Hi. I had never seen the show, but I think I have a good explanation of what happened in the final scene.
The idea is to examine the reactions of people to the finale, and then interpret why specific people would have a specific reaction.
http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2007/06/the_sopranos_finale_explained.html
I think this psychological approach is legitimate, given the huge hold the show had over people, and the overt references to psychiatry, etc.
Comments appreciated.

Since we now know that the "Jesus last days" theme is central to the Sopranos, and we know that Carlo was Judas, who denied Tony more than once?(as Peter did with Jesus)..Paulie..make sense?.

But is there something deeper going on as we say goodbye to Tony and Harry (or any other fictional characters to whom we have become attached on the page or the screen)? After all, the million-megaphone effect of the Internet now allows us to insert ourselves into the consciousness of authors and TV auteurs, to become, in a way, part of the story as it unfolds over years and years. What, then, are the stakes for us ?
“With something like 'The Sopranos' and 'Harry Potter,' where people have made a strong investment over the years, there's a sense of mourning and of grief,” says Jason Mittell, who teaches media studies at Middlebury College. “But if it works well, there's also a sense of conclusiveness, and a reminder that you can't have life without death.”
Yet the eminent Harvard psychiatrist and author Robert Jay Lifton says that while endings are an inevitable and even necessary stage of human and narrative development, they still deliver a substantial blow to the psyche. “We have a difficult time with endings, because they seem absolute and can be associated with a kind of hopelessness, that there's nothing beyond in which to find meaning or solace,” says Lifton.
“Endings are associated with separation, which can be a profound psychological matter, and ultimately with death,” Lifton adds. However, he says, “We can better accept endings when there is significant meaning that we derive from that narrative or that experience that has ended. ... In reading a powerful book or having any experience with a work of art, the book or film ends, but it reverberates in us, and in that way, continues.”
The way it ends, though, can have a pronounced bearing on the way it reverberates.

Here is how the final scene should have ended. This would have brought closure and left something open to interpretation at the same time.
Tony, Carmela and AJ are sitting at the table, meadow opens the door the screen goes black and a few gunshots are heard. The screen reamins blank for a few more seconds.
Cut to a the Nurisng Home where Uncle Junior lives. Uncle Junior is sitting in a chair looking out the window. Paulie Walnuts enters and approaches Junior. Junior turns to Paulie and says "is it done?" Paulie replies "yes." They embrace. When the start embracing Frank Sinatra's classic "My Way" is heard. Then Roll closing credits.

Intriguing scene-
is the one where Tony is standing just inside the diner door, and looks over the diner crowd, a funny look on his face, then suddenly he is in the crowd, while the song All You Dream plays in the background..

Dream..
yes, there is evidence for that.. 1. episode 86 was a bonus episode.. 2. the room Tony slept in looked different from when he fell asleep to when he woke up, and he was wearing different clothes 4. the song that is playing when he walks in the diner is "All That You Dream" by Little Feat.. 5. he looks at the diner crowd, and then suddenly he's in there..why did Chase shoot it that way?.. 6. no one talks about Phil's death, after it happened..why?
