Worthy ending for a fine show, but... I was a fan of "Sex and the City" right from the start, and I believe the writers of the series came up with an ending for the series that was pitch perfect. Each of the four main characters grew as a person during the course of the series, and each character developed in a way that was consistant with her personality. The final four episodes of the series finds the ladies being called upon the deal with some decidedly grown-up issues: Miranda takes her aging mother-in-law into her home, Samantha deals with breast cancer with bravery and humor. The last two episodes, "An American Girl in Paris," are quite well-written, with Carrie dropped into a fantasy world of Parisian fashion and old-world romance with the Russian, and SJP does a good job portraying Carrie's longing for the city she loves and her friends as dark side of her fantasy life becomes apparent. As the series draws to an end, there is no quadruple wedding (the show's single fans would have stormed HBO's office with pitch forks if that had happened,) there is no miracle pregnancy for Charlotte. The show was always much tell well written for such a pat and unrealistic ending. Yet, the final episode ends with each of the ladies with prospects for a happy future. And, yes, I swooned when the oh-so-elusive Mr. Big showed up in Paris to claim Carrie for his own. My only problem with the DVD is the one that many others seem to have: HBO should have never have split the final season into two DVDs. This behavior is disrespectful to the shows loyal fans for two reasons: 1.) The shameless greed it shows. 2.) Fans had to wait several months for the final four episodes. They simply are not providing good value for the money. Also, I might add that the extras on the Season 6, Part 2 DVD are nothing special. For the extra expense and wait that HBO forced the "Sex and the City" fans to go to, there should have been much more.
