He got killed

[Casey Provance]

I can't believe you don't get what happened!!!

Tony was killed. That dude who walked into the bathroom did it.

The symbolism here is that Tony never knew what hit him. When he was
whacked, it was all just over, hence the black screen out of no where.
That's how the end comes, without warning and no memory of it.

Lame, yes...but that's what happened.

riiiiiiight

Excellent point but I don't buy it.

My wife thinks Meado got killed. She's right too.

I think no one got killed, at least at the restaurant. I'm right too.

A lot of people didn't like the ending and feel cheated. They, too,
are correct.

[KarlZona]

Yes, that is a good guess and it makes perfet sence, but anyone can
interprate it anyway they want. The bathroom guy could have been a
nobody too.

Karl.

[Toadvine]

That's entirely possible. It's more likely the guy was an undercover
FBI agent, though.

But you can't help but remember Michael Corleone going into a bathroom,
getting a gun from behind the toilet tank, and coming out firing.

Very insightful. But alas, cannot be claimed as fact.

Chase is really good at what he does.

---------------
That's actually what I thought too, once the credits started to roll and I
realized the TV hadn't failed. But it can't be right. We weren't seeing
the scene through Tony's eyes. For example, he wouldn't have seen Meadow's
difficulty trying to park her car across the street. If we were seeing what
Tony was seeing, it would make sense that the world went black because he
suddenly died, but that's not the way it was set up.

No he didn't get whacked. By who? Phil was dead and they came to an
agreement with the little guy. He even told T You guys do what you's gotta
do. Chase focusing in on all those different people in the diner was Chase's
way of screwing with us.

[Phil]

Casey is dead-on. It is the simplest explanation for the abrupt ending. If
the intent was to leave us guessing, fade to black is how you close it out.

If Chase comes out and actually says that's what happened, then it could be
a truly chilling end...
He's not likely to.

[RH]

The finale just showed life goes on...Tony having dinner with his
family...all is calm, all is peaceful. Meadow is moving forward with
her life, AJ is in a seemingly stable direction, Carm is moving on a
house restoration project, the NY thing is resolved for T, business is
moving forward, albeit with the potential of inditements (which have
always been a potential), and T needs to do some team building...

[Terry McCombs]

Unless that is they drive up to the creators back door with a truck full
of money for a movie, in which case he walks out of the restroom and on
it goes.

[jeff...@webtv.net]

The stuff from last week and the cat thing Family and goomars rarely
get touchedd

[Flatulous Maximus]

I do buy it. I think that's exactly what the black screen meant. The
entire series was mainly from Tony's perspective. It's appropriate
that it ends that way.

her "tutsoon" boyfriend, Noah!

Yeah, I would believe that if there had been of a first person shot of Tony
looking at his family through the camera and then it went blank.....hell, I
don't know what Chase was thinking. I thought it was a great episode.

[gh]

If he has to come out and say it, then he didn't tell the story
properly. I think he did.

[ELVIS2000]

I do... I think that's what happened. The entire series has been from
Tony's POV, so it makes sense.

[James Goforth]

Not only did the screen black out, but I would put a lot of
significance on the fact that there was no sound, either, no closing
music, no nothing. Dead.

[Frank Cornish]

it wasnt the guy going into the bathroom, it was the 2 black guys who
entered..symbolic of Meadows new career

If someone you love becomes a memory; that memory becomes a treasure.

Since when was the entire series from Tony's POV?

[James Goforth]

If there was the sound of a gunshot right at the time the screen went
black, there would be _no_ debate, no doubt as to what happened to Tony.

But there could BE no sound of gunfire, because "you never hear it
coming."

He got whacked, obviously.
