I went to my sister's last night to watch the final episode of the Sopranos.  I wanted to see Tony die.  I wanted to see Carmela die.  AJ and Meadow's demise wouldn't have bothered me a bit.

Instead, nothing.  NOTHING.

Not only was there very little death, there was very little anything.  It was a totally dull hour of tv.

So this morning, I read in various places how "brilliant" it was and how "brave" etc. etc.

No.

It was a total cop out on the order of St.Elsewhere.  I rank the Sopranos finale right down there with the Seinfeld finale.  I almost added the X-files finale, which gave us no new info, but at least it was a jam packed two hours and stuff blew up, and I enjoyed watching it.  The Sopranos ended on the same stale note it had been striking through the first half of the sixth season.  You know the note; the one that says; "We've done everything and we're out of ideas.  We should have stopped two years ago. Sorry."
