The Sopranos Like everybody else I said, "That's it?" . No wait. First I said, "No bleeping way the cable went out right then!" . Then I said, "That's it?" and then I said, "That's got to be the worst ending of a series ever". We say that because the expectation was so high, and in no small part because that's what HBO pumped you to believe.
Today? It's not my show or your show. It's David Chase's show. I think he's acknowledged that he always knew how the show would end. If that's the ending, he's the artist and that's the ending.
Look Godfather III sucked. But Michael Corleone & Tom Hagen are alive, so if Francis Ford Coppolla wants to make Godfather IV ? Guess what? I'm in.
Same thing here. You've got Tony, Paulie Walnuts, and Little Stevie Van Zandt still kicking. That ain't half bad.
Finally, what if Chase never has another hit show? What if he finds himself years from today with nothing but a string of whiffs from this point? My point is, if you had a golden goose, would you kill it?  ¶ 9:18 AM
