A Final Take On “The Soprano’s” Controversial Finale (UPDATED)
Read the always original Josh Trevino’s analysis HERE in National Review.

There’s one little problem with this growing consensus that the blackout signifies Tony’s death. If that is what he meant, Chase is too good an artist to have cut out with the camera on Tony’s face.

If we see lots of news stories on a subject we may indeed comment on it — and that includes not just the usual political Hillary Hillary Bush Bush Bush Democrats Democrats Republicans Republicans stuff but popular culture as well. Go to google and search The Sopranos under google news. I’ll be you’ll see there is a teenie bit of media and reader interest in this topic. Apparently National Review also felt so, since they ran Trevinos piece..
