Sopranos are 86ed. No more "servings"
I had noticed that the final episode of the Sopranos was number 86 and had considered that yet another clever manipulation by Chase. In restaurant jargon (for example, in a diner), "86 the Sopranos" would mean sold out -- no more servings. (The code 86 goes back to telegraph abbreviations.)
After the initial concern with cable/DVR, then pondering whether Tony or the viewers got whacked, I realized that there just weren't any more servings. While AJ still looked at the menu trying to decide, after out collective "Don't stop", it stopped -- no more servings.
73 and 88 to all involved.
