So no more Christopher eh? A shock obviously but the worst episode of the series so far (obviously it was still brilliant it was just the worst by Sopranos standards) Yeah it wasnt the greatest episode. Hopefully the last three are better

Tony has always been a love/hate character for me,i think that is the whole appeal of the show is it not? That we can find ourseleves rooting for a guy who can be a right nasty piece of work when he has to be!

Thats true, but after seeing him kill Christopher I could no longer root for Tony (similar to how I felt about Michael Corleone after he killed Fredo).

I cant even remember the reason Chris died now... Tony: "The biggest burden of my career is now gone." He was a drug addict for one, so the feds could pick him up and flip him on drug charges (like pussy). Because he was a druggie, he was unreliable. Still though, my opinion of T changed a little after Kennedy and Heidi.

Third last one last night... Excellent again! Tony kicking Coco's teeth in then finding a fang in his trousers during AJ's therapy session later... Poor AJ. Brilliantly played by Robert Iler but what a poor turd he has been since Episode 1. When he was getting admitted to hospital Carmela saying "What ever happened to our happy little boy?" Happy boy? Have i been watching a different Sopranos than everyone else? I don't think i have ever seen AJ smile yet...

Since the episode's aired now, I'll say this: that scene with AJ in the pool is gutwrenching. A vital inclusion in light of what Tony did the week before. It kept me on his side. Very astute observation, Capo. Tony really needed to show the audience a redeeming quality at that point. It would have been too easy to root against him, if not for the episode with A.J.

What an honour! I am chuffed

What an honour! I am chuffed Yogi (and anyone else who has yet to see the ending), when you finally finish the series (what a thing to say!), I'd like to hear your thoughts on the ending. There's a thread somewhere with like 20 pages full of thoughts.

So that's that then Do you know what that final scene in the diner reminded me of? Something out of the Final Destination films! you know something is going to happen,the suspense is building up! I know nothing happened...or did it? I liked the ending. Mr. Chase does it again. For the episode itself? Paulie and the cat? ("Snakes in fur") Hilarious Little to much about AJ but that has been a theme of this last series! Phil getting his just desserts! All excellent Sorry to see it go Have to devote myself to the Black Donnellys instead now.....

Depends on what you like, I suppose. You can either look at it as lazy continuity, or making the most of the actual form - a television series. Chase and co. found it quite a challenge and a thrill to write individual, self-enclosed episodes and still do the overall arc thing. Some people, on the flip side, find it challenging but not thrilling to watch something so fragmented and lacking continuity. I accepted it after season 3, really.

I like it because you can either watch a random episode and not be lost or you can watch it in order and see the overall arc of the story.
