Customer Reviews of The Sopranos - Season 6, Part 2

Why four discs for only nine episodes?
After the final episode aired earlier this summer, HBO hinted that a massive Sopranos complete series boxed set would be released in time for Christmas of 2008--which might possibly actually contain a bit more bonus material than previous sets have included. However, having shelled out roughly $500 for the previous six packages, I am indifferent to any such "ultimate" edition. I was only interested in picking up these final nine episodes, and assumed that this set would be smaller (and less expensive) than previous sets. <

>Wrong! Why will this set cost the same as the previous sets, all of which (except for Season 6 Part 1) contained 13 episodes--thus running four hours longer than this set? There's no mention of any bonus material on this set... <

>As for these final nine episodes...I don't want to get in a debate over the final five or ten minutes of the last episode, as I didn't really have a problem with the ending itself--I had a problem with the fact that in its overall execution, David Chase seemed to be deliberately thumbing his nose at the audience. That aspect of the ending annoyed me; that I take personally. The first five seasons had been so brilliantly conceived and intricately plotted, that I was frankly expecting something a lot more ingenious. But looking back now at the final 21 episodes of season six, it all seems to be a meandering mishmash of red herrings and loose ends. In particular, the "Chasing It" episode stands as one of the worst in the entire series: for Tony to suddenly morph into a compulsive (or, as he always called them, "degenerate") gambler, 81 episodes into the show, simply didn't ring true. I overlooked a lot of things like that in these final twenty-one episodes, assuming that it was ultimately all going somewhere, but now...the $100 suggested retail price on this comparatively abbreviated set seems only to indicate that these final shows were little more than a final paycheck for everybody involved.

Brilliant
I have followed all seasons of this show. Agree there was a lot of experimentation and less action in the final season. However I feel a lot of folks who say they hate the show because they wanted to see a lot of blood at the end. However Mr.Chase had other plans, a perfect ending.

Great ending to a great story
David Chase wrote the Sopranos to be a show about a mob boss who is having problems with his real family not his mob family. The focus and consistent plot has always been about his real family, with the mob family being the background. A lot of fans took it the other way, that it was a show about a mob guy and his real life family. His original idea was for a mob guy who's mom was trying to have him killed for putting her in a nursing home. That's what the show has been about all along, watching a flawed protagonist muddle through his personal and professional life. David Chase wasn't trying to write characters we would like who would do things we would agree with. The series ended like it began; a mob guy and his wife and kids.
