DVD Reviews of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman - The Complete Season SixDVD Review: Final Farewell To Colorado Springs...Brian Is The One To Watch Summary: 3 Stars
The 6th and final season of "Dr Quinn - Medicine Woman" opens as a continuation of Season 5.The renegade Indians continue their raids,and Sully and Cloud Dancing are still on the run from the Army. Sully hides out, but still manages to get to the Homestead when needed. The first several episodes continue on this story line, and is finally resolved. I love this series, but I kind of thought they milked that storyline till it was dry.
The rest of the season, have some pretty good storylines. Touching, and heartwarming, mixed with historical events. We lose some very likeable characters due to illnesses in a few different episodes and that was a little tough to take. Although the season had it's moments, some that made me smile, some that made me laugh, and others that brought a lump to my throat, I just did not feel that this season was up to par with the first five, and I think the choice to end it here was a good one. Some of the stories seemed like they were plucked right out from the Little House series.
Some of the highlights and touching moments include, Dr. Mike's very emotional miscarriage, and Anthony's illness wins out and Grace takes it very hard. In a wonderful 2 parter "A Time To Heal" a horrible epidemic sweeps through Colorado Springs and we lose some familiar characters. Dr Mike gets shot, and Hank is actually the one who saves her(this was the only time Hank actually did something good this season), Colleen is stalked by a man she met at school in "Seeds of Doubt", Jake and Teresa fall in love, and Willie Nelson returns as the legendary Marshal, in pursuit of a bad guy.Dr Mike is injured once again, and Sully tries to keep her from slipping into a coma as they remember special moments through the series. The series culminates in a beautiful and very moving episode as Colleen and Andrew tie the knot.
Some of the characters have gone through many changes. Jake as mentioned becomes a really good guy and sheds his prejudices. Matthew takes up the law, and looks like he will become a great lawyer. Dorothy, taunted by the town, falls in love with Cloud Dancing, and Colleen finishes up college. Loren mourns the loss of a loved one, but seems to have aquirred the wisdom to help others. But the one to watch is Brian.He provides us with some of the more moving moments, his character grows, not just physically as he becomes a young man, but he seems to possess some wonderful qualities that leave us knowing he will grow into a warm, compassionate person.
The DVDs are very nice as usual. There are 6 volumes in this series. There are still no subtitles,so that all may enjoy this wonderful program, and I would Have thought there would have been a little more in the way of features. There is some commentary on the episode "Point Blank"(where Dr. Mike is shot), with Jane Seymour and James Keach(who directed the episode). There are the usual notes on bios and scene selection.
I would say, if the other season were 5 stars as far as the stories go, then this one is 4, and as usual I will take another off for no subtitles for hearing impaired viewers from A&E. So 3 stars for the pacakge, but a must have for fans to have a conclusion tothis wonderful series and say goodbye to the town and townsfolk we have grown so fond of.
Goodbye Colorado Springs....Laurie
P.S. I did see some VHS of some follow up stories(Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman: Revolutions The Movie 1999), but the prices asked by the sellers were unreasonably high.
