There was an article posted last week about how the second-to-last episode each season was always far superior to the final one and the final one was often a letdown. I'd say that held true again for this season.
Unfortunately, that shouldn't have happened given how this season's ending was just a bit different than the previous five.

Wow, did he die or didnt he...
It will be discussed forever..
and what was up/ meadows parking?
and the journey song? Dont stop beleiving?
Pasted below...
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'

Or how about the guy goes into the bathroom and when he comes out he's changed into ...Al Pacino.

Hated it.
Thought the feud with NY wrapped up a little too easy.
WAY too much AJ in this episode. Cant stomach the kid.
For a final episode, I was very dissapointed.

Same here. definitely need to re-watch as always, but it's not that I didn't get it. It just doesn't strike me a subtle ending - it strikes me as a lame and cheesy one.

No, it wasn't. That was Chase holding up a mirror and saying "#### you, America". Not only does he piss off the simpletons, he pisses off the people who actually enjoyed the show. Or are we the one in same same? Wait? Wow! What a great ending! Damn you David Chase! You sneaky, cheeky *******!What ending would have been satisfying? Any ending.just curious what you were hoping for from it? what ending woulda satisfied you? and for that matter anyone else?serious questionI wasn't expecting bloodshed, just a solid finish to one of TV's great series.sorta what i expected from the finale.all the people expecting a bloody shootout must not have been paying attention for the past few years.

I've said all along it would be too predictable if he were dead or in jail. I don't think that was ever going to happen regardless of whether it was "over".
If the people who watch lets Twin Peaks or Lost or one of those dramas where if you don't open your mind for a minute you are lost watch this; they would call this the greatest ending ever. Because it made you think and contemplate and wonder.
Unfortunately I believe most Soprano fans want to see blood and violence and racism and naked chicks and the general Goodfellas like mob mentality.

Six Feet Under always did a great job with the season ending episodes and the series finale was awesome.

You know it really sucked when someone says "bring back Greg The Bunny".Ive been trying to tell people that this balloon's been all hot air and hype for years now - a shame it took the end for so many to recognize it.Yall been played. Bring back Greg the Bunny. Now THAT was a good show.

I hated everything about the "Twin Peaks" ending with the exception of the final scene. Cooper being possessed by Bob and smashing his head into the mirror and growling "How's Annie? How's Annie?" was pretty damn creepy. Everything that led up to it, though, in the Black Lodge was pointless and stupid.

Bury his career? The guy is 61, and is getting over 2 million dollars per episode from A&E for them to be shown in syndication. If he never works another day in his life, I think he will do okay.don't understand why the guy would basically bury his career that way.No, it wasn't.

that's just stupid. People wanted a resolution. Even if Tony flipped to the Feds, at least it would be something.
Looks like he wasn't lying. "24 like = silent clock"Part about being let down is open for discussion though

sure, he has more money than god by now... but what the hell does that have to do with his integrity and reputation?sheesh people.. David Chase didn't make this show to be predictable and crowd-pleasing. watch network TV if that's what you're after. everything gets wrapped up exactly as you expect every episode in about 60 minutes.

From where you're coming from, you wouldnt' get it. Every moment of that shot had everybody thinking something was abou/ to happen. Ultimately the show has always been a confrontation between those that thought that "nothing every really hapens in the Soranos" and those that argued that it was really most about family relationships. ...oh and those that thoght it was a Mob show.

im sorry, but that is BS. Im not that upset, because i wasnt a massive fan. I was a little too young to get into it at the start, and have watched it off and on. That was a cop out, plain and simple. Im sure some will come in here and say "The ending is open to interpretation, bla, bla, bla" but thats plain garbage. The guy gave us nothing. To me, that just screams "I couldnt figure out a way to end this" I wasnt expecting some massive shootout or anything, but that sucked.
In other words: Chase is gutless.

have yah been watching the series these last few years?? i went in to it expecting no resolution or grand finale. since that's pretty much how it has always been written.can it at least get wrapped up in a series finale?
