Description of Sex and the City - Season Six, Part 2:
With these eight episodes, HBO's grand sitcom concluded, leaving untold numbers of women--and many men--feeling deprived. The six-year series certainly did not outlast its welcome; the final season is some of the best TV had to offer in 2004. In many ways, the eight episodes served as a single finale, with all four characters approaching a kind of destiny and happiness, the theme of this last half-season (which aired weeks after the first half). Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) continues her romance with Russian artist (Mikhail Baryshnikov), a flippantly arrogant man who's been around the block, but able to supply Carrie's needed desire for magic. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) has settled down with Steve (David Eigenberg), but there is more that will change with her, including her address. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) continues to make baby plans now that the husband slot is filled quite nicely (Evan Handler). Samantha (Kim Cattrall) brings a good sense of drama to the show with a breast-cancer scare.
Going down the final stretch--and Samantha's cancer--gives the series a more serious tone, but there's always a jab to tickle the funny bone: Miranda's awkwardness with happiness, Charlotte's latest passion, Carrie typing someplace new, and Samantha getting into Paris Hilton territory. Like any series winding down, there is a wedding, a baby, old faces popping up, and some star-ladened new ones (like creative consultant Julia Sweeney as a nun). In the final two-part episode, "An American in Paris," Carrie faces her romantic destiny, but also solidifies herself as a fashion icon, an Audrey Hepburn for 21st-century television. In the penultimate episode, she asks her friends an emotional question: "What if I never met you?" Certainly fans can ask of themselves the same question and reminisce how much better TV became since they first tuned in these four women of the City.
For the last of the DVD sets, the folks behind SATC give their fans a few more DVD extras. As we find out in the near-hourlong 2004 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival Seminar (with executive producer Michael Patrick King, Sarah Jessica Parker, and the writing team), the alternate endings seen here were false leads to throw off the press. Thank goodness--what fan would want one of these endings? More enjoyable is the 11 minutes of deleted scenes from the run of the show. King's expert touches on the commentary are fun to listen to, if a lovefest. And speaking of love, the two farewell tributes are filled with reminiscences and favorite clips, all done with a beautiful fondness for this series. --Doug Thomas
Sex and the City - Season Six, Part 2 Reviews:
Very Satisfied 
2009-11-09 - I was very satisfied with this purchase. It arrived very quickly. I would purchase from this Seller in the future.
With Friends Like This... 
2009-10-29 - I am watching this, fitfully, and wondering why the Samantha (gay code for s'a man, right?) character, playing, against all logic, the girlfriend of a man who would feel ill at ease calling her his mother (not that men serve any funtion in this series other than objects of the increasingly hideous clique's derision) AND a cancer victim. Now, as she works through this terrifying diagnosis, her illiterate BF Carrie (whom I PRAY is named after the S. King novel's eponymous freak) raves on about her love life. Go aheaad, the Samantha character says, Keep making [...] comments. _It helps_. I felt sad for her that one time. The Carrie character, played by the then more-wart-than-woman SJP is supposed to be dating a worldy intellectual and artist. This is "Ick," however to the mentally challenged Carrie, whose favourite grammatical error is "I cannot help but think..." which she is forever typing in one of her columns on a laptop that is never near a book, or book shelf, because why would she need to read a book? The Miranda character is [...], the other one too boring to discuss. The movie should have been about the funeral, not a wedding. Samantha should have killed herself for living so poorly that she deserves friends like this, who laugh about her sexcapades while cancer explodes in her body. She should have screamed Let This Expiate! and stabbed herself. I punched my TV twice.
The Best
2009-08-28 - To have the collection is the best gift to thy self. The product was well worth the purchase. It was in very good condition and arrived before time. I was very pleased.
A Wonderful Show
2009-08-19 - As a fan of Sex and the City, I love this season along with the whole series. Seasons 5 and 6 are a little slower then the previous ones, but they follow the flow of life and are still full of many enjoyable moments and great New York scenes.
Sex and the City Season 6 Part 2
2009-05-03 - The ending to this series was decent. It was nice to see the characters come full circle and see each character find love, even Samantha.
