Why Tony Soprano Doesn't Die

Over the years David Chase has masterfully lulled us into thinking Tony was a lovable shlub only to have him viciously curb-stomp someone. We’re left feeling guilty for having fallen for Tony’s broken-soul act. That says as much about our own gullability as it does Tony’s viciousness.

Killing Tony is just way to convenient. It’s an easy way out for all of us. All of that guilt relieved…

Not gonna happen.

I win. That was the greatest ending to a TV show ever. Well played, Mr. Chase.
