I would not say it "sucked", but it was a bit lacking. Part of the reason may have been the hype resulting from such a long wait.
But the more plausible reason is that they tried to shake it up a bit and that resulted in the demotion or virtual exstinction of many of the characters, both major and minor.
Consider:
1) Hesh- One appearance and then MIA.
2) Junior- Has gone nuts so those classic one liners are gone. Bad move.
3) Johnny Sac- Has gone to jail. Yes I know mobsters do just that, but that diminished his sociopathic (and entertaining) status. Bad move.
4) Tony- As mentioned, was in a coma. Dream Tony does not cut it.
5) Phil- More a diplomat than a menace until the end of the season.
Still, there were some classic moments. When Phil came out of the closet to kill Vito (irony intended). When Arties kills the rabbit and says Mother******.
But its good the series is ending.
