i fucking hate tony.

Yep, don't think I've ever been hoping for his demise as much as I was after that.

who was that hottie in vegas??? she was yummy

She is why I have absolutly no fucking complaints about this episode

wow... that girl is hot.....but that stoning part was stupid

The chick riding Tony was Sarah Shahi... go watch the L Word if you want to see her in some good girl on girl action (and showing more skin)

Well that death came a little sooner than expected.

Sarah Shahi. However, it is fucking criminal that she did a cowgirl scene with a goddamn t-shirt on.

Like many others, didn't see that coming...and also like many others, am disappointed with how it played out.

All in all, I liked the episode though. Curious to see what, if anything, will come of Tony's new winning streak.

I thought the episode was brilliant.

It's one thing I love about Sopranos. People don't need to die in spectacular fashions. It just happens. This shit came out of nowhere--brilliant. I love the episode description at the beginning of this thread. Kinda amusing now that you know what the episode was really about.

Season 6 part 2 destroys season 6 part 1. I think it's great stuff.

Wow. Tony's dream notwithstanding, that whole crash blindsided me.

Not that I think it, but even though the circumstances surrounding Chris' demise might've seemed like a bullshit copout, life can sometimes be random like that.

I'd have to agree with this. Not that I saw him as a sympathetic character before, but i'd have no problem with him dying in three weeks.

And, yes, Sarah is VERY hot. I first noticed her on Alias and could never figure out why Will had a hard-on for Sydney when Sarah's character practically worshipped the ground he walked on.

And another agreement that AJ's finally got a true storyline and I find myself hoping he frees himself from those fucking punks.

Oh, and while I wasn't necessarily mourning Chris, when Paulie was reflecting on how he treated him gave me a slight lump in my throat. Well, it was either that or the pistachios.

Also, when it was announced that Paulie's mom died coming back from "Jersey Boys", for some reason I chuckled.

Same.

If people still bitch after this episode, they're just impossible to please. I'd rank it up there as one of the best since "Long Term Parking." Tony as such a cold hearted prick pisses me off, but it makes for good TV. Tony's behavior in Vegas was a nice twist.

Yeah -- I think one of the main things Chase wanted to do with this episode is to remind us that we should not be rooting for Tony.

honestly.. i have always rooted for tony even with all the murders he has done. I never had a problem with him killing his cousin, pussy, or whatever random person, but man killing chris just shows us how fucking soulless he really is.

Surprised no one mentioned AJ "Why cant we all just get along"????

Also, why name and episode after the girls who were driving?

Looks like AJ ain't cut out for mob life after all.

I can't blame Tony for taking the opportunity to off Christopher given the circumstances (drug use, high probability of Feds flipping him, etc).

Sarah Shahi in those cut-offs? Yowza.

Any ideas on the significance of using Comfortably Numb in back to back episodes?

Didnt they just show christopher drinking for the first time in last weeks episode? They never showed him doing drugs again

Good call... I wonder. Looks like the Sopranos is going out with a bang and not a whimper. Honestly, I hope Tony doesn't get killed and finds some kind of peace in his life for his kids and wife's sake, although that doesn't seem realistic. For some reason, I always thought he would die by his own hand. I could also envision Janice having a hand in his death to position Bobby for the top spot.

At first I thought Tony killing Chris was just his way of helping out his friend. I mean, it really looked like Chris was a goner anyway so I thought it looked like Tony was easing his pain, a euthanasia move. But, I'm thinking I was just trying too hard to see the good in Tony... Great episode. Makes me want to go back to Caesars' Palace.

Several times.

Personally, I dont hate TOny for what he did. What made him go over the edge (he as about to call 911 to help Chris) was seeing the baby seat mangled.....CHris was using again and beforelong it could have been the baby in that seat.....While I dont always agree with a whacking I dont have a problem (no feelings either way) with this one....It was bound to happen after Chris started using again he becasme too much of a liabilty....

That's what I thought too.

The way Tony figures it, he's saving that baby.

Anyway, great episode. Did NOT see that coming.

I don't think we're really supposed to like a drug dealing, cheating, mafioso
