Everyone saw it. Everyone argued about. Now, everyone is starting the
parodies. The final few moments of 'The Sopranos' was one of those
sublime cultural moments that come along all to infrequently. The brilliantly maddening final scene most reminds me of late era Stanley Kubrick (ahh, if only the 'Eyes Wide Shut' orgy scene had been scored to REO Speedwagon) in it's cool distanced quality as if we are watching the frame through another frame. It was in almost every way the perfect ending. The myriad of fan endings (Tony whacked, Meadow whacked, Tony turns rat) were all too limited, a final page on a show that has never shown any instance in neat & tidy closure. Believe me, if Tony had gotten shot in that diner, no one would be talking about 'The Sopranos' finale two weeks later.
