The final scene of the series in the episode "Made in America", follows a pattern of showing Tony's face and then what Tony sees in front of him. This pattern repeats throughout Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'". When we see the man in the 'members only jacket' step into the bathroom (behind Tony, an ideal placement to assassinate him). The final shots and the last time we see the pattern; we are shown Tony's face, and then what he sees...a black screen. In previous episodes in the season, characters such as Silvio and Bobby (speaking on the subject of being killed) talk about how "you don't even hear it coming" and "I didn't know what happened until it was over". This has lead some fans to speculate (with the pattern in mind) that Tony was assassinated by the man who went into the bathroom just a few minutes earlier, and that the black screen was in fact what Tony sees because he was killed. David Chase has never confirmed this theory (although he originally wanted the black screen to run for three minutes, instead of the credits), so the end is as intended; open for interpretation.
