I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
GF and I think Chase stole that ending from Angel.

I thought the diner was maybe Tony & Carmella's high school hangout. Or some other sentimental place for them. It had a nostalgia feeling to it. Loved Phill's death, especially the insult to (mortal) injury of the car rolling over him and the bystanders' reactions. Loved Tony's screaming at AJ about not parking the SUV in leaves when off road. I guess all those commercials of off-roading in those things are wrong! There was the mixture of horror and humor we've expected from Chase.
I didn't mind the ending, as for me, the point I got out of it is that life goes on. We don't always get everything wrapped up in a neat package. And I'd seen the similar ending of "Angel."

I still haven't decided how I feel about it. I do think that the point of it was that nothing changes, that these characters will keep on doing what they're doing whetehr we are watching or not, that whatever it looks like Tony is not learning anything and AJ probably isn't either and Meadow may be just as weirdly stick as they are and who knows what the hell goes on in Carmela's head, anyway? Someday Tony will end up like Junior, or Sil, or Phil Leotardo, or Johnny Sack, and does it matter which? It's all bad and it's all his bed and they are all stuck in the same grooves they've made.
Unless the guy who went into the bathroom came back out and shot Tony in the head.
I spent most of Phil's death scene trying to climb through the back of my sofa with my fingers in front of my eyes yelling at the TV "Don't show it, for god' sake don't show me that". I'm usually more considerate of my neighbors, but all that anticipation just killed me.
Coincidentally, Don't Stop Believing was a local high school's graduation theme song. is Journey making a resurgence?

Does this mean Tony Soprano is just a funky moose?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I don't think it could have been any worse if it turned out that AJ was autistic and the whole thing was going on in his head.

On the other hand, if James Gandolfini had woken up next to Bob Newhart...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
