The whole Christian symbolism was a little too much for me as well. Crashing into the truck while doing the Jesus Christ pose, with the (sam) crows (i.e., the surviving Sons/disciples) eating the bread and wine, then the blood trickling into it...meh.
I thought it was funny too how at the end it was all dramatic and then the corny ending credits music started playing...dee nee nee nee nee nee neeneeeoooo. It kind of killed the moment if there was one.

I don't think ending a series in a predictable way is necessarily a bad thing. IMO, every series that has gone against the grain with an ending (Lost, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, etc.) have actually left a bitter taste in my mouth about the show despite trying to be edgy and unique. The only other one that bucked the trend a little bit was The Sopranos, but it had just the right amount of ambiguity that it worked (for me, anyway).
I knew how Breaking Bad was going to end up, same with The Shield to some extent (still some unexpected elements), and the same with SOA. They were all satisfying.
