The Final Aria
Just so you know we have the same concerns as the average American, we bring you the controversial final scene of The Sopranos, so you can watch and re-watch over and over and try to convince yourself that some random dude killed Tony just because you pathetically need some sort of closure.
Oh, and, um, should you have been so heartless and un-American as to be doing something else last night instead of participating in one of the most important cultural events of the last decade, then you might not want to watch.
UPDATE: HBO took the video down. Thanks, turnitout.

Why Sopranos left us hanging
David Chase won't ever explain what he was thinking for a couple of reasons...
First, TV, film, novels were invented to tell stories...beginning, middle, and end. Eventually, story tellers like David Chase got tired of the constraints of that narrow narrative limitation. Sopranos was successful and watchable because it was different. It told the story from a new perspective. We shouldn't expect a typical ending from a man like David Chase.
The ending is the modern art ending. You get to decide. Most people don't like that in a story. Closure matters to most people. Typical storyline development makes everyone comfortable and I don't think it is David Chase's intention to create comforting entertainment.
The feeling it left me with was that this is how it is to be Tony Soprano. Even in the most mundane of settings with the intimacy of your own family the threat of danger is everywhere. The tension, the sense of uncertainty is always there and there is no way of knowing is this it? Is this the second it will fade to black?
What did it leave you with?
