What Makes a Good Ending?



Offering what appeared a contemporary and culturally relevant illustration for open endings, the Gospels professor showed this clip of the final scene of The Sopranos. He was raising the question of where the gospel of Mark ends - is it the short version or the long ending or did it really just close with people trembling at the empty tomb (verse 8 if you're keeping track). Of great interest to BC was the moment he asked the over 60 students in the room if they watched the Sopranos, two raised their hands. Was the dearth of Sopranos support a function of economics, HBO is expensive or something else?
