Did he? Will need to check that out. It seems to contradict other statements he's made. Perhaps he gets a kick from prolonging the meaning behind the final scene?

I watched the final episodes more or less back to back and I noticed a lot of foreshadowing in the episodes leading up to the finale. As soon as the bell rang and the screen went dark, and remained dark with no sound for what seemed like a long time, I knew Tony had been whacked and we were seeing and hearing nothing because he was dead.

It's a brilliant ending. Indeed, it's probably the best ending I've seen of any show. I only wish that we got to see the short and long-term reaction of AJ, Carmela and Meadow to Tony's death.

Aside from the contentious final scene, I really disliked the way Dr Melfi told Tony to beat it because of the idiotic comments made by that leech Elliot. Up until that point I'd quite liked Dr Melfi, but after her lame dismissal of Tony as a patient I went right off her.

Will look into that info, bosque, although I'd be very surprised if Tony didn't get whacked at the end. The ending is definitive for me.
