The Sopranos Ends With a ...

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the quick-complain-in-the-forums dept.

If you still have your copy sitting unwatched on your Tivo, I'd suggest that you stop reading before you are spoiled. The show is done at last and apparently fans are freaking out over the bizarre ending. At my house, we thought at first that the DVR crashed until the credits appeared in silence. Personally I thought that a show known for such excess tried to take an artful bow: It didn't work for me, but I get it at least. Anyway, I had a number of Sopranos submissions this morning and figured I'd just post this comment to give people who were interested in discussing the end of the show a nice place to discuss before they cancel their HBO.

    Whats the connection? Has this become a movie/tv site?

      They're testing their new "-1000000000000 Offtopic" rating designator. But now it's for stories instead.

    I'm reminded of the utter ripoff I felt when I saw the last episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. GAAAH the pain! The agony! Why did you have to bring this up? Back then, I felt so deceived. Later on, after the trembling and self-clutching and the head-against-wall-bouncing, I started to think better of NGE's ending. NGE's main themes had been perception of self, identity crisis, fear of abandonment etc. for the whole series. Sure, I didn't like it when they did not bother to explain anything about the background story, but the movies make up for that.

    Why does everyone complain about the end of Evangelion? I thought it was perfect.

    Yeah, I meant the end of the tv series. I thought it was great the way shinji worked through his mental breakdown and came out of it a better person. That is what evangelion is really all about. The giant robots fighting angels is just the background on which the story happens.

    At the risk of wandering slightly off-topic, the theme tune ("Woke up this morning") is by the UK - Brixton! - band Alabama 3, who absolutely fucking rock live. Highly recommended if you get the chance to see 'em live.

    I never thought to see a news like this in Slashdot, yet, i never watched the Sopranos either, the closest thing to watching it was an episode of the Simpsons where they play the music with chief Wiggum going on his car as if he was Tony Soprano, I have to admit i did see the intro to the show once and I like the music. Its funny that Slashdot posted this story on the front page, yet my journal story about itunes including users names and accounts numbers in itunes store songs files didn't make it.

    The ringwraiths were on a mission of stealth. Though they did win a battle with the Rangers at Tharbad according to Unfinished Tales, Sauron wasn't about to use up his fiercest weapons so early in the war, for many reasons. Revealing them clearly would urge everyone on the sidelines to prepare, and a trail of dead bodies kind of makes it hard to tail the ringbearer all quiet-like. Also, the ringwraiths' innate power was tied to Sauron's, and he was still recovering his strength.

    It climaxed in the penultimate episode of the season... Really? Then why is everyone talking about the climax in the season's ultimate episode?

    ultimate = last
    penultimate = next to last (nearly last)

    It's just like:

    insula = island
    peninsula = nearly an island

    I am not one for the 'it doesn't belong on slashdot' complaint, but I can not see if the slightest reason this should be on slashdot.

    And no, it doesn't matter.
    Maybe next week we can have stories about American Idol and which TV anchor has the best fuckin' hair.
