What a phenomenal episode. Just when some people start to think that it has jumped the shark and run out of ideas, something like this happens. Thats what separates this show from all others, the constant potential threat of any character dying at any time. What other show has that possibility?

Christopher's death was portrayed very well, and for once, it occured at the beginning of the episode instead of the end, allowing us to see all of the character's reactions and the aftermath when it is fresh in our minds. Seeing him lying in that casket is a sight I never thought I'd ever see! (except for when he did it in The Basketball Diaries) Michael Imperioli did a great job in the last 8 years. He really proved himself to be a talented actor and writer and I'm sure we'll be seeing great things from him in time.
