Sopranos 6/10 -- THE END

HBO West could have a different version.

But HBO East could not show two versions simultaneously.

 

Words to live by.

 

You'll never last around here with that attitude.

Looser.

;D

 

Now that's irony!!!!

 

In nj we all watched it in HD and meadow enters the dinner, Tony has the stangest look on his face and black. I posted this a.m. that I felt he wasn't looking at her but at something else that seemed to surprise or shock him.

 

Now, now. Rube admitted to being wrong. Once.

 

That tour guide's words about Little Italy were there for a reason. I'm sure there are a lot of valid interpretations, and I think among them is the one about the increasing irrelevance of the traditional mob culture in America -- something someone put into words on here much better than I could.

 

loulou, you actually saw Meadow enter the restaurant? Nobody I know, from a sampling of four time zones, said that to me today.

 

BTW, hunting through my brain, but this could also be the car tie-in.

Cars were used to symbolically represent the decline of American civilization in a lot of 1920's literature. I knew a guy who did his thesis on the subject...

 

An irrelevance that is symbolized by Little Italy shrinking to one block while China(town) encroaches on its territory.

 

I'm curious to see what, if anything, Chase says Tuesday morning on Sepinwall's blog.

 

So, are these the two interpretations of the scene I'm hearing:

1. Harris is rooting for Tony to win over Phil...

2. Harris has set Tony up and this hit means he has him where he wants him...

I'm not sure which is correct, but I'll say that the first one was my first reaction, given all the other information we got about Harris in the episode.

I also read it as a jab at certain viewers, much like the scene with the lawyer at the Bing and the scene with the SUV rolling over Phil's head.
