I love the Hollywood episode when Chris and Murmur mug Lauren Bacall because it shows them for the punk lowlifes that they actually are. Just like when Chris and Paulie killed the waiter after they stiffed him on a big check.
When reduced to their lowest and most desperate, they're no better than any gang affiliated thug in East L.A. or the South Bronx. And there are more guys in the life like that--especially today--than any of the fanboys want to hear about.
When Christopher later chokes on his own blood (with some help from his father figure, Tony), I think of that Lauren Bacall scene, say to myself that karma's a bitch, and I smile.
Give me shit about it. I couldn't care less. That's how I feel. For every honorable guy in that world (and I'm talking real life now), there are three Chris Molstisantis. I never understood the popularity of his character. He was a junkie lowlife and a liability from his first appearance until his last.
Oh, as an aside. If he pulled that pistol on his boss like he did in the episode where he was jealous about Adriana, he'd be part of the Jersey Turnpike today. And Adriana would probably still be alive, banging Tony behind Carmela's back, and she'd be a high echelon CI as a result.
Totally agree tony is always saying "how would it look" well it looked like you allowed an underling to pull a gun on you.
Also on pulling guns on Tony, Artie did it about his restaurant and Tony kept looking around afterwards to see if any body saw because he knew what he would have to do if it had been witnessed
Would Chris ever had been made really!! what did Paulie say do they know he likes his chemistry kit too much when he was in hospital after being shot, so they knew he was a junkie or likely to become one there was a lot of creative license in the series on the whole not to distract from it brilliance as TV.
