i don't know if i'd go that far, simply because of how much useless **** is on the internet, but i do think it's an exercise in futility to some degree. i mean, hasn't Chase said something along the lines of how the end wasn't intended to be some intricate puzzle to be put back together to give you the truth (like Lost or something). it is what it is, a very intentionally ambiguous ending imo. if you want to believe that Tony was shot, then that's there. if you want to believe he flipped, there's that. if you want to believe nothing at all happened to him, and he lived out his life in a room by himself as a senile old man like Junior, then that's there too. or if you have another theory as to what happened, then yeah, that's probably in there too.
at the end of the day, i'm pretty firmly in the camp who think that the ending is pretty unimportant, really. and i think it's sort of crazy how much time and energy people are willing to use trying to find the hidden secrets or the show. i mean there's a very good possibility that they're looking for something that isn't there, and all these clues were simply red herrings or sorts, possibly in there mostly just to prevent the real ending from leaking out before the show aired. i mean didn't they shoot a couple different endings too for this reason?
in any case, i hope the ending debate doesn't sidetrack this thread. i'm sure it's been done before, and unless there's something new, like new comments from Chase, there's probably not much to discuss. so anyone got some more subtle moments?
