David Chase gives fans the finale they deserve -- one they can argue about for years to come.
  • Macavity's a mystery cat; he's called the Hidden Paw

    Submitted for your approval: When it comes to the ginger-colored mystery cat in the finale, we need look no further than Mr. T.S. Eliot -- The Wasteland, Murder in the Cathedral, Burnt Norton, Slightly Singed Norton, *Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats*; I'm surprised I have to point this out.

    Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,

    There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.

    He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare:

    At whatever time the deed took place - MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!

    And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known

    (I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone)

    Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time

    Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

    Remember how Paulie had the portrait of Tony and the horse touched up? Thus endeth the lesson.
