The Sopranos Ends With a ...
If you still have your copy sitting unwatched on your Tivo, I'd suggest that you stop reading before you are spoiled. The show is done at last and apparently fans are freaking out over the bizarre ending. At my house, we thought at first that the DVR crashed until the credits appeared in silence. Personally I thought that a show known for such excess tried to take an artful bow: It didn't work for me, but I get it at least. Anyway, I had a number of Sopranos submissions this morning and figured I'd just post this comment to give people who were interested in discussing the end of the show a nice place to discuss before they cancel their HBO.
He's dead, Jim.

and I canceled HBO.
Not just because the ending sucked but because there's nothing else I watch on those channels.
But that episode really sucked. I get it, "You won't know it's coming. Everything will just go black."
I don't care.
Besides I really wanted to see Meadow and AJ beheaded. There I said it. I can't take it back. It's out there.

he either got shot.. or didn't get shot.

In which case you're absolutely at the right site.

Sounds like they got the Seinfeld writers to come out of retirement to do the series finale episode.
You know, I came up with a rather nice ending about a year ago that involved Big Pussy coming back from the dead as zombie and using voodoo to take over Tony's crew, then going to war with Phil and then the rest of the Five Families. I even wrote a theme song (to the tune of the Three's Company theme song)...such a pity they didn't use it. Now that would've been a great setup for a spinoff. People like the mafia, they like zombie flicks...how could it fail?
He might also have not been shot. I just had to point that out.
I'm pretty sure the thugs in the diner weren't there to fulfill a contract on Tony, but only to get a bite to eat. It was only when Tony chose to play that execrable Journey song on the jukebox that they decided to shoot Tony. Anyone who likes that Journey crap deserves to be whacked.
I'm on Season 6, Episode 7. Thank you Netflix. This season is great and I can't wait to see Season 7 - it is getting hard to dodge the spoilers.

Thanks for the suggestion!
(Spoilers below):
Tony makes a loud buzzing noise and catches fire. My house burns down. Damn, an interactive show finale! Great job, HBO!
In that case, I'm waiting for the "Mega-happy" ending and then the "Scooby-Doo" ending.
this is just a placeholder till i send back my real sig from the future.
Your parents must be proud.
Help me take back Slashdot. When did 'News for Nerds' become 'FUD and Conspiracy Theories for Extremist Nutjobs'?

I'd just like to thank those involved for learning a lesson over the Lone Gunmen fiasco.

Or, the family did a bunch of gross stuff to each other and Tony says "The Aristocrats!"
shroedinger was a famous veterinarian who liked to put cats in boxes with a vial of poison and a radioactive isotope. then if the isotope decayed the vial burst and the cat died. of course you couldn't tell if the cat was dead or not until you opened the box, but that spoiled the fun. so to please the humane society he decided that the cat was both dead and alive while in the box, thus proving the idiocy of humane societies.
some say he was a physicist but he was really a veterinarian who had been attacked by a cat during his childhood

It certainly worked that way for The Departed.

But just mocking their belief system? How is that defensible?
OK, they believe in thetans and attempt to audit them out. So? Why am I supposed to laugh at that when the supermajority of the world believes similarly barmy nonsense?
