I know he said this and I don’t believe him. At the time he did not say that. I think he made it up because all of the complaints.

In the mafia you get whacked by your best friend. Not someone walking in a dinner. Tony would have spotted him.

I like that theory much better than that Tony died.

I watched that ending with my father and he jumped up off the couch and screamed that I had accidentally shut the tv off.

I thought it was brilliant. Interesting theory that the son & wife died, never thought about that! But I think it was limited to Tony.

No, you have a lazy imagination that wants to be spoon fed.

That ending was brilliantly written, like most of the show that preceded it.

I don’t think anyone else died besides Tony. The son and the daughter are both alive in the Super Bowl commercial that Chase himself directed a few years ago.

Interesting, I never assumed wife and son died too, just Tony. But they would have witnessed it, obviously. That was always a theme with Chase in interviews....talking about inevitable consequences that would come for them all. Including their families. Also, Yes on his basically confirming later that he died, as a pp said.

He died. A few episodes before someone asked him what he thought happened when you die. He said it all turns black.

I think it's more than likely that Tony died, but I think it's purposefully left up to the viewer to fill in that detail for themselves.

To me, it's a lazy ending if the fade to black wasn't supposed to be him dying and he certainly deserved it.

What are your thoughts on the final scene? We just did a rewatch and I'm still very torn on the meaning.
