Patsy Parisi Had Tony Soprano Killed As Confirmed By Patsy Parisi
Ok. So. Tony Soprano was whacked at the end of the Sopranos. It's very blatantly all laid out there so I'm not even gonna sit here and entertain the possibility that he just went home that night after a peaceful meal of the best onion rings state (as far as he's concerned) with his family. Now the age old question obviously is who was the person behind having him killed?
The obvious answer would be New York but we see them make a truce behind Phil's back which obviously leads to Phil's death. So could that truce have just for show? I guess so...yet I don't think so. A lot of people also claim to think it was Paulie due to him being an older guy and this being his best chance to ever be the boss since pretty much everyone else is gone, his seemingly long history of secret loyalty to New York, and the tension between him & Tony towards the end of the series. I, too, am not a fan of this one as I think there is one clear cut person that had Tony killed and that man is Patsy Parisi.

Patsy's has ALWAYS had it out for Tony ever since he killed his twin brother early on. Even to the point of getting a little smashed at the local bar to pretty much almost killing Tony.
The guy constantly complains about how much his twin brother meant to him & Tony even has nightmares about that whole thing a lot. My main reasoning though is that David Chase is not putting anything he doesn't want in his show. So those dreams of his brother on the boardwalk is one thing. But my biggest thing is this scene in one of the last few episodes. One of Patsy's kids is marrying Meadow so they're having a nice little family get together at the Sopranos Residence. Fast forward to about 3:30 in and give the video below a watch. Carlo Gervasi's Jason & Patsy's Jason are those 2 fucking dorks at Rutgers that AJ hangs out with sometimes. Jason Gervasi was arrested which is why Carlo is testifying in the final episode & you can tell Tony's concerned that since Jason Parisi isn't there that he's also been arrested. Therefore Patsy must be thinking Tony's gonna gun for him next before he himself can testify. Not to mention I think that look Patsy gives at 4:14 tells you all you need to know. David. Chase. Is. Not. Putting. That. Glance. In. There. For. No. Reason.
But HEY that's just my opinion. I was thrilled I got to ask Patsy himself that at SopranosCon and was even more satisfied with the answer. That's JOURNALISM, KIDS!
You can check out the rest of my day at SopranosCon in this week's stool scenes! I (terribly) hosted the Canoli eating contest, talked to a couple more great actors, hit Melfi's office, and met the one & only BIG TIME TOMMIE. Talk about being starstruck.
