Chase on the Sopranos Finale

“I have no interest in explaining, defending, reinterpreting, or adding to what is there,” he says of the final scene.

“No one was trying to be audacious, honest to God,” he adds. “We did what we thought we had to do. No one was trying to blow people’s minds, or thinking, ‘Wow, this’ll (tick) them off.’ People get the impression that you’re trying to (mess) with them and it’s not true. You’re trying to entertain them.”

It seems a bunch of my writer friends are convinced Tony got killed.  Maybe. But I think Chase could have done a better job cluing us in.

It got people talking, so I suppose in that respect it wa a success.

Interesting take on the end scene:

“Look at that last scene closely. The viewer says many of the people in that restaurant with Tony, other than his family members, are disgruntled people from his past. So he’s supposedly surrounded by people who are out to get him, if not in that restaurant, then metaphorically and literally throughout the rest of his life, which presumably will be short.

According to this viewer, the man at the bar in the restaurant is Nikki Leotardo, the nephew of Phil Leotardo, who Tony had just ordered executed. The truck driver in the restaurant is the brother of a guy Christopher robbed several seasons ago. And the two African-American men who walk into the restaurant, the viewer says, tried to kill Tony a few seasons ago, but only grazed him with a bullet.”
