Every other season had an ending. Tony eats dinner with his family in the comfort of Arties during a storm. End Season One. Tony smokes cigar, thinks about Big Pussy. End Season Two. The family has dinner after Jackie Jr's funeral. Meadow gets pissed and runs away from her father. End Season Three. And so on and so forth. The Sopranos always ended as tidy as it could or it would set us up for the next season. Lets say you are reading a great novel. The climax is coming. Will our hero live or die? Will he get The Woman? No. Nothing happens. It just says THE END. Or you are watching a crucial basketball game. The Lakers are trying to come back in the final seconds. You got a lot riding on this game. 10 seconds to go and...the screen goes black. David Chase may be a genius for creating The Sopranos and crafting it his way but that cut to black was just a slap in the face of every fan who adored this show. I guess egotism comes with genius.

I thought it was brilliant and i assure you im not pretending. He ended the show in his own abstract way which is how he has operated ever since the show started. You may not have been "satisfied" the way you thought you would be .. but are you going to deny that your heart was pounding in those final seconds? Isn't that his job to provide entertainment? Just because its not in the spoonfed way you'd like it to be .. it doesn't mean that everyone has to feel that way. As much as people are pissed today .. i dont think there is any other way Chase could have ended it that would leave people talking like they are today. And at the end of the day .. it is his show and he has provided me with enough entertainment over the years that I'll cut him a little slack on the unusual ending.
