    haha...great ending

    Nicely done....a practical joke, "art" or both. Props to Chase for not giving in and going with a morality play or cathartic revenge ending (base emotions). It's the gray areas where real life happens (not that The Sopranos were real) so it's nice to see ambiguity tossed into mass popular culture.

    Also props to HBO for allowing for creative freedom and not something else (audience or exec driven). Nice to see some creative cajones in popular culture once in a while...although one could argue there was a little fence sitting in the ending but hey that's life.

    BTW, I knew TS wouldn't die because there's a feature film still to be made. Ending the series is one thing...killing off the option of more was never going to happen.
