I had only recently begun watching The Sopranos, and I wasn't going to miss tonight's season finale that just ended.
Uh.........what the heck was that?
Edit: Just saw this on another blog.

Dear David Chase,
Enclosed you will find an invoice for the cost of my HBO service for the past six years, totaling $1007.28. Your show's return on my emotional and financial investments are insufficient.
Please remit payment immediately.
Disappointed Fan.

Dallas Morning News blog has help make sense of that ending.... The last scene we see from Tony's eyes - a family dinner but Tony having to look at every person as a possible threat. Last week, after Bobby was killed, Tony had a flashback remembering the first episode of this season when he & Bobby were on a boat discussing what it would be like to get "whacked" & Bobby said, "Maybe you never see it coming, maybe you're just dead all the sudden." Tony looks up to see Meadow coming in the door, then he's dead. Maybe the guy in the restroom got him, or maybe the guys that just came in. Another reason this seems possible is that it goes to black & during the credits, there is no song. The song during the credits is always important to the plot. There's no song for the first time, because there's no Tony anymore. It all fits.
I dunno.....just dumb!....but maybe I'm just dumb....either way....
I don't care how big a ole boy you are, I think David Chase needs to make me out a check for $1007.00 or I'm coming down and whip somebody's ass.

Excellent ending. Made perfect sense. Paulie did it. He got whacked, and the show ended for us exactly as if would have been for Tony. Instant nothing.
The ending was brilliant!
The last words heard were from the song, "Don't stop.."
I haven't, and won't; a million phone calls were spawned in the moments following the show, and ten million conversations will take place over the next several days/months/years.
We are all writing the ending..
Tony does'nt get whacked, he gets busted. Meadow walks thru the door just as it happens. She will defend Tony in the trial that will be played out in the upcoming Sopranos movie.
The final song was a clue "Don't Stop Believing". Tony will return on the big screen.
Sil lives!!!
Who cares!!!
In the moment, I hated it. But having time to reflect...I think it might have been brilliant.
Loved it. I hated that it was over. It took me by surprise, I thought my tivo had stopped taping too early. I thought about it a minute, then watched a couple scenes again. And I think it was perfect. It could go either way - a new movie, or Tony is dead and gone. It's been a brilliant ride. I've loved every episode.
The best series finale I've ever seen was Six Feet Under...it took you years down the road to show you what happened to each character...it was great and very satisfying.
I have NEVER watched a single episode of the The Sorpranos but then again I have NEVER seen one of The Godfather movies.
mzchief, seriously, you are missing out. I wouldn't lie to you.
I would recommend starting with the Godfather (I and II -- don't bother with III), then Goodfellas, then Sopranos. But I warn you -- once you start watching Sopranos, you'll get sucked into a vortex from which you'll never extract yourself. The episodes come 3-5 to a DVD, and you will be unable to stop watching -- it'll be 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, you won't have left the house since Friday night when you started watching (except to run out to Operation Blockbuster to get the entire next season, sometime late Saturday afternoon) ... your friends will wonder if you've died in there, or what, but when you finally explain -- "Sopranos -- y'all -- " they'll understand.
