Now it can be revealed....

I know it's been a while since the Sopranos ended, but I just learned what actually happened after the picture cut to black. I had to share that knowledge.

Here's the ending that HBO didn't want you to see:



For those who are really wanted closure:



Seriously, here's the ending I had expected all along- the one the series had seemed to me to have been building toward for quite a while, and which I still think it would have been the best:

I'm not a Sopranos fan, but your post got me curious so I watched the actual ending. It needed a "This scene intentionally left blank" notice for clarity.
An awful lot of people who were Sopranos fans- including yours truly- were really ticked off my the ending.

Later the producer strongly hinted that while it was left up to the viewer to imagine what happened next, Tony would, indeed, have been whacked- whether that night or later, it really doesn't matter. And I had the distinct feeling for over a year before the series ended that Paulie Walnuts would either have been the one who did it, or who set it up. Tony treated him like dirt for too long, and Paulie had been having trouble sucking it up for a long, long time.
