Reply to comment by Holdmypipe in how would you feel about a 'cliffhanger wrap up series?' by ArdentFecologist

Having just rewatched it for the first time since the initial run, it’s pretty obvious that Tony dies. At one point they replay the conversation between him and Bobby about what being killed must be like. There’s no reason to replay that scene if it didn’t hint at what happens at the end. I agree with David Chase. You didn’t need to see him get murdered. It would have added nothing but more blood in a series that had plenty of it.

I still like to think that we don’t see Tony get whacked, because we “the viewers” got sacked first. Ok, sure the series never broke the fourth wall up to that point, so this theory definitely has holes, but that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
