he is an evil person, and the show never showed the civilists taken damage by his doings. it left more with a feeling of the mob being some sort of quirky guys doing crook things. showing him dying of age or sth would have been way to immoral for the audience. that's why i hoped for an open end rather than "he gets what he deserved" thing.
ps: that's why the death note ending sucks
-Possible spoiler, read own risk- Well the video I saw about the ending pretty much suggests that he did, in fact, die. Every time they cut to a member of his family coming in, it cuts to Tony's Point of view looking at the door. The guys that comes in behind his son, for whatever reason, the camera follows him a little too much, and he goes into the bathroom, just behind Tony's line of sight.
The suggestion is, the reason it goes to black screen, is because when his daughter came in, we hear the bell, and when it should've cut to Tony's POV, he was actually shot in the head by the man that went into the bathroom- just out of his line of sight. His death was instantaneous, thus why the music abruptly ends and it cuts to a black screen. Just one idea out of many, though.
-End of "possible" spoiler-
I will say it's worth it to stick it out through the entire run of The Shield. There are a few parts that kind of trail off- mostly in the third season- but after that everything is very solid. Every series has a few missteps and unexplained character absences, so I was very forgiving of the issues with the show given how good it was otherwise.
When you get around to watching it, let me know what you think.
