The Sopranos

[Keyser Soze]

Six Feet Under was one of the greatest finales i've ever seen.

The ambiguity of the ending is what made it so perfect.

Everyone had their own expectations on how the show should end, and they can each come to their own conclusions.

Does Tony get hauled in by the FBI?

Does Tony get whacked?

The anticipation had my heart beating out of my chest. Meadow fiddling with the parking spot just heightened my nervousness. Was something about to happen to her?

Chase never wrapped up plot lines in neat little packages and this episode is no exception.

I read a very insightful post on a Sopranos message board....

"Each person has the ability to pass their own moral judgment on Tony.

If you thought he deserved to suffer the ultimate pain, to have his actions result in the death of a loved one you probably thought Meadow was about to get in the way of a bullet intended for Tony.

If you thought he deserved justice you probably think he was about to get pulled in by the FBI and thrown in jail.

If you though he was a good guy...well then maybe nothing happened.

And if you really don't know what to think...well that's the point.

To have come up with some sort of definitive ending would be for Chase to pass judgment on Tony, instead he leaves that up to us."
