I agree with this train of thought. If the boat scene with Tony and Bobby wasn't significant, they would not have shown it again in the final episode.
They spared us gore by not actually showing Phil's head popping open like a melon onto the gas station cement. But what they did not show us in the final scene was much more intense.
In the last shot we see Tony reaching for his gun as he hears someone enter the restaurant. Tony, focused on the front door, never sees the guy behind him in the Member's Only jacket blowing his brains out.
So now Carmella and Anthony Jr. are covered in Tony's blood and brains. And hopefully the bullet doesn't leave Tony's skull and hit Meadow as she's coming into the restaurant.
I like they way they left it.
Regards,
Mike
