I guess we can agree to disagree. I don't think any of the things you mentioned give anything away to someone who hasn't seen the episode. As two people who have, we know what to fill in the blanks per se.
"Sopranos Ends With a..." could be filled in with "Bang", "Hug", "Rebirth", "Funeral" really anything.
The DVR crashed comment in no way says what happens right before the screen goes black. It could've been Tony was shot and then blackness even though we know (or think we know) that wasn't the case.
The artful bow comment really could've been anything. The whole main cast of the Sopranos could've been on stage, during the credits, bowing which would've been different, not artful but artsy.
Anyways I just don't see how someone who has had their ears/eyes closed entirely all day today could get any information out of Tacos post. But I'm not meaning to argue.
I think it is obvious that the sequel will be The Mezzo-Sopranos which will feature such middle ground Sopranos as Paulie Walnuts and that guy from Doogie Howser M.D.
What part of the original post by CmdrTaco was a spoiler? The fact that there was an "interesting ending" or the fact that The Sopranos aired their final episode last night?

Sorry for the horrible formatting. Here it is again in a readable format.
Of course if you asked me last week if that should have been the end, I would have definitely said "No". I agree with a lot of the opinions of last night's episode regarding not necessarily needing to know whether Tony (and possibly his family) are alive or dead. That being said there was little to no closure in my mind last night.
Here are some of the closing points in last night's episode and why I feel they really didn't do it for me:
Phil Leotardo got whacked: While Phil getting killed was probably the biggest point of closure in last night's episode, he wasn't much of an issue until the past 2 episodes (more so last episode then the one previous). Not to mention his head getting accidentally rolled over with the crowds' reaction was much too comical to be taken seriously.
Tony and Uncle Junior: This just seemed forced. Tony wanted absolutely nothing to do with Junior until last night when he seemed compelled to go visit him and then become visibly annoyed with how Junior's Alzheimer's has blocked all memory of "running North Jersey". This confrontation in many ways gave me the feeling that this was the last time Tony would ever see Junior, which in this situation could be the case, but not so much with the next....
Tony and Janice: Seemed too much like two High School graduates discussing the future and what to do next. Though nice to see bro and sis seemingly getting along, it again felt very forced. Remember that at this point Tony still had a target on his back, but made time to visit his family and his sister.
Tony and AJ, Tony and Meadow, Tony checking out Carmella as she walked by, and Tony with Paulie Walnuts were all fine because they either gave some closure or tastefully didn't.
However, I could have done completely without all of those things listed above. Here's an ending for ya. One of Tony's capos gets whacked and another is in critical condition in the hospital. Tony himself is the next target and holes himself off in a hideout with some muscle and goes to sleep with the assault rifle that his murdered capo brother-in-law gave him. End of story. No need for anymore closure then that. Tony's life of crime has always led to death and fear for all those around him and finally it turns on him.
Last night's episode would have been a bit better (in my opinion) if Meadow would have been hit by a car running across the road. Is she alive, is she dead, is/was she pregnant, etc.

Kind of interesting. I work at HHS in Rockville, the second largest HHS building. We were running Novell for a long time but 2 months ago switched to Microsoft ADS. I wonder if this means we will be going back? If so, somebody is getting canned because most of the servers were down for long periods of time during the switch accumulating quite a bit of lost time and resources.
I may be passionate about cars but that doesn't mean that I want to meet Henry Ford, well mostly because he is dead and probably smells a bit funky.
I think Bill should be scared what kind of freak this twisted talent show produces as its winner. I know I certainly wouldn't want to meet him/her.
