I had never watched an episode of the Sopranos until the well-publicized show finale last week. I wasn’t a big fan of the ending, but I also had no background to go off of.
Speaking of no background…Â Hillary’s campaign unveiled their new theme song, which I won’t even get started on, by doing their own version of the Sopranos finale.
All I can do is sigh. The only redeeming quality in this video is Bill’s “What, no onion rings?”
OK, the Sopranos ending, I think David Chase is a genius. I had left the Sopranos about 4 or 5 years ago and when I first heard about the ending, my first reaction was wtf? Then I heard in the next-to-last episode they talked about it and Tony (I think) said you probably don’t even hear anything when you die. So the last 10 seconds is Tony as a dead man. So Tony did die. And because much of the series was from his perspective, the 10 seconds was you seeing it through his eyes … as a dead man.
