The Sopranos - Season 6 Part 2 [Blu-ray]

The Sopranos is my favorite television series of all time. It first aired on January 10th, 1999, and after seventy-seven episodes it finally came down to the final nine episodes that make up "Season 6, Part 2". I definitely miss the series. The combination of great writing, acting, drama, and even humor made me want to never miss an episode.

Season 6, Part 2 is not necessarily my favorite season of the entire series, but that is being picky because all of the seasons are excellent, and some of the episodes in Season 6, Part 2 are among the best in the series. These are the episodes that comprise Season 6, Part 2:

Soprano Home Movies
Stage 5
Remember When
Chasing It
Walk Like a Man
Kennedy and Heidi
The Second Coming
The Blue Comet
Made in America

My personal favorites from this season were Soprano Home Movies, Kennedy and Heidi, The Blue Coment, and of course the finale, Made In America.

As far as the finale goes, David Chase never went by the rules during the Sopranos run, and the last episode was no different. Personally, I thought that the ending was brilliant. A lot has been made about what exactly happened or didn't happen in the final episode, and many people have some very strong opinions about whether or not they approve of the way it ended. I guess we now know why Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" is playing during the last scene:

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Some people liked the finale, while others did not. No matter how the series were to end, there were going to be some people who weren't going to be happy. It is simply too difficult to please everyone. When Tony is looking through the jukebox to play Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", the song "Anyway You Want It" is clearly visible. Ultimately, the purpose of the ending is for you, the viewer, to decide what happened, and you can have it any way you want it. Some might find that extremely frustrating, while others will see the genius of it all.

I love this show and seeing it on blu-ray is awesome! The price is great compared to other stores!

I was expecting to be disappointed, but found the ending of The Sopranos to be quite perfect. In fact, all of Season 6 just might be my favorite (not counting certain earlier scenes, as when Janice murders Richie Aprile, Silvio shoots poor Adriana as she crawls away from him, begging for her life, and the sequence about Vito, the gay gangster). Actually, there were many incredible moments, as everybody who loves the show knows, but there was something particularly touching and "right" about these last ones. How fun was Melfi's coming to terms with the fact that Tony's therapy is a bunch of b.s. and her dinner with her envious colleagues, including her sly therapist, played wonderfully by Peter Bogdanovich? As for the ending itself: it's impossible to kill someone you love (yes, even Christopher knew that). So why did we expect David Chase to kill off the Sopranos we know he must love, with all their flaws and vices? Did we expect that he would leave them any less a conundrum to us in the end? They finally appear, despite all the horrible things they've seen and done, a loyal, amusing, fun-loving, stylish, charming family unit, munching on onion rings at a beloved diner, and waiting, no doubt, for the axe to fall. Actually, they're like a lot of folks I know, how about you?

Greetings to all Sopranos fans out there. I really wish not to spoil anything for your folks while reading this but as a fan i can assure you disapointment.

i had actually waited till the BD version of season 6 parts 1 & 2 came out. Never read or bothered to ask anyone what happend in the end of this amazing saga.

Just today i finished watching both parts and honeslty i was shocked by disapointment on 2 levels:
1) the ending seemed like not an ending but some leaway for possibly bringing it back, (wishful thinking)
2) very poor special features on the last disk. (even the commentay was not there for the last episode.)

i mean i am still a fan and will be forever but i dont know i felt like ...there is still something. The cat staring @ Chris's picture @ the Badda Bing back room and the way T sort of ....well i will stop here.

Thanks HBO for all these years of an amazing series. It was terrific but the ending episode did not do it for me. I hope they release some sort of speical edition work around the episoeds or something. I feel there is something missing still even after: MADE IN AMERICA!

I obviously don't own this yet but own all boxsets up till now and having watched the new episodes a number of times it is a superb climax to what is possibly the greatest TV show while not hitting the highs of series five it still remains quality throughout with the last two episodes in particular being fantastic.
