David Chase just ruined the ending of "The Sopranos"

They told you they could explain everything. In a piece on David Chase, Vox today reveals that the creator of "The Sopranos" does not believe Tony Soprano died at the end of the series, when the shot suddenly cut to black. The fact is that "The Sopranos" is out of Chase's hands, now -- he cannot control how viewers understood the program's ending, one that was self-consciously enigmatic in the first place. This was pointedly in evidence last year, when "Breaking Bad's" final moments didn't just disappoint some viewers but made them question the time they'd spent watching the show, as though past enjoyment had been erased. If this is not the last time Chase will speak up about the "Sopranos" finale, we can only look forward to the mood of anxiety and uncertainty he created seven years ago getting further dissipated.
