Sopranos, Sucked In Again

I figured I would start off my first real post with something that has been occupying my life as of the last few weeks...The Sopranos. This is a show that I have been on board with since the get-go, circa 1999. I would watch this show RELIGIOUSLY every Sunday night. When the box set for each season would come out, I would be there bright and early Tuesday to pick it up. I have seen each episode probably 3-5 times a piece, my favorite being 'Pine Barrons' from season 3. Every so often I will get the itch to watch the series. This happened to me last March, but I just picked it up at season 3 and went from there. A few weeks ago my friend was watching a particularly good episode from season 5. Despite it being edited to hell on A&E, that's all it took to reignite the flame. I immediately went home and crack open the season 1 box set. I am a few episodes from the completion of the entire season. I approach the end with a mixed bag of feelings ranging from joy, sadness, anger, regret, curiousness, and unfulfillment.
I really love this show, and really have no complaints (even in a nit-picky sort of way), save one. This is some of the best written work I've seen, but the ending still angers me. For those who are unfamiliar, the last five minutes of the last episode of the entire show builds up to a crescendo and then the screen instantly turns black. There are many conspiracy theories ranging from Tony being killed, the entire family killed, nothing happens and they continue living their lives. Every time I watch it I feel cheated. I don't care what David Chase was trying to do with his clever "ending" to the famed series, it is a cop out. I can understand it is hard to end such a acclaimed gargantuan of a show but there needs to be some sort of closure. I didn't watch 86, one hour episodes to learn that I don't know what happened to the main character(s). Some enjoy the idea that you can create your own ending and think whatever you want, but not me. I like ominous and mysterious but this ending leaves you with nothing but unfulfillment. People think that there will be a movie. That is completely false because most of the people in show either got killed, sent to jail, or even died in jail. I just wish that after all the time and money I invested in the show, I got some sort of closure. I just feel robbed, and there's nothing that I can do about it. Curse the heavens!
