I agree with Jonah that it probably would’ve made a better final-season starting point than end, but it’s not a bad finish either. As usual, David Chase doles out cruel punishment to characters that deserve it least (he was just a gentle guy who loved trains!) while letting the most unlikable of the bunch (Paulie) survive. Dr. Melfi, always the audience surrogate, finally has to face up to her fascination with and enabling of Tony’s murderous enterprise, finally being told by Tony that “What you’re doing is immoral.” Tony (and Chase) might as well have been saying it directly to the audience. She shuts the door on Tony, no longer willing to indulge, tolerate, or support his behavior, and Chase is more or less telling us that it’s time to do the same.
