I have learned one thing over my life is to never say never

Stevy may have said no but David Chase and HBO have the final say

Steve was there to promote the finale. I am pretty sure they told him what to say.

But who knows, on the sopranos board (on the HBO official soprano's site) the debate is...

Yes he died
No he lived

Until someone "official" comes forth it will be that, just a speculation with each fan having his own opinion.

I went trolling around the Soprano’s website and looked through the episode guides. I wrote down the info on the shows that mentioned the talk of death with everything going black and the lack of sound then went to On Demand and watched those parts of the episodes and after watching, it really appears that Chase was telling us what was going to happen.
I hate to subscribe to it BUT all fingers point to Tony being clipped with the last thing he sees is meadow walk in the door based on these “revelations of death” this season.

I canb't and won't believe Tony is dead

I would of if there was gunfire heard



What was up with that cat staring at Chris's picture?

That's the point.. When you die you don't hear it coming.
That is what Chase was planting throughout the season those little hints..
Again it was to get people to THINK.

This is Chase's words.

Chase said he would leave it to fans to interpret the show’s last scene for themselves. It featured the members of the Soprano family arriving for dinner as Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin”’ plays. Others in the restaurant include a man in a Member’s Only jacket who goes to the bathroom, which some fans have interpreted as a nod to the scene in “The Godfather” in which Michael Corleone retrieves a gun from the bathroom before a shooting.

As the music and tension build, the screen suddenly goes silent and dark.
“I have no interest in explaining, defending, reinterpreting, or adding to what is there,” said Chase, 61, who grew up in North Caldwell.

“People get the impression that you’re trying to (mess) with them, and it’s not true. You’re trying to entertain them,” he said. “Anybody who wants to watch it, it’s all there.”

SOPRANOS CREATOR CUTS TO THE CHASE
-- The Sopranos' final scene shows Tony sitting down to dinner with his family. The tension builds as the restaurant fills with suspicious characters and, suddenly, the screen cuts to black. In an interview with the Newark Star-Ledger, series creator David Chase got to the point on the lingering issues surrounding the controversial finale.

"I have no interest in explaining, defending, reinterpreting, or adding to what is there," Chase said of the scene.

"No one was trying to be audacious, honest to God," he added. "We did what we thought we had to do. No one was trying to blow people's minds, or thinking, 'Wow, this'll [tick] them off.' People get the impression that you're trying to [mess] with them and it's not true. You're trying to entertain them."

In answer to all the speculation about what might have happened after the camera cut out, Chase stated: "Anybody who wants to watch it, it's all there."

The Sopranos did draw a share of fans interested solely in seeing characters get whacked, but Chase informed the Star-Ledger that he never killed a character without first developing them.

"I'm the Number One fan of gangster movies," he says. "Martin Scorsese has no greater devotee than me. Like everyone else, I get off partly on the betrayals, the retributions, the swift justice. But what you come to realize when you do a series is you could be killing straw men all day long. Those murders only have any meaning when you've invested story in them. Otherwise, you might as well watch 'Cleaver.'"

And as for Tony, despite all the therapy, the coma and sociopathy, Chase offered the final word on his show's central character. "From my perspective, there's nothing different about Tony in this season than there ever was," he stated. "To me, that's Tony."

Now that it's all over, Chase has no regrets.

"It's been the greatest career experience of my life," he says. "There's nothing more in TV that I could say or would want to say."

Some fans assumed that the ambiguous ending was a set up for the oft-rumored "Sopranos" movie, but Chase countered the speculation.

"I don't think about [a movie] much," he says. "I never say never. An idea could pop into my head where I would go, 'Wow, that would make a great movie,' but I doubt it."


Too bad they didn't post the veiwer feedback like they did in the paper
