The Sopranos, Season 6, Part 1 is the most contentious release yet in the acclaimed series' history. While many fans think it jumped the shark at the exact moment Vito said 'I love you, Johnny Cakes' , this season also contains some of the series finest moments and plumbs new depths of character, while continuing to add to the body count. Things get started with a bang, literally, that unexpectedly sends Tony (James Gandolfini) to the hospital and into a coma where he experiences an alternate reality while in limbo. At one point he awakes and asks 'Who am I? Where am I going?' encapsulating this season's central theme in a moment of desperation wrapped in a fever dream. But it's not all existentialism. With Tony and Uncle Junior both of the picture, the capos in the Soprano crew try to take advantage of the situation and begin jockeying for position while a reluctant Silvio (Steve Van Zandt), acting in Tony’s place, struggles to keep everyone in check. Things aren’t going much better for Tony’s family, as A.J. (Robert Iler) confesses to Carmela (Edie Falco) that he flunked out of school, and while at Tony’s bedside, swears revenge for his injury. The stress of the situation finally gets to Carmela, who takes up Dr. Melfi’s (Lorraine Bracco) offer to help and finds herself in the strange position of confiding in her husband’s therapist, revealing for once that she feels some guilt over making the kids complicit in how Tony makes his living—plus there’s the issue of whether she really loves him. Christopher (Michael Imperioli) continues to provide much of the comic relief for the series, culminating in one of this season’s best episodes when he flies out to L.A. in a bumbling attempt to get Ben Kingsley to sign on for his fledgling movie (Saw meets The Godfather), and ends up mugging Lauren Bacall for her goodie basket at an awards ceremony. Sowing further discord in the ranks, Vito (Joseph Gannoscoli) finally gets outed as homosexual, and is forced to flee for his life up to New Hampshire where he meets 'Johnny Cakes.' Finally, even with New York boss Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni (Vince Curatola) in prison, Phil Leotardo (Frank Vincent) makes plays against Tony and eventually sets in motion a hit against someone on Tony’s crew, and now a larger war with Johnny Sack's crew seems to be looming.
Series creator David Chase seems to be saying with this season that character is destiny. If so, then Season Six, Part 1 is taking the necessary time to flesh out who these people really are, and is leaving the destiny part up for Part 2. The fact that the series' writers have been able to maintain such a strong show with so many interweaving storylines for so long is a feat not to be taken lightly. That said, this season of The Sopranos does deserve some of the criticism it's received: the Vito storyline would have been better served by resolving it in fewer episodes, and the season ending is the most unsatisfying one yet, leaving many fans wanting more. But the bottom line is that this season deserves more praise than criticism, proving that even at its weakest, The Sopranos is still the strongest show on TV. --Daniel Vancini

Rating:  - Not the best Sopranos season, but still great
The Sopranos is my favorite television series of all time. It first aired on January 10th, 1999, and after 5 great seasons it finally came down to the final one. 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 1 is not my favorite season of the entire series. Without spoiling anything, I suppose it is because two of the major storylines in Season 6, Part 1, include what is going on with Tony in episodes 2-4 and one involving Vito in episodes 6-11. These two storylines, while good, are not among my favorites in the entire series. But that really is being picky because all of the seasons are so good. These are the episodes that comprise Season 6, Part 1:
Members Only
Join the Club
Mayham
The Fleshy Part of the Thigh
Mr. & Mrs. John Sacrimoni Request
Live Free or Die
Luxury Lounge
Johnny Cakes
The Ride
Moe n' Joe
Cold Stones
Kaisha
My personal favorites from this season were Mr. & Mrs. John Sacrimoni Request, The Ride, and Cold Stones.
Some people didn't like Season 6, Part 1, and as I've stated, it is not my favorite. For me though, that says more about how great the other seasons are more than reflecting anything negative on this particular one. It is still a very good season for an excellent series, and sets up the final episodes.
Rating:  - Wasted Format
I have to agree with everyone that the episodes themselves are great. Bluray is the only way to watch TV on HDTV. My complaint is in the packaging of the Box set.
Why force people to buy TWO BOX sets or 4 disks each to watch what can easily fit on a SINGLE Bluray Disk??? HBO shows complete lack of respect for Consumers, not to mention the enviroment.
The 4 disks are formatted the same as a normal DVD. Wasting 90% of the disk space.
This becomes a huge headache when you actually sit down to watch video. I like to come home from work and sit down and power up the entertainment center and WATCH my programs.
Instead, I get to power up and go to the episode index looking for the next episode. Only to be told I need to change disks.
Sorry for the rant. Over all great material.

Rating: - The Sopranos - Season 6, Part 1 [Blu-ray]
Fantastic. The Sopranos on Blu-ray with great picturs and sound. What is more, this DVD is actually an "All Region" release and not "Region 1" as stated on the package and the Amazon product details.
Looking forward to Season 6 Part 2 but hope there will be a few more extras.
