I think I am getting closer and closer to figuring out this ending. Go back to episode #81 titled Kennedy and Heidi. The title is taken from the two teenage girls in the car that Christopher almost hit before he lost control of his SUV. Mr. Chase used these girls to create the link..for the first time between Kennedy and Heidi.
In the finale, Janice tells Uncle Junior that she has bad news.that Bobby is dead. Junior responds.. Ambassador Hotel. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in 1968.
In the end of the final episode, the screen goes black. This happened on TV once before and created an outrage. It was the end of a New York Jets and Oakland Raiders football playoff game..the screen went black before the game was over when NBC decided to leave the football game to go to a prime time movie, Heidi. The game became known as the Heidi Game. When did this happen? It was 1968!
In a recent episode, we saw Tony trying to get Carmela to bet on a sure thing.a Jets win over the Chargers in Episode 81, Chasing It. In another recent episode (#85, Blue Comet), we see Tony leaving his table at the Nuovo Vesavio restaurant to go over and talk to current New York Jets head coach..Eric Mangini..after Artie Bucco tells Tony that the coach is eating there that evening.
Kennedy (assassination) and Heidi (going to black)..I am sad to report that Tony is indeed dead.
P.S. Why did Mr. Chase use 1968? In his personal life, an important event happened in 1968 for Mr. Chase. A proud moment in his life.just like The Sopranos has been a proud moment for him..he graduated from NYU..This Magic Moment.
