Worst gambler ever
sopranos end
I thought the last episode was pretty effing cool. Thoughts?

Mixed feelings. I was frustrated that they didn't tie any of the loose ends up but I was also impressed that they didn't tie any of the loose ends up. Life doesn't actually tie up loose ends, of course.
I was gratified to see Phil's life end in such an . . . appropriate manner.

Yeah, I dig it. Philly going the way he did was cool. But the end, the black, I thought was cool. A unique way of sending all the implications, knowing what happened, without seeing what happened.

Left it up to our imaginations, they did. The bastards.
Yes, it was innovative and probably appropriate. You went into it -- I did, certainly, and I expect that most did as well -- certain that they'd have to bring some sort of definitive end to Tony's career. A door just had to close, didn't it? We weren't sure which one but we knew there was one. But they tripped us up.

I never watched this show. Everyone at work is complaining about the ending this morning though. It's times like this I feel like yelling out, there's a war going on, you know! Not you guys, I know you guys know about that. But I never heard these guys talk about anything other than television and sports. One day, I probably will yell it out.

I stopped watching after the third season because it was phull of suck after that point and just adding more stink to the pile.Originally Posted by Darla
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

I don't know Darla. Its probably best to not talk about politics at work. Television shows are relatively benign. I don't think I really want to know the political affiliations and beliefs of some of my coworkers. Stuff like the Soprano's, Idol, and other mindless reality TV shows keep the air light hearted.

Yeah, that's true. It annoys me though.

Same here, never watched the show. guess I am just unamerican.
But then I recall from amny years ago going into work in Beaverton Oregon on day and everyone is talking about this JR guy that got murdered. I kept thinking who is JR ? Then I found out it was a stupid soap opera.

***SPOILERS****Same shit I posted on that other forum but no one over there watches it apparently.
I could see it 2 ways really. Bobby and Tony on the boat were talking on the boat earlier in the season and it flashed back to that again last week so it must have been important.
They were talking about whether you hear the one that gets you and what happens when you die. Everything goes blank.
Or all of that crazy tension of the last 10 minutes was just a brilliant way of making you feel what Tony feels every day of his life. That would make the song more appropriate if you listen to the lyrics during that scene.
Either way it was good.

I only watched this program one time at a friends house as my cable channel does not get this program...it was funny but hit too close to home as my Grandfather on Moms side was from Sicily and the characters reminded me of him...lotsa Cuban cigars,Italian rants, arms flailing...and talk of the old country...

I didn't actually see the whole episode, but from what I've heard, it definitely proved to be a good one. I think I liked the black screen at the end. And from what I've heard, I definitely think he dies in the end, however, at the same time you don't necessarily want to see the hero of the series go down in such a bloody manner. Also, it could just be from his perspective.....everything goes black after he sees the guy coming in.

Like a handful of the very best television shows, The Sopranos qualifies as art, I think. There's real substance to it. And, like any serious art, it's not going to appeal to everyone.
I'm a bit impressed that something so comparatively difficult and rough edged became so popular. That's a rare combination: most of the best shows on television have only niche audiences.
