‘Sopranos’ Finale: Creator David Chase on James Gandolfini Death Scene Meaning [WATCH]

It's perhaps the most talked about ending to a television series ... ever. Back in 2007, HBO's The Sopranos aired its final episode and left many wondering one thing for so long: "What the hell!?" For years, whether you loved or hated the ending, people have been clamoring for an explanation from the show's creator David Chase. And now, they've got it. The writer-director recently spoke with DGA Quarterly, which is the Director's Guild magazine, and he happily (maybe?) analyzed the famed James Gandolfini ending ... which may or may not have been a death scene.

"I thought the ending would be somewhat jarring, sure. But not to the extent it was, and not a subject of such discussion," Chase said in the magazine.

Of course, The Sopranos ending is still talked about to this day, eight years later. There were many who felt cheated by the screen cutting to black during Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Then there are some who absolutely loved it, specifically all the symbolism and existential meanings behind it.

And if you're like the masses, the more you think about it, the more you start to really appreciate it.

For viewers and non-viewers alike, relive the famed ending of The Sopranos here.

A few months ago, Tony Soprano himself, James Gandolfini, was inducted in to the New Jersey Hall of Fame. MStars News was there to cover the event.

Gandolfini passed away back in June 2013 of a heart attack.
