Chase left everything up to viewer interpretation.
This explanation is one of the most brainless I have seen yet. If you watch the scene again you will see that there is NOT ONE first person perspective shot. NOT ONE. There are shots of the door, but none from Tony's perspective. Not to mention that we don't hear a peep from Carm or AJ who are sitting facing Tony.
The Sopranos was a family drama. All was set right when we last left them. AJ is still spoiled just like he was, Meadow knows what she wants, Carm is still cool with absolutely everything (however fucked) that is going on as long as she gets what she wants, and Tony is facing legal trouble. There is nothing more to tell. Just as we entered Tony's life in the middle of a transition, we have now left it in the middle of another transition.
We were given so many hints throughout the episode that Tony and his family's life would continue after the fade to black. That we weren't really witnessing the end and nothing has really changed. Tony bitching to AJ's psychiatrist is one example.
David Chase didn't give us a beginning, why the fuck does he need to give us an ending? The final scene gave us a glimpse into Tony's life where he always has to wonder when his time is going to come. He is with his family in public and vulnerable. Make no mistake about it that is an everyday thing. It's nothing new, it didn't just suddenly start after the war was over. He is a mob boss, paranoia is his job.
The cut to black was left for us to interpret. My guess? Life goes on.
Stop reaching with the stupid theories that have little to no evidence to support.
