I loved it too
Think outside the box for a bit... Couple possible theories, remember when Tony and Bobby were in the boat discussing what it was like to be whacked, and Bobby is like "everything goes black, you don't hear or see nothing"... The whole series was from Tony's perspective, so if he does get shot it's only fitting that it happens from his perspective. Note it's the only episode that did not roll the credits to music.
Another observation that I really liked was this. What were you paying attention to in the diner? The italian dude walking in behind AJ? The two black guys? The dude in the members only jacket? You're watching and waiting for something to happen...... and that is what it's like being Tony Soprano. Always on edge, even during a basic family dinner. The end. I love it.
