The New Road

I'll have to watch the last scene of final again a couple of times. There was just too much happening there that seemed odd. The way that Tony walks in to seem himself in a different outfit. The names of the songs as he flips through. What was said. The purposely distracting cuts to the other people in the restaurant. The scenes of Meadow trying to parallel park over and over. The whole scene was put together too well to be pointless.

But then, really, why do I care? It's just a show. Would I have liked an ending where we see what happens to everyone instead of just going to black? Yes. But then it wouldn't be The Sopranos.

In hindsight, I kinda liked it. It's more evidence of the reason I like the show and HBO in general. If you want something that has perfect cliffhangers at the end of every season, and cut and dry character threads, watch CBS, NBC or ABC, and get what you pay for. If you want something that is closer to life and shows just how messy the real world in, tune into HBO.
