I know it's supposed to be open to interpretation, but I think it's the obvious answer... people just don't want to accept Tony gets killed in the end.
Is the "previously..." thing only done on the tv version? I ask because I've got the series on DVD and it's never had a "previously on The Sopranos" part at the start.

Fully agree with you though - all the signs are there, even though I didn't want them to be. Tony Soprano was a scumbag who I'd be terrified to know in real life, but it's a testament to Gandolfini's acting ability that I still felt a lot of empathy for him.
