I loved this episode! I also think the final scene in the show will be Tony and his wife at the ice cream palor or pizza parlor where they first meet and Comfortably numb is playing on the juxbox.

Sad thing is that's probably close to what's gonna happen. They've clearly run out of any creativity so re-running a song for the 3rd time in the background of a pointless scene sounds right on track to me.

Great episode. Makes me want to go back to Caesars' Palace.
I was thinking the same. He was gonna die within minutes anyway..........

Seriously, people just die in freak accidents man. There was a car accident. Chris probably would have died anyways. They say he may have been able to live but that's a very big if.[/QUOTE
what i was pointing out was his death was not anywhere near as dramatic or powerful as Adrianas or Pussys...thus the downhill slide the writing has taken on this show this season

But I know that is wishful thinking not grounded in the reality of the the 2nd half of this season.
The more I think about it, the more I agree with you... that it will end with some group gathering at a restaurant... probably celebrating AJ being "made". At that gathering they will all reminisce about how they got their start.... and then fade to black.

Everybody always talks about Christopher's verbal gaffes, but what about Tony. He was lying there "prostate." That was hilarious although that might have been last episode.

Tony's good for some verbal miscues but the difference is he always just says them matter of factly. When Chrissy would say these things he always acted like he thought he was Confucious himself, dropping these jewels on everybody.

I don't understand why everyone thinks every death has to be "dramatic or powerful" and why that represents a downhill slide. People die in a non-dramatic and powerful way every day. I'd rather see realism than drama for dramas sake.

guess you can say the movie idea died with Christopher. What good would a Sopranos movie be without Christophur?

People clip their toenails every day too... that doesn't mean that I want to tune in to watch characters doing that.

Exactly. "Comfortably Numb" hasn't been playing on repeat in "The Sopranos" for no reason at all.
This wasn't about Tony killing a member of his crew because he had to, like with Tony B. or Big Pussy, or Adriana, and it wasn't about Tony killing somebody off as the culmination of some conflict, like with Ralphie.
This is about Tony killing off a member of his crew for no particular reason, and then feeling a need to justify or rationalize it to himself, even though he doesn't feel particularly bad or guilty about it.
More to the point, he's been wanting to kill one of his crew since the beginning of his run, and he's not been particularly picky about who he might want to rub out. He's considered killing Bobby and Paulie as well. Maybe he's drifting into madness and paranoia (here's a high that won't make you paranoid). Maybe his hostility toward his crew is a transference of something he doesn't like about himself.

Prisoner and Twin Peaks also had far shorter runs (18 and 29 episodes I believe)......The closest comparison is probably 'The Wire' which has had 4 masterful years.....

- Carmela dies before the movie.
- Tony winds up married to Kelli, Christopher's widow.
- Christopher comes back from the dead, but his hand is replaced with a meat cleaver.
- Christopher kills Tony for revenge.
