...and I'll say first of all that I have not seen it, that I don't want to know the details of how it went, because I've made an effort to avoid that info until I can catch up with the DVDs and see for myself - but from unavoidable headlines and thread titles, I've gathered that it was in fact a non-ending, that it didn't "go out with a bang," so to speak, or nicely wrap up all the loose ends, and a lot of fans are annoyed. Well, to you I would suggest this: maybe the non-ending is a good thing. It gives you the freedom to decide for yourself how you want it to end - and the beauty of it is that each fan's ideal ending will then be different, and tailored to your own wishes. What could be better?
Back in the 80's one of my favorite shows was "V" (the Visitors). After two very successful mini-series, it ran as a weekly series for a single season, for 19 episodes. The last episode ended on a cliffhanger that was never resolved. I couldn't have asked for anything better - because it allowed me to picture the ending I wanted. And that surely wasn't the ending that the series writer would have come up with. Years later I actually found the unproduced script to the 20th episode, which was to be the start of the second season - and it resolved the cliffhanger from episode 19, but still left things open-ended enough that I could still picture my own chosen outcome.
Just by way of comparison.
If you reply to this post, let me request no "Sopranos" spoilers, please - I'm still trying to avoid them. :)
