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
Description:
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?

Rating:  - The Ride of a lifetime
Watching the Sopranos season 6 part two was bitter-sweet. It was nice to get to a conclusion, but it was sad to see the show end.
I know many people were disappointed with the ending, but you know, I liked it. I thought it served a purpose in what it was telling us as viwers about life. And I thought it was original, as I can't think of another show who has done anything similar. In all of the episodes this season we're put on a rollercoaster of emotions, we see a lot of things happen in a short time. We see lose ends tied up and questions answered. It's engrossing. By the last episode, we're coming off of that rollercoaster and the ride is winding down. It was a great ride, but it's over now.
I can't say enough good things about this show. Although it's hard to find something that hasnt' already been said. So I'll just say, The Sopranos has earned a spot near the top of my list for my favorite shows of all time. Kudos to the cast, crew and writers. I'll look forward to the chance of a movie!!
Rating: - Overall Excellent but not perfect
I loved the last season. It was excellent. As much as anything I was thrilled with the last scene. Chase is telling us that life goes on for Tony. There is no definite end, as in real life there is often no definite end. Unlike what some people believe, there is no Michael Corleone coming out of the bathroom to kill Tony.
There is one objection to the last season. The way that Chase ended the relationship between Melfi and Tony was very poorly done. From the beginning of the series, there was no belief expressed by Melfi that she could change Tony's way of life. Her goal was to make him as comfortable as possible in the life that he had. Thus, it was ridiculous to dismiss him due to the theory that she had discovered.
Rating:  - scratched discs
I bought this as a Father's Day gift, supposedly new. The product was sealed but the second and last discs were scratched enough to where they skip during play. I have not checked on returning. I only reviewed this purchase because they requested me to. Make sure you are not getting a used item!
Rating: - The long ending
This is the best season yet, I believe. Unbelievable rich and unpredictable. So much is made of the final scene, however, that I wanted to point out that this whole last season is one long ending. To really understand The Ending of The Sopranos we must first acknowledge that were are in fact several endings, & that the final diner scene is just the last of many curtains being drawn on this sprawling saga.
I think that Christopher's murder and Tony's triumphant proclamation of "I get it!" brings many things to a close. His trip through therapy and the hope of some enlightenment ends at that haunting moment in the desert. He is so deluded and spiritually vacant at that point, it's clear the emotional/psychological journey he began ends here.
That scene also bring the long awaited punch line to season 6, which could be described as "Tony get shot by his uncle, and kills his nephew."
We've been waiting for the answer to the question "How does Tony ultimately respond to the shooting?" We get our answer when he becomes for Christopher what HIS uncle was for him.
"Blue Comet" ends with what many saw as a cliffhanger - Tony in bed with a big machine gun, waiting for his enemies, but I think it too was another curtain being drawn on the story.
We are meant to ask "What is Tony's reaction to this disaster (Bobby & Silvio shot)?" The answer? He goes to sleep. There can be no coming back from this, but he has achieved the emotional numbness ... Read More
