Sopranos Ending
I have to admit, now that I've had a couple of days to think about it, that I am really disappointed in the ending. I know the show broke ground with television programming. And I know that the artist community probably thinks it's a wonderful ending. But I, personally, wanted some kind of closure to the series. After all, it's not a Sundance Film Festival winner. It's a TV show about the mafia.
I will admit the ending was unusual for a show that has been for the most part terrific. I have heard some of the theories about how it would have ended if the final 30 seconds were not a blank silent screen, but I think the creator, David Chase, wanted to leave it up to the viewers to decide how it was suppose to close out. I like that idea. So my ending is something like this.
AJ crashes his BMW into a Newsday delivery truck and goes to work for the Girl Scouts
Meadow fails her bar exam after finishing law school and goes back to Nassau Community to get a degree in computer science. She ends up single.
Carmella spends time at a condo in the Bahamas she bought with money she made selling homes.
Sil gets better, takes guitar lessons, and joins a rock band.
Tony is shot, again, but survives, again, and leaves the mob to sell software for a large technology company.
