And wasn’t the ending spectacular?
Lots of people didn’t like it. But then lots of people don’t like to think and use their creative imaginations.
Just some thoughts about the ending—won’t be a spoiler to those who have not seen it.
I would argue it was a throwback to H.G. Wells radio show “The War of the Worlds”.
In those days folks panicked and called the police because they thought there was a real alien invasion happening (in New Jersey no less :-)).
For those who don’t remember the ending of the Sopranos had folks on the phone calling their cable TV companies...
I would argue Chase knew that would happen—did it on purpose—an homage to “War of the Worlds”.
Again my opinion—but the multi-dimensionality was part of the key to understanding the Sopranos.
The ending breaks out of one dimension—into another one—and took many viewers there—literally.
The hints are when Tony’s identity is stolen in the long dream many episodes earlier...
Great stuff.
