The real answer would be Tony is whacked and son witnessed and avenges his father /joins the mob. Meadow marries a mobster like her father , names her first son after Tony, mom somehow gets blamed for wanting to go to the diner Generational curse begins again.. |

| Tony died, since the sequence of camera shots indicated the black would have been from his point of view. Earlier in the series, Tony said you won't hear it (death) when it happens. So we heard nothing. |

+1. This is what makes sense. The hitman would have killed Carmela and AJ since they were witnesses. |

It actually was brilliant but you had to understand how the scene was set up to know what happened. Too subtle for such a huge tv audience so, instead of explaining it, they let people make up their own minds/endings. |

Not true. Tony became a "made man" aka a soldier (remember the title of the finale was "Made in America") at age 22 when he murdered a made man. So the person who killed Tony became a made man. The cycle was completed. |

That is unlikely. The "fourth wall" was never breached during the whole series so it is doubtful they would use this technique at the ending. |

Wasn’t it implied Tony was getting soft? Especially with all the therapy? |

Of course Tony got assassinated.
It's been quite a while since I watched it, but a few episodes before the end Tony talks about dying and music playing. When the assassin walks in you hear music playing after fade to black just as Tony described. Would it really be necessary to show Tony getting wasted with graphic violence? Good grief, it was a good ending. It was 100% clear. |

| There was so much symbolism — the first frame of the last episode shows Tony in a coffin, not a bed, there are the six bells reflecting Catholic rights, the shady guy in the Members Only jacket (an allusion to a prior episode). Of course Tony died. |

It wouldn’t have been wife and kids. Code wouldn’t let someone kill them, just Tony. |

No they wouldn’t have because there is no such thing as witnesses in the culture. |

They were killed. |

One of the overall themes of the show was that the therapy was making him a better mobster. Melfi realizes this in a few of the last episodes. |
