RIP: The Sopranos
Well, last nite was the final episiode of The Sopranos. I can't say that I enjoyed it. I turned off the tv lasat nite more confused than ever. I rmember telling Mr. K "That episode sucked". But the more I think about it the more I believe that David Chase did us a favor by not giving it an predictable ending. Maybe Tony did get popped in the end? Or maybe it was Meadow? Who knows.
There is a nice article about this last episode on nj.com. The author, Alan Sipenwall, tells us tat compares that a poster on the nj.com blogs compared that last nine epsiodes of the season to the nine rings of Hell from Dante's "The Divine Comedy". He also poitned out that another reader found similarities between the Eugene Delacroix painting "The Barque of Dante" and the Annie Leibovitz photo from the season five DVD set. Freaky huh?
Anyway, I am sure that we all have mixed feelings about what we saw last nite. At least Silvio is alive (somewhat) and I know I enjoyed Paulie's antics with the cat. I look forward to re-visiting my favorite mobsters on DVD and on A&E.
