[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some posters are being too superficial.  I highly recommend this in-depth analysis of what happened by Mike Cole http://mikecole.org/the-sopranos-ending-made-in-america/

To summarize the ending:

"However, The Sopranos is first and foremost a work of fiction. And as such, it is likely subject to all the plot development devices commonly employed by authors of fiction including: dramatic irony, symbolism, and meaningful scene sequencing. Using an understanding of these techniques to glean clues from the final two episodes, we can clearly conclude the following:

Tony was indeed "whacked"
Carmela and AJ also were killed
Meadow lived
Patsy Parisi betrayed Tony
AJ inadvertently facilitated the murders
Rhiannon was an unwitting accomplice for the murders"

Definitely worth your time if you are a Sopranos fan!

It’s fiction but it lives in Tony’s world.  It is not fantasy.  A dragon did not come and burn them.  A hit on a mafia boss requires the unanimous approval of the Commission in advance.  If not everyone involved will be killed.  Story does not lay the groundwork for that.  Also never would the hit include family.  If Tony was to be hit, a close friend would have picked him up somewhere to do something and killed him.  One of his own people.

Fiction but you are still stuck in the world you live in.  If you don’t do that then the show is crap, not realistic and foolishness.   [/quote]

Did you read the analysis?[/quote]

yup.  All points to Tony was not killed.[/quote]
