I felt very cheated at first, but after having an opportunity to mull it over and also hear feedback from others, I really like the way it ended.
If you watched the show from the beginning your feelings about Tony and the show will be starkly different I think than those that jumped on board later down the road. The quickness of Chase's shots and infusion of more music than usual reminded me very much of the old days. I love the fact he left it open as frustrating as it was on first view.

I don't know if seeing Tony with a bullet between the eyes and blood splattered all over his family would have made me feel any better about the ending.

There's too much franchise value to the show to kill Tony, thus the Sopranos. Sadly, the door had to be left open for a possible future movie, or even a series.

Seriously, Gandalfini has said he is done with Tony, and has wanted to end this thing for the last 2 seasons. If there is a movie, he won't be in it, and what's the point then? What did everyone think of the cat? Spirit of Christopher? Some kind of omen, hence the reason Paulie is freaking out about it? (Cats are the guardians of the underworld or some crap in Egyptian mythology I think...)Just another thing to throw in to make people talk?

I love the folks who week in, week out, complain about the Sopranos being what it has always been.
Nobody, probably not even Chase, knows what happens after the fade. But what we got in return for the lack of closure is, IMO [and yes I'm sure half the country disagrees], better. A visceral sense of what it's like to be Tony, the wariness, the juggling home, business, enemies, 'special moments,' all the anvils over his head, then . . . what? We've received enough 'clues' throughout the years to build a speculative case in half a billion different directions. But in the life there is no taking a breath and saying 'that chapter's passed.' It's the anxiety, and pressures, and concerns, and dangers, hanging over your head 24/7, and you never know what's next, just how you have to survive whatever does.
