F***ing Sopranos (lots of spoilers)
This is off topic for this blog, but I recently caught up on the episodes of The Sopranos recently, and I'm a little bit upset. The ending (spoiler alert!) had Tony and his family getting together at a family diner a la ending of season 1. However, with some fancy cinematography, the director builds tension with close shots of some suspicious characters. Finally, the front door of the diner opens and after ten seconds of black screen, the credits roll silently.
Sick...
This ending upset me because of all the unanswered subplots. Yes, Phil Leotardo is dead. New York and New Jersey are working together, but what about AJ and his movie exec. career? What about Tony and his business and also with the feds? What about the two Arabic guys? What about Silvio Dante? Does he ever wake up? If the series ends with Tony getting whacked like many speculate who takes over Jersey? And don't forget about Carlo and how Tony and Sil thought he flipped over to being a rat. Unanswered questions, including what the fuck happened at the end of series finale.
The good thing about the ending is the same reason I hate it, ironically enough. It keeps you buzzing about what happens to the characters. However, the more and more I think about the actual plot-worth of the ending, the more I believe that it's the penultimate question mark fade-in at the "The End" screen right before the credits of a movie. And the series is over, why not satisfy the fans and say what happened to the characters in the end?
David f***ing Chase, you son of a bitch.
