me: how was the sopranos finale
i don't watch it
was it a disappointment
to people?
Brendan: ha, I thought it was a perfect ending… completely open ended and ambiguous… just like the central moral conceit of the show
me: a lot of people were upset that he didn't die, right?
Brendan: it was a big F-you to the people who only watch for the surface level blood and guts of the show…
so yea, alot of people were pissed off… but I liked it
Brendan: I mean, anyone who watched it and thought David Chase would wrap it up in a neat package, didnt really understand what the show was about… but, at the same time, I can understand how the fact that the show just cut to black at the end would frustrate even the most deep thinking viewers
me: interesting
from a non-fan's perspective, i kinda liked the ending
you think there's assassins everywhere
Brendan: yea, all the little dramatic tensions gave the viewer a sense of paranoia- real or imagined, then left it up to us to interpret the ending… that was pretty cool…
me:i'm going to put this on mollygood, ok?
Brendan:yea, sure no problem
