There are many rumors circulating on various message boards today analyzing the last scene of the Sopranos, in vain attempts to piece together clues to figure out the “real” ending. After just re-watching it on my Tivo, there are a couple that can be put to rest:
1. Myth: When he’s sitting in the booth, Tony’s shirt is different when he enters the restaurant. Just not so. He takes off his jacket, but the shirt’s the same. You can see the same black collar when he pauses in the doorway.
2. Myth: The mysterious man that enters with AJ and sits at the counter is Nikki Leotardo. No, there’s no Nikki Leotardo in the credits. The credit for this man is “Paolo Colandrea, Man in Members Only Jacket.” Colandrea doesn’t have any credits in any previous Sopranos episode.

It is also _not_ the same shirt he wore when he was shot by Junior. However, it is very similar. One thing is for certain, the story is over, there will be no Soprano’s movie. Tony has eaten his last onion ring.
