Chase whacks the audience
I agree with Heather. We the fans get what we deserve in the finale -- a bullet in the back of the head. We don't even hear it coming -- just like Tony said.
For season after season we've been lurking in the Sopranos' world, getting our vicarious kicks from the violence and tension that permeate Mob life. In the final episode(s) we get to feel a little of that tension for ourselves, right up until the last moment.
And then time's up. "Members Only Guy" (probably one of Tony's crew) heads for the bathroom, someone comes up behind us and ... cut to black. Show's over folks. Tony's world goes on, but like everyone from Big Pussy to Christofuh, we are no longer part of it.
Nice job, Chase!
