What Chase thought as he wrote the scene literally doesn't matter. What matters is how the scene plays and how viewers interpret it.

spiritual question? What a load of BS.
The fade to black was just a cheap trick to **** with the audience. You could have many more meaningful scenarios if Chase wanted some ambiguity on the fate of Tony.

I said it before, it was a world were literally dropped into, and in the end we dropped back out, with all the apprehension and not knowing Tony lived with his entire life, whether he died right then or not.He knew there was danger afoot, he also knew he loved his family and wanted a normal night out with them. The danger that earned him his riches is the same danger that stalks him daily. We don't know what comes next forever, because Tony doesn't know what comes next, ever.

It was a stupid cop out. One of the main reasons Future audiences demanded clear endings at the end of a series. People got whacked on the show all the time. Someone taking out Tony was going to happen at some point.

Tony getting whacked was the only logical ending
He killed Phil Leotardo directly in front of his wife, causing a major headache for the 5 main families in NY... that war was bad for business RIP Tony |

I don't get the problem everyone had with the ending, I thought it was pretty good. Tony was the protagonist of the show, so showing him get shot would have been unsettling, but knowing he dies fits with the grittiness of the show.
But my opinion may be unusual because I didn't watch the show until several years after it ended, and knew about the "controversial" ending going in.

I knew right away they all got killed. It's a cliche ending, as endings to these types of stories are, and they handled it nicely by not actually showing it.
I was disappointing when Nucky met the same fate. It being done by that guys son. |
