David Chase knew exactly what he was doing. The show ended when Phil went all melonhead. Everything after that was an epilogue and sneak peak to the upcoming movie.

My favorite scene? "HA! We're gonna win this thing!":rofl
That character got a lot of play in the last few episodes. Watch for him to be a major player in the film.

I thought it was as perfect as it could be.

No matter what happened, people were gonna whine. It seems most wanted your typical mafia bloodbath ending.

I'm glad they didn't, it's completely overdone.

I fell out of my chair laughing at the people's reactions during Phil's last scene.

I didnt think of it that way until now.   The screen went blank and I thought something happened to my dish or the reciever.   would make sense though, that one guy walked to the bathroom and then came back behind him and pop.... end of show...

Exactly Crockett...Thats what happened IMO.  David Chase emphasized this in the first episode of season 6B, and the previous episode to the finale.  He gave us all the hints, and this is the only logical ending I can come up with.  We see camera shots from Tony's point of view several times as he comes through the door, and this was his final shot.  The 6-7 seconds of blackness was part of the episode.  Didn't go to credits immediately.  Furthermore, this was the only sopranos where no music was played during the credits.

Tony is dead.

Yep, Michael Corleone, in the bathroom, with revolver.

interesting take on it cav.  

im thinking of that conversation with bobby where he was talking about not even seeing it coming.

now i am seeing the scene playing out beyond the darkness...carmilla with blood on her face and hair wiping his face with his head in her lap... AJ freaking out...meadow crying and screaming for a doctor...

Who would want to hit him? Phil is dead and he had the blessing to "do what you gotta do" from the new boss.

The escaped Russian for one. Phil's duplicitous family for another; wouldn't be the first time a truce was broken.

lmfao.  He was the fictitious crime boss who many could consider responsible (directly or not) to the murder of dozens of people, the disruption of countless lives, and the loss of enormous sums of money.  I think there might be one or two people who would have a gripe with him.

Naa, it makes more sense that he got busted. If Tony's dead, who's gonna star in the movie? David Chase is genius at playing headgames. He's got everyone writing their own ending.

But there is one thing that we know for sure, Sil lives!!!

Everybody content and smiling at each other, then sudden fade to black for 6 seconds, no music as the credits run.

Tony's story is ovah. Fuggedaboudditt.
