I just loved The Sopranos, but when I saw the finale, I was totally disappointed.

I think I was probably the only one here on the BB to be so bummed. All the theories of of what happened never did convince me. It was a poorly written (and/or confusing) ending to a fantastic series IMHO.
I'm glad Chase answered because I can't imagine he'd have a scenario that made sense to everybody.
On a side (sad) note, with Gandolfini's passing, and with the thought that anyone else could even be Tony Soprano, I suppose had Chase said Tony did die, it would be kind of fitting, and put this masterpiece to an end no??
