" The point is that the last 5 minutes of the show had
more palpable tension and drama then anytime in the entire series.
WE were so engulfed by Tony. This show was not a
first-person narrative, the only perspective is ours
as the viewer being bystanders to the daily life of
Tony Soprano and both his families.
WE were so engulfed by Tony that our eyes were on him
the entire time. TONY WAS THE DISTRACTION for us to
get whacked. One second our eyes are pasted on him
wondering what will happen to him when it goes
black...and we don't see or hear anything anymore.
We got whacked, and Tony was the decoy! This was not
about Tony, it was about us, the viewers! The last
face we saw before it went black was Tony Soprano.
IT WAS OUR TIME ... AND WE NEVER SAW OR HEARD IT COMING! "
