OK, I watched the Soprano's Series finale tonight. I'm a fan. i've watched and enjoyed every season. Every episode. This last (bifurcated) season has been the worst by far. We spend the first 1/2 of the season watching Tony in his dreamworld, wandering through meaningless crap. the rest of the season gives us the end/final direction of all the major players. each one handled as if it were an afterthought. Nothing, and i mean NOTHING has been handled on par with the handling of any of the other characters, on any of the other episodes, on any of the other seasons. I could have taken any of the possible resolutions or final direction(s) for the characters on this series. What i got was an answer to nothing. my cable could have been cut off during the show (and it seemed like it was at the end!) and i would have had not missed a thing. As a matter of fact, if i missed this episode completely it would have not mattered at all.
the acting and story were actually decent. For a series finale...for a series of this magnitude...? worthless.

You should read this...
TV writer Bob Harris looks at the Sopranos finale and breaks down the symbolism. Last Supper, a coffin, orange everywhere, family wearing black, Journey, and onion rings as the Eucharist. What do you think -- is this what David Chase was trying to say?
