I’m a little awed that there is a “public outcry” about the last episode of the Sopranos. It makes me think that plenty of alleged fans of the show were missing the point all these years.

I thought this last season was terrific, and the now notorious “diner sequence” in this final episode was absolutely brilliant. I could expand on that and explain why, but if you don’t see for yourself you probably won’t understand anyway. I watched this sequence again and caught something I thought I saw the first time: a direct reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey (This shot, basically.)

Also amusing was the Gray Line bus, only they don’t drive down Mulberry like that.
