DVD Reviews of The Sopranos - Season 6, Part 2

DVD Review: all good things come to an end..
Summary: 4 Stars

... and so do great things. The final season did nothing to let this viewer down (well, they played JOURNEY in the scene and added insult to injury by playing this heinous group way too loud... maybe they are from New Jersey? HORRIBLE.. at least they had the affect of making me want the show to be over and DONE).

Aside from one notable Soprano crew member getting whacked, the final season did not disappoint me in the least. It stuck to its 'day in the life' formula and integrated very normal plots with normal / non-surprising finales. No twists.

Unfortunately, you can't help but like Tony and his family (well, AJ could die). And any Soprano follower could have watched this show continue for the next .. well, 'til they are dead. And there is no reason they couldn't keep the show going if slowly filtered in new characters to ... yes... replace the current ones. Hey, that's the stoy of the mob so go with it.

So yes, it is sad to see a great show go, but it's not a sad conclusion (someone should get whacked for putting that horrid Journey song in the final scene).

The only reason this gets a 4 vs. a 5 is because season 5 was clearly a "5" and there were episodes in seasons 1-3 that were pure works of art (see "Isabella", season 1). Oh yeah and Journey.. maybe I should make this one a "3".

DVD Review: Good but not the best season
Summary: 4 Stars

The final season of the Sopranos is a bit of a letdown since it did not really end. Life is like that though - when the final credits roll the lives of the characters go on, so it is OK. This was a great series and I enjoyed it all.

DVD Review: Well Done,UNTIL THE LAST EPISODE.....
Summary: 4 Stars

Television soap opera is hardly real life,and violent,mobster soap opera,like"The Sopranos" is a prime example...In real life there are always endings..people get married and do or do not live happily ever after...We do things that we either do or do not have to account for..We are born,we live out our lives,however good,bad,or otherwise,and then we die...While things in real life may not end in the sort of "all-Is-Revealed" formula,there are wrap ups to all lives...Indeed,sometimes at the very end of life a pattern is revealed that explains all that went before...
Television soap opera more or less requires the wrap up,the episode at the end where everything that went before is explained,tied together,sorted out...Television soap opera,when coming to the end of a run requires closure...
The Sopranos was a very good show,for a very long time..Unless the producers are intending to bring the show back at some future date,taking up where the final episode left off that final episode was and is a slap in the face to every fan...A lot of what went on before was sorted out,but what about Tony?
Now I will admit that there are those who seem to think that the ending given us by the producers was"brilliant"..To each his own...Some people like fried peanut butter sandwiches and thrive on the sort of art that can only be described as buckets of paint that have been thrown wily-nily onto a canvas...Not me..Not most of the people that I know who watched,and waited for closure but never got it...

DVD Review: The Sopranos season 6 part 2
Summary: 5 Stars

My wife and I are very pleased and sorry that this fine series has ended. We are ready to start over again with season one...
Would recommend this to anyone the ending left it wide open to start a new season if the cast would all be there...

DVD Review: Last of the Great Ones
Summary: 5 Stars

This is regretably the last installment in the Sopranos TV series. Aside from the consistently high quality of the show, the DVDs received from Amazon appeared to be new as advertised. As is routinely the case, the Amazon cost and shipping was highly competitive. I'm only sorry there are no more seasons to collect.

Description of The Sopranos - Season 6, Part 2

Last year, Tony Soprano cheated death when he was shot by his now institutionalized Uncle Junior. While Tony continues to muse about his second chance at life, he faces a myriad of immediate, stress-inducing crises at home, at work and from the law. Tony's wife Carmela plans for a future she's not sure will arrive, and son AJ and daughter Meadow find that adulthood holds its own surprises. Meanwhile, at work, Tony comes to doubt the allegiances of many of those closest to him ? no one, not Paulie, Bobby, Silvio or even Christopher is above suspicion. The clock is ticking. Time is running out. But on who?

Completing the run of one of the most acclaimed television shows in broadcast history, season 6, part II of The Sopranos will be remembered mostly not for what happened during the season, but for what didn't happen at the very end. Creator David Chase pulled off a series ending that was as controversial as it was surprising and unforgettable, leaving countless fans to look away from the show and to blogs and articles for answers to the biggest mystery since "who shot J.R.?": what happened to Tony Soprano? But before we get to that point, there are nine episodes to digest, and they are some of the best in the run of the show since season 3. As Tony's (James Gandolfini) paranoia and suspicions grow, his family makes choices that are threatening to bring big changes to his personal life, and his other "family" is crashing headlong towards an inevitable showdown with Phil Leotardo and the New York crew. Episode 1, "Soprano Home Movies," starts off peacefully enough with Tony and Carmela (Edie Falco) enjoying a relaxing summer weekend at Bobby and Janice's (Steve Schirripa and Aida Turturro) bucolic lake house, and by the end of the episode Tony has effectively taken Bobby's soul, proving Tony's ruthlessness and ending any doubt about his will to maintain dominance over those around him. In "Kennedy and Heidi," one of the season's signature episodes, Christopher's (Michael Imperioli) drug use continues to spiral out of control, forcing Tony to take matters into his own hands and resolve things with his nephew once and for all.

Inevitably it's all leading up to that big finale, and it's deftly handled over the last two episodes, "The Blue Comet" and "Made in America" (an episode replete with subtle references to The Godfather). Things finally start to get resolved with Phil's crew, Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco), Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese), A.J. (Robert Iler), and Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler), and as for Tony. Cut to black. To quote from another hit HBO show of the same era, "everything ends," even The Sopranos, and while the way Chase chose to end The Sopranos may not be to the liking of fans hoping for a definitive resolution, give the man credit for not stooping to clich?s or tired old scenarios. As A.J. says in one of the last lines of the entire series, quoting his father, "Try to remember the times that were good." That's good advice. --Daniel Vancini
