Okay, so I still feel a bit let down. But as the day has gone by, I have become used to it.

I mean, it’s over and it ended in what seemed like the only logical way for such a thing to end… No matter what folks like to say abut it being a family drama or what have you, it really is a mafia show, and there is a way that things are done in that organization.

After the incident with Phil at the gas station, there was only one possible conclusion. There is no way that The Commission (or whatever passes for it now in Mafia organization) could have sat idly by after that maneuver. They would have to act.

I read somewhere online, that those people in the restaurant are going to be stuck in those positions forever, but I really must disagree. We all know what happened. We all saw The Godfather and noticed the similarity in the set-up, just as we all noticed the similarity at the end of Episode 79 with the christening scene in Godfather 2. There just isn’t any other way for the dice to fall.

Anyway, the more I think about it, the better I feel. After all, it is still the best (and longest) mafia movie ever, and certainly one of the best TV shows of all time. I think that after 8 years of watching and rewatching and waiting and waiting during the extended breaks between seasons. It’s just funny to be done with it.

It also could have ended at that last shot of Satriale’s, I would have liked that.
