Quote:Other observations from over there: there are a bunch of boy scouts in the restaurant, maybe the same ones who witnessed Bobby's death in the previous episode; and the guy in the Members Only jacket is identified in the final crawl as Nicky Leotardo -- Phil's nephew.

Quote:Just read the Sepinwall interview, and though he notes that he didn't get this from Chase, he is quite emphatic that "The actor playing Member's Only guy had never been on the show before."
Quote: `Sopranos' extras thrown into TV history By JAKE COYLE, AP Entertainment Writer NEW YORK - In the already infamous conclusion of "The Sopranos," the camera ominously panned to a number of background actors populating the diner where the family sat down for its last televised meal. Seldom have nameless extras been so integral to such a historic moment in television. Depending on your perspective, they could be viewed as either red herrings meant to distract bloodthirsty fans waiting for an explosive finale or as Tony's potential killers who struck at the instant the screen abruptly went black. Paolo Colandrea, a 47-year-old owner of a pizza joint in Penndel, Pa., played the mysterious man wearing a Member's Only jacket sitting at the bar. He was shown going to the bathroom a way station of assassination to fans of "The Godfather." When a relative of Colandrea's picked up the phone at his pizza shop, he exclaimed: "You're trying to get in touch with him? Everyone's trying to get in touch with him!" But if Colandrea's character was there to kill Tony Soprano, the actor who played him isn't saying. "I do have an idea, but I cannot really talk," Colandrea said Monday. "I have papers signed that I can't make any comments on that." Colandrea, who was born in Naples, auditioned for the role after a casting agent stopped for a bite at his shop. He claims to know definitely his character's intent and what happens following the episode's conclusion, but won't divulge it. (A bit of trivia: Colandrea's character wears a Member's Only jacket; the first episode of the final season was titled "Member's Only.") Most have read the ending as deliberately ambiguous, leaving myriad reasonable conclusions for the audience to decipher. Colandrea's perspective, though, would have it that there's an answer to the puzzle worth hiding. Colandrea mentions the possibility of a "Sopranos" movie, which was discussed and eventually dismissed by Chase and the show's producers years ago. Chase has said he's almost certainly not going to make a "Sopranos" film. (Chase is currently in France and unavailable for comment.)

Quote:It may have been exactly that. The last shot is meant to be through Tony's eyes. The last thing he sees on earth is his beautiful daughter Meadow stepping into the restaurant...and then his world goes black. He never sees the shooter, never hears the shot, never feels the bullet.

Quote:This won't work as the last shot is of Ton'ys face and cannot therefore be from his point of view.
Quote:there is now a sign out front saying "PHIL LEOTARDO WAS WHACKED HERE!" I'll try and drive by to snap a picture.
