Never understood the hoopla over the Sopranos ending, I was content with it, it just ended, I'm glad Chase didn't ruin it with some big hollywood ending shootout like what would of happened on crappy shows like NCIS etc.
Also no why would Tony of died? No one is after him at that point, everything is resolved with New York. What is pretty probable is that due to Carlo flipping he will be going away for a long time. Also the thing with Meadow someone mentioned that it built up suspense of her possibly being shot, well this would not happen in the current mafia, family are off limits, and a girl as hot as Meadow?? They wouldn't dare!.
Its like the Wire it just ended, things will go on, people need to stop looking for some sort of final result, it was pretty clever from Chase I thought.
