Sopranos

I just watched the Sopranos finale. So I go online to see what reaction there is, and it's mostly negative. I don't understand why. If you're a Sopranos devotee, you've been watching for nearly a decade, so you should be overly familiar with the pace and plotting of the show. You know that plot lines do not get resolved, that characters are introduced and forgotten. This is par for the course. Yet suddenly you expect the show to end in a Stephen King-like ending of violence and explosions, and everything gets wrapped up in a tidy package? If so, I don't think you've really been watching the show, and you've completely misunderstood the entire endeavor.
