Warning! Spoiler alert.
Like everyone else who watched the finale, Candace and I thought that the satellite feed had gone out when Tony looked up and the screen went black.
Such an abrupt cut after so many minutes of building suspense makes sense best if you buy the theory that David Chase went ahead and whacked us, the viewers. It’s my favorite interpretation, and I think it’s brilliant.
Looking back, the episode where Tony and Christopher steal, drink and proceed to sell a few cases of Pichon Lalande (for only $300!) is still a favorite, but I was happy to see the show go out with a bang.
Even if it was us that took the bullet instead of Tony.
