Editorial Review:
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?
Description of The Sopranos: Season 6 Part 2 [Blu-ray]:
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 Johnny Sack (Vincent Curatola) 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 his family. 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 for the sake of a closing. As A.J. says in the final scene, quoting his father, "Try to remember the times that were good." Good advice. --Daniel Vancini
The Sopranos: Season 6 Part 2 [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Finally! The Sopranos Like They Were Meant To Be Seen! 
2009-06-18 - This is a wonderful set!! The hi-def blu-ray format makes it even more spectacular. For the true Sopranos fan. Who would'nt want to take a walk down memory lane with "T" & the crew in 1080? BUY THIS BLU-RAY!!( p.s.. Not for the special features geeks! Only two featurettes & a select few episodes with commentary tracks.)
Love it! 
2008-08-16 - I love this show and seeing it on blu-ray is awesome! The price is great compared to other stores!
Superb ending: you won't be disappointed. 
2008-02-04 - I was expecting to be disappointed, but found the ending of The Sopranos to be quite perfect. In fact, all of Season 6 just might be my favorite (not counting certain earlier scenes, as when Janice murders Richie Aprile, Silvio shoots poor Adriana as she crawls away from him, begging for her life, and the sequence about Vito, the gay gangster). Actually, there were many incredible moments, as everybody who loves the show knows, but there was something particularly touching and "right" about these last ones. How fun was Melfi's coming to terms with the fact that Tony's therapy is a bunch of b.s. and her dinner with her envious colleagues, including her sly therapist, played wonderfully by Peter Bogdanovich? As for the ending itself: it's impossible to kill someone you love (yes, even Christopher knew that). So why did we expect David Chase to kill off the Sopranos we know he must love, with all their flaws and vices? Did we expect that he would leave them any less a conundrum to us in the end? They finally appear, despite all the horrible things they've seen and done, a loyal, amusing, fun-loving, stylish, charming family unit, munching on onion rings at a beloved diner, and waiting, no doubt, for the axe to fall. Actually, they're like a lot of folks I know, how about you?
Thanks HBO for the series...but 
2007-12-12 - Greetings to all Sopranos fans out there. I really wish not to spoil anything for your folks while reading this but as a fan i can assure you disapointment.
i had actually waited till the BD version of season 6 parts 1 & 2 came out. Never read or bothered to ask anyone what happend in the end of this amazing saga.
Just today i finished watching both parts and honeslty i was shocked by disapointment on 2 levels:
1) the ending seemed like not an ending but some leaway for possibly bringing it back, (wishful thinking)
2) very poor special features on the last disk. (even the commentay was not there for the last episode.)
i mean i am still a fan and will be forever but i dont know i felt like ...there is still something. The cat staring @ Chris's picture @ the Badda Bing back room and the way T sort of ....well i will stop here.
Thanks HBO for all these years of an amazing series. It was terrific but the ending episode did not do it for me. I hope they release some sort of speical edition work around the episoeds or something. I feel there is something missing still even after: MADE IN AMERICA!
A Masterpiece 
2007-08-07 - I obviously don't own this yet but own all boxsets up till now and having watched the new episodes a number of times it is a superb climax to what is possibly the greatest TV show while not hitting the highs of series five it still remains quality throughout with the last two episodes in particular being fantastic.
