The inability to properly end a great story seems to be a common problem, even among the best. My favorite writer, Stephen King, is notorious for terrible endings...even in the books themselves (not just movies). He tells an amazing story, but the stories don't usually lend themselves to a neat, t

To me the ending made sense. When the first episode aired, it basically showed the daily life of Tony and his family, and that is pretty much how it ended, back to his daily routine minus Bobby and Sil(although we are left wondering what happens to Sil). Bruce ~
