Get a Life, Indeed
You may think that the hoopla over the Sopranos does not bode well for our national character, but it's nothing new. Dickens used to serialize his novels, the last being "Our Mutual Friend". Each chapter was as highly anticipated as the Sopranos episodes. There would be people waiting at the dock in Manhattan for the ship that carried the latest chapter.

Having said that, let me say I thought that the last scene was a nod to The Godfather (weapon in the mens room) and the Crazy Joey Gallo hit in Umberto's Clam House. Joey was shot in front of his family, at the time this was considered a severe breach of etiquette (sp?), if you can imagine such a thing. Combine that with what Bobby said in an earlier episode and I think that sums things up. I don't remember the exact quote, but the words were to the effect of "you never hear the shot that gets you; everything just goes black".
