I just finished the entire series for the 2nd time since October and just want to say some things about the finale.
Just going to throw this out there but anyone who says Tony dies is an idiot and doesn't understand David Chase. It was supposed to show how close to death Tony is and always be. From the opening scene when he looks like he's in a casket (called a red herring people) to the final scene when the guy is wearing the Members Only jacket worn by the guy who killed himself because Tony wouldn't let him go to Florida. (hint: you don't ever quit the mob, Tony will be in it forever)
The ending relects how life just continues in the Soprano household. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Chase didn't have a blockbuster ending, so he ended the show by showing that life will continue. Carmela will continue to worry about that fateful day when Tony gets arrested or killed. Meadow will continue to be smoking hot and blinded to the fact her father is a major mafia figure, yet she constantly complains about how the FBI mistreats the Sopranos. AJ will continue to alternate acting like a Soprano in training and a little bitch. And Tony will always be Tony.
