched every episode from the beginning and this is just not the way to end a show. My HBO will be turned off tomorrow."
