Not an unnecessary whacking, probably long over due in a way, but I hated the way they killed chris. I thought the car crash thing was really stupid. It also seemed lazy to have adrianna and chris get into car accidents with tony.

I always felt that chris the series version of watching a guy rise through the ranks. Different guys represented mob guys at different points in their career. You had tony the boss, junior the old timer, paulie and silvio the veterans and chris the young guy who goes through the mob life cycle in the show from associate to de facto underboss at one point. I thought he should have gotten killed off in a more traditional way than he did. The car crash-smothering just seemed stupid.
