I just got back from 3 weeks of conferences (Compuware Partner Conference, IBM Rational Software Conference, HP Software Universe) and was in on the Disney compound for Rational when the last episode of the Sopranos ran.   Disney does not have a deal with HBO, so believe it or not, nowhere on their property could we see the last episode.  Luckily Joe Mundy, RTTS' Southeast Regional Manager, lives in Orlando and we were able to persuade (beg) him to have us over.    My take on the "black out" ending by David Chase is this:  he copped out in case he wants to do a feature movie.  This way he can say no one was killed and he can bring Silvio out of his coma.

Since I have been watching it since the beginning and since it was not completed, I would like to finish it for Mr. Chase.  Here goes...

Two hit men were sent in to do the job.  AJ goes first.  I am tired of his act.  Tony and Carmella go together, in each other's arms.  As the hit men are leaving, they notice Meadow coming in.  They bump her off also.  Now - just to clean up any lose ends via the Soprano family, one shooter pays a visit to Janice and gives her the Adriana treatment (is everyone as sick of Janice as I am?).  The other goes to the hospital and gives Sil the Christopher Maltisanti breathing course. As he is leaving after the hit, he places a call to his boss to inform him that the task has been completed.  Cut to Paulie Walnuts putting down the phone, smoking a cigar and toasting himself as the new boss.  Now - fade to black.

There you go - I ended for you.  Any questions?
