The Sopranos Finale


Dear Mr. David Chase:

I saw the very first episode of The Sopranos the night it aired, and I've since been one of your biggest fans. Thus, I hope you will accept my heartfelt apology for not having written
The Great Ones That Failed years ago, because it would have done you a world of good.

What is it about mobster franchises that they always screw up the ending? This may have been the most indecisive, cowardly, chicken-shit ending to a television show I have ever had to witness. I would’ve respected you more had you actually made a decision about Tony’s demise and stuck by it.

Makes me want to write mobster franchise just to show you how it’s done.
