I have a slightly different view:
AJ finally looks like he's back on "track" so to speak.
AJ is back to denying reality, like the rest of the Soprano clan. All of his pissing and moaning, and all he needed was a new hot girlfriend and a new car.
Tony accepts Meadow's decision to go to law school when she explains that her decision was based upon the way he was treated.
Meadow fucking sold out, like the rest of her family (Carmela especially) for a job that pays $170k. So much for helping the little guy.
Uncle Junior probably has alzheimers disease. Tony realizes that he doesn't need to hate Junior anymore and just pities him.
Tony realizes that being the boss of North Jersey doesn't mean anything, and in the end you die alone in a nursing home and forget where you put the money you worked so hard to earn. Tony sees himself.
Janice is going to be taken care of financially.
Janice is still a shallow, self centered, money grubbing whore.
Phil Leotardo is dead and Tony makes peace with Brooklyn.
Phil is dead, and now everyone can get back to earning... including his own guys. He got on his soapbox about how mistreated he was and how Tony didn't respect the thing. Problem was, this was his own personal crusade and nobody else gave a fuck. Its only about earning. That is why he got whacked.
Paulie looks to be Tony's right hand.
No matter how tough Paulie might appear, he is still a pussy. He bitched and moaned for the entire show about how he never got respect from Tony. Whether is was when Chris was promoted or nobody came to see him in jail. Then, when Tony offers him Capo, he fucking pusses out because the position was cursed. Or whatever insanity he used to justify it.
Sil is probably dead. Chris is dead. Bobby is dead.
Tony doesn't even seem to grieve for these people.
