DON'T EXPECT HAPPINESS: And the Sopranos go about as full circle as a show can. Back to the pool. Back to Livia. Back to "poor you". There's a part of me that believes the series could have ended with this episode, and am intrigued whether they're going to push certain insights further.

I don't want to spoil things, and am v. interested to see what smarter scribes than I have to say.

e.t.a.: Sepinwall: "Meadow had her chance to get off the bus for good, but instead she's inching towards a lifetime bus pass. Carmela had two chances -- first when that elderly shrink told her to leave Tony, then when she actually threw him out -- and both times she couldn't do it. Vito drove home to his own death, so great was the pull of his old life. Adriana couldn't leave Christopher and died because of him. Chris in turn couldn't leave Tony, and now he's gone to Hell for him."
