ST. CHARLES, MO—Covering her ears as her father screamed at her mother about the overuse of suggestive POV camera shots, local child Hadley Lohman sat frightened atop the stairs last night watching her parents argue about the ending of The Sopranos, sources confirmed Wednesday. According to reports, Lohman crawled out of bed to the steps overlooking the living room, having heard her mother slam a door after her father suggested that the famous cut to black in the final episode of the HBO series was “a total fucking cop out,” and that it had clearly been resorted to because showrunner David Chase didn’t know how to end the story. The 8-year-old child then reportedly closed her eyes and wished that all the yelling about what “Don’t Stop Believing” meant would cease, especially her mother’s cries that the last scene was actually an artful use of suspense and that knowing Tony’s fate wouldn’t make it more satisfying. At press time, sources reported that Lohman had retreated back into her room and covered her head with a pillow to avoid hearing any more Sopranos spoilers.
