re: Just finished The Sopranos - Question *Spoilers

I tend to think Chase is showing Tony's fate as someone who'll be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life, knowing the inevitable may always be just a moment away. Pay attention to the song Tony was listening to at the table: I believe Chase didn't pick it randomly...

Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on

I refuse to believe this because it would so lame. Him getting murdered without any context was lame enough but at least that takes balls. Plus they beat it over the head with the "you never see it coming" line

Just ending the show and saying "hey the story goes on but i am sick of doing it" is bs. That like writing a book and leaving out the last chapter

this quote from chase always rubbed me the wrong way

There was so much more to say than could have been conveyed by an image of Tony facedown in a bowl of onion rings with a bullet in his head. Or, on the other side, taking over the New York mob. The way I see it is that Tony Soprano had been peoples' alter ego. They had gleefully watched him rob, kill, pillage, lie, and cheat. They had cheered him on. And then, all of a sudden, they wanted to see him punished for all that. They wanted "justice." They wanted to see his brains splattered on the wall. I thought that was disgusting, frankly. [...] The pathetic thing—to me—was how much they wanted his blood, after cheering him on for eight years.

as tony said himself "only two ways out dead or in jail" people tend to have an expectation of mafia arc. He just wanted to be edgy.
