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 clichés 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

Rating: - all good things come to an end..
... 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 ... Read More
Rating: - Good but not the best season
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.
Rating: - Well Done,UNTIL THE LAST EPISODE.....
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 ...

- The Sopranos season 6 part 2
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...
Rating: - Last of the Great Ones
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.
