Angel versus The Sopranos.
The two shows and indeed their fans apparently have a lot in common (big spoilers for The Sopranos finale btw).

I thought the end was brilliant. I told him that those of us who were fans of the Jossverse, were used to this sort of thing.

I really dislike the idea of leaving the conclusion to any story up to the viewers. If someone wants to create their own version of a story, they can write a fanfic or something. Most of us watch TV to be entertained by someone else's story, so cliffhanger endings always make me feel cheated.
I haven't ever watched the Sopranos, but from what I've heard about the ending, it seems more like a publicity stunt to me than anything artistic. That's just my relatively uninformed opinion, though.

Whether Tony dies or not, who knows? But I'm glad they didn't show it, even if some have speculated the fade to black was an indication he died, since the episode was shown from his point of view.

I really thought that Angel was the way to do it and the Sopranos just fell short.
I honestly really hope Tony is dead, cause it would validate the end a little.

The flashback to the conversation with Bobby re: the deathblow being the one you never see/hear is probably the closest thing to a clue, but it hardly seems definitive.
It doesn't seem correct to me to say that nothing was resolved in the finale. LOTS was resolved, just not in the last scene.

I have never missed an episode and I think it's without a doubt one of the most brilliant shows to ever grace a TV screen. I'm also a believer in the widespread idea that this show "changed the face of series TV forever". I could write an essey on my reasons for that conclusion.
I thought the final episode was brilliant, a fitting finale to one of TV's greatest accomplishments.
I've always been a little ambivalent about NFA, but I couldn't be more pleased with the finale of The Sopranos. I like the "leave it to your imagination" aspect, it was a stroke of genius and after all the speculation, the one thing that, to my knowledge, no one saw coming.
If it leads to a movie, I'm sure it will be as well done as the series, these people simply don't know how to do anything less than excellence. And I certainly don't see the finale it as a cop out.
Unlike AtS, which had the supernatural thing going and could justify resurrecting a character with ease, if there is ever a possibility of a Soprano's movie, the finale had to leave some doors unambigously open.
