        <title>The Sopranos Series Finale — “Made in America”</title>
        <link>http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/11/The-Sopranos-Series-Finale--Made-in-America.aspx</link>
        <description>What is there to say about the last episode of THE SOPRANOS? There are no big shoot-ups, no dramatic, violent deaths, no obviously life-changing moments. There is life, and it goes on. 
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 
Despite losing his top two guys last week, things with New York appear to have calmed, and Tony&amp;rsquo;s major worries are what to do about A.J. and his desire to join the army. Paulie develops a hatred of a cat, and we learn that Meadow can&amp;rsquo;t parallel park. The minutia of everyday life has returned, and due to the fireworks of the past few episodes, we hang on every syllable and action, looking for meaning. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. 

And as always, David Chase has his way with us. He knows how invested we, the audience, have become in his characters, and he uses this episode to bring us right back to the beginning. Tony almost immediately begins recounting his tales of childhood woe when confronted with a therapist &amp;mdash; though this time the shrink is treating A.J., not him (not that he cares). Carmela worries, and Meadow whines. The only difference is the feeling of loss. No Christopher, no Silvio, No Bobby &amp;mdash; heck, no Big Pussy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <description>I was waiting all season to see what happens. Let me clarify. I’ve been waiting since season 3 when the show changed from it’s awesome first to seasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really disappointed that Chase pulled that stunt. He knows how to put a hit on a plot line, but this was a mess. Plus that John from Cincinnati sucks.</description>

            <description>was it brilliance or BS?  that's the question..I'm actually torn..If you watch and pay close attention, you'll know the meaning...the blackness means death for Tony Soprano.  This show has been his world...Its always been...the discussion with Bobby, etc...However, there are still a lot of loose ends...what happens to his family?...based on the other signs...they more than likely got it...everyone but meadow who arrived late...there it is...Chase can now do what he wants...make a movie or whatever because he never fully gave closure to his viewers in the obvious way..</description>

            <description>Jbizzy is right. It was perfectly set up to be the end of Tony. They guy who went to the bathroom was Phil's nephew. He took him out Michael Corlene style. Meadow was not killed because she's too hot to die.</description>
