Sopranos: What. Was. That.

Wha???

Tonight's series finale had everything you could want in an episode. It was truly an "explosive finale" - if you count AJ's SUV catching fire in the woods. But the fun doesn't stop there. We also have a cat that stares at a picture of Christopher. AJ wanting to join the Army, but then deciding against it once his parents buy him a BMW and give him a job as assistant to a movie producer. Me wanting to murder AJ in every scene he was in. Janice giving more “woe is me” crap. And, last but not least, a final scene involving the family sitting down to dinner at a restaurant -- and no fewer than 3 shots of Meadow trying to parallel park!!! -- set to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’”. Yeah, that seems like a great way to end a great show. I actually thought my picture and sound cut out. The last line of an iconic series was about onion rings? The screen went blank for a good 30 seconds, and I just laughed and laughed. Ugh.

You can't argue with the sequence where Phil was killed though. Shot in the head in front of his wife, SUV runs over his head, kid in the parking lot puking. Totally rewind-worthy.

I really feel cheated. My heart was beating so fast when they were in the restaurant because I was ready for something CRAZY to happen.
We definitely thought our cable went out too. They were practically mid-sentence when it went black.
Do you think they did that because they're going to do a movie?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
