My original posts in this thread were very angry towards Instant Classic for some reason... wonder what was up with that... might have been feuding with him at the time... strange

It was"pretty clear" and he "definitely" did die

Come at me

I'll cum at you.

That would be unpleasent tbf

The actor Matt Servitto basically admitted that in the script they had the guy walking directly towards Tony originally and that they cut away to make it more ambiguous.

Tony died.

Then James Gandolfini ate himself to death soon after just to ensure we all got the message.

Yeah, thank you, James.

It was all that cold meat from the fridge.

"Don't eat the gabagool grandma, it's all fat and nitrates!"

She should have told that to Tony.

My favourite show of all time. He definitely died.

R.I.P Frank Vincent a.k.a Phil Leotardo this week btw.

This Gertner fellow is giving Bad News Gertner a bad name lemme tell ya.

Rewatched the whole series a few months ago for the first time since the original run , think its's a testament to the show that people still argue over the ending to this day .
Can't say either way whether he died or not and that's the perfect way to end it , suppose there can't be a happily ever after in the Mafia .

I never watched it start to finish, used to catch the odd episode here and there. I should really do something about that.

Never watched the series but have always heard great things, going to DL it and binge it from the beginning....

I'll be honest IMO it's overrated, but it gets better the deeper you go into the seasons. Didn't like season 2 or 3.

at the time there was nothing like it on tv. Long form television wasnt really a thing.

pine barrens is the best episode of anything

Think I watched some seasons. Going to start researching it but the first episode seems so ehhhh.

the best show

Ralphie Cifaretto is one of the best characters ever written. Pauly Walnuts too.

How about worst character?

Hated those 2 douche bags that worked at the stock broker agency that would randomly beat up employees.

Meadow Soprano's college room mate.

I can't sit through those scenes.

That's the problem with writing miserable whiner characters…if you do it well then the audience still has to sit through a performance they'd rather not see no matter how good it is.
