Obligatory Sopranos Recap

For all those who haven't figured it out by now and haven't listened to any news since last night, the Sopranos came to an end on HBO. I am assuming that most people know that it wasn't exactly the satisfying end that everyone had hoped for.

I can't say that I'm surprised that David Chase and the writers couldn't figure out an appropriate end to the show. Ending a popular show with a proper sendoff is one of the most difficult things to pull off. It happens only rarely.

MASH was one example of a proper sendoff. Cheers was another. Even one of the Bob Newhart shows did a good ending (making it appear that the entire show was really just a dream from a previous incarnation of a Bob Newhart show).

Well, watch this recap of the entire series:


If you want to know how the show ended, just imagine dead air after the clip ends. There you have it.
